What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

Chapter 158 Crowdfunding Fortune Telling

Not long after Yan Bugui and his friends left, Auntie came back from the hospital with a heavy heart. She looked tired and her eyes were full of worry.

At this time, the yard was very lively.

Everyone held their bowls and sat in the yard, eating while enthusiastically discussing what had happened in the yard in the past few days.

Seeing the old lady coming back, several gossipy old ladies immediately surrounded her.

"Auntie, you must have just come back from the hospital, right? How is Shazhu injured? Is it serious?" An old lady holding a bowl in her hand asked anxiously, her face full of curiosity.

"Yes, Auntie. Please tell us quickly, this idiot Zhu won't die, right?" Another tall and thin auntie followed up with a nervous look in her eyes.

"Yes! Our eldest son is planning to get married. What should we do if someone dies in the yard?" An old lady wearing a flowery cotton jacket with patches all over her clothes said with a frown and a worried look on her face.

There was also a superstitious auntie who said suspiciously, "What do you think? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Feng Shui of our yard? Otherwise, why do we have so many problems in our yard recently?"

After that, she discussed with the aunties next to her: "How about, when Uncle Three comes back later, we should go and talk to him. Should we find a fortune teller to come over and do some interpretation to get rid of the bad luck?"

When these words were spoken, the birds began to panic.

Suddenly, the yard was in an uproar, and everyone started talking at once.

"Eh... now that you mention it, it does look a bit like them!" An old lady nodded and said thoughtfully.

"Tsk, I told you last time that there's something wrong with the feng shui in our yard, and you accused me of being superstitious." Another middle-aged woman pouted and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Yeah, it seems like we really need to find someone to come and take a look. Otherwise, we won't have peace in our yard anymore." A gray-haired middle-aged woman said worriedly.

The aunt was already in a bad mood because of Sha Zhu's matter and was planning to go home to get some quiet time.

But when I heard what everyone said, I started to have some ideas in my mind.

She thought: Yes, there is something strange going on during this period. First, the deaf old lady in the courtyard suddenly got dysentery, then Yi Zhonghai had an accident, then Bang Geng became a eunuch, and now Sha Zhu also had an accident.

The more Auntie thought about it, the more panicked she became. She was no longer in a hurry to go home and planned to go to Yan Bugui's house with everyone later to see if they could come up with any good ideas.

After a while.

Yan Bugui and his companions had just returned from the police station.

The second aunt kept wiping her tears and sobbing.

As soon as the people in the yard saw Yan Bugui coming back, they immediately surrounded him like a group of flies seeing shit.

Everyone was talking at once, with everyone talking non-stop.

"Third Uncle, you are finally back. Accidents keep happening in our yard. It must be because of bad feng shui. Please come up with some ideas!"

"Yes, Third Uncle, what do you think we should do? There is something wrong with this yard recently."

"Uncle, you have to come up with a plan quickly. We can't let this keep causing trouble!"

……

The beasts chattered non-stop, urging Yan Bugui to come up with a plan quickly.

As an elementary school teacher, Yan Bugui always behaves like an educated person and never believes in these weird things.

But after being bombarded by everyone like this, I suddenly felt very panicked.

I couldn't help but think: Yes, two of the three uncles in charge of this courtyard have already had accidents. As the third uncle in the courtyard, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before I am in trouble.

No, I'm not a grandfather yet.

I haven't enjoyed any benefits yet. If something goes wrong, I will really lose a lot.

When he thought of this, Yan Bugui felt extremely heartbroken.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Bugui agreed to everyone's request.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem. Since everyone is asking for this, I will ask a fortune teller to come and take a look tomorrow. However, I have to say in advance that this is just to give you peace of mind, and it may not really solve the problem. Don't hold your hopes too high!"

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, everyone nodded in agreement as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Then, they began to discuss what they would do when the fortune teller came tomorrow, and whether the bad luck in the yard could be eliminated. The whole yard was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.

Yan Bugui became anxious when he saw that everyone was discussing the matter enthusiastically but no one was willing to contribute money.

Hey, these people actually want to get Yan Bugui's favor for free, are they still asleep?

He immediately raised his voice and said loudly: "Everyone, stop for a moment. It costs money to find a fortune teller. Let's discuss how to pay for it!"

As soon as the beasts heard the word "pay", they fell silent.

Everyone just stared at Yan Bugui, as if waiting for him to come up with a solution that didn't cost any money.

When Yan Bugui saw that no one wanted to contribute money, he got very angry.

He cursed inwardly: I am so poor that I want to spend every penny I have. How can I possibly pay this much? It would be better to kill me with a knife.

He said quickly, "Well, since this is about the matter in the yard, everyone should contribute thirty or fifty cents each, and we should collect the money quickly. As soon as the money is in, I will find a fortune teller early tomorrow morning, and have him come to our yard to take a good look at it in the evening."

When the people in the yard heard that they had to contribute money, they were reluctant, but they also wanted to get rid of the bad luck in the yard as soon as possible, so they had no choice but to raise funds through crowdfunding.

Seeing how stingy everyone was, an old lady was afraid that Yan Bugui would find someone unreliable because they didn't have enough money, so she generously paid 2 yuan.

but.

This is just the money raised.

Someone murmured, "Third Uncle, you said that we are doing this for the courtyard's affairs, and everyone has contributed money now. Shouldn't the Jia family and Yan Xiaoyao's family also contribute?"

Upon hearing this, the other beasts immediately followed suit.

"Yes, everyone has contributed money. If the two families don't contribute, that won't work."

"That's right, they are also part of this courtyard, so they must have a share as well!"

"Uncle, you should go and collect the money from both families, or no one will be happy."

……

Yan Bugui was counting the banknotes and spitting, and when he saw that everyone had collected almost 10 yuan, he was so happy that his mouth was about to split.

I thought happily: Hehe, tomorrow I have to bargain with Blind Zhang for a good price, just give him one or two yuan. Then the rest will be mine, and I can buy a lot more sweet potatoes. Haha...

I was feeling happy when I was suddenly awakened by what everyone said.

What the hell?

Let me go to Yan Xiaoyao's house and ask him for money to find a fortune teller?

Are you guys tired of me living?

I just left his house and he reported me for being superstitious...

Yan Bugui interrupted quickly, "Forget it, let's not meddle in other people's business. You all know Yan Xiaoyao's character. Don't let him not only fail to get the money, but also report us for feudal superstition."

Don’t let him send all of us to jail before we’ve even finished dealing with the Feng Shui issue.”

Upon hearing this.

The beasts also thought that Yan Xiaoyao's personality had changed drastically, and he might really send this group of people to jail as the third uncle said, so they fell silent instantly.

But then.

Another old woman said unwillingly, "If that's the case, forget about Yan Xiaoyao's family, but the Jia family can't not pay, right? You know, Bang Geng is still in the hospital. Finding someone to do the decoction will also be good for her family!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he hesitated.

After Bang Geng's accident, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu went to the hospital to take care of him, leaving only two children and a cousin from the countryside. And according to the third aunt, Qin Jingru actually had the key to Yan Xiaoyao's house on the day Bang Geng's accident happened, so I'm afraid they are not simple.

Yan Bugui didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he could only persuade them: "If you ask me, just forget it. There are only two children and a relative from the countryside left in her family. How can we have the nerve to ask them for money?

Besides, even if Jia Zhang is at home, can we get the money?"

"We have almost enough money here. I will bargain with Blind Zhang tomorrow and ask him to help us do the job better. Let's not cause any more trouble."

After hearing this, the beasts also looked helpless.

Indeed, the remaining two families are not easy to deal with, so we can only give up.

The most urgent thing now is to ask a fortune teller to come and give an interpretation, otherwise I will be very panicked, fearing that I will be the next lucky person.
