"Master, which day do you think would be most suitable for these two children to get engaged?"
Wang Laoqi was the first to speak and ask.
"Well, let me calculate it for you."
He asked for Wang Xiaomeng and Xu Hui's birth dates and times, wrote them down on a piece of paper, and then smeared some saliva on the talisman.
After a few minutes.
He slowly opened his eyes and said that this year was not a good year for the two of them to get engaged or get married.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself more clearly."
Wang Laoqi was a little angry and had serious doubts about whether the Taoist priest was real or not.
"Seventh Brother, you don't need to doubt it. This Taoist priest is the most famous Taoist priest in Tieling. He can predict the future and many big bosses come to him for fortune telling."
Xiao Yan said it on purpose.
"Alright, alright, let's see how he cracks it."
Wang Laoqi said impatiently.
The Taoist stroked his beard before saying that this year was not a good year for the two to get engaged, and next year would be even less likely.
"How can that be? If it doesn't work next year, what if we have to wait until the year after?"
"My two children are getting old, and I'm still waiting to hold my grandchildren."
Wang Laoqi said anxiously.
"As the saying goes, a man's prime can last until he's 40, but a woman's youth is only a few short years. If she can't get married, what if Xu Hui doesn't want Xiao Meng?"
What should we do then?
"Seventh Brother, don't worry, I'll stand up for Xiao Hui. He'll definitely get a result for Xiao Meng."
Yang Xiaoyan, standing nearby, offered words of advice.
"Oh dear, isn't this driving me crazy year after year?"
Wang Laoqi was a little unhappy.
There was nothing Wang Laoqi could do but be unhappy; that was all he could do.
"I think this Taoist priest is a fraud. If he doesn't want to get engaged, he doesn't have to. It's not like I can't get married!"
Just then, Wang Xiaomeng came out, her face full of anger.
Xu Hui realized something was wrong; Xiao Meng was angry.
“Xiao Meng, listen to me, that’s absolutely not what I meant. We respect tradition. The master said this year and next year are not suitable, so we’ll wait until the year after next.”
Xu Hui comforted him.
"Xu Hui, you're supposed to be a returnee from overseas, a 'sea turtle' (a term for someone who has studied abroad and returned to China), yet you actually believe in this kind of superstition. You've really disappointed me."
Wang Xiaomeng shook her head and continued, "You're still the chairman of the group, yet the company's top executives are being completely outmaneuvered by a Taoist priest."
"Xiaomeng, don't be angry. Although we can't go in for the time being, I've bought you the engagement ring and necklace."
As he spoke, Xu Hui took out several exquisite gift boxes from the car.
Rows of them were displayed on the table. When opened, they were dazzling and contained nothing but gold and diamonds, all in large quantities.
"Xiao Meng, you see, you've always been in my heart."
Xu Hui said with deep emotion.
Yang Xiaoyan, who was standing next to her, secretly gave her a thumbs up.
When it comes to scumbags, Xu Hui is the one to swear.
The problem is that this matter wasn't handled very transparently.
"I think we should leave it at that for now."
Little Meng's mother stood to the side.
"What happened? How could this be?"
Wang Laoqi was anxious, eager to marry off his daughter (Wang Dehao).
He only has one daughter, who is the apple of his eye and his precious little darling. Only when Xiaomeng gets married will Wang Laoqi have one less thing to worry about.
just now.
Wang Laoqi had no worries about food or clothing, and even ran a tofu pudding shop in town, earning a hundred or two hundred yuan a day. He lived a very comfortable life and didn't have to farm in Ivory Mountain.
They have long since achieved a moderately prosperous life.
Now, the only worry is when Xiaomeng will have a happy family.
"That's fine. If some people don't want to marry me, then we won't. I'm not in a hurry."
Wang Xiaomeng said this deliberately.
Feeling angry, she wasn't as enthusiastic towards Xuhui as before.
"Alright, everyone, let's just let it go. I think we should talk about this later."
Xiao Meng started to tell them to leave.
坚.
Chapter 414 Buying Fertilizer
"Okay, let's all just let it go like this."
Wang Laoqi waved his hand.
Wang Laoqi's attitude was initially very firm.
But today a Taoist priest came to tell my fortune, saying that this year and next year are not suitable for engagement or marriage.
If it really happens soon, there is a high chance of misfortune or bad luck.
However, before leaving, Wang Laoqi still asked the Taoist priest if there was any way to break the curse by spending money, since Wang Laoqi was not short of money now.
"There is no way to solve this by spending money; the only solution is to let time work its magic."
The Taoist said.
"Alright then, it seems like this is the only way."
Wang Laoqi sighed helplessly.
Xu Hui has finally escaped a calamity and will not be forced into marriage.
Village head Zhao Yutian has also been in a bad mood these past few days.
Because when he was pursuing Du Xiaoshuang, he was met with indifference.
They simply ignored it.
So Zhao Yutian set a new target and began to try to curry favor with Huang Yaping.
As a result, Huang Yaping became even more aloof, not even glancing at Zhao Yutian.
This infuriated Zhao Yutian.
These past few days, he hasn't gone to the village office (613 office) and has left Accountant Xu to handle matters there alone.
He lay at home sleeping in late, not going to the village office or the flower processing factory even at 10 a.m.
"Son, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Si noticed something and ran over to ask.
"Dad, please stop talking, I'm feeling upset."
Zhao Yutian covered his head with a blanket.
Frustrated, she said, "I can't live like this anymore. Why don't the pretty girls in the village like me? They're all hanging around Xu Hui all day long. Is money really irreplaceable?"
Even though all those pretty girls like rich men, Xu Hui is just one person.
Can't you give me one?
"Yutian, don't think like that. You're the village head of Xiangya now. Besides Du Xiaoshuang, you're the highest-ranking official in the village. Why are you so upset about not having a girlfriend?"
"If you really want a partner, let Xie Dajiao act as a matchmaker for you."
"Absolutely simple."
Zhao Si comforted her.
"Alright, Dad, I don't want to hear it. I'm going to the village office."
Zhao Yutian got out of bed, feeling down.
"By the way, Yutian, our village is about to start planting corn, and we don't have enough fertilizer. Is there any way to get a few truckloads of fertilizer from somewhere?"
Zhao Si'er said.
"Sure, but the price might be a bit higher if you buy fertilizer here. It's cheaper if you buy it in the county town, and even cheaper if you buy it in the city."
"No, according to you, if we buy fertilizer from a fertilizer factory, wouldn't the price be incredibly cheap?"
