Chapter 107 The Fortune Teller of the "Jubilee Year" 2
"Is Boss Li teasing the new guy again?" "Of course, he's always the first one to get to know a new boss."
"Go away, you all talk too much. I'm just doing this to support Xiao Liu's business!" Boss Li said with a smile to the group of bosses.
"Hahaha!" Everyone was amused, just watching the spectacle. Of course, there was no malice intended; they just thought Liu Yuxi was too young and couldn't possibly have any real skills. Watching a spectacle is in the Chinese nature; there's really no way to change that.
Seeing that Mr. Li really intended to have his fortune told, Liu Yuxi didn't refuse anymore. "I wonder what kind of fortune telling Uncle Li would like to know?" Mr. Li paused for a moment, then said, "Little Liu, I don't really have anything specific I want to know. Just take a look!" He then handed over his right hand.
Well, they really look down on her skills! She rolled her eyes at Boss Li. "Left hand!" "Hahaha, wrong hand!" Boss Li said, pulling back her right hand and extending her left.
Liu Yuxi looked at the lines on his left hand and had a general idea of what was going on. Then she looked at his face. Everyone else thought, "To be honest, this young boss is putting on quite the airs."
At this moment, Liu Yuxi spoke up: "You were born in the year of Yiwei (1956), the Year of the Goat. You were born in Beijing. Your family was wealthy when you were young. You are the fourth of four siblings, with two older brothers and an older sister who is the oldest." Upon hearing this, Boss Li's expression gradually became serious.
"When you were ten years old, your family suffered a great change. Your parents passed away, and your siblings were separated. You lived with relatives in the countryside, but life was not peaceful in your relatives' home either. So you were used to the coldness of the world before you were 20 years old."
Hearing this, the other shop owners were quite surprised. After all, they had been setting up stalls here for years and knew each other pretty well. Old Li was the most easygoing, loved to joke, and was loyal. He was the most popular person on this street.
Sometimes when people have a minor disagreement, it's Old Li who steps in to mediate. Nobody expected that Old Li's background was so bumpy, and nobody really knew that Old Li wasn't a local.
However, judging from Old Li's expression, Boss Liu was right. "Hiss!" Another character has appeared on this street.
"After you turned 20, your life started to get better, especially in the early days of reform and opening up. You worked as a middleman for a few years and accumulated some assets."
You married at 24 and had a son. However, due to unresolved family matters, you left your money with your wife and spent many years traveling for work. It wasn't until ten years ago that you brought your wife and son to live with you in Jiangcheng.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li could hardly contain his excitement. His voice trembled slightly as he asked Liu Yuxi, "Then, I wonder if Mr. Liu can foresee the outcome of what I'm thinking?" His gaze was complex, filled with anticipation, worry, entanglement, and fear.
Liu Yuxi was quite straightforward: "I can tell, but then we'll have to cast a separate divination!" Upon hearing that he could tell, Boss Li's hands trembled as he pulled money out of his pocket, muttering, "I understand, I understand, it's only right!"
He first gave Liu Yuxi 100 yuan for the divination, and then asked, "How much does this divination cost?" "One hundred! Fixed price!" Boss Li hurriedly handed over another 100 yuan.
"Give me your eldest sister's birth date and time!" Mr. Li was a little worried at first, but when he heard Liu Yuxi's question, he immediately felt relieved and quickly replied: "April 19, 1946, 7:16 a.m.!" It was clear that he had consulted someone more than once, and the previous calculations may not have been very satisfactory!
Liu Yuxi did some quick calculations. Generally, only those with insufficient cultivation or swindlers who travel the world need props such as copper coins, tortoise shells, and yarrow stalks. However, Liu Yuxi doesn't need them. Do you think she lived for nearly three hundred years in vain?
From now on, they would all be neighbors on this street. Liu Yuxi didn't use any jargon to fool Boss Li. She told him directly, "Your eldest sister is fine, but she suffered a lot during those ten years. She became unable to walk properly as early as fifteen years ago. But there's nothing else to worry about. She has two children, who are very filial, and she lives a comfortable life."
Mr. Li's expression changed with Liu Yuxi's words. He was happy to hear that his elder sister was still alive, and saddened to hear that she was unable to walk.
The surrounding business owners held their breath and watched intently as soon as Mr. Li took out his money.
"Then, where is my eldest sister?" Mr. Li asked with difficulty. Liu Yuxi then calculated with her fingers, "There's a newly built Happiness Community about five miles from here, building 3, unit 102. Your eldest sister lives there!"
"Holy crap!" A gasp broke the atmosphere, and everyone looked at the vendor who had exclaimed. It was a young man selling porcelain replicas who had only been setting up his stall for two or three years. Everyone called him "Little Yellow Boss" because he always had yellow hair and said that no one else understood fashion.
The blond-haired man ran up to Mr. Li in a few steps and excitedly grabbed Mr. Li's sleeve: "Brother Li, Brother Li, I live in Happiness Community, Building 3, Unit 101. My neighbor across the hall, Aunt Li, does indeed use a wheelchair, and she does have a son and a daughter!"
As Huang Mao spoke, he scrutinized Boss Li's face, muttering to himself, "You know what, looking at them like this, Brother Li and Aunt Li do look a bit alike. Hey? No wonder I felt Brother Li looked familiar as soon as I arrived here. Aunt Li's eldest son, Wang Nianping, is looking more and more like Brother Li. This is what they mean by nephews resembling their uncles!"
Listening to his rambling, Boss Li was also very excited. He grabbed Huang Mao's hand and said, "Little Huang, can you take me to your house now?" Seeing Brother Li's expression that said, "If you don't agree, I'll cry," Little Huang swallowed.
"Okay, Brother Li, don't get excited. Let's pack up the stall and then I'll take you home." A group of people said, "Xiao Huang, we'll help you pack up the stall and leave it at Boss Wang's shop later. You two go ahead!"
"Yes, we'll take it. Don't waste your time!" Boss Wang chimed in, "Once they've finished taking it, I'll put the goods in my shop. Don't worry, nothing will get lost!"
The group of people also wanted to know what would happen next, so they urged Huang Mao to take Boss Li away quickly. Boss Li said to Liu Yuxi, "Young Boss Liu, I'll go first today. If it's confirmed, I'll thank you again tomorrow!"
Liu Yuxi waved his hand: "No need, you go ahead and do your work. The divination fee has already been paid, it's not necessary!"
Boss Li followed Huang Mao away, while the remaining boss helped them pack up their stall, all the while secretly glancing at Liu Yuxi.
They whispered among themselves, "If he's right, our street will have a real genius!" "That's right, look at Old Li's expression, he's probably right!" "Look at that young Boss Liu, he didn't even bring anything when he was calculating!" "That shows he's really skilled, his knowledge is profound!"
Liu Yuxi didn't want to stay there as a monkey either. After a while, they got used to it and simply packed up and went home.
