On the way home, Ye Qiu was thinking about the direction of the business empire while thinking about the third item of the Kuaiyin APP.

A puncture is good for Huatuo needles, which sounds like they are used for healing diseases...... At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly heard a noisy sound.

"I said, get out of here!"

"Sir, don't you really come to a hexagram?

"If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go. ”

Hearing this familiar conversation, Ye Qiu didn't have to think about it to know who the person in front of him was, and sure enough, seeing the down-and-out fortune teller, Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing.

However, Ye Qiu suddenly thought of the calligraphy he had given him, and he decided not to leave first, but secretly followed the fortune teller uncle to see what he was coming from.

Over the next hour, the fortune teller wandered around the doors of several cafes, and when he saw someone, he pounced on them and asked if he wanted to tell fortunes.

Of course, most of these people refuse, and only a few simple girls will let him calculate his marriage.

Ye Qiu also found that although the fortune teller uncle looked quite unsightly, he was very personable when telling fortunes, and he would not take advantage of the girl at all.

Because of this, Ye Qiu is even more sure that this fortune teller uncle is not simple.

One hour, that is, more than ten o'clock in the evening.

There were fewer people in the café, and the fortune teller packed up his equipment and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu quietly followed behind him.

Under the leadership of the fortune teller, Ye Qiu walked through a few small alleys, and finally came to a very dilapidated residential building.

The fortune teller didn't notice that someone was following him behind him, and went directly to the second floor.

Ye Qiu thought about it, and finally followed.

There are no other residents on the entire second floor, but only one room.

After the fortune teller went upstairs, he went in without even closing the door.

Ye Qiu quietly hid behind the door, carefully observing the situation inside.

The room is a relatively old commercial house, although the area is not small, but it can be said to be impoverished.

There are hardly any decorations other than the necessary tables and chairs.

Just as Ye Qiu was observing, he saw many children walking out of the room inside.

There are three or four year olds, five or six year olds, and even eight or nine year olds.

Ye Qiu roughly counted, and there were seven or eight children.

The children gathered around the fortune teller, laughing and laughing.

"Don't worry, I've brought you burgers and fries, one by one. ”

The fortune teller took out the already unsightly hamburger fries from his bag and gave them to the children.

"Thank you, Dad!"

The children said happily and then went over to eat burgers.

Seeing this, the uncle smiled with relief.

Then, I saw that he took out another steamed bun, and he didn't even have water, so he ate it.

When Ye Qiu saw this scene, a sad feeling arose.

"Who are you!"

At this moment, Ye Qiu only felt that something was pressing against his ass.

Ye Qiu was about to turn around, and the voice behind him sounded again: "Don't move, if you move again, I'll shoot!"

Gun!?Someone is holding a gun at me? Ye Qiu was immediately frightened, could it be that this is the territory of the underworld gang, and I have been tricked? Just when Ye Qiu was frightened, the fortune teller uncle suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Young man, is that you?"

The fortune teller said in surprise.

Then, I saw the fortune teller smile and pick up the unknown object behind Ye Qiu: "Why are you naughty again?"

Ye Qiu fixed his eyes and saw that there was a four or five-year-old girl behind him just now.

And in her hand, it was a toy pistol.

He was a dignified man, and he was scared to pee by a toy pistol? And the other party was a little girl of four or five years old?"Dad, I'm not naughty, this person is sneaky, I'm here to arrest him." ”

The little girl said indignantly.

"Don't be afraid, this brother is not a bad person. ”

The fortune teller laughed.

"Really?"

The little girl was suspicious: "Hey, I'm telling you, don't arrest Dad, or I'll shoot you!"

"Alright, let's go get a burger. ”

The fortune teller smiled and placed the little girl on the ground.

As soon as the little girl landed, she made a grimace at Ye Qiu, and ran away.

"Tell me, why are you following me?"

After the little girl left, the fortune teller uncle asked Ye Qiu.

Maybe it was because Ye Qiu had helped him, so the fortune teller's tone was also kinder.

Ye Qiu smiled awkwardly, after all, he was still a little embarrassed that the tracking was discovered.

"Uncle, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, so I came with me to take a look, I'll go. ”

Ye Qiu said.

"Are you curious about my identity?"

The fortune teller said.

"It's a little. ”

Ye Qiu replied.

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

After the fortune teller finished speaking, he went straight into the house.

Ye Qiu thought for a while, and finally followed.

After Ye Qiu entered the house, those children all looked at him with big eyes.

"Sit down, there is no tea at home, so I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

The fortune teller pointed to the chair next to him and said.

After Ye Qiu sat down, the fortune teller also sat next to him.

"These kids...... It's all yours?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"Poof!"

When the fortune teller heard this, he directly squirted out in one breath.

"Young man, what kind of reasoning ability do you have, how can I have so many children?"

The fortune teller complained.

"Hehe, I guessed. ”

Ye Qiu smiled awkwardly.

"These are orphans. ”

The fortune teller said with some sadness: "Their parents are either dead or don't want them anymore, and the orphanage won't accept them, and I can't bear to let them starve, so I took them all in." ”

"I see. ”

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "That's why you want to tell fortunes for others to make money?"

The fortune teller nodded.

"Uncle, I don't think your words and deeds will fall to such a point.

With your calligraphy alone, even someone who has practiced it for five or six years can't write. ”

Ye Qiu asked his doubts.

When the fortune teller heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle, if it's inconvenient for you to say, I didn't ask. ”

Ye Qiu said.

The uncle shook his head and said, "Young man, you have helped me before, and I can see that you are a kind person."

I don't have any friends in my life, so I'll just treat you as my only confidant.

You're right, I did study, to be precise, I used to be a professor at Toyo University. ”

"What?

Ye Qiu said in shock.

You must know that Dongyang University is the only key university in Dongyang City, and it is very good even in the country.

The professors at Toyo University are at least doctoral students from top universities.

The sloppy uncle in front of him turned out to be a doctoral student? "Haha, how is it, don't you believe it?"

Uncle laughed.

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "It's a little unbelievable." ”

"It's right not to believe it, after all, I'm the ghost I look like now, and it's almost the same to say I'm a beggar. ”

Uncle said.

"Then I don't understand, since you are a professor, how can you fall into such a field? Even if you can't become a professor, even if you find a job casually, it's better than now. ”

Ye Qiu asked puzzled.

"Well, that's a very twisty story. ”

Uncle sighed and said.

Ye Qiu could see that there was bound to be a sad past in the uncle's body.

"Uncle, I know it's a bit abrupt, but if you believe me, you can share it with me. ”

Ye Qiu said.

The uncle looked inside, and then said with a smile: "Young man, I don't know why, as soon as I saw you, I felt that you were very close to me, maybe this is the fate that God said."

Okay, in that case, I'll share this past with you, but let me ask you first, do you believe in love?"

Ye Qiu was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

What an ethereal and tangible thing this is.

It's just that for Ye Qiu, love seems to be a little too far away.

"I'm only eighteen years old, and I haven't experienced it yet, so I don't think I have a say. ”

Ye Qiu said.

"Haha, it's straightforward enough. ”

Uncle smiled: "Fifteen years ago, I graduated from Yenching University and served as a doctoral supervisor at Dongyang University.

My family is not very good, so I am very lucky to have such an achievement.

I thought my life could go on like this until I met her. ”

"Your wife?"

Ye Qiu asked.

The uncle shook his head and said, "No, although I want her to be my wife, I am not worthy."

It was love at first sight for the two of us, and she was my student.

From the beginning, it was a relationship that was not blessed.

A year later, when I was about to propose to her, I learned that she was the daughter of Tan's company. ”

"Tan's Enterprise, isn't that the largest enterprise in Dongyang City?"

Ye Qiu was surprised.

The uncle nodded: "That's right, so you should know the gap between the two of us, right? I thought that becoming a doctoral supervisor at the age of twenty-five was already a winner in life, but I found that I was too naïve."

Her parents found out about this and ordered her to leave me and threatened me that if I didn't leave her, I would be severely punished. ”

"Naturally, we were reluctant to leave, and even decided to elope.

The night before we eloped, she was caught.

Later, she was placed under house arrest by her family, because she was destined to become a medium for business marriages, and her life no longer belonged to her.

In order to make her break her thoughts, her parents secretly manipulated me from the youngest doctoral supervisor to a teacher who plotted against students.

Later, I went to prison. ”

The uncle said this, his eyes were already a little moist.

It can be seen that this past has hit him hard.

"Damn, this is too inhuman, is it?"

Ye Qiu scolded indignantly.

The uncle laughed at himself: "Blame me for not being capable, five years later, I was released from prison."

It's just that at that time, I already had a dirty mark on my file, and I could no longer be a teacher.

Moreover, her parents threatened me with the loss of my legs if they found out I was doing anything related to business.

I know that with the ability of the Tan family, it is absolutely possible.

Therefore, I can only make a living as a fortune teller and live in a blur. ”

When Ye Qiu heard this, he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart.

A man with a successful career and infatuation was forcibly separated just because of his bad family background.

Moreover, he was threatened not to engage in business, so he could only live in despair.

This kind of torture is not something that an outsider can experience at all.

"Uncle, it's not your fault. ”

Ye Qiu comforted: "What is wrong is this society, this society that is mercenary and values money and status. ”

The uncle was slightly stunned and said, "You are right, but we live in such a society, and we must comply with these injustices." ”
