Novel Bin Chapter 67.5: Zheng Family Part 5
Seeing the room finally fell into silence, Bai Juan couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief and quickly apologized to Lin Qingyin: “I’m really sorry, Little Master. I didn’t expect the situation to become like this.”
“It’s okay!” Lin Qingyin smiled: “You are just trying to make a name for me.”
The woman standing next to Bai Juan was in her 30s. Her name was Ma Rui. She has a pretty face, but her face looked very haggard.
Lin Qingyin raised her eyes and glanced at her with a serious expression: “Your Dragon Palace is obscure, and the traitorous door is partially sunken. Are you here for your daughter?”
Ma Rui’s heart skipped a bit, but then nodded her head: “I did come for my daughter. Are you really a fortune-telling master?” She looked at Lin Qingyin a little nervously and her voice slightly trembled: “My daughter has been a little strange recently. I took her to the provincial hospital in the city, and also invited several masters nearby. I’ve already tried many rituals and talismans, but still, none of them works.”
As she said, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes: “I know it’s impolite, but I still want to ask, are you really a fortune-telling master? To tell the truth, I have spent all my family’s savings when I took my child to the hospital. The 3,000 yuan left in my pocket is lent to me by my relatives yesterday. So please, don’t lie to me!”
Lin Qingyin looked at her and smiled: “Don’t worry, I won’t lie to you. I think you have clear and bright eyes, and you are a kind-hearted person. I’ll give you divination, count it as my gift to you. I won’t charge you money.”
Ma Rui glanced at Bai Juan with a surprised look on her face and a little uneasy: “Can it really be like this? Isn’t it bad?”
“It’s okay. I do divination based on my feelings. I wanted to give you divination for free because you are a kind-hearted person and because you really have no money. What’s more, you already lost a son, this daughter of yours, will be your only child.” Lin Qingyin took out the carving knife and began to carve the talisman on the stone in her hand: “Go and bring your daughter here.”
Tears suddenly appeared in Ma Rui’s eyes. She did have a son when she and her husband were working outside. At that time, Ma Rui was working 12 hours a day, she couldn’t keep up with her health. The baby came out when she was only 8 months pregnant, and died within two days.
Because the child didn’t get too much support, the family didn’t say anything about it. And no one in the village knew about it. After this incident, Ma Rui got pregnant again after taking care of her body for 2 years. This time she learned lessons from the past and quit her job to raise a baby at home as soon as she became pregnant.
When Ma Rui’s mother-in-law came to take care of her, she was very strict with her. She ate fish and meat three times a day. She usually didn’t ask Ma Rui to go out for fear that she might have a miscarriage again. Seeing that her belly was big, they went to the hospital. Ma Rui’s pregnancy test report was not very satisfactory. The doctor felt that the fetus’s head was too big and recommended a caesarean section.
