Chapter 6 Fortune Telling Fees
At that time, the doctor called Aunt Tian to the office alone and told her that her husband had cancer. At that time, Aunt Tian suspected that the doctor had misdiagnosis and took her husband to several major hospitals. Finally, she went to a famous hospital in the capital and had a series of tests such as liver scans, B-ultrasound, gastroenterology, cholangiopancreatography, CT, etc. All the doctors who visited the hospital were diagnosed with pancreatic head cancer unanimously.
Aunt Tian was so desperate that she could only let her husband be hospitalized for treatment. But the treatment was useless. A few days ago, her husband's condition further deteriorated and she began to have a lot of blood in the stool.
After consultation by the hospital surgeon, it was confirmed that it was advanced pancreatic head cancer, accompanied by severe gastrointestinal bleeding, and there was no way to operate. In the past two days, my husband began to feel unconscious. After consultation by the doctor in the neurology, he confirmed that it was the result of advanced intracranial metastasis of pancreatic head cancer. He could only take palliative treatment and wait for the last days.
Her husband had cancer, which almost defeated Aunt Tian. But she did not tell anyone the news, including her relatives, and repeatedly asked the doctor not to tell anyone, for fear of spreading to her husband's ears.
Her husband is a very vulnerable person. Once he knows that he has a terminal illness, he will probably die soon. It is precisely because the news is tightly blocked that her husband has been in a cheerful mood and actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment, so he has been persistent until now.
Pancreatic head cancer is not common, and many people don’t even know it, but the fortune teller wearing toad sunglasses in front of him whom he didn’t know at all actually accurately stated the disease her husband had, including obstructive jaundice before the diagnosis of cancer. This shocked her heart quickly changed to joy. - Being able to tell her husband’s illness, of course, means that this is a fortune teller with supernatural powers. He must have the ability to figure out how to cure her husband’s illness!
So, Aunt Tian immediately held Xiao Ying's hand happily, shook it constantly, and said in a crying voice: "Fortune teller, no, sir, you, hurry up and calculate for me, how can I cure my husband's illness?"
As soon as these words were said, the long-sleeved fortune teller and others were stunned and looked at each other. Because Aunt Tian's words had clearly stated that the fortune teller wearing sunglasses had calculated her husband's illness.
The long-sleeved fortune teller was stunned for a moment, then sneered again, "This kid has a good skill in traying on the plate. I don't know how to find out about her husband's condition. It's worth it to catch a big fish."
Stepping on a plate is a fortune teller. It is a fortune teller who is secretly understanding the relevant situation of the person who is preparing to tell fortune tellers, and then calculating for the other party, then you can tell them exactly.
Aunt Tian was afraid that these fortune tellers would anger Xiao Ying, so she didn't give her guidance, so she quickly stood up and waved her hands, and said to several fortune tellers: "Don't talk nonsense, this gentleman is very accurate. Please disperse and stop surrounding me, don't disturb me from telling fortunes."
When Director Long heard this, he immediately became happy and said, "I'll just say that they are capable people at first sight. Since this is the case, why don't we invite the snail shop to your snail shop and calculate it. It's hard to say that people are too verbal. Besides, there are still people here who are jealous of others and can calculate it accurately and say something strange, which makes people angry."
The long-sleeved fortune teller and others heard Director Long say this, and then looked at them sideways, then turned around and left in disappointment.
Xiao Ying nodded and agreed. Aunt Tian quickly and helped fold the white cloth on the ground with Director Long, and then surrounded Xiao Ying and walked into his shop. The old lady also followed behind with a smile, saying that if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have found a half-immortal who was as accurate as fortune telling. Aunt Tian kept turning back to thank her.
Aunt Tian runs a stall for fried snails, right at the entrance of the alley, it is the first shop. It is very good at location and can be seen in the square, so the business is pretty good. Although it is not a meal order, there are still many diners sitting there eating.
This row of shops is a two-story building with cement structure. There are shops downstairs, and you can make warehouses or live in the house. There are various pergolas at the door of the shop. There are several tables and chairs in the pergola, and there is a small private room inside. Because the weather is hot, the buzzing fans in the house do not work, so diners choose to sit under the pergola outside and eat snails and drink cold beer.
Xiao Ying looked up and saw that the sign of the store said "Snail Snacks." The small words next to it were "Fried Snails with Special Dishes, Fried Snails with Homemade Rice, and Bun Porridge Noodles." It is indeed a popular taste, facing the vast majority of people at the railway station.
Xiao Ying's eyes fell on a separate room next to the square. From the location, it should be part of this snack bar. The room alongside the private room was closed separately, with the door open towards the square. There were windows on both sides of the walls. A note was posted on the wall, which read "Rent is for rent for a shop, and the rent is negotiable."
Xiao Ying couldn't help but feel moved, nodded secretly, and had an idea in his mind.
Aunt Tian brought Xiao Ying to the only private room in the snack shop, turned on the electric fan, and let him sit under the electric fan and cooler. Then he asked an old lady to make tea quickly and introduce him to find out that the old lady was Aunt Tian's mother and helped take care of the business in the store.
Director Long and the old lady also wanted to follow the private room, but Aunt Tian blocked the door and laughed with them and asked them to sit outside for tea, and then closed the private room door.
There were only Aunt Xiao Ying and Aunt Tian left in the private room.
Aunt Tian sat in front of Xiao Ying and looked at him nervously and expectantly. Xiao Ying was wearing sunglasses, and the room was not in good light, and it was a little dark, but he still didn't take it off, which seemed mysterious. What fortune tellers need is the sense of mystery.
Aunt Tian asked with a smile: "Sir, have you not asked your surname and name?"
"My name is Xiao Ying."
"Oh, Mr. Xiao, please be sure to..."
Xiao Ying waved her hand and interrupted her: "You don't have to beg me anymore. I have promised to help, so I will definitely give you some advice. I can tell you clearly that if your husband's illness is followed by my instructions, it can be cured."
"Really? Sir, you won't coax me, are you?"
Mrs. Tian’s tone was full of tremolo. Although she didn’t believe in her heart that a fortune teller’s words would become a reality, it was like a drowning person, even if she grabbed a straw, she would give all her hope.
"Yes, but if I can't do what I say, your husband will die. And it won't last more than half a month."
This sentence made the former sister-in-law even more hope. In the morning, the doctor told her that her husband's cancer had metastasized to the brain and might not live for ten days or half a month. The fortune teller once again accurately predicted the time of her husband's death, which was very consistent with what the doctor said. It further proved that he was very accurate in calculating.
So, Aunt Tian promised to do it according to Xiao Ying's words.
Xiao Ying nodded and said, "Before we are giving guidance, we must first discuss the cost of guidance..."
Aunt Tian blurted out: "If my husband's cancer can be cured, I'm willing to lose everything..."
Aunt Tian said this in a state of excitement, but in order to cure her husband, she had spent all her savings and borrowed a lot of foreign debts. To say that she had lost all her money to save her husband's life, that was just a good hope. With all her debts, there was no property for her to lose all her money.
Xiao Ying certainly understood the financial embarrassment of a long-term illness family. He said: "I have been trying to charge money based on the other party's condition and economic conditions. General symptoms and general families charge ten yuan. If the condition is serious or the financial conditions are good, the increase will be increased as appropriate, and the upper limit will not be capped. - In theory, your husband is cancer. If you are a businessman, you will have to charge a thousand or eight hundred yuan. But you probably have to pay a debt to treat your husband. You are my first customer again. I will give you a discount and you will be charged two hundred yuan."
Of course, Aunt Tian could bear this price. She thought Xiao Ying would open her mouth, but she didn't expect Xiao Ying to be so honest. She couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Okay! OK!"
Of course, Xiao Ying knew that for patients and their families, even if they offered a price of ten times, they would grit their teeth and agree. But he was unwilling to do so. After all, the doctor's parents are kind to them and using resources to make money, but they can't be too unintentional.
