Because he was a smart kid, Zhou Hu knew from a young age that his family's money had an unusual source.
Although Zhou Hu's dad loved to indulge in eating, drinking, and gambling, quickly squandering all the family's wealth, leading to Zhou Hu's childhood being a constant cycle of poverty, Zhou Hu always felt that the family's money seemed insufficient for his dad's extravagant spending.
Zhou Hu believed theoretically the family shouldn't be in poverty; they should be buried under a mountain of debt. Yet, the family's dilapidated house was never repossessed by debt collectors, so the astute Zhou Hu keenly perceived that his dad had other inexplicable income sources.
Back then, tomb raiding novels and dramas weren't popular, so Zhou Hu had no clue what tomb raiding was. He simply assumed his dad committed some fraud while fortune-telling.
Therefore, even though Zhou Hu learned fortune-telling from a young age, he was very resistant to it, thinking it was just a scam.
