Fortune Teller Master

Chapter 53.1: Guo Zhongmeng Part 1

This man was called Guo Zhongmeng, he was in his 40s’.

Most men of this age lived a stable life, with have a car and a house, and have a stable career, so was Guo Zhongmeng. He was an employee of a state-owned enterprise. Although he doesn’t live a rich life, his income was stable and his child has just entered university. In the first half of this year, with his own effort, he bought a large house. They could live there by next year once the decoration was done.

Life was going well, but when his son came back from the holiday a few days ago, after going out to play with his classmates. He passed by a residential building and was hit by a flowerpot thrown out by the couple upstairs who were quarreling. Although his son was rushed to the hospital and the police confirmed the incident, his son was still unconscious until now. Guo Zhongmeng suffered a heavy blow.

When he met Fatty Wang that time, he just came out of the hospital. He guarded his son for two days and three nights. His family urged him to eat something, take a bath, and have some rest. However, he was in distress, so he looked for a roadside stall and ordered some beer and skewers to dispel his sorrow. When he was drinking, he said to himself that he wanted to ask for divination, which Fatty Wang happened to have heard.

Although Guo Zhongmeng was in a drunk state at that time, he remembered everything he had said to Fatty Wang. In fact, he said that he wanted to do divination for his son just to vent his frustration. When he woke up and thought about it, he hesitated. Should he really do divination?

His son was lying unconscious in the intensive care unit. The man who had thrown the flowerpot was still locked up at the police station. His family actively cooperated for him to come out early. The medical bills were paid on time. The couple need not worry about money for the time being. The two of them worry about their son’s life. How can a good child always get into trouble?

Guo Zhongmeng talked about this when he returned to the hospital to replace his wife. He asked his wife if she wanted to do the divination and see if there was any solution. Both of them were highly educated people and never believed this. But after hearing the elderly in the family saying, his son went out to play for a day on vacation. He met the couple fighting, his ten classmates were walking together, but he was hit in the head by a flowerpot. Wasn’t he a bit too unlucky?

Hearing Guo Zhongmeng said to go for fortune-telling, his wife didn’t say anything, she just asked him to watch out for people, don’t say everything, and see if the master was really capable or was simply a fake.

Guo Zhongmeng came according to the time mentioned by Fatty Wang. When he saw that this fortune-telling place was in a commercial and residential apartment, he felt uneasy. But when he came in, he saw the business license that had no bottom of any cultural company. He felt that this place doesn’t look like a fortune-telling place.

Fatty Wang has been setting up a stall for so many years, although his fortune-telling skill was not good. He was quite aware of the customer’s psychology. The Little Master’s reputation was on the line. He can’t please others just because he was kind and lose the little master’s face. Anyway, he said what he had to say, this person can stay or leave if he wanted to, he wouldn’t stop him.

After asking the people to sit on the sofa, and pouring a cup of freshly brewed tea, Fatty Wang said with a smile.

“The surname of our fortune-telling master is Lin. Although she is not very old, she is quite capable. You will know when you go in.”

Guo Zhongmeng’s heart slowly settled down after drinking the tea. Fatty Wang took this opportunity to say the price: “We are making an appointment for the people who want to line up for fortune-telling. There are already people lining up in three months. This time you are lucky. The Little Master asked me a few days ago that if I meet someone who really wants to do divination, I should bring the people here and it happened that I met you, in this case, you only need to pay 2500 yuan for divination.”

Guo Zhongmeng felt uneasy again after hearing this. He felt that this routine was familiar, more like a routine of a liar.

Fatty Wang didn’t get worried when he saw him put the cup down, he added cheerfully: “You can do the fortune-telling first and then pay the money after. If you feel like you don’t need to pay, we won’t say anything. You can go straight away. I will never stop you.”
