You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

The boy's pupils shrank.

But soon, he laughed again and shook his head: "It's useless."

The woman's initial panic quickly dissipated after hearing this. She laughed dryly and said to Su Chen, "Master Su, my husband and I are both in the Magic City. How could Xiaojie possibly accompany his grandmother back home? We are not those working people. We can't afford to support Xiaojie."

The man nodded: "That's right."

"Besides, the schools in Shanghai are all very good. Xiaojie will definitely be able to get into university if he studies here."

The old lady nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Yes, yes, Taoist Su, as long as you can cure Xiaojie, he can go to school normally, and our Liang family will have a college student in the future."

The light in the boy's eyes dimmed again with their words.

Su Chen sighed and looked at the old lady.

"If he is not allowed to return home."

"Your Liang family has college graduates, but no descendants."

The old lady was surprised: "Why?"

Su Chen pointed at the couple next to him.

"Why else?"

"Your grandson isn't sick at all. He's been tortured by his own mother, dragged to the hospital every day for treatment, hospitalization, IV drips, and medication. It's only because of his strong willpower that he's been able to hold on until now. An ordinary child would have jumped off the building long ago."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, blinked, and turned to look at her daughter-in-law blankly.

"How beautiful! Master Su..."

The woman's voice suddenly rose.

"He's just talking nonsense. Mom, Xiaojie is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. He is the lifeblood of our Liang family. How could I possibly torment Xiaojie like this?"

She explained eagerly, and soon pulled the man next to her: "Maoshan, please help me explain, am I not good to Xiaojie? What did I not buy him? Every time the season changes, I spend much more money on clothes and shoes for him than on us, don't I?"

Liang Maoshan was shocked by Su Chen's words for a while, but now he listened to his wife's words and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, yes."

Then he looked at Su Chen doubtfully: "Master Su, did you make a mistake?"

"Whether it's right or not, you can go to the hospital and ask Xiaojie's attending doctor and you'll know."

Su Chen raised his eyes calmly: "Of course, your problem is also very big."

The man was startled.

"Although you have a lot of business and social engagements, you don't have to spend every day drinking and partying outside."

"Why do you think your wife is tormenting Xiaojie like this?"

"When wasn't it to call you home?"

The man stammered a few words, feeling something was wrong, and stared at his wife Zhang Meili suspiciously.

The latter's eyes were a little evasive, but he soon became confident again.

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Xiao Jie is our lifeblood. If anything happens, shouldn't I call and tell you? Do I have to wait until Xiao Jie is terminally ill before telling you?"

"Xiao Jie is not just my child. You are Xiao Jie's father. If I don't tell you, who should I tell?"

The man pondered for a moment and nodded again.

The old lady suddenly realized and looked at Su Chen with some suspicion.

"Master Su, are you saying this to break up my son because he's rich and has a good relationship with his wife?"

"We came here today to ask you to treat Xiaojie. Why did you mention them?"

Zhang Meili felt more confident after hearing this.

"That's right, Mom. I think this Taoist Priest Su is just a name with no substance."

"His calculations are totally inaccurate."

"Xiao Jie is sick. It's such a serious illness and he needs to take so many medicines, but he insists that he's not sick and calls himself a miracle doctor. Ugh!"

She was talking, but when she spitted, even Old Song and Ge Ping'an in the teahouse couldn't help it.

The two old men were in perfect harmony. One held the teapot and the other held the teacup. They went out and poured the tea all over Zhang Meili.

"Do you dare to spit at me again?"

"That's right, Master Su, you dare to say that? Are you tired of living?"

Zhang Meili looked at her clothes in disbelief.

Then she started screaming "Ahhhh".

"You two damn old men!"

"I'll fight you!"

Old Song put his hands on his hips and said, "Come on, who's afraid of you, a bitch?"

Ge Pingan glared: "That's right, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but I've never seen anyone who, just to win favor, would pretend that their healthy son is sick and torture him every day."

Seeing that Zhang Meili was just talking big but not doing anything, and didn't dare to come and hit them, Ge Pingan looked at the old lady and said, "Big sister, you'd better open your eyes. Your daughter-in-law is just a smiling tiger. She is polite to you in front of others, but who knows how she might bully your grandson behind your back."

"You're still questioning whether Master Su's calculations are correct. I think you're just feeling guilty and angry, aren't you?"

After hearing what Ge Ping'an said, the old lady felt that there was some truth to it.

She looked at her son, then at her daughter-in-law, and finally hesitated, then lowered her body and looked at Xiaojie.

"Xiao Jie, tell grandma, does mom really bully you behind our backs at home?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Meili laughed dryly.

"Mom, why are you still suspicious?"

"Even if I hit Xiaojie, I'm still disciplining the child."

"In our country, if a child is naughty, he or she will be beaten with a stick. The devil doesn't even have sticks, so I just gave him a small punishment. It's nothing, don't you think?"

The old lady said nothing.

Zhang Meili could only look at Liang Maoshan aggrievedly: "Husband, please help me say something."

"And it's not just me who beats him. Sometimes you come home drunk and beat Xiaojie too."

The man's eyes were weak, and he laughed dryly, looking at the old lady: "Mom, whose children didn't get beaten when they were young? When you beat me when I was young, you used a carrying pole. Look at me, am I as desperate as Xiaojie?"

The old lady was somewhat persuaded.

She nodded: "That's right."

Old Song and Ge Ping'an were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.

One rolled his eyes, and the other looked at Xiaojie pitifully.

"I now understand why Taoist Su said that even though your Xiaojie can get into college, your Liang family will still have no descendants."

"I have a grandmother who's like a fence-sitter and can't tell right from wrong, a mother who tortures me from time to time and forces me to take medicine and stay in the hospital, and a father who..." Old Song pointed at Liang Maoshan, "who gets drunk every day and stays out of the house and abuses his father whenever he has a little money. If it were me, I'd just find a rope and hang myself."

Ge Pingan nodded: "That's right, this child is still young now. When he grows up and has some ability to support himself, he will definitely run away from home."

His eyes lit up as he said, "Yes, Xiaojie, you can run away from home now. We won't live with them."

Old Song suddenly thought of something: "That's not right!"

He looked at Su Chen: "Master Su, you said Xiaojie was admitted to university. He must have been eighteen years old at that time, right? Wouldn't it be easy for him to leave this family? Why is the Liang family still without descendants? Doesn't "no descendants" mean that he is dead, but that he doesn't want to get married?"

He nodded subconsciously as he spoke: "That's right. After being tortured like this since childhood, I definitely don't have much expectation for marriage."

The old lady was anxious: "What should I do?"

Then he heard Su Chen say, "If his fate hadn't changed, he would have died two years after graduating from university. He filled a basin with water and drowned himself in the bathroom."

Everyone: "!!!"

The boy's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

It turns out that you can commit suicide this way?
