Li Qin sighed as she looked at the child who grew taller.
This house was not like a home after all. Now she only hoped that his son would find a wife as soon as possible, who would give birth to a fat boy for her. Otherwise, she would not rest in peace even after death without seeing her grandson.
She recently began to believe in ghosts and G.o.ds, and would go to a temple in Ye City every week to burn incense and wors.h.i.+p Buddha. She always felt that everything was sour for Mo family over recent years. First, her husband, Mo Xuming died of illness, next his son went through a bad marriage, then her heart attack recurred, and in addition, her son married a b.i.t.c.h like Xia Yuwei who gave birth to a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. All of the sufferings of this family symbolized misfortune and adversity.
Coming to the temple, Li Qin, with the help of Wu Xiaomin, carefully walked up to a G.o.d. She held her hands together, murmuring something, as if asking for G.o.d’s blessing.
Then she took out 20,000 yuan from her handbag, donating it to the temple as incense money.
The one in charge of the temple was an old man who was nearly seventy years old. Seeing someone donating so much money, he held Li Qin’s hands excitedly, repeatedly expressing thanks.
Nowadays, many young people were no longer in awe of G.o.ds, so fewer and fewer people came to the temple to draw divination sticks and wors.h.i.+p G.o.ds. Their temple was the most famous and the most spiritual one in Ye City, thus somewhat popular.
“You’re welcome. I should do this.” Li Qin nodded to the old man. They Mo family was rich, so she didn’t care the 20,000 yuan at all. Besides, she came here to beg for G.o.d’s blessing. She hoped that G.o.d could help the Mo family progress smoothly without any trouble or setbacks and help her son work well and stay safe.
Li Qin asked Wu Xiaomin to help her burn several joss sticks and then burn a lot of paper money. She got better during this period of time, which, she thought, must have something to do with her persistent weekly wors.h.i.+ps to G.o.ds. It must be the G.o.d who was protecting her.
So she would come here more often to burn incense in the future.
“Well, Xiaomin, let’s go. We will come here again next week.” Li Qin asked Wu Xiaomin to help hold herself. The driver was waiting outside. After all, it was time for them to go back after coming out so long.
She only walked a few steps away, then came an old man’s voice from behind.
“Practising divination and fortune-telling, helping figure out doubts. Free for predestined people.”
Li Qin was stunned. Looking back, she found it was an old man in his seventies, holding a flag in his hand which said “fortune-telling”. The old man seemed to be a blind man, his eyes closed slightly, from which one could see a trace of whiteness.
The man in charge of the temple came up and said to Li Qin, “Madam, this is the fortune-teller of our temple. Many people come here to ask him to practise divination. Do you think you have this need?”
Li Qin asked Wu Xiaomin to help herself turn around. She used to believe in fortune telling before. She had also turned to some so-called fortune-tellers before, who, however, unable to foretell anything, simply talked nonsense. They all said something flattering, which were not accurate at all. Was this man a real fortune-teller?
Li Qin was a little skeptical.
Wu Xiaomin, beside her, was very curious. She had never tried fortune-telling, simply thinking it was interesting.
“Madam, how about letting him perform the fortune-telling? It does not cost much anyway. You see, only 50 yuan once.” Wu Xiaomin said, kind of excited. She planned to ask the fortune-teller to foretell something about her later to see when she would have the luck in love affairs and meet her Mr. Right.
Li Qin nodded and said, “OK, let’s have a try.”
Saying so, she sat in front of the fortune-teller.
