Chapter 146 She Really Can't Accept This Money
"That's fine. If you have something that your daughter has used for a long time, you can give it to us." Jun Ningyan said.
Hearing this, the old man nodded, put the notebook and pen into his backpack, and waved to the two of them with a smile on his face.
"Goodbye, grandpa." Rong Huan sent him out the door and waved to him.
After sending the man away, Rong Huan looked at Jun Ningyan with a puzzled look and asked, "This old man definitely doesn't know how to use a smartphone. How did he find this place?"
"Hmph, the spiritual energy in this world is thin, but technological development is very rapid. The older generation cannot integrate into this era because of their age. They also have things they want and people they want to see. But because of their age, many of their needs will be ignored. So I asked people to distribute flyers to nursing homes." Jun Ningyan said.
"Sir, you are a great man."
Rong Huan was looking up at a 45-degree angle.
But in fact, Jun Ningyan heard that some people went to nursing homes to sell fake supplements, and many elderly people were deceived.
Her ability in physiognomy and fortune-telling is genuine, so she asked people to promote her in nursing homes.
Anyway, she doesn't have any clients at the moment, so she can just spread the word everywhere, just in case she comes across someone with such a need.
After Rong Huan and Jun Ningyan sent the old man away in the morning, the old man did not come over for the whole afternoon.
The two of them didn't think much about it and left work on time.
But soon after the two men left, a short old man appeared at the door of the studio carrying a backpack.
The old man looked at the closed door of the studio, uttered "ahhh" twice, took his backpack off his back, held it in his arms, and sat on the stone steps in front of the studio door.
Someone passed by the studio door and saw the old man. A kind person came up to him and asked, "Old man, are you waiting for someone here, or can't you find your way home?"
"Ahhh..." The old man opened his mouth and waved his hand at the man.
When passersby saw him waving his hand, they left without paying any more attention.
It was getting dark, the street lights on both sides of the street lit up, and there were not many pedestrians here.
Someone else passed by and saw the old man squatting on the stone steps, and came over to ask if he needed help.
The old man waved at him, and the man saw this and left.
The street lamp stretched the shadow of the old man sitting on the stone steps very long. He squatted there alone, not afraid, nor feeling hungry.
He heard from someone yesterday that there is a fortune-telling studio here which is very powerful and can tell a person's past and future.
Just by looking at you, it can tell what happened in your family and teach you how to resolve it.
If your wife is pregnant, people can tell at a glance whether she is carrying a boy or a girl, and can also tell for you clearly whether she will become a successful person when she grows up.
We can also help you find someone. I heard someone's child was lost, and they called the police. In the end, the boss of this studio found the child...
When the old man heard the last sentence, he took the notebook and went forward to ask them where the studio was.
At first, several people were unwilling to pay attention to him, but only after he gave them the money he earned from scavenging last month did they give them the flyer.
The old man came out of the nursing home after breakfast in the morning and found this place after asking along the way.
Rong Huan slept very uneasily last night. She got up early to run, which surprised Feng Ji.
When Feng Ji sent people to the studio, he saw a person sitting on the stone steps at the entrance of the studio.
Feng Ji didn’t know who the old man was. He was afraid that Rong Huan might be in danger, so he got out of the car with Rong Huan.
However, when Rong Huan saw the old man, his heart seemed to be gently struck by something.
She hurried forward and said, "Grandpa, why are you here? How long have you been here?"
The old man saw Rong Huan, smiled at her, and pointed to the backpack in his arms: "Ahhh..."
Rong Huan took a look into the old man's backpack and saw two books and a birth certificate inside.
The door of Jun Ningyan's studio has a combination lock, and Rong Huan knows the combination.
After opening the door, Rong Huan led the old man inside.
Feng Ji was not in a hurry to leave. It was his first time entering Jun Ningyan's studio.
The old man took out the two books and the birth certificate and placed them on the table one by one.
He took out the small notebook and pen he had used yesterday and wrote on it: This book is what my daughter used to read. This birth certificate is my daughter's.
Rong Huan looked at the old man's cracked lips and said to Feng Ji coquettishly, "Boyfriend, can you buy me some breakfast?"
Rong Huan came over after having breakfast with him. Feng Ji looked at the old man sitting opposite Rong Huan and chuckled.
Then I went to buy her breakfast.
Jun Ningyan hadn't arrived yet, so Rong Huan helped the old man check if his daughter was still there.
Rong Huan took the birth certificate that the old man had placed on the table and began to deduce.
Still alive!
But, abroad.
Rong Huan frowned, took out the world map, and locked the location according to her deduction method.
Country M!
Feng Ji had not returned from buying breakfast yet, and Jun Ningyan arrived at the studio first.
She saw Rong Huan helping the old man to deduce and didn't say anything.
"Your daughter is in Country M." Rong Huan said to the old man.
The old man nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. That’s right, his daughter went to Country M and never came back!
The old man’s daughter is called Tang Shulan. She worked at the Duan Group’s head office five years ago. She was the secretary of a senior executive of the Duan Group. She was fluent in multiple languages, so she often accompanied the senior executives on business trips.
But the old man couldn't express it.
Feng Ji bought the breakfast and handed it to the old man.
The old man shook his hands quickly.
"Grandpa, you should eat breakfast first so that you will have the energy to find your daughter's whereabouts." Rong Huan advised.
Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes filled with tears and he uttered "ah ah" twice before he took the breakfast from Feng Ji's hand and started eating.
"His daughter is in Country M, so she has to go abroad." Rong Huan told Jun Ningyan the address he had calculated.
The old man who was eating breakfast over there heard Rong Huan and Jun Ningyan talking, and immediately came over, took out a red plastic bag from the bottom of his backpack, and placed it in front of the two of them.
Jun Ningyan looked at Rong Huan. She didn't know what was inside.
Rong Huan knew that when she and her adoptive parents lived in their hometown, the older generation used this kind of red plastic bag to cover the door layer by layer: "It contains money."
Hearing this, Jun Ningyan opened the old man's red plastic bag and took out two 100-yuan bills from it: "These are enough, you can take the rest back."
"Ah ah ah..."
The old man gestured towards Jun Ningyan and Rong Huan and pushed the money towards them.
Although Rong Huan is a money-grubber, she really can't accept the money now.
There are only about five or six hundred-yuan bills in the red plastic bag, and the rest are loose change. It looks like a lot when it is packed in the red plastic bag, but the total amount is definitely no more than two thousand yuan.
I don’t know how long the old man spent picking up wasteland with a basket on his back to earn this money.
