The child was truly scared by now, giving me a pitiful glance, no longer daring to randomly call out for 'that woman' this and 'that woman' that.
I sat there, sighing. It was just because we were at a school, and I was afraid that if I pushed this woman too hard, she would make a scene right there. If this were at my home, I would have already kicked the mother and child out.
"10,000, I'll take care of it for 10,000 yuan," I said. "After this, no matter what it is, don't come looking for me again. I don't like you guys."
I'm a straight-talker. Back in Weining City when I was short on cash, even though Lu Mingwei was always helping me, I still managed to make some money at the morning market. Back then, I'd see anybody for divination; it was just about casting a fortune.
