"Yes, when I just got married, I heard from the neighborhood in my ex-husband’s village that my mother-in-law used to be a divine mother in their village. Every family in the village will go to my mother-in-law to ask for a talisman and put it into the water for their children to drink whenever they cry at night for no reason. However, my ex-husband and I have been working outside and rarely go home, so I haven’t seen her do these things.” Ma Rui’s face looked a little ugly: “Is it possible that my mother-in-law is good with things like this?"
Lin Qingyin sighed lightly: "In the past, there were many scholars with profound knowledge in metaphysics, but with the change of dynasties, many of them lost their inheritance. Some ancient books and techniques about metaphysics were left to common people for various reasons. These techniques were learned by the common people and passed around. Some people even dare to pretend like one of them to fool around. It's good if they were doing good deeds, but what's disgusting is, many people were evil-minded. These techniques have become their means to harm others."
Ma Rui couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard those words. Her face also turned pale: "Master, how did my mother-in-law harm me?"
Lin Qingyin stretched out her hand and gently patted Little Min on the back: "Is your mother-in-law patriarchal?"
"She's very patriarchal. Every day, she will say that my ex-husband is the only seedling of their family for five generations. If I don’t have a son, I will be the sinner of their family. To tell you the truth, there is nothing else in her head but her grandson is her lifeblood.” The more Ma Rui spoke, the more she got angry: “I was really blind to marry into such a family. In the beginning, my ex-husband was like a decent person. He also said every day that having a son or a daughter is the same, but in the end, he has the same virtue as his mother. If it weren't for the of them, I wouldn't…"
When Lin Qingyin saw that she was getting more and more emotional when she talked about her uterus, she quickly changed the topic: "Now let's talk about the soup."
Ma Rui returned to her senses and quickly shut up. She looked at Lin Qingyin gratefully. She has lost confidence in marriage and has no idea of remarrying. However, but in a place like a countryside where big events spread widely, she doesn't want to expose her private life to the public to become a big dish for others to talk about.
Lin Qingyin looked at the villagers sitting in the house. Some of them were loyal and others liked to talk. Lin Qingyin didn't want outsiders to hear about Little Min. After all, Little Min will grow up in this village. She doesn't want this child to be pointed with fingers by others while growing up.
"Grandma, you take the others to the next room first. I will call them after the problem with Little Min has been solved."
Grandmother Zheng immediately understood what her granddaughter meant. She smiled while holding the water bottle and said: "Let's go to the room next door house and drink water."
Bai Juan, as a big fan of the little master, naturally agreed immediately. She asked her brother and nephew to go back home first, then she and her sister-in-law helped Grandmother Zheng to greet the guests. Of the remaining five clients, three got up happily, one hesitated, while the other just sat without moving and sat cross-legged on the Kang and even said: "I'm not going. How will I know if this girl's divination is accurate if I go? What if she and Old Ma's daughter is just working together to cheat me of money?"
Bai Juan's facial expression drastically changed. She couldn't help but say: "Old Lady Zhou, your son Zhou Laosan forced my brother to buy your low-grade tombstone at a high price during the Qingming Festival. I haven't settled this account with you yet. Don't make trouble for here."
