Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Early the next morning, Li Xiulan saw Wang Xiaohua to the highway to take the bus.

When the bus arrived, Li Xiulan still did not forget to remind him:

"Remember, rent a house first, then go visit your Uncle Chunsheng's family, that way he won't be able to force you to stay."

Wang Xiaohua nodded repeatedly:

"I know, Mom, I'm getting on the bus."

Wang Xiaohua got on the bus, paid the fare, then found a seat by the window and sat down.

Li Xiulan watched Wang Xiaohua leave, then took a car to the neighboring town to ask the Shenpo.

The town she was going to was her maternal home's town, that town was in the opposite direction, so she couldn't take the county town's bus there, she had to take a passenger minivan.

Li Xiulan came to the town, she bought some oranges, went to visit her eldest and second brothers, then went to ask the Shenpo.

After all, it was rare to make a trip, naturally she should visit them on the way.

At this time her eldest brother Li Yaozu and second brother Li Jiahao had both built their own new buildings.

Although not large, nor high, just around one hundred square meters, two-story small buildings, yet it made Li Xiulan envious.

Other people's buildings were all completed so smoothly.

Why did her family's building always run into this and that problem?

"Little sister, how is your new building coming along?"

While drinking tea at her eldest brother's house, Li Yaozu casually asked a sentence.

After all, the matter of building a new building, last year during the Spring Festival, Li Xiulan had already mentioned it when she came here to visit relatives.

"Sigh, don't mention it, originally the rough shell was almost done, your brother-in-law had a cerebral infarction relapse, hospitalization cost a lot of money, now work has stopped."

Li Xiulan sighed.

Li Yaozu's expression became heavy, politely said:

"If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some on my end, but I'm afraid I can't lend much, at most ten thousand, you also know, my family isn't well-off either."

Li Xiulan hurriedly said:

"No need, I came here today to ask the Shenpo, just happened to come in to see you and second brother, speaking of which, why isn't second brother at home?"

Li Yaozu's stern expression softened considerably:

"He went to work at the chemical plant over in Donghua, won't be back until evening, his wife followed his son to the city, so there's no one at home."

Donghua is not far north of this town, there are many chemical plants there.

"Oh, oh, is that so..." Li Xiulan nodded in response, "Then when he comes back in the evening, you hand this bag of fruit to him for me, just say little sister came to see him."

"Fine, just put it here."

"It's getting late, I have to go ask the Shenpo." Li Xiulan put down her teacup, stood up to leave.

"Not staying for lunch?" Li Yaozu politely urged her to stay.

"No, your brother-in-law isn't very mobile right now, I have to hurry back to make him lunch."

【37 "Fine then, when I have time I'll go see your brother-in-law again, wish him a speedy recovery! Something this big happened, indeed one should ask the Shenpo, see if there's some dirty thing causing trouble, if there is, must hurry to clear it."

"Fine then. Turning back, I'll find time to visit my sister's husband again and wish him an early Recovery. Indeed, after something this big, we should Ask God whether there's some unclean thing causing trouble, and if there is, Urging to clear it away quickly."

"Mm, I know, eldest brother, I'm leaving."

Li Xiulan bade farewell to her eldest brother, alone she hurried to the town market.

She had been to the Shenpo's residence several times before, so this visit she knew the way well.

Soon she arrived at the Shenpo's home.

Outside the Shenpo's courtyard, it was still full of guests.

Most were middle-aged and elderly people like her.

While Li Xiulan was queuing, she met again the guest who had spoken to her before.

The two had run into each other several times asking the Shenpo, and had become fairly familiar.

That guest saw Li Xiulan, and smilingly asked:

"Didn't expect you to come again today, what are you coming to ask about?"

"Something happened at home, my son for some reason suddenly changed temperament, cursed his own father to his face, as a result caused his own father a cerebral hemorrhage, hospitalization and surgery cost a lot of money, fortunately he saved his life, we think it might be some evil spirit causing trouble, so came to ask, what about you, what are you coming to ask?"

Li that guest said:

"My son had a car accident outside, he's not too badly hurt, but he has to compensate the other party a lot of money, so also came to ask."

The two politely chatted a lot.

Both lamenting and sympathizing with each other's family misfortune.

Soon, finally it was Li Xiulan's turn in line.

Li Xiulan had just entered, before she could open her mouth, the Shenpo said:

"Looking at your yintang turning black, something big must have happened at your home recently, your husband had a cerebral hemorrhage, right?"

Li Xiulan was immediately extremely surprised:

"Immortal Granny, you're absolutely right!"

The Shenpo said calmly and at ease:

"I not only know your husband had a cerebral hemorrhage, I also know it was angered by your son, your family's feng shui has big problems!"

Li Xiulan was even more surprised, at the same time, she was full of admiration.

"Immortal Grandma, what should we do?"

The Shenpo asked:

"Has your family's grave been relocated before?"

"Yes, it was relocated not long ago."

"That grave's feng shui seems fine, but it clashes with your family. Go back and hire a Geography Master to find a new Feng Shui Treasure Land, and all this will naturally resolve itself."

"Thank you, Shenpo. We were just thinking of doing exactly that!"

Li Xiulan believed the Shenpo's words without a doubt, already treating her like a deity.

After all, her divination was so accurate; before Li Xiulan even opened her mouth, the Shenpo had already accurately divined what she came to ask.

With a Shenpo this accurate, if she didn't believe her, who could she believe?

"But grave relocation is a Big Thing. You want to relocate, but your relatives may not agree. So go back and communicate properly."

The Shenpo spoke another sentence.

Li Xiulan nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, okay. I'll go back and definitely get the grave relocated."

Li Xiulan only cared about the grave relocation. As for communication, Wang Zhanggen's second brother would have to agree even if he disagreed. After all, with such a Big Thing happening in their own family, if he dared obstruct, worst case they'd fall out completely.

Li Xiulan gave the Shenpo Two Hundred, left the Shenpo's place, feeling completely satisfied.

But she had just stepped into the Courtyard when she saw a young man stride in furiously, loudly driving all customers away:

"All of you leave, hurry up and leave. Don't come to my house again. My mom isn't some Immortal Grandma at all. She deceived you. She doesn't even know she has Cancer herself, so what can she divine for you!"

Turned out, the young man who entered was none other than the Shenpo's son.

The crowd of customers waiting outside to Ask God all wore looks of shock.

The Shenpo's son grabbed the customer who had just been speaking with Li Xiulan and pulled him over:

"This is one of my mom's plants. The reason she divines so accurately is because plants chat you up and fish out your information. There are no immortals in this world at all. You all go, don't come here anymore!"

The Shenpo came out trembling at this moment, her face full of anger:

"Son, what are you doing! You want to anger me to death, don't you!"

The Shenpo's son hurried over, crying as he said:

"Mom, please stop fortune telling, okay? Burning incense in this room all day is bad for your lungs. Your Lung Cancer was clearly caused by inhaling too much incense smoke!"

"Nonsense. This incense is for worshipping gods. Inhaling a few more breaths of incense smoke might grant longevity. How could it cause illness?"

"It's because you've deceived too many people. The Bodhisattva couldn't stand your deception, so this is the Revenge/retaliation. Please stop fortune telling. You know better than anyone that stuff is a scam!"

The Shenpo stubbornly retorted:

"How is that deception? I at least gave them Psychological Comfort, let them have Peace of Mind!"

The Shenpo's son hurriedly drove all customers away:

"Go on, go on. Don't come again. My mom won't fortune tell anymore!"

"Don't drive them away. I haven't finished my divination yet!"

"Mom, from now on just focus on treatment. Stop being a Shenpo... Everyone leave! Did you hear? Don't come to my house again. My mom doesn't fortune tell anymore!"

Li Xiulan was driven out along with the other customers.

Her face full of astonishment, her heart lake rippled with waves, unable to calm for a long time.

She was somewhat dazed.

The Shenpo who had always foreseen things like a deity, turned out to be a fraud. This can't be right.

If the Shenpo is a fraud, then what were all those past pleas to gods and inquiries of immortals?

The family passing through crises multiple times using the methods the Shenpo gave — what was that?

Clearly it was always spiritually efficacious, and very useful.

How could it be a fraud?
