Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad

Chapter 118: Sixth Uncle's Story


The crowd's perspective followed Xiongxiong Yue'Er to a low mud house.

"Master, this is my elder's home."

"I'll knock and ask if he's home..."

With that, Xiongxiong Yue'Er knocked on the door hard and called out: "Sixth Uncle, are you home?"

"It's Yue'Er. I've invited a master who can help you find your son!"

She knocked for a long time, but no one answered.

Just as she was about to turn away in frustration, the door creaked open.

A gray-haired, wrinkled old man in ragged clothes peered out from inside.

"Sixth Uncle, it's Yue'Er!"

"I told you before, I'm here to help you find your son, do you remember?"

Xiongxiong Yue'Er said with a smile.

"Remember! I remember!"

The old man nodded repeatedly.

The skin exposed was covered in dust and grime, as if he hadn't bathed in ages.

When he smiled, he revealed gums with hardly any good teeth left.

The spectators felt an overwhelming compassion as they witnessed this scene.

"Girls as beautiful and kind-hearted as Yue'Er are becoming rarer!"

"Yue'Er seems cute and cheerful, like a little demon, but she's actually a little angel!"

"Who knows what kind of scumbag will end up with such a good girl!"

"Yue'Er, I don't do 'girls love', but for you, I would!"

"There are few good girls to begin with, and some are even after the good ones!"

"Sorry, but my girlfriend is both beautiful and kind-hearted, making you all envious."

"One day I went to the supermarket, and a few guys followed me. I tried to walk faster, but one of them stopped me and, after looking at me, said, 'Oops, wrong person.' But soon after, I overheard him quietly telling others: 'Damn, it's really Xiongxiong Yue'Er's little puppy!'

"Check frequency 10000%, little brother!"

"Woof! Woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

"Has this pup been neutered? If not, I can introduce a quick and precise vet for Yue'Er!"

Xiongxiong Yue'Er then followed the old man into the mud house.

"Sixth Uncle, how have you been these past couple of days?"

Xiongxiong Yue'Er, holding her phone, filmed the inside of the room and asked.

The house was low and cramped, dimly lit, with little furniture, only a partially collapsed earthen bed.

The walls were covered in old newspaper and yellowing New Year posters.

The spectators looked around through the phone's camera, feeling like they had traveled back to the seventies or eighties.

"Still hanging in there."

The old man nodded repeatedly, dragging a lame leg, and poured Xiongxiong Yue'Er a glass of water.

"Sixth Uncle, no need to be so polite."

Xiongxiong Yue'Er quickly took it and then said, "Sixth Uncle, I've invited a master today, he's highly skilled in fortune-telling."

"I believe he can help you find your son."

The old man was stunned at first, and then tears welled up as he choked out, "That's good! That's good!"

"Sixth Uncle, why don't you start by telling the master about your past!"

Xiongxiong Yue'Er pulled out a pack of tissues and handed it to the old man, suggesting he wipe his tears.

After choking on a few sobs, the old man's voice trembled as he began, "I am just an ordinary farmer, earning a living through farming."

"My wife and I got married through an introduction by others."

"When we first got married, our family had some money and lived comfortably, with no worries about food or drink."

"Later, my mother fell seriously ill and had to be hospitalized, costing us a lot of money, and eventually, we even sold the house and land."

"But even after exhausting all our savings, we still couldn't cure my mother's illness."

"After we ran out of money, I wanted to go out to work, but for reasons unknown, my wife opposed it."

"So I could only work for others growing fields, earning just enough to barely support the family."

"My wife gave birth to two sons, both very sensible and academically excellent, always among the top in their school."

"Around twenty-two or three years ago, my wife accidentally broke her leg while working and needed surgery."

"Our family was already struggling, and her injury just made things worse, so we never managed to gather enough for the surgery."

"At that time, both my sons were in junior high and about to enter high school, but the family's situation was dire, unable to support their continued education."

"They both decided to drop out and work, thinking of the family."

"They sent money home each month, and with my earnings from farming, we finally gathered enough for the surgery. So, I took my wife to the hospital, and the doctor successfully treated her leg."

"I thought we would grow old together, but unexpectedly, after her leg healed, she disappeared without a word."

"Even my two sons also lost contact."

"Later, I heard from others in the village that my wife took the boys and left with another man."

"I was very angry at the time, searched many places, including my wife's parent's home, but couldn't find any trace of them."

"It's been twenty years since they left, and I dream of them every night."

"I don't care about my wife running away with someone else, I just want my sons to come back so I can see them again..."

After the old man finished his story, the livestream suddenly fell silent.

Many spectators had red eyes, feeling a sting in their throats and unable to speak.

"What kind of happiness does marriage bring a man?"

"Damn it! That woman and those kids are so ungrateful!"

"Don't say that, what if they had difficulties?"

"What kind of difficulties would prevent them from visiting their father in twenty years?"

"What did we say before? Another day of marriage fear?"

"That woman is unbelievable! They saved money to treat her, and she ran off with another man as soon as she recovered!"

"Didn't they report a devoted man donating his cornea to his girlfriend, only for her to marry the doctor after the surgery?"

"No way, is that true? Or just some fabricated media story?"

"Alas, affectionate people are always troubled by the unfeeling!"

The spectators' emotions had reached a peak.

For the screen's lovesick yet resilient old man, everyone felt immense admiration and respect.

Xiongxiong Yue'Er wiped tears from her eyes and looked at Lu Heng, "Master, please help and see if you can find Sixth Uncle's son's whereabouts..."
