Chapter: 2794
All along, Leaf Chen only knew his mother as a person who was a wife and a mother, without knowing what she was like on another side. Now, through Ha'er Jiang's introduction, he finally could let his mother's image in memory become more vivid.
After eating for over an hour, Ha'er Jiang continued to narrate the stories of Leaf Chen's mother from years ago, while Leaf Chen listened with great interest, even wanting to sit there all day without leaving.
Ha'er Jiang's voice was smoking hot, and looking at the time, it wasn't early anymore. He then took a sip of water and said: "Hey, about your mother's past experiences, that's something that can take several months to tell, so I'll just stop here for today and let you have some rest in the afternoon."
Leaf Chen listened to this and hurriedly said: "Okay, Ha'er Jiang, then I won't disturb your work later.
Ha'er Jiang nodded and admonished him: "Be sure to pay attention to the situation at Qiou's place. As soon as there is any news from that side, don't matter how late it is, you should notify me immediately. Please take care of this for me."
Leaf Chen agreed without hesitation: "Ha'er Jiang, rest assured, I'll let you know as soon as there is any news!
Ha'er Jiang then said: "That's asking a lot from you."
"Wait until the two of you leave the hotel, Ha'er Jiang asked Leaf Chen: 'Leaf Chen, what's your plan for this afternoon?'
Leaf Chen said: 'I'm going to visit the White Gold Han Palace and meet someone.'"
"I intend to go to the White Gold Han Palace to see Chen Zhecai. Since Su Chengfeng wants to take care of himself now, he must definitely have other tricks up his sleeve. I need to prepare ahead of time and find an opportunity to crush him before trouble arises. Many places still require cooperation from Chen Zhecai."
"Ha'er Jiang didn't think too much about it and said: 'Then I'll go back to school first. Let's keep in touch!'"
"It's okay, Uncle Ha'er.""
Just as Ha'er Jiang was about to leave, he suddenly caught sight of a small fortune-telling stall nearby on the street.
Kunling is an ancient city itself, and people here are generally accustomed to seeking divination. Therefore, there are many fortune tellers at street corners and alleyways."
If it's springtime when flowers bloom, in any old town district, you can find a fortune-teller every ten steps along the road."
"Besides, there are many diviners waiting at home for customers to come in."
These types of diviners usually use the so-called "inviting spirits" to help people see omens and calculate fortune, sometimes also helping people exorcise evil spirits.
This type of diviner does most of their work by exorcising evil from children.
Old folks believe that if children see unclean things, they'll be scared out of their wits and cry uncontrollably, so they need to find a diviner to take a look.
Generally speaking, young people don't believe in such things, including some old intellectuals who also dismiss them with contempt.
Ha'er Jiang used to be this way too.
He had spent many years abroad, saying he didn't believe in feudal superstition at all. However, today his right eye kept twitching, and his daughter was participating in a military action with the Syrian government army, so he was really worried inside, which made him suddenly want to calculate his fortune.
So, he told Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, if you have anything to attend to, please take care of it first. I'll go take a look over there."
Ye Chen saw that Ha'er Jiang's gaze was pointing in the direction of the fortune-telling stall, so he asked: "Ha'er Uncle, are you going to find someone to calculate your fortune?"
Ha'er Jiang nodded slightly and sighed: "Ah, now I know why everyone has religious beliefs. It's definitely because when one is as helpless as I am now, they don't know what to do and can only pin their hopes on religion or feudal superstition, mainly seeking psychological comfort." JrNovels.com
