Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 347 - 320

But soon, the cripple put forward his own demand.

That was to marry Wang Feng as his wife.

This idea, as soon as it came out, almost made Wang Feng’s father hit the cripple on the head with a broom in his anger.

He even scolded him, saying this was completely a lunatic’s dream.

As long as he was alive, he would absolutely not let the other’s idea come true.

His reaction wasn’t because he deeply loved Wang Feng, but simply because he felt it was shameful for a man like that to want the daughter he had raised.

He intended Wang Feng to marry into a wealthy family, so he himself could have a good life.

He couldn’t let her end up with someone like the cripple.

However, in the next second, Wang Feng’s father was slapped in the face by his own words.

This was because the cripple offered a very tempting price.

20,000 yuan.

Keep in mind, that was 20,000 yuan nearly twenty years ago.

Compared to 20,000 today, it was worth at least several times more.

Across the country, people able to come up with 100,000 yuan could be counted on one hand.

Thirty years ago, Wang Feng’s father only spent 500 yuan to buy Wang Feng’s mother.

Upon hearing this figure, Wang Feng saw the light of greed appear in her father’s eyes.

She even suspected that, let alone 20,000 yuan, even if the other party had offered 5,000 yuan at that time, her father would have sold her without hesitation.

Back then, little Wang Feng had no chance to resist, she could only desperately beg her father not to sell her to someone else.

For this, not only did she kneel on the ground until her head bled, but she also vowed to do even more exhausting and harder work at home, and that she would go out to work properly when she grew up to repay her father.

When he heard this last sentence, Wang Feng’s father hesitated for a moment.

It wasn’t because he was moved with compassion by Wang Feng’s words.

He was only calculating whether letting Wang Feng work in the future would bring him more money compared to directly selling her to the cripple for 20,000 yuan.

If Wang Feng could really give her future wages to him, and if he found her a good family to marry later to collect some dowry, it might be more than 20,000 yuan.

Seeing his expression loosen, Wang Feng thought she might be saved.

Never did she expect the cripple to say a few words that would completely dash her hopes.

In the past, she didn’t have much interaction with the cripple.

But since then, Wang Feng was well aware that the other party was definitely a deeply scheming and cunning person.

He said at that time, "Maybe you think Wang Feng is decent-looking and might marry into a good family, but can you be sure the dowry they give will be more than what I offer?"

In fact, Wang Feng’s father didn’t even need to think; the answer was definitely no.

20,000 yuan was already considered a fortune in that era.

He was well aware that it was only because the cripple was so much older and couldn’t find a wife that he brought out his life savings.

And before he could respond, the other party asked another question.

"I know what you’re thinking. You probably think that when the child grows up and works, you can take her wages, right?"

"But how can you guarantee that she’ll still be controllable when she grows up?"

Just those few words left Wang Feng stunned on the spot.

All the blood in her body seemed to start flowing backward.

She hadn’t expected the other party to say something like that.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it begins to slowly take root and sprout.

Wang Feng’s father began squinting his eyes, thinking about how he had treated the child in the past.

He often beat or scolded Wang Feng and also blamed her for her mother’s escape.

Did this child really not hate him at all?

Even if we take a step back, maybe she doesn’t hate him now, but what about when she is older?

When she is exposed to the outside world, can she still ensure that she will hand over all her earnings to him like she does now?

Wang Feng’s father was beating the drum inside his heart.

This simple sentence led him to ponder these things.

The balance in his heart had already started tilting to the other side.

At this time, the cripple said one last thing.

"Besides, to be honest, you’re actually not that old now. There’s still time for you to take this 20,000 yuan, buy another wife, and have a son to carry on your family lineage."

When Wang Feng’s father heard these words, his eyes glazed over.

It was as if he had discovered a new world.

How could he not have thought of this before?

The fact that he had no son was something Wang Feng’s father always considered a great shame.

It was a knot in his heart.

One he had never been able to untie.

It was just that, with time passing by, plus Wang Feng’s grandmother passing away, he slowly ate away the family savings, so he hadn’t continued pondering it.

It’s not that he didn’t want to think about it.

But he couldn’t think about it.

With even basic meals barely scraping by, where could he find a woman willing to be with him?

But the cripple’s words today gave him a new choice.

As he said, being in his fifties doesn’t mean he’s completely infertile. He could definitely use this money to find another woman and have a son.

In his heart, having a son, having someone to provide for him in his old age and handle his funeral, was as important as the heavens.

So even though Wang Feng cried her heart out, her father still agreed to the other’s demand.

After the two reached an agreement, that night the cripple went home and brought all his lifetime savings.

At the same time, Wang Feng’s father sent Wang Feng to the man’s home.

Wang Feng would never forget his yellow-toothed grin as he tried to kiss her.

...

"Damn it! What a beast, I’ve never seen such a bastard father!"

The observer in the neighboring room grew more and more furious, unable to control the anger inside.

Thankfully, this room was very soundproof, so no matter how they cursed, Wang Feng couldn’t hear a word from their side.

...

Wang Feng felt a physical revulsion, even after so many years, she still couldn’t stand the time she lived with that cripple.

Her stomach heaved, and she dry heaved on the spot.

Even though nothing came out after five or six minutes, her stomach clenched in pain.

"So do you believe that I can tell fortunes now?"

Mu Yunchu waited with great patience, and only when she was completely calm did she start speaking again.

This wasn’t much different from how she used to stream fortunetelling online.

Only the other side was harder to gain trust than those netizens.

She could see, even after speaking so extensively about Wang Feng’s childhood experiences, the other party hadn’t fully believed in her.

Still held a trace of skepticism.

"Of course, if you want to hear more, I still know a lot."

"Like how you retaliated, escaped the cripple, and lived outside the village alone."

"And how you found a place to shelter yourself while under your father’s harassment."

"And... the matter with your ex-husband later on."

Wang Feng’s experiences were truly many.

Her entire life could be described as a series of ups and downs.

You might think her life was finally settling down, but it wasn’t actually the case.
