The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"Kunzi, go home first! I have something to say to this girl. And Manchun, you go and do your work too, don't stand here." The old man's attitude was very firm this time, and Chen Manchun was a little scared. She went to the kitchen with a pale face.

Mingkun didn't want to leave. Was their perfect relationship really going to be torn apart by a few words from the old man? Yunshu, on the other hand, really wanted to chat more with this unusual-looking old man.

Despite her sadness, Yun Shu bravely said, "Let's go back first! I'm fine!"

Seeing that Yun Shu's complexion had regained some color and she seemed to be alright, Ming Kun wasn't as worried as before. Fine, let Yun Shu ask the old man how they ended up together, what the solution was, or if he was destined to be alone forever and would still cling to Yun Shu.

After Mingkun left, Chen Manchun took her vegetable basket and went out to pick vegetables in her own garden. Before leaving, she glanced at her father-in-law with some concern; his face was somewhat pale.

After they all left, Grandpa Xiao spoke again, staring at Yun Shu, "Girl! Go in and draw another lot!" Grandpa Xiao opened his eyes again and looked at Yun Shu seriously. This time, Grandpa Xiao's expression was obviously different from before; he looked serious and solemn.

"Okay!" Yun Shu was a little puzzled. Wasn't the lottery supposed to be done only once? Why did she have to draw again? Would her fate be different if she drew again?

So Yun Shu went back inside, bowed three times to the Bodhisattva, and then shook the divination sticks again. She took out a stick that had fallen to the ground and solemnly handed it to Grandpa Xiao.

When Grandpa Xiao saw Yun Shu shake the fortune stick again, his previously furrowed brows finally relaxed. After looking at it for several seconds, he said, "Young lady, if you are still with Kunzi three years from now, and I am still alive, bring this fortune stick back, and I will interpret it for you then."

Yun Shu knew she had drawn the same fortune stick as before. She had seen that the previous one was identical to the one she had drawn, except that the previous one was given to Grandpa Xiao by Sister-in-law Man Chun. But could Grandpa Xiao really have two different interpretations for one fortune stick? She had initially held onto some hope, but drawing the same fortune stick twice in a row was strange, making her certain that fortune telling was actually quite accurate, after all, it had been passed down from their ancestors for thousands of years.

After Grandpa Xiao finished speaking, he told Yun Shu to leave. After leaving his house, Yun Shu was pale and weak, and walked back to Ming Kun's house without knowing how.

This time, Mingkun's dog didn't bark anymore when she went inside. Upon entering the Xiao family's courtyard, she heard voices coming from the living room, causing her to immediately stop and not go any further.

Inside, I could hear Sister Manchun talking to Xiao Mingkun's mother, Liu Yufen.

"Auntie, you don't know what Father-in-law said about Yunshu. She's a tough person, she's bad luck to her family. If she marries Akun, they'll divorce sooner or later, and in serious cases, their family will be destroyed. You must stop them from getting married!"

“Sister-in-law, how can you say that! Fortune telling is completely unreliable. My uncle told my fortune before and said I had a strong destiny, and I’m doing just fine now.” Mingkun angrily objected.

“Ah Kun, you can’t say that. We’re all family. When has your father-in-law ever been wrong when he tells fortunes? And you heard it yourself. He predicted that you would have a lot of troubles in your life, and it came true! Look, you were almost harmed three years ago. If it weren’t for your father-in-law, Minmin’s matter wouldn’t have been resolved so quickly.” Chen Manchun said with a pout, clearly displeased. This family just forgets the past once the wound has healed. It hasn’t been long before they want to provoke people they shouldn’t mess with.

When Mingkun heard her say that, his eyes darkened, but he still objected, saying, "Everyone has their share of troubles in their life. Besides, it's ridiculous that you can judge our future marriage just by seeing Yunshu once!"

“Minmin, your father-in-law was very opposed to her marriage back then, and now look at you, you’re divorced. It was such a big deal back then, your family was almost ruined. So your father-in-law’s fortune telling is absolutely accurate.”

Chen Manchun's words silenced everyone, and they remembered that Grandpa Xiao had strongly opposed Minmin marrying into that family, but Minmin later became pregnant out of wedlock and had no choice but to marry Jiajia's father.

Although three years have passed, Liu Yufen still vividly remembers her daughter's divorce case. Her whole family was almost sued and imprisoned by Jiajia's grandparents, and her son lost his battalion commander status and was no longer a soldier.

Back then, everyone in the village knew about their situation and laughed at them, which made Jiajia afraid to stay at home anymore. She still doesn't dare to come back. That's why Liu Yufen is so afraid of trouble happening at home again; she really doesn't want anything bad to happen to her family now. Especially her son's marriage—it needs to be taken very seriously. Yun Shu is a good person, but she's not suitable for her son; the two of them can't be together!

"Ah Kun, have you broken up with Yun Shu?" Liu Yufen finally broke the silence and brought it up first, looking at Ming Kun.

“Mom…” Mingkun looked at his mother with some frustration and disbelief.

"Please, your parents are begging you. I can tell that Yun Shu's family is no ordinary family. We can't afford to offend them. Besides, Yun Shu is destined to be apart from you. It would hurt you and her too. Ah Kun, for your own good and for hers, you two must separate!" Liu Yufen's blood pressure rose a little, and she hurriedly took out her blood pressure medication. Xiao Youmin saw this and quickly poured her some water.

When Mingkun saw that his mother's face had changed and she was taking medicine, he knew that her blood pressure had risen again. He couldn't upset her now; he could only try to communicate with her slowly later.

Yun Shu, who was outside, couldn't see inside. She only heard that after Ming Kun's mother finished speaking, Ming Kun didn't say anything more, and her heart sank. She was very disappointed and sad. It turned out that Ming Kun also approved of their breakup. She turned around and walked outside, taking the path to the stream that Ming Kun had pointed out earlier.

The scenery along this road was indeed beautiful, but Yun Shu had no mood to appreciate it at the moment. She walked to the stream and watched the clear water flow slowly into the distance. At this moment, she felt a pain in her heart, and the feelings she had for Ming Kun seemed to be slowly fading away.

She met a man she liked and thought her life would be better than her last. But it turns out they're not compatible and being together will only hurt Xiao Mingkun. What should she do? Mingkun didn't object after listening to his mother's words. Does that mean he agrees with her? Does he really want to break up with her?
