The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 32 Dare you steal my master’s business?

With the help of the "marriage line", Zhou Hai and Meng Xiaodong fell in love with each other at lightning speed.

That night, after eating hot pot at Luo Fan's house, it was Zhou Hai who took the initiative to send Meng Xiaodong home.

Although Zhou Hai and Meng Xiaodong have not yet confirmed their "lover" relationship, since the thread of fate has been tied, it is only a matter of time before the two are together.

So, this couple... should be considered a success, right?
While investigating Cheng Ye, Xia Yu is looking for the next destined couple.

Xia Yu followed Cheng Ye all the way, but he didn't expect that he would lose him.

……

In the [Tudi Temple], some people who want to ask the God of Land to bless their homes with peace gathered together and burned incense and knelt down to worship the God of Land.

The statue of the God of Land is placed behind the incense table. People who pray kneel on the prayer mat, express their wishes and then kowtow to express their gratitude.

Today is February 2036, 2, the second day of the second month in the lunar calendar, which is the birthday of the God of Land.

No wonder the [Tudi Temple] is so lively today. Our Tudi God is known as the "God of Wealth and Fortune" so his birthday is naturally lively.

The jar for incense money was full of money, and the incense table was filled with apples, grapes, bananas, and two large plates of potatoes and mochi.

"Lord of the Land, my family just bought a new house and will move in next month. Please bless our Chen family to live in peace! I kowtow to you."

"God of Land, my children are about to go out to do business, please bless them to travel safely. These fruits and incense money are my small gifts, I hope you will accept them." After the woman said this, she immediately placed the offerings she brought on the incense table.

Some people in front who had finished bowing left, and the people in the queue behind took over.

As soon as Xia Yu walked into the [Tudi Temple], he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

"Lord of the Land..." A young lady in her twenties knelt before the statue and began to make a wish with some embarrassment: "I heard that you and Yue Lao were good friends. Could you please ask him for me when my...marriage will come?"

After listening to this, Xia Yu frowned and said: If you want to find a marriage partner, why don't you go to the [Yue Lao Temple] to find my master? Why go to the [Tudi Temple] to make a wish?

It would be fine if there was only one person, but the following few people all asked the God of Land to help them find a marriage.

The most important thing is that those who seek marriage are very generous and the incense jar can no longer hold all of them.

No wonder the incense in the [Yue Lao Temple] is not as popular as the [Tudi Temple]. It turns out that people come here to pray for marriage.

Mortals can't see it, but Xia Yu recognized the true form of the God of Land in the statue. He glanced at the full incense jars and couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "You should just be the landowner and take care of the land. Why are you trying to steal my master's business?"

Although Xia Yu's voice was small, it was still heard by the aunt who was praying devoutly nearby.

"Little girl, don't be rude to the God of Land!" The auntie tugged Xia Yu's hand and forced her to kneel down in front of the statue. She said seriously, "Every time my family encounters a problem, I ask the God of Land for help. Don't disbelieve me, it always works."

"Yes, yes, my son is already in his thirties and has never found a partner. A few months ago, I came to ask the God of Land for help. Hey! Guess what? One month later, my son has a girlfriend. Today, I came to fulfill my wish on the birthday of the God of Land." Another fat aunt said to Xia Yu with a smile on her face, as if to confirm how true what the aunt just said was.

"Oh..." Xia Yu responded with a bit of embarrassment, staring at the lofty statue in front of him, thinking: You are such a good god of the land, not only did you steal my master's business, but you even dare to steal the credit?

"But..." Xia Yu was about to make some excuses for her master. She looked at the two pious aunts and said, "Isn't it Yue Lao who is in charge of matters like 'marriage'? Why are you coming to the Tudi Temple to make a wish instead of going to Yue Lao Temple? Instead of asking Tudi Gong to tell Yue Lao, why don't you just tell him directly?"

"Who said it wasn't?" The fat aunt looked dissatisfied and said, "I went to the [Yue Lao Temple] countless times, but it was useless. I don't know if he was drunk and didn't do anything with the incense. Hey, this time I came to the [Tudi Temple], my wish came true. If you ask me, it's still our Tudi Ye who is in charge." Seeing that Xia Yu was not convinced, the other aunt looked at the pilgrims around warily, and suddenly whispered, "Huh, Yue Lao? I don't know if he is senile. What's the relationship between my grandson and my daughter? I let my grandson pursue my daughter for half a year! The key is that my daughter actually wanted to agree! I had no choice but to confine her to her home."

"Oh my God...this is really too much! Isn't this incest?" said the fat aunt with sympathy.

The aunt regretted what she said as soon as she finished speaking. She originally just wanted to expose Yue Lao's fault, but she forgot that "family disgrace should not be made public."

"Nephew chasing aunt"...

This is indeed... against ethical principles!
Drinking too much... This kind of situation happens from time to time. Coupled with the "disordered marriage line" issue, the marriage of mortals will naturally be affected.

Xia Yu couldn't find a reasonable reason to refute the two aunts for a moment, so he had to remain silent.

but……

There is no doubt that the marriage between her grandson and daughter was caused by the "disordered marriage lines".

"Auntie~." Xia Yu quickly grabbed the aunt who was about to leave and asked, "What are the names of your grandson and daughter?"

"Why are you asking this?" The aunt looked defensive, worried that this "shameful" incident in her family would spread.

There were so many people talking, and as if to avoid any complications, she left the [Tudi Temple] without waiting for Xia Yu to explain.

"Auntie, it's like this." Xia Yu said as he caught up with the auntie and said seriously, "I'm from Yue... Yuexia Lao Ren Marriage Agency. I think the situation you just described may be because they haven't met the right person. How about this, tell me their names and I'll introduce them to someone."

"You are so young... why are you a matchmaker? Wait, are you a liar? I don't have any money to give you, so go away!"

"Auntie...I'm not a liar, I..."

"I see you came to this [Tudi Temple] to seek marriage. You are too busy to take care of others, how can you care about others?"

"No... Auntie, I have a partner." Xia Yu was anxious and was about to ask Luo Fan to come out to shield her, explaining, "Besides, I found my partner because I made a wish at the Yue Lao Temple. If you make a wish, it will work if you are sincere. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Yue Lao Temple again and try. If it doesn't work again, it won't be too late for you to get angry with Yue Lao again."

"Really?"

"Of course."

……

Xia Yu's mouth was watering until his mouth was dry. Only then did the aunt agree to go to the Yue Lao Temple to try again.

In the end, she still didn't tell Xia Yu what the names of her grandson and daughter were.

But even if she didn't say it, Xia Yu could still find out.

By then, their marriage will return to normal, and the aunt will probably believe in Yue Lao again.

This way, while completing the task, I can also save some money for my master, right? Xia Yu thought.
