Chapter 241 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 26
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao..."
As soon as Zhao Honglian arrived at the door, she got off the motorcycle carrying large and small bags.
Lu Xiaobao, who was playing in the yard, rushed out after hearing the car.
"Mommy--Mommy--!"
"Hey!"
Zhao Honglian put down her bundle, picked up her son, and kissed him repeatedly.
Then she opened the bundle, took out the newly bought clothes and held them up against her son, and finally took out a toy car for him.
Lu Xiaobao immediately got excited, grabbed the toy car, and went off to play, shouting loudly.
Aunt Qi watched with a smile from under the eaves.
Zhao Honglian then took out a brand-new shirt from her bag and handed it to her mother-in-law.
"Mom, I bought you a dress. Try it on and see if it fits."
"Why are you giving this to me? I'm too old to wear this. The color is too bright."
Aunt Qi took it, her eyes and eyebrows full of smiles, but she still said with disdain.
“Why can’t I wear it? I see old ladies in the city all dress like this.”
"Yes, Mom, try it on. This is Honglian's thoughtfulness."
After Lu Tiezhu set up his motorcycle, he went inside and said with a smile.
Aunt Qi then beamed and went into the inner room to try on clothes.
Zhao Honglian first washed up, then picked vegetables while thinking about how to talk to Lu Yingniang, that big liar.
She couldn't just run off and say, "Your daughter Lu Xiaoxiao is going to be killed tonight."
If she dared to say that, Lu Yingniang and her husband would definitely beat her out.
Whether in her past life or this one, she could clearly see how much that couple cherished that little girl.
They were treated like precious treasures, so pampered they were afraid they would melt in their mouths or break in their hands.
Just thinking about their past life, after the little girl died, the couple resolutely refused to bury her.
They dug a hole under the house, and then went on to summon Lu Xiaoxiao's spirit and try to revive her. They were capable of doing such crazy things.
It's easy to imagine how much this girl meant to them.
Just thinking about it gives me the creeps!
"Mom, has anything happened in our village lately?"
Zhao Honglian decided to inquire about Lu Yingniang first.
In her past life, Lu Xiaoxiao died a terrible death; the scene was horrific.
Several police officers turned pale and vomited after seeing it.
The villagers all say that Lu Yingniang offended someone, and that person hated her so much that they killed her in revenge.
Unable to find the two adults, they tortured and killed Lu Xiaoxiao.
Later, because of Lu Xiaoxiao's death, the entire town's police station, from the station chief to the ordinary police officers, was investigated.
The deputy director was sentenced to three years in prison, the on-duty police officer was sentenced to two years, and all other police officers in the station were punished to varying degrees.
Later everyone found out that it was because the couple was in detention.
They kept pleading, saying they had children at home and begged to let one of them go back to take care of them.
Even if you can't release them, at least notify the villagers and ask them to help take care of them.
Unfortunately, the police officers on duty at the time were extremely disgusted by Lu Yingniang and her husband's long-term involvement in feudal superstitious activities.
I didn't take it seriously, just wrote it down, and forgot to report it to my supervisor afterwards.
This ultimately led to the tragedy.
There are many things happening in the village, but Yingniang is the most important.
Not long after you left last time, a group of Taoist priests arrived.
One of the Taoist priests was the same one who had freeloaded at the village chief's house last time.
This time, they bought ten talismans directly from Yingniang. Guess how much they spent?
"How many?"
Lu Tiezhu asked curiously, now he admired his cousin from the same clan to the extreme.
"Each ticket cost 1,000 yuan. I bought ten tickets, which cost a total of 10,000 yuan."
"Holy crap---!"
Lu Tiezhu exclaimed in surprise, his mouth agape.
"what?"
Zhao Honglian glared angrily. Good heavens, this big liar, she really dares to do that!
Is this person getting bolder and bolder than in their previous life?
"And then what happened?!"
Zhao Honglian hurriedly pressed for an answer.
When this group realized they had been tricked, didn't they go after Lu Yingniang?
"Later, everyone went crazy buying them; so many people in the village were scrambling to buy them."
However, Yingniang is very kind; for us villagers, it's still the same old price, five yuan a piece.
Many people have become resellers, selling the talismans at high prices to people outside who are seeking them.
I can make a lot of money during this time. Hehe!
"Mom, you didn't get involved in this too, did you?!"
Lu Tiezhu stared at his mother in disbelief.
Aunt Qi waved her hand sheepishly, and after a long pause, she said:
"Not much, just over a thousand..."
"what?"
The couple exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.
They do odd jobs in the county town, and together they only make three or four hundred yuan a month.
But that's already quite a lot; it's much higher than the salary I get at my workplace.
The couple was very satisfied and proud.
Unexpectedly, my mother made over a thousand yuan easily by working as a secondhand dealer at home.
How can this be justified?
“Mine is still small. Old Wang from the east end of the village is much more ruthless! She’s already earned five or six thousand.”
Aunt Qi said somewhat indignantly.
"......"
The couple were stunned and speechless upon hearing this.
"Then, Mom, what about now?"
Lu Tiezhu's eyes lit up, and he instantly had an idea.
If he can make so much money, why is he still working in the county town?
I might as well go back to the village and resell the secondhand talismans.
It's easy and profitable.
Zhao Honglian opened and closed her mouth repeatedly; it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted, but she knew Lu Yingniang's ultimate fate.
This matter will be exposed sooner or later, and then there will definitely be endless disputes and trouble!
"Now?! Not now."
Some people are just outrageous.
He secretly drew talismans at home, imitating Yingniang's, and then pretended they were Yingniang's talismans to others.
When Yingniang found out, she got angry and now she's limiting sales, selling only three peace charms a month.
The villagers regretted it, but it was no use; they had all gone too far.
The village chief has spoken up, telling everyone not to make things difficult for Yingniang.
Putting everything else aside, there's a long queue of people waiting to get things done by Yingniang!
Many tourists from other places come here.
When you came back, didn't you see that the road leading to Yingniang's house had turned into a food street?
The couple stared at each other for a moment, then nodded.
That's right, they were just wondering why there were so many outsiders in the village.
I thought something had happened in the village!
"The village chief said that these people have come and rented houses, eaten, and bought things. All these benefits were brought by Yingniang."
Although it doesn't make as much money as reselling secondhand talismans as before, it's a steady stream of income!
People can weave bamboo baskets and straw hats to sell as handicrafts.
Besides, to put it bluntly, that whole thing was just everyone sucking Yingniang's blood.
Lu Tiezhu nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes! That's certainly true."
Yingniang can sell talismans at high prices; that's her own skill.
At first, no one said anything, and everyone was allowed to resell the goods. It was only because some people went too far that people got angry.
This is already quite generous of them.
Lu Tiezhu lowered his head, feeling ashamed of his earlier thoughts.
Aunt Qi kept talking and recounted the story of the girl who bravely fought off the bandits on the train.
Finally, he said mysteriously:
"Now, not only ordinary people, but also prominent figures in the Six Doors are sending people to buy talismans. Even the police station in our town is buying them!"
Anyway, Yingniang is incredibly capable now!
Lu Tiezhu nodded repeatedly, not surprised at all.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Honglian clenched her fists angrily, her resolve crumbling once again.
