Reborn as a scavenger mom who turns into a powerful villain

"Just like in the past people did not understand the cause of lightning and thought it was the anger of the gods, now we know it is the discharge of electric charges in the clouds."

"Things like fortune-telling seem accurate, but in fact they mostly take advantage of people's psychological hints and vague language descriptions to give people the illusion that they are 'accurate'. For example, a fortune-teller says that you can have a baby if you avoid bad people, which is a very vague and general statement."

"First of all, there is no clear definition of who is a villain, and having a child is affected by many factors, including physical health, living environment, psychological state, etc. It cannot be simply attributed to avoiding a so-called villain or evil spirit."

"Through rigorous experiments and research, science can find the specific factors that really affect fertility and provide effective solutions."

"Fortune-telling only gives you an illusory psychological comfort, allowing you to grasp a straw that seems to point you in the right direction when you are confused."

Liu Duan spoke at a steady pace and clearly, trying to make Qin Yi understand what he meant.

Qin Yi was eager to win. "Why is the fortune teller so accurate? He said that as long as I avoid that villain and isolate the evil spirit, I can have a baby! Look, I went to the hospital for a check-up. There is evidence, right? Then Duanduan, tell me how science can explain this?"

Qin Yi raised her voice a few notches higher, staring straight at Liu Duan, as if she was unwilling to admit defeat. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her body leaned forward slightly, as if she was defending her point of view.

Liu Duan gently held Qin Yi's hand and said gently, "Dear, the hospital's test results are based on scientific testing methods and data analysis, which are true and reliable. The so-called accuracy of fortune-telling is often a coincidence or the result of your own psychological identification."

"Maybe the fortune teller gave you some hints, causing you to subconsciously think and act in the direction he said, and then when some situations that match what he said appear, you think he was right."

"But this is not a real prediction, but a psychological misleading. We must believe in science and solve problems through scientific methods, rather than relying on superstitious statements that have no scientific basis." Liu Duan's eyes were full of care and understanding, hoping to resolve Qin Yi's stubbornness.

Qin Yi retorted: "But I really think some of what he said is right. For example, he said that I would have some minor troubles recently, and it turned out that I really encountered some unpleasant things at work." Qin Yi's eyes still contained a hint of confusion and bewilderment, and her brows were furrowed even tighter.

Liu Duan patiently explained: "My dear, this may just be a common probability problem. There are always all kinds of unpleasant things in life, and the fortune teller's random words will always come true. But this does not prove that he can really predict the future."

"Think about it, didn't he speak vaguely, without specific time, place and event details? If he could really predict accurately, why didn't he tell you exactly what to do to avoid these troubles?" Liu Duan's tone was still gentle, but a little more anxious, wanting Qin Yi to understand the truth.

Qin Yi frowned and said, "What if he really has special abilities?" There was a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if she was still looking for a reason for the accuracy of fortune-telling.

Liu Duan shook his head and said, "Baby, there is no supernatural special ability in this world. If there is, it needs to be scientifically verified before it can be recognized. We can't blindly believe in those unfounded things just because of some coincidences."

"Science is based on evidence and experiments, not feelings and guesses. You see, modern medicine has found many ways to treat diseases through scientific research, which has ensured people's health; the development of science and technology has made our lives more convenient and comfortable. These are the power of science."

Liu Duan's eyes were firm, hoping to break the superstitious ideas in Qin Yi's heart.

Qin Yi refuted again: "But there are some ancient legends and mysterious phenomena that science cannot explain clearly. For example, those mysterious disappeared civilizations and some supernatural phenomena, can they all be attributed to coincidence or psychological effects?"

Liu Duan responded: "Dear, those ancient legends and mysterious phenomena are precisely because our current science has not yet developed to the point where they can be fully explained, but this does not mean that they can never be explained."

"With the continuous progress of science, there may be answers in the future. But before there is solid scientific evidence, we cannot easily believe those unfounded speculations and superstitious claims."

Qin Yi was silent for a while, as if thinking about Liu Duan's words, and then slowly said: "Maybe what you said makes sense, but I still find it a little hard to accept in my heart."

Liu Duan gently embraced Qin Yi in his arms and said, "Dear, I know it takes time to change our mindset, but we must believe in science to better face the problems in life and make the right decisions."

Qin Yi leaned in Liu Duan's arms, nodded gently, and said, "Okay, I'll try to think more about your words."

Qin Yi knew that what Liu Duan said made sense, but somehow, the sense of identity brought by that reason was far less than the comfort brought by her deep dependence on the fortune teller. Her flustered heart still involuntarily wanted to seek a little comfort from the fortune teller.

For example, today Ruan Qingshu called and said that she couldn't get pregnant before the ninth month of the lunar calendar. If she did get pregnant, it would be dangerous after a while, and it was not just ordinary danger. This news was like a heavy stone weighing on her heart. She wanted to see if there was any way to turn danger into safety.

While Liu Duan was washing dishes in the kitchen, Qin Yi quietly slipped into the bathroom like a guilty child and locked the door carefully. She leaned against the door, took a deep breath, her face full of nervousness and anticipation, took out her cell phone with trembling hands, and dialed Ruan Qingshu's number.

Liu Duan was washing dishes in the kitchen with his hands and feet, splashing water everywhere. He had a satisfied look on his face, thinking that he and Qin Yi would have a good rest soon. After a while, he had finished washing the dishes.

Liu Duan wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen. The living room was brightly lit, with warm lights in every corner, but Qin Yi's figure was missing. He frowned and said to himself in confusion, "Going to take a shower?" Then he walked towards the bedroom.

Just then, he heard a voice coming from the bathroom -

"Qingshu, tell the gentleman to wait for me there tomorrow. I need his help!" Qinyi lowered her voice, but she didn't know that the sound insulation of this bathroom was not good. Her face was full of anxiety, and her eyes were fixed on the phone, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
