Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

Ling Jiuyue looked at Miao Xiuqin's marital palace; her husband was already dead.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

Miao Xiuqin was heartbroken: "I'm so sorry to my husband. He's gone, and I lost our child too. I couldn't even leave his family with any descendants. I... I know you have abilities, so... I wanted to ask you for a favor. Please perform a ritual... to send a message to my husband, saying that I, Miao Xiuqin, have wronged him in this life!"

Ling Jiuyue was silent for a moment: "Your husband fell into the water, who said he died?"

Miao Xiuqin didn't understand the meaning behind Ling Jiuyue's words and was still blaming herself:

"It was pouring rain that day, and he went out in the middle of the night. Someone saw his shoes by the river. What if he's dead?"

"Where's your son?" Ling Jiuyue asked again. "According to you, your son was already five years old when your husband died. How could a child that age just disappear?"

Miao Xiuqin became even more heartbroken: "My husband is gone, and everyone in the family was busy with his funeral arrangements. We didn't have time for our son. After everything was settled, we discovered... the child... the child is gone!"

"Stop crying, your crying will interfere with my judgment!"

She really dislikes women who cry at the slightest provocation.

Upon hearing this, Miao Xiuqin immediately stopped crying and dared not cry anymore.

Ling Jiuyue asked her, "Is there anyone else in your family you can rely on?"

Miao Xiuqin shook her head: "I got married here during the rural resettlement program. My hometown is in Tailin. Because of my family's bad class background, my parents-in-law don't allow my family to have any contact with me. I've lost contact with my family for more than ten years."

Ling Jiuyue glanced at the time: "It's too late today. Come here and wait for me first thing tomorrow morning. I'll take you somewhere where everything about your man and son can be resolved!"

Miao Xiuqin looked bewildered: "Solve? How do we solve it?"

"You'll find out tomorrow!" Ling Jiuyue instructed as she left.

"Don't say anything else. If your mother-in-law asks, just tell her, 'I asked you to come and do some work. If you don't come, your mother-in-law's whole family won't have any peace!'"

After seeing Miao Xiuqin off, Ling Jiuyue arrived at Sister Song's restaurant, where Ge Junshan was already waiting for her at the entrance.

"Oh, Comrade Xiao Ling, you've finally arrived!"

Seeing Ge Junshan's beaming face, Ling Jiuyue exclaimed, "It seems Boss Ge's wish has come true!"

Ge Junshan laughed heartily: "This is all thanks to Comrade Xiao Ling's guidance! Boss Chen has promised that if he succeeds in finding his relatives this time, he will invest in our village's paper mill!"

Ling Jiuyue was also happy for him: "Congratulations, Boss Ge!"

Ge Junshan is a man who truly works for his fellow villagers, and such a person deserves respect.

After Ge Junshan and Ling Jiuyue finished talking about the factory's arrangements and finished recounting the happy news, their expressions suddenly became somewhat complicated.

"Xiao Ling, I really don't know how to thank you. At first, you told me not to tell my closest brothers about picking up Boss Chen. I thought you were exaggerating!"

But after that incident, I realized that the person most likely to stab you in the back is actually your own closest brother!

There were four brothers in total. The two younger brothers in the middle did not survive, but he and his youngest brother were saved.

Because he was more than ten years older than his younger brother, his parents always told him to give way to his younger brother. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and that was probably how he treated his younger brother.

But this younger brother, whom he raised like his own son, was secretly introducing the factory's clients to others and earning kickbacks.

Upon learning that he had saved Chen Guirong, he immediately went to inform him.

If Chen Guirong hadn't mentioned it to him, he wouldn't have known at all.

"Mr. Ge, you're a businessman, but you should also pay attention to your family members!"

Chen Guirong, being too casual with Ge Junshan, refrained from offering too much advice.

Ge Junshan didn't ask too many questions, but instead inquired with the staff at the guesthouse where Chen Guirong was staying.

This was quite an discovery. His younger brother had actually brought several groups of business owners who wanted to attract investment to Chen Guirong, and the key point was that they were doing it in his name.

Chen Guirong is over 60 years old and has seen all kinds of things. He saw through Ge Junshan's younger brother's little tricks at a glance, which is why he spoke up to remind Ge Junshan.

Suppressing his anger, Ge Junshan went home and questioned his younger brother about why he had done this, only to be scolded by his parents instead.

"He's your own brother. Even if he's using your name to make some money, it's still family business. Why did you have to make such a scene with him?"

Ge Junshan was furious: "Mom, do you know he's damaging our factory's interests!"

"What do you mean by your factory?" the old man said impatiently. "You keep talking about your factory, but who gets all the money? It all ends up in the pockets of the villagers."

You're over ten years older than your brother, but you're not nearly as clever as him. Money only counts when it's in your own pocket; what's money when it's in someone else's?

Ge Junshan was furious. His parents had been like this for over twenty years, treating his younger brother like a child and always covering for him.

"Okay, you all say that the money he earned is real money! Then let me ask you, all these years, I've been working so hard to run the business, while he's been causing trouble for me and making all that dirty money. Where did it all go?"

The elderly couple stammered for a long time.

My mother yelled angrily, "He's a man! What's wrong with spending a little money? Do you have to be like you, giving all your money to other people to be happy?"

At this moment, the sister-in-law rushed out and said, "I've had enough of you two old hags! Your son hasn't brought home a single penny. He's been spending all the money gambling and supporting women at home."

"My older brother is supporting all the elderly and children in my family. I've had enough of this life. You can do whatever you want from now on, I'm done!"

Only then did Ge Junshan realize that his younger brother had caused a lot of trouble outside, all of which had been kept secret from their parents.

He was trembling with anger: "He's caused so much trouble, and you're still spoiling him? Are you planning to indulge him for the rest of his life?"

The old woman started crying: "Eldest son, you only have one younger brother. He doesn't have any bad habits, he just likes to play cards, drink alcohol, and occasionally go out and flirt with women. What's wrong with that?"

"That's because a man is capable, that's why women date him, right? Unlike you, no matter how capable you are, you're controlled by a woman. You're pathetic, yet you want to control your brother. Don't ruin a perfectly good man!"

Ge Junshan was speechless with anger.

His parents actually thought his brother, who was causing trouble outside, was capable, while he, who was down-to-earth, was considered a good-for-nothing.

"Fine, since you all like spoiling him so much, I won't care what happens to him in the future!"

"You shouldn't have interfered in the first place!" Ling Jiuyue added after hearing this, "It's precisely because of your family's indulgence that he's so unruly!"

Ge Junshan felt this deeply.

As the two were talking, Chen Guirong, who had received the news, arrived.

"You must be Comrade Xiaoling?"

Chen Guirong sized up Ling Jiuyue: "Comrade Ling, I'd like to ask you to help me find a family to live with!"

Ling Jiuyue was also sizing up Chen Guirong: "A family?"
