Lu Miao’s lips curled up as she clicked to connect to the next person.
A couple appeared on the screen with their parents.
His son and his parents sat on the double sofa together, while his daughter-in-law sat on the single sofa next to them.
After the video call connected, the granny asked first,” How much is it for a divination?”
“An angel’s descent.” Lu Miao replied.
“It’s 5,000 RMB.” The son turned his head and explained to his mother-in-law in a low voice.
“Five thousand?” The granny shrieked, ” Isn’t this too expensive? Those who set up stalls under the bridge would be charged 50 yuan per trip. Why didn’t she just rob them?”
“What can a young lady like her know? She’s even wearing a hat and a mask. I think she’s a liar who’s deliberately scamming people.”The father said disdainfully.
“Dad, Mom, Young Missy is really very capable Her first divination helped a bankrupt brother find a swindler. Moreover, any random painting from her family costs hundreds of millions. There’s no need for her to scam money online.”Her daughter-in-law, who was sitting alone at the side, quickly explained.
“Hehe, they must have joined forces to put on an act. Who knows if the painting in her house is real or fake through the screen?”The father rolled his eyes.
[If you think it’s expensive, you don’t have to get a reading. There are so many street vendors under the bridge, go find them.]
[What do you three little squabbles think? Do you really think Young Missy would bother to deceive you?]
[If you’re not getting a reading, just end the connection voluntarily. There are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to get in the live stream.]
Despite the discussion in the barrage, the mother was about to speak again when the son leaned in and whispered something to her. She snorted, “Five thousand is acceptable, let’s get the reading. If it’s accurate, we’ll pay.” [Don’t they even know the rules?]
[Miss, don’t waste your breath on them. Let’s end the next one.]
“I’ll pay.” His wife hurriedly tapped on her phone and immediately refreshed an Angel Descent.
“Have you gone mad? My son’s money is our money. Who gave you the right to spend it without our permission? Give me back the money,” the mother-in-law immediately stood up and snatched the phone from her daughter-in-law’s hand, ready to refund the payment.
“Why keep such a spendthrift? You really lost your mind. Insisting on marrying her,” the father grumbled contemptuously.
[Aren’t these parents too much? Who would scold their daughter-in-law in front of so many people?]
[This husband is too useless. He doesn’t even dare to say a word when he sees his wife being bullied by his parents.]
[Legally speaking, your son’s money belongs to his wife, not you.]
Her daughter-in-law bit her lip.” Mom, this money is my own salary, not Shiyu’s money.”
“Isn’t your money Shiyu’s?” the granny said fiercely.
Lu Miao finally couldn’t bear it and tapped the table with her finger. “Are you going to continue or not? If you’re not, I’ll connect with the next person. And the gifts won’t be refunded.”
“Ever since my son married her, our family has been plagued with bad luck. First, our restaurant was maliciously reported, fined tens of thousands, and had to be temporarily shut down for rectification.
Then, my husband had a fender-bender incident. Feeling sorry for the old man involved, my husband took him to the hospital for a check-up, but the man turned around and demanded compensation of over a hundred thousand. My son was going to work as usual, but one morning, a flowerpot from upstairs fell and almost killed him. He had to stay in the hospital for two months, and it caused him to lose his job. We reported to the police, but till now, they haven’t found out who did all this.”
[It sounds like they have really been going through a tough time.]
[If their luck suddenly turned so bad after the marriage, it does seem like there might be some incompatibility in their horoscopes.]
[If that’s the case, I can somewhat understand why they treat their daughter-in-law poorly. Who would like someone who brings such bad luck to their family?]
[That’s just bad, right? That’s just a terrible attitude. If they feel it’s not right, they should just divorce instead of insulting people.]
The comments in the barrage were already becoming heated.
Seeing that most comments were siding with the daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law continued to play the victim.
“If it was just these incidents, it wouldn’t be so bad. We could work hard to make up for the losses. But then, strange things started happening at our doorstep, like someone splashing red paint on it. Neighbors started saying things behind our backs. And besides, they’ve been married for five years, but she got pregnant twice and had two miscarriages. I really suspect that their horoscopes are incompatible, and they’re destined to bring harm to our family.”
“Incompatible horoscopes? I can clearly see that it’s because she wasn’t virtuous before the marriage, working at a bar. Who knows how many men she’s been with. It’s strange that she can even have children. Those people who are causing trouble for us are probably seeking revenge for what she did with those dubious men before,” said the father-in-law with a face full of disdain. The daughter-in-law, her eyes red, tried to explain, “That’s not true. I was
only… ”
Han Shi Yu quickly reached out and pulled her, saying, “Xiao Lan.”
Xiao Lan bit her lip and said, “I was just working part-time as a waitress at the bar. Shi Yu is my first love, and before him, I had never had any other boyfriends.”
“Who knows what you were doing at the bar? We didn’t follow you,” the father-in-law sneered sarcastically.
Lu Miao looked at her son, who remained silent, showing no intention of defending his wife. She spoke directly, “You’ve said so much, but it seems the main issue is that she hasn’t given you a grandson.”
“We’re getting old; it’s not unreasonable for us to want a grandson,” the mother-in-law said, unwilling to accept it.
Lu Miao nodded and spoke candidly, “Fine, if that’s what you want, then let me tell you. The Han family is destined to end with no descendants.”
“You… You girl, are you cursing people? That’s too much! I’m going to report you!” The mother-in-law angrily threatened.
Lu Miao remained unfazed, stating calmly,
“What do you mean? It’s not my fault. What does it have to do with me?”Han Shiyu finally stopped being silent and immediately retorted loudly.
Lu Miao nodded and said directly,” Alright then. If you don’t want to say it, I’ll say it for you. Your restaurant was complained because your son colluded with the purchasing staff to use inferior food for money, causing many people to get food poisoning. Your husband was blackmailed because he was driving your son’s car that day. Your son cheated the old man of his money and then disappeared without a trace. The old man saw his car and wanted to go up to him to get back his money. As for the fact that he was smashed by a flower pot and could not give birth to a child, that was his own Sin..”
