Upon entering the Zhao Family, Gu Tong’s first impression was that it was gaudy, with the entire place covered in colorful ribbons and various patterns.
The incense burning in the living room was so pungent that it stung the eyes, the sll extrely unpleasant.
On a yellow mat, Zhao sat with her hair down, looking like a ghost, wearing an exaggerated hat and wrapping a waist drum around herself. She was making gestures and chanting, while tapping and saying, "Sendzi Niangniang, turn around, crawl under the lamp post, give birth to a boy! Crawl under the lamp post, give birth to a boy!"
"..." She had no objections about praying to the Sendzi Niangniang, but how did it turn into an opera? The tune was exactly the sa...
Gu Tong’s initial anger was completely dispelled by Zhao’s supernatural act and ridiculous dance, and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing, "pfft."
However, this laugh had serious consequences.
Unhappy, Zhao glared at her with eyes that were as scary as those of a dead sheep.
Mama Li quickly beca alert, tugged at her sleeve, and warned her, "If the Sendzi Niangniang cos and hears you laugh, she will be angry!"
After saying that, she swiftly pulled Gu Tong to sit on the mat opposite Zhao, and watched her attentively, fearing she might do sothing inappropriate.
Gu Tong rolled her eyes but said no more, simply watching their performance.
After jumping around for a while, perhaps tired, Zhao finally stopped, leaning against the mat and taking a breath, saying, "It’s not that I’m not helping you; it’s just that your daughter-in-law’s illness is quite serious, it’s a bit tricky..."
Starting with such a difficult problem is truly a classic fortuneteller tactic.
However, Mama Li played along nervously, "Wh-What happened..."
"Your daughter-in-law committed many sins in her past life, destined for a life of misfortune, a jinx to her husband and children. I barely managed to speak a few words with the Sendzi Niangniang, and she offended her. The Sendzi Niangniang is very unhappy..."
"This..." A jinx to husband and children...
Upon hearing this, Mama Li couldn’t help but distance herself from Gu Tong a bit. Even though she knew it was fake, it didn’t seem auspicious, and she said, "Is there any way to redy this..."
"It’s a bit difficult." Zhao shook her head, saying, "Your son is blessed with longevity and a prosperous career, with a great fate, but he happened to et her, and all his blessings were jinxed away... Seeking a child now is even more difficult..."
"All his blessings were jinxed away..." Mama Li didn’t expect Zhao to be so effective, and said, "I said before not to let my son marry her, but he wouldn’t listen and insisted on bringing her ho... Now look, brought a jinx into the family, what can we do now..."
With that, she started to make a scene, venting all her unwillingness, "Why is my fate so bitter..."
As Mama Li perford, Zhao couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her eye, secretly thinking she over-acted, she quickly said, "However, there is a way to make up for it, if the Sendzi Niangniang doesn’t work, we can try other ans, get soone to bring so dicine, I’ve already arranged for it, it will be delivered shortly!"
The fortuneteller does have so ’skills’, knowing how to wrap things up and get the practical matters done.
Mama Li relaxed after hearing this, wiped her tears, and said, "Then I leave it to you..."
Such deceitful acts, Zhao had done many, familiar with the ropes, it was nothing new to her. With that thought, she lowered her wrist, muttering under her breath, and then secretly exerted force, as if rubbing sothing.
After a while, she suddenly turned her hand over as if performing a magic trick, producing a package of ’Talismanic dicine’, saying, "Consider yourselves lucky! The dicine has arrived!"
