Someone called for the village chief, and the fortune-teller grabbed his belongings and ran.
Fearing being caught and paraded through the streets for spreading superstitious nonsense.
After everyone dispersed, Li Qiao returned to his own yard and sat down while the neighbors visited each other, all discussing the fortune-teller. They also reminded Qin Jin, "Jin, why didn't you ask the fortune-teller to resolve your issues just now? Now the person has run away."
Old Mrs. Qin: "Resolve what? A scammer."
Li Qiao laughed, "Grandma really sees through people."
"But didn't he not ask for money? And the thing about Jinhua was spot on. He even knew about the child she lost."
