Chapter 39: Chapter 26 Mr. Chen the Benefactor

After some time, even the parents began to avoid this child.

A few years ago, they fostered another child with a different name.

The family from her father’s side, far away in Port City, still refuse to include Lu Sisi in the family registry.

Because when Lu Sisi was five, her father once took her back to Port City to pay respects to their ancestors, and something happened during the ceremony.

At that time, young Lu Sisi, under the guidance of the adults, knelt and bowed before the ancestral tablets.

As soon as she bowed her head...

Crack!

The ancestral tablet split open on the spot!

·

Chen Yan: "..."

Although saying this might be a bit lacking in virtue...

But... that scene was indeed a bit explosive!

To be honest, if I were the patriarch, I wouldn’t dare let her into the family registry either!

·

"Actually, my dad’s surname is Yang. When I was born, my name was Yang Sisi. But later, the family registry didn’t permit me to be recorded, and my father’s side of the family pressured him, forbidding me to take the Yang surname.

So after I turned six, my family changed my surname to my mom’s, and my name was changed to Lu Sisi."

As Lu Sisi said this, her eyes were already filled with tears.

Chen Yan sighed and suddenly remembered something: "Many people in Port City are superstitious, especially within those big families, and with the popularity of metaphysics there, didn’t your father’s family, the Yang Family, consult any masters back then?"

Lu Sisi’s face turned pale, and she whispered, "Actually, they did. Right after that incident when I was five, kneeling and cracking the ancestral tablet...

The elders there invited a famous local master to divine my life chart."

Chen Yan perked up a bit: "Oh? What did they say?"

"They said... I have the Seven Absolute Deaths life chart." The girl’s face turned white, her voice trembling slightly: "Seven Absolute Deaths means that in my lifetime...

I’ll be severed from family, friends, wealth, blessings, career, longevity, and offspring."

Hearing these seven fates, even Chen Yan couldn’t help but shiver!

What a vicious life chart!

Thinking about it, Chen Yan made a decision in his heart.

"Take out your phone."

"Huh?", Lu Sisi was puzzled.

"No nonsense, just take it out."

As Chen Yan spoke, he also took out his phone and opened the WeChat payment QR code: "Do you have money in your bank account?"

Uh?

The girl immediately looked at Chen Yan with a bit of suspicion, but her nature was gentle and timid, so she replied softly, "Yes, I have a little."

"Transfer me some money."

"???",

The girl widened her eyes at Chen Yan but seemed unable to muster the courage to resist, whispering hesitantly, "How much should I transfer?"

"Whatever you like. Even three or five yuan is not too little, thirty thousand or fifty thousand is not too much, it’s up to you.", Chen Yan waved his hand.

After a pause, seeing the girl in a confused state, Chen Yan kindly explained a bit, "I’m not trying to scam you for money. It’s just that in the tradition of my craft: Taking people’s money means exerting effort for them.

It’s a rule to accept a token of appreciation when helping someone; disregarding this would break the rules.

You just give whatever you see fit, any amount is fine, understand?"

The girl hesitated for a bit, then whispered timidly, "I... I don’t have much money left. It’s almost the end of the month, and my living expenses are running out. A few days ago, because of the incident that hurt your friend, I broke my phone and had to buy a second-hand phone, so there’s even less money left in my account.

Right now, I only have a bit over four hundred yuan in my account..."

Chen Yan sighed, "I already said, any amount will do, it’s just a matter of fate, don’t you understand?"

The girl looked down, her voice faint, "I... I’m afraid it won’t be enough."

Chen Yan turned around and went to the counter, borrowed some paper and a pen, and placed them in front of Lu Sisi.

"Your birth date and Eight Characters... Never mind, you probably don’t know the Eight Characters either, just write down your birth date and approximate birth time, I’ll calculate it later."

"No, I do know the Eight Characters." The girl said seriously, "When they divined my fate back then in Port City, the master had determined my Eight Characters."

"Alright, then write them all down."

Lu Sisi obediently picked up the pen and started writing.

Chen Yan stood beside her, stroking his chin, looking at this girl — she was quite pitiful too.

After being unlucky for eighteen years, she had developed such a timid and wronged disposition.

Seeing the girl finish writing, Chen Yan said, "Transfer me one hundred yuan."

"... Huh?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, hesitated slightly, then nodded, "Oh, alright..."

As she spoke, Lu Sisi suddenly said, "You got injured today because you were protecting me. The medical expenses should be my responsibility as well."

Hmm?

Chen Yan’s heart moved, and he looked deeply at this girl.

He nodded and said, "Indeed, medical expenses... If you hadn’t mentioned it, I might have forgotten.

According to the rules, one hundred yuan wouldn’t be enough.

One thing is for the service fee, another is the medical expenses.

Transfer a bit more, how about... twenty more, making it one hundred and twenty in total."

... The girl looked up at Chen Yan, then silently took out her phone and obediently scanned the code to transfer the money.

Seeing the notification of the money transfer on his phone, Chen Yan nodded.

He reached into the pocket of his shirt and took out a stack of paper talisman.

This stack had around seven or eight sheets, all similar to the Exorcism Talisman he had sold to President Fang earlier, and all were drawn by Chen Yan at home the previous day.

"Hold onto this. Light a candle and use your right hand to hold a talisman to burn it!

Remember, when burning the talisman, you must extend your index and middle fingers of your right hand, holding the talisman in the gap between the fingertips, and bring it to the candle to burn.
