If the fortune teller were allowed to recount all the scams the couple had committed over the years, she probably wouldn't finish until tomorrow morning.
So, once he had seen enough, Liu Xiaoyuan told the sorceress to shut up.
The sorceress, like an obedient servant, shut up. Although her husband didn't know why his wife listened to Liu Xiaoyuan so much, he couldn't care less about that at the moment.
Now, what he needs to worry about is whether Liu Xiaoyuan's family will expose the fraud he and his wife have committed over the years. If that happens, not only will their reputation be ruined, but villagers from all around will also come knocking on their door.
Liu Xiaoyuan's mother was furious. Being deceived for so many years would make anyone extremely angry.
Moreover, not only have they been scammed over the years, but they have also lost several thousand yuan in total. Several thousand yuan is an absolute huge sum for my mother.
So, after realizing she had been scammed, her mother was furious and yelled, "Give me my money back!"
My mother grabbed the sorceress's shoulders and shook her vigorously. The sorceress was like a puppet on strings, letting my mother shake her like that.
Liu Xiaoyuan walked to his mother's side and said, "Mom, forget it, the money is a small matter, as long as everyone is alright!"
The purpose of today's event is to let my mother see the true colors of these so-called sages and prevent her from being easily fooled in the future.
Actually, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't really object to his mother's superstitions, because his mother did it for her own good and for the good of the family.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan was unwilling to accept that his mother, who was usually frugal with her food and clothing, was willing to spend hundreds or thousands of yuan after being deceived by these so-called fortune tellers.
If his mother used the money for food and clothing, Liu Xiaoyuan wouldn't have any objections. But if this money were swindled away by these so-called fortune tellers, they might even talk behind his back and call him a fool.
This is why Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to expose the true face of this sorceress, so that his mother could see through these so-called shamans and not be fooled again.
Even if you're superstitious in the future, spending a little money is fine, but there's no need to spend hundreds or thousands.
Of course, Mom wouldn't let the fortune teller off so easily. She said angrily, "No, we can't let her off so easily. She's cheated me so badly all these years. She has to make me pay back all the money she cheated me out of!"
To be honest, this is like buying antiques. Even if you get ripped off and buy a fake, it's a case of one party willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't approve of his mother's unreasonable behavior, but he couldn't say it directly. His mother was angry right now, so he needed to guide her and not add fuel to the fire.
"Mom, forget it. I'll say it again: money is a small matter. As long as our family is doing well, we can just consider that money a loss to ward off disaster," Liu Xiaoyuan said, trying to please her.
Although my mother saw through these so-called fortune tellers as frauds, her superstitious beliefs were still hard to change in a short time.
Sure enough, when she heard Liu Xiaoyuan say that losing money could avert disaster, her mother's anger subsided by more than half.
"Yes, losing money is a way to ward off disaster, as long as our family is healthy and free from illness and disaster..."
Finally, Liu Xiaoyuan threw all the sorceress's belongings out and shouted at the couple, "Get out!"
The sorceress and her husband scrambled out of Liu Xiaoyuan's house in a disheveled state, picked up their belongings outside, and ran away as if their lives depended on it.
That was the end of the matter. Mom was filled with deep remorse for losing several thousand yuan to being scammed over the years, while Liu Xiaoyuan and Dad kept comforting her.
After being comforted by Liu Xiaoyuan and his son, Mom felt a little better, but at dinner time, she said she had no appetite and didn't want to eat.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that it would take his mother several days to recover from this incident, just like the last time the family lost money.
When it comes to things on my mind, only my mom can handle it; there's not much anyone else can do.
"Xiaoyuan, Mom is asking you, since you weren't possessed by anything, what's going on with the windows, your bedroom door, and your bed?" Mom suddenly asked while we were watching TV.
Liu Xiaoyuan was speechless. He had never been able to come up with a good reason to explain this matter.
"Mom, don't ask too many questions about this. Just believe that your son is fine, doing great, and can eat and sleep well!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
The father, Liu Haimin, chimed in, saying, "If the child doesn't want to talk about it, we shouldn't ask. He's grown up now, and we shouldn't worry so much about his own affairs."
After watching TV with his parents for a while, Liu Xiaoyuan went upstairs to tidy up his room. While he was tidying up, Su Xue suddenly flew in. This time, Su Xue didn't come alone; she brought a little girl with her. The little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old and was very cute. She had big eyes, a fair and rosy face, and was so tender that it looked like you could pinch water out of her.
Although the little girl is not young, it is clear that she will grow up to be a beauty just as stunning as Su Xue.
"Damn it! Why are you here again?" As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan saw Su Xue, he remembered the destruction of his bedroom door and bed, and he got angry.
"Big brother!" The little girl called out happily as soon as Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, and then rushed towards Liu Xiaoyuan.
Wow! This little girl is so outgoing! She called me "big brother" as soon as she saw me and even wanted to give me a big hug.
Well, although I'm not a loli enthusiast, seeing such a cute and pretty little girl makes me think that raising a loli might not be such a bad option.
"Hello, little sister!" Liu Xiaoyuan opened his arms, ready to hug the little girl.
"If you dare to try hugging my sister, believe me, I'll chop off your hands!" Su Xue's voice rang out coldly.
Upon hearing Su Xue's words, Liu Xiaoyuan's hands froze in mid-air, letting the little girl hug his waist.
"Sister, don't be so fierce! Big brother is a nice person, I like big brother!" the little girl said innocently.
Wow! Little sister, can we really be this direct? I can't handle it. You're being so blunt, I'm afraid it might be a crime, which could lead to a minimum of three years in prison.
Hearing her sister's words, Su Xue's face grew even colder. She said, "Su Yun, come back, quickly!"
So this little girl's name is Su Yun! It's a pretty ordinary name, but as long as the person doesn't look ordinary, that's fine.
"Sister..." Although Su Yun was unhappy and pouted, she didn't dare disobey her sister and had no choice but to return to Su Xue's side.
"Hey, you're here tonight, are you planning to cause trouble again? Let me tell you, I absolutely won't allow you to cause trouble tonight, or else... or else I'll take back the magical item I gave you!"
If Su Xue causes trouble at home again tonight, Liu Xiaoyuan really won't know how to explain it to his parents. Therefore, to keep Su Xue in line, Liu Xiaoyuan has no choice but to resort to his strongest threat!
