Chapter 70, Three Hexagrams to Calm the Mind
"My sister-in-law really hit the nail on the head!"
Ye Yingzi grinned and praised him in a slightly exaggerated manner.
Not only Ye Yingzi, but Aunt Xiao's attitude towards Long Nier was also quite intriguing.
I think this is mostly related to Long Ni'er's ability to use witchcraft.
If Long Nier were an ordinary girl, how could these two, especially Ye Yingzi, have been so patient in answering her questions and praising her so much?
The meal lasted until after 3 p.m. Ye Yingzi and Aunt Xiao wanted to have another round, but I declined, saying I was tired.
It's obvious that the next thing these two will do is play mahjong.
One thing I have to admit is that when these two get hooked on mahjong, they can sometimes play for a whole day and night.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to the clinic.
Upon arriving at the clinic, Fatty Lin led Long Nier to identify the people there.
From the first floor to the second floor, more than a dozen employees, along with two customers getting massages on the second floor, all knew that I, the big boss of the clinic, had a girlfriend.
Unfortunately, I couldn't say anything. Fatty Lin was the second-in-command of the clinic, and he introduced everything as we walked, giving me no chance to refute him. Long Nier certainly wouldn't say no either!
By doing this, the two of them solidified their relationship.
"Sister-in-law, come here. Look, the third floor is our private little haven. It has a bedroom, a study, a pharmacy, and even a shrine to our ancestors. Even if you come over, the three of us can fit in!"
After arriving on the third floor, Fatty Lin led Long Nier to tour each room.
Upon arriving at the Ancestral Master's room, Fatty Lin led Long Nier to offer incense to the Ancestral Master and said, "Sister-in-law, there are some things that I admit are useless; we have to see if the Ancestral Master agrees. Come, kneel down and see what the Ancestral Master's opinion is!"
As he spoke, Fatty Lin handed the ox horn divination stick to Long Nier.
Long Nier understood immediately upon seeing the bull horn. Without any hesitation, she knelt before the statue of the ancestral master, respectfully kowtowed three times, and then threw the bull horn.
"Yes, it's a sacred hexagram! The ancestral master has agreed! Sister-in-law, you can continue casting!"
Looking at the two bull horns, one upright and one inverted, Fatty Lin clapped his hands.
"Um!"
Long Nier nodded, picked up the two pieces of the ox horn, kowtowed three times to the ancestor, stood up and silently recited for a moment before throwing the ox horn again.
"Another auspicious hexagram! Sisters-in-law, continue casting!"
Looking at the two cow horns, Fatty Lin became even more excited.
A look of joy appeared on Long Nier's face. She let out a soft breath and, just like before, kowtowed first and then threw the ox horn.
The ox horn made a crisp sound on the ground, and the result was the same as the previous two times: a positive hexagram.
"Thank you, Master!"
Seeing this result, Long Nier kowtowed three more times without thinking.
"Crazy, just give in! Even the patriarch has agreed!" Fatty Lin grinned and put his arm around my shoulder.
"What's wrong with you?"
I glanced at Long Nier, who was clasped in prayer before the statue of the ancestral master, seemingly making some wish. I grabbed Fatty Lin and pulled him away, shouting in a low voice, "Fatty, what exactly do you want? Don't you know what happened with the curse she cast on me back then?"
"You lunatic, I'm just asking you one thing. If you don't agree, do you think you can just run away?" Fatty Lin asked calmly.
I opened my mouth, wanting to say that I could hide, but based on my understanding of Miao women, especially those who use Gu poison, I knew I couldn't hide.
Unless one of us dies, we'll never be separated in this lifetime.
It's also my own fault for insisting on writing about a thirteen-life marriage.
Previously, when I saw Long Nier take out that headshot that she had kept for more than ten years at Liu Mochou's place, I knew that my life was over.
Regardless of whether she was the one who poisoned me before, she will never let me go.
"There's no way to avoid it, is there?"
Fatty Lin snorted and said, "You lunatic, your wife is so beautiful! If I had a wife like that, I'd be overjoyed!"
"Besides, there's a saying that goes something like this: life is like... well, you can't resist it, so you just enjoy it. What you need to do now is enjoy it!"
He paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, give me your Kongmei.com account and password. Now that you have a sister-in-law, you should watch less of that kind of inappropriate content. As your older brother, I can't just watch you go astray and indulge yourself!"
"Get lost, you fucking gloating!" I elbowed him.
"Damn, are you serious?"
Fatty Lin hissed in pain, tightened his grip on my neck, and tried to get revenge.
"What's this 'AirUS website'?"
Just then, Long Nier's voice rang in our ears.
"Kongmei.com is an online platform dedicated to promoting culture and art!" I subconsciously recited the self-aggrandizing words of Boss Shi.
"Yeah?"
Long Nier's gaze swept back and forth between the two of us twice, and she clearly did not believe what I said.
"Really, you can search it online if you don't believe me!" I said.
"By the way, Ni'er, you still haven't told me how Deng Wenwen found you, and how you've been doing all these years!"
Before Long Nier could react, I changed the subject.
"I'm a teacher at the elementary school in our town. If you want to find me, it's very easy!" Long Nier said, staring into my eyes.
"Really? Hehe!"
I felt uneasy under her gaze, and gave an awkward laugh. The other implication in her words was that I hadn't contacted her even once in all these years.
"Brother, let bygones be bygones. We've reunited now, haven't we?"
The next moment, Long Nier smiled again.
Her behavior reminds me of how she manipulated things at Rong Ge's villa.
I have a feeling that this might really be how my life will be.
Just as I was feeling awkward, my phone rang.
"Oh dear, someone's calling!"
I frantically pulled out my phone as if I had grasped at a lifeline.
"President Yang?"
After glancing at it, I gestured to Long Nier and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Feng, what are you busy with?"
After the call connected, Mr. Yang's voice, tinged with a hint of teasing, came through.
"Nothing much, just got back from Hong Kong Island!"
I glanced at Long Nier and said, while praying that President Yang wouldn't say anything inappropriate.
"It's fine as long as it's in Beijing, I'll introduce you to a job!" said General Manager Yang.
"What kind of work?"
I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that I was alive.
"Your family's Jack Feng is good at this!" said Boss Yang.
"His health? Is he having a physical problem or a mental problem?" I asked.
"It's not him, it's his son!" Mr. Yang said.
"What's wrong with his son? Is he possessed by an evil spirit?" I asked.
"It seems to be cancer, and the situation is very bad. After hearing about your case, I'm desperate and want to ask you to take a look!" said Mr. Yang.
"Brother, I can't cure cancer!" I said with a bitter smile, even my way of addressing him had changed.
"Xiao Feng, this situation is a bit special. It's not Jack who's contacting me, it's his wife. It seems like there are some mystical factors involved in his son's matter!" President Yang said after thinking for a moment.
"Then ask her when she'll have time to bring the child to my place, and I'll take a look at him!" I said.
"Okay, I'll give her your phone number and let her contact you herself!" said Mr. Yang.
"OK!"
I nodded, said a few words briefly, and hung up the phone.
