Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

drop by drop...

While waiting for Mingyue to have dinner, Li Mu's phone rang.

It was Liu Yanjuan calling again. He got up and went outside the restaurant to answer the call.

"Dad! Where have you been? I've been calling you nonstop and you won't answer!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yanjuan asked loudly, her voice clearly filled with anger.

"My phone was on silent, I didn't hear it, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? I broke my leg! I'm still in the hospital! Come quick... ah..."

Liu Yanjuan burst into tears.

"Huh? How did you do that?"

Li Mu feigned surprise as he asked, but a smug smile played on his lips.

Violating the three principles of divination will indeed bring divine retribution; the first loss and the second injury have both come true!

"I tripped and fell while going down the stairs... Dad, come quick!"

"Oh dear, what bad luck! My high blood pressure flared up, and I'm getting an IV drip at the clinic right now! Why don't you call your mom and ask her to come and take care of you? If you're discharged, you should go back to your mom's house too. I can't take care of you for the next few days. You know, my high blood pressure has been acting up for days and it just won't go away!"

Li Mu hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Hmph, that damned old hag!

You expect me to take care of you?

I wish your neck was broken!

go to hell!

He cursed under his breath as he returned to the restaurant.

He sent Liu Yanjuan back to her parents' home to recuperate, partly because he didn't want to take care of her, and partly because Mingyue was going to stay at his house, and it would be more convenient if Liu Yanjuan wasn't there.

"Ugh... I'm so full!"

Mingyue patted her belly and let out a satisfied burp.

"Girl, are you done eating?" Li Mu asked.

"Mmm, I ate well and I'm so full! And I must say, the food at this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant is actually pretty good!"

Mingyue nodded and said.

The girl had bright, beautiful eyes, exquisite features, and fair, delicate skin; she was indeed very pleasing to the eye.

Beneath Li Mu's aged appearance lies an increasingly youthful soul, and he can't help but secretly admire Mingyue's beauty from time to time.

"The food at this restaurant isn't bad, but you're just too hungry. As the saying goes, honey tastes bland when you're full, but bran tastes sweeter when you're hungry. Let's go home!"

"Grandpa, um... could you lend me some money?"

Mingyue asked again in a pleading tone, her voice sounding almost coquettish.

"You've already eaten and drunk your fill, what do you need money for?" Li Mu asked, blinking.

"Ugh, I'm full of physical sustenance, but I'm starving for mental nourishment! I haven't used my phone for over two days! You know how it is, young people these days would go crazy without a phone!"

Mingyue stared wide-eyed as she spoke.

"Um... if you had a cell phone, would you have money?"

Li Mu rolled his eyes and asked.

Although this spirit is extremely important to him, he doesn't know how long this girl will stay at home. In addition, this girl looks like she comes from a wealthy family and spends money extravagantly. If she stays for too long, he won't be able to afford to support her.

Yesterday, he spent over 50,000 yuan to pay off Yang Yuxiu's debts, and he really doesn't have much money left.

So he thought, if he bought her a cell phone, wouldn't she have money?

"Of course I have money, but I can't use my phone to make purchases, only cash. Unfortunately, I've lost all my cash."

"Cash only? Why?"

Li Mu blinked and asked.

"Because as long as I use mobile payment, that slut can check my spending records, and then find me based on those records! Also, I can't use my phone to withdraw money from banks or ATMs, because they'll find that too! This time, I got caught because I withdrew cash once!"

Mingyue explained with a serious expression.

"How about a bank transfer? You can transfer the money to me and I'll spend it for you, right?" Li Mu asked.

"Even a bank transfer won't work! They'll find the recipient's information and then they'll find you! If they find you, they'll just catch me again, won't they?"

"Good heavens! Just who is your family? You're so powerful! And who is this 'stinking bitch' you're talking about?"

Li Mu frowned and asked.

"Um, Grandpa, I think it's better if you don't know. Just buy me a cell phone! I don't need anything too fancy, just one of those grey market phones that costs a few thousand yuan! As long as it can access the internet!"

"Several thousand yuan and it's still a grey market phone? I've never used a phone that cost more than a thousand yuan!"

Li Mu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Oh, Grandpa, don't worry! I'll pay you back all this money later! A hundredfold, a thousandfold! You have no idea how rich I am, my personal savings would scare you to death! It's just a little bit of money, how could I possibly default on it? Please, Grandpa, please buy me a cell phone!"

Mingyue shook Li Mu's arm and pleaded, her expression pitiful and anxious.

Her appearance reminded Li Mu of the scene when his daughter begged him to buy her popsicles when she was little, and his heart softened immediately.

Since I easily earned 10,000 yuan from the street challenge earlier, I might as well buy this girl a phone!

"Okay, I can buy you a phone that costs several thousand yuan, but you have to promise me one thing."

Li Mu said to Ming Yue in a serious tone.

"OK! You say so, and I'll definitely agree to anything I can do!"

Seeing that Li Mu agreed, Mingyue immediately showed a little tiger tooth and smiled, giving an OK sign.

"From now on, you're not allowed to use foul language. A girl should act like a girl. You're so pretty, yet you keep swearing. It really affects your personal image. Can you do that? If you can, I'll buy it for you."

"Yes! Absolutely! I guarantee it! I promise I will never swear again!"

Without thinking, Mingyue immediately raised her hand and swore an oath.

"Fine, you'd better keep your word! Otherwise, I'll confiscate your phone!"

So, Li Mu took Mingyue to buy a cell phone.

Although Li Mu felt a pang of heartache at spending over three thousand yuan on a phone, Ming Yue considered it utter garbage.

"Grandpa, do you have any clean clothes for me to change into? And some other personal items for girls? If not, shouldn't you buy some?"

After leaving the mobile phone store, Mingyue blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked again.

"Uh... I really don't have any. Okay, okay, I'll buy it! What can I do? I'm a good grandpa, aren't I?"

Helpless, Li Mu could only take Mingyue to buy clothes and daily necessities again.

To his dismay, this girl insisted on buying only high-end items, or at least high-end items in Li Mu's eyes.

Even clothes that cost one or two thousand yuan are basically considered junk in Mingyue's eyes!

Li Mu has lived for 68 years. When has he ever worn clothes that cost one or two thousand yuan?

When shopping, the sentence this girl said most often was: "Oh well, I'll just make do with what I have!"

This left Li Mu speechless, almost to the point of gritting his teeth.

Not only was the 10,000 yuan he won in the street challenge gone, but Li Mu also took out several thousand more!

Li Mu felt like he had taken in a money-devouring beast!

If this girl lives with him, she'll probably squander his entire savings in no time!

However, if Mingyue is not taken in, he might only live for three more years at most.

There was no other way; his life was at stake, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and raise this little money-devouring beast.
