Upon reaching the fortune-teller's residence, the group realized why the vendor had said, "Maybe you'll make it into the queue."
There's only one sorceress, but there are hundreds of people wanting their fortunes told; even if they wait until the sun goes down, it's not a guarantee that they'll get their turn.
Jane McCain was frustrated and said, "Let's go. There are so many people; we'll definitely not get our fortunes read today."
Purple Summers thought for a moment and said, "Wait here for a bit."
She went to the front of the queue, and after a few moments, she returned and said, "Okay, we can go in now to have our fortunes told."
Everyone was astonished and asked her, "How did you manage that?"
Purple Summers laughed and explained: "I asked the person in the first place if he'd give up his spot for a thousand yuan, and he agreed."
"Purple, you're amazing!" Jane was ecstatic, hugging her as if she wanted to kiss her out of gratitude.
