The Star of Disaster and the God of LuckChapter 1
My mom met a Taoist priest when she was pregnant with my brother and me.
The priest pointed at my mom's belly and said, "You're having twin lotus!"
My mom thought he was a fraud and turned to leave.
But what the Taoist priest said next changed my life,
"One of the twins will bring wealth and prosperity, while the other brings poverty and misery."
My mom didn't believe it. But things began to go as the Taoist priest said for some reason.
My family encountered a lot of strange things during my mother's pregnancy.
One day, my dad won the lottery, and the whole family celebrated. But on the following day, he had a car accident and lost all his money.
One day, our family got a huge sum of money for house demolition, and the next day, the developer went bankrupt.
After such things had happened a few times, my parents believed the priest.
"Honey, what are we gonna do? What the Taoist priest said is true."
"Eve, we must give up one baby!"
My mom touched her belly anxiously and said, "But we don't know which one can bring us wealth and prosperity."
My dad looked at my mom's belly and showed a sinister look. "I'll go find that Taoist priest tomorrow."
He had looked for the Taoist priest for three months. Meanwhile, my mom's belly became bigger and bigger.
Things became more and more weird. People even died.
"Honey. Our baby has already caused his grandmother to die before he was born. If he is born, our whole family may also die because of him."
"Don't worry. My friend has already reached the priest. I'll go to meet him tomorrow."
The next afternoon, my dad came back disappointed. He sighed when he looked at my mom's belly.
"What's wrong, honey? The priest can't do anything about it, can he?"
Dad sighed again. "Well, he gave me a pill. If you take it, the jinx will be suppressed, so will be the blessed one."
"What now? The jinx has already made us owe others a lot of money."
My dad thought for a moment and stared at my mom's stomach with his sharp eyes. "You'll take half a pill. Fortune and wealth come from risk."
As my dad spoke, he fed my mom half a pill.
After that day, my family became peaceful, with neither happy events nor disasters.
Then, my brother and I were born.
On the delivery day, my mom had severe stomach pain, and it took her two full days to give birth.
My parents were excited to see my brother, who was a fat little guy.
