Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Li Mu was unaware that the neighborhood had been targeted by two bodyguards from Mingyue's family. He was also unaware that Ma Tao, who had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, had a new plan because of Liu Yanjuan's sudden death.

Although he can perform divination to predict events three days in advance, he can't possibly divine everything, as this would not only severely deplete his spiritual energy but also be very tiring.

Besides, sometimes even divination doesn't guarantee success.

……

Under the bright autumn sun, passengers filed out of the Qianlong City High-Speed ​​Railway Station.

Ma Tao stood outside the exit, comparing the photos on his phone with his eyes constantly searching through the crowd of people leaving the station.

Finally, his gaze settled on a girl with two braids.

The girl looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Her appearance and clothing gave off a somewhat rustic vibe, but she had a pretty face and a good figure. Her clear eyes looked around with curiosity.

She looked like a country girl who had come to the city from the countryside and had never seen the world.

"Xiao Tang! She's here!"

Ma Tao waved and called out to the girl.

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately broke into a bright and honest smile and ran over carrying her bags.

"Cousin, have you been waiting long?"

The girl came to Ma Tao's side and asked with a smile.

This girl is Ma Tao's distant cousin from the countryside, named Shi Tang.

Two days ago, Ma Tao told her on WeChat about a great money-making opportunity, and Shi Tang came over immediately.

Actually, Ma Tao and this distant cousin were not very familiar with each other; they had only met when they were children.

The reason Ma Tao called his cousin, whom he hadn't seen for many years, over was because Liu Yanjuan's death suddenly thwarted his plan to make a fortune off Li Mu.

He was unwilling to accept it, after all, Li Mu's accidental death insurance, his funeral expenses, and his house were a huge sum of money!

So he came up with another plan.

"I just arrived too, and I didn't expect Xiaotang to have grown so beautiful! I thought the photos you sent me were filtered, hehe!"

Ma Tao said with a smile.

"What's with the beauty filters? I don't even know how to use those. Cousin, there are so many people in this city! The station is huge! And that high-speed train, it's so fast! It's my first time riding a high-speed train! Cousin, my stomach is growling, are there any restaurants around here?"

As Shi Tang spoke, she touched her belly and looked at Ma Tao, asking a question.

"There's a noodle shop up ahead. Come on, I'll treat you to beef noodles."

Ma Tao then took Shi Tang into the car.

Seeing that his cousin, whom he hadn't seen for many years, was quite pretty, though a bit rustic and silly, Ma Tao was secretly delighted.

Because the female lead in the plan he wants to implement needs to be someone like Shi Tang.

"Hey, cousin, can I have another bowl?"

In the noodle shop, Shi Tang finished four large bowls of noodles in one go, then asked Ma Tao with a smile.

"Damn, you can eat like a dog! This little girl eats at least three times as much as I do! Now I know why your name is Shi Tang, it really is a cafeteria!"

Ma Tao glared at her and said.

"Hehe! I only have this one flaw, everything else is great! The key thing is, the noodles here are incredibly delicious! One last bowl, okay?"

Shi Tang chuckled and held up a finger, asking with a pleading expression.

"Sure! Eat as many bowls as you want, all you can eat!"

Ma Tao smirked and called the waiter for another bowl of noodles.

"Hey, cousin, you're so generous! By the way, cousin, what's that great money-making opportunity you were talking about?"

"Don't rush, I'll tell you after you've eaten and are back in the car."

"Okay, sure."

Soon, the waiter brought over a large bowl of beef noodles, which Shi Tang slurped up in no time.

Her eating habits, which resembled those of a reincarnated demon, left Ma Tao speechless.

"Um... cousin, what exactly is this great money-making opportunity you're talking about?"

Back in the car, Shi Tang, burping, asked impatiently.

"Xiao Tang, there's a job out there. If you take it, I guarantee you can earn enough money to pay for your brother's medical treatment."

Ma Tao looked at Shi Tang while smoking a cigarette and said.

"Really? What kind of job can earn that much money? I won't do anything illegal!"

Shi Tang blinked repeatedly and quickly asked.

Yes, the reason she traveled all that way because of Ma Tao's news that he could make money was to raise money for her brother's medical treatment.

Shi Tang's younger brother has leukemia and needs a lot of money for treatment.

To pay for her younger brother's medical treatment, she dropped out of school early and worked odd jobs all over her hometown, doing all sorts of hard and tiring work.

Shi Tang was also a person with a hard life. Her parents died when she was a teenager, and she struggled to raise her younger brother on her own.

But fate is cruel; the rope always breaks at its thinnest point. Two years ago, her younger brother, who depended on her for survival, was diagnosed with leukemia.

Shi Tang couldn't bear to watch her beloved younger brother die from illness, so she worked tirelessly to earn money to treat him.

"Tsk, what kind of person do you take your brother for? How could I let you do something illegal? Here's the thing, my former father-in-law lives alone now, his children are all gone, and he has no relatives. But he has a high-coverage insurance policy and a house. If you marry him, after he dies, you'll get the huge insurance payout, the house, his funeral expenses, and his personal savings. Then we can split it equally, and your brother's medical expenses will be covered, right?"

Ma Tao told Shi Tang about his plan.

"What? You want me to marry an old man?! This, this won't do!"

Shi Tang's eyes widened immediately and he shook his head repeatedly.

"Xiao Tang, you're just pretending to get a marriage certificate with him, it's not like you're actually going to become his wife. Think about it, he's 68, he doesn't even have the ability anymore. Even if you two sleep in the same bed, what can he do to you? This is a money-making opportunity that others can only dream of! It's a pity I'm a man, otherwise I wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by!"

"But...68 isn't that old, is it? If he's in good health, he could live for another twenty or thirty years. How can my brother wait that long?"

Shi Tang frowned.

"Don't worry, as far as I know, he has a terminal illness and only has a few months to live at most. If you just endure it for a few months, you can make a fortune! I know your brother urgently needs money, but don't worry about that. I'll pay for your brother's medical expenses until you finish this job. You can pay me back when you have the money."

Ma Tao patted Shi Tang's arm and said.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Mu had a terminal illness. His so-called "only a few months to live" was nothing more than creating an accident to kill Li Mu.

After all, personal accident insurance wouldn't cover death from a terminal illness, but Ma Tao knew that his rural cousin didn't understand any of that.

"That old man only has a few months to live? Really? You're really going to pay my brother's medical bills in advance? Don't lie to me!"

Upon hearing Ma Tao say that he would pay his brother's medical expenses in advance, Shi Tang was clearly tempted and quickly asked.

"Tsk, we're relatives, I wouldn't lie to you! Xiao Tang, this is a rare opportunity, you'll never get another one like it! Your brother's illness needs a lot of money to be controlled, where are you going to get so much money?"

Ma Tao glared at Shi Tang, then continued his seduction.

"But... wouldn't this be considered fraud?"

Shi Tang frowned and asked.

"How could this be fraud? My ex-father-in-law isn't senile; he's of sound mind. We wouldn't trick him into marrying you. We must have found a way to make him marry you willingly. Besides, he's lost all his family. If he dies, wouldn't all his insurance money and personal estate be confiscated?"

"Well... what you said makes sense, cousin, but I still feel it's a bit unfair. After all, I only got the marriage certificate with the old man for his money, so it's actually deceiving him."

Clearly, Shi Tang is a kind-hearted girl.

"Tsk, Xiaotang, why are you so stubborn! As long as he's willing, that's all that matters. Think about it this way: the old man is able to experience the taste of love in the last days of his life, and to be able to marry such a young and beautiful wife like you—what a blessing that is! From this perspective, you're doing a good deed! He gets your love, and you get his property—it's perfectly fair and reasonable! How is that deception?"

Ma Tao continued to brainwash the naive and kind-hearted Shi Tang, trying his best to persuade her.

It must be said that his twisted logic and heresy were extremely seductive to Shi Tang, who was in dire need of money, and Shi Tang was indeed tempted.
