Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Closing the Stall
Facing everyone's skepticism, Zhong Niangyao wasn't upset. She simply smiled slightly, looked at Aunt Wu, and said, "Elder lady, take this talisman back and let your daughter-in-law wear it. As for the money for this talisman paper, you don't need to pay it yet."
Hearing that she didn't need to pay right now, Aunt Wu was even more puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"Just take it back for now." Zhong Niangyao's lips curled into a meaningful smile, "Make sure your daughter-in-law always wears it. As for the money for the talisman paper, when the time comes, you will naturally bring it to me yourself."
After saying this, she continued to pass the talisman paper to Aunt Wu. "Remember what I said, let your daughter-in-law, no matter when, never take it off."
Although she didn't really understand what was going on, since the other party said no money was needed now, there was nothing wrong with her taking it, right?
As for what the other party mentioned about when the time comes, she didn't take it to heart. After all, if someday she didn't bring the money to the other party, nobody could say anything about it.
Aunt Wu took the talisman paper, left US$ 100, and was ready to leave.
However, just as she was about to leave, she heard Zhong Niangyao's voice again.
"Elder lady, when the time comes, remember to bring the money for the talisman paper back!" Zhong Niangyao's voice was calm, "Cause and effect, cause and effect. If you pretend to be ignorant then, I can't guarantee what the outcome will be."
With a heart full of doubts, Aunt Wu left Tongtian Bridge.
Although Zhong Niangyao's exorbitantly priced talisman paper seemed somewhat daunting, the continuous accuracy of two fortunes had started to sway the people around.
Just as they were about to take action, they saw Zhong Niangyao getting up and beginning to pack up her things.
"Hey, hey, young lady, are you leaving?" an elder lady stepped forward to stop Zhong Niangyao, "Why close up shop so early? Stay a while longer! Actually, young lady, I also wanted to get a reading from you."
After witnessing the earlier individuals, she had come to really admire this young lady's abilities, especially since her family had been facing numerous troubles lately, which was why she was there.
She had tried other fortune tellers, but found them to be frauds. Although this young lady was young, she truly had genuine skills.
Initially, she had been somewhat hesitant, but now seeing Zhong Niangyao beginning to pack up, she became anxious and hurried forward, trying to stop her.
Zhong Niangyao shook her head and then pointed to the sign she had already put away, "I only do three readings; I'm already fully booked for today."
After saying that, she planned to leave.
"No!" the elder lady stepped forward, blocking Zhong Niangyao's path, "It won't take much time, just read my fortune first! It won't delay you."
"No." Zhong Niangyao shook her head, speaking sternly, "I cannot break my own rules. If you really want a reading, you'll have to come early next time!"
After saying this, she tried to bypass the elder lady and leave.
"No, please!" the elder lady was desperate, "Considering my age, please just do this favor for me!"
Zhong Niangyao didn't say anything, just glanced calmly at the elder lady.
That look was devoid of any fluctuation or warmth, yet it made the elder lady suddenly freeze on the spot.
Despite just being a young girl, beneath those unexcited eyes, the elder lady felt as if her blood had instantly turned cold, and she found herself unable to say anything.
Zhong Niangyao slowly withdrew her gaze and then walked away.
It wasn't just that elder lady, none of those eagerly wanting to step forward for a reading made any move to stop her.
It was only after Zhong Niangyao's figure had disappeared from everyone's sight that people slowly breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know why, but just now, they hadn't felt the slightest urge to stop her.
In the following days, after school, Zhong Niangyao obediently returned to the Zhong Family and didn't linger outside for long.
Therefore, she naturally didn't go to Tongtian Bridge.
However, in school, she gained a new follower. This follower was none other than Zhao Xuanglang, whose Life Chart had been swapped before.
Having had his own Life Chart restored, Zhao Xuanglang had been living a carefree life these past days.
Before, due to his extreme misfortune, he even had to be cautious while walking or drinking water, fearing any accidents.
Now, he could confidently live his life. He even went to get his driving license.
In the past, even riding in a car, he feared accidents, let alone driving one himself. Now that his unlucky days were behind him, he naturally planned to drive himself.
Moreover, his dad had also promised to buy him a car.
All thanks to Zhong Niangyao's kindness, he could live so freely and was naturally deeply grateful to Zhong Niangyao.
