On the first day of the holiday, Xu Damao and his wife Lou Xiao'e rode their 28-inch bicycles to his father-in-law's house.

"My dear father! My beautiful mother! Your daughter and son-in-law are here to see you."

Lou Xiao'e glared at Xu Damao and took a few quick steps forward and said, "I'm not going to go with your conspicuous bag."

"Wife, please slow down."

The more he talked, the faster Lou Xiao'e walked. If you didn't know, you would have thought the couple was having a quarrel.

"Xu Damao, you little bastard, did you bully Zhao Zhao?"

"Mom, please don't wrongly accuse me! My wife is disgusted with me, wuwuwu..."

It's unbearable, absolutely unbearable.

"Get back into the house quickly, you're embarrassing yourself." Lou Bancheng cursed as he stepped one foot inside the door and the other outside.

"Otherwise why do people say that my father-in-law is so powerful and he scolds people with style.

Mom, you have to cook a few more dishes today. Xiao'e and I have been eating vegetarian food these days."

"Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. He almost stretched his cheeks out when he was eating pork stewed with vermicelli and chicken stewed with mushrooms."

"Auntie Zhang bought a lot of tripe today. Let's have a hotpot for lunch." Tan Yali said happily.

Lou Bancheng called his daughter and son-in-law to the study. Without waiting for his father-in-law to ask, Xu Damao took the initiative to tell him what had happened during the days in the Northeast.

"According to what you said, this Mr. Zhao should be a spirit medium, and his head monk should be a senior figure in the Hu family." Lou Bancheng said affirmatively.

"Dad, how come you know everything? Aunt Zhao actually told us that the reason Uncle Zhao has this ability is because he saved a white fox." Xu Damao said.

"Well! You have made a good relationship this time. In the future, send them some rare gifts during festivals."

"I know, Dad." Xu Damao responded.

Lou Bancheng went on to say, "However, you have to be careful. There are many strange people in this world. We cannot have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against them."

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had taken note of it.

Lou Xiao'e interrupted, "Dad, then tell me, are all these spirits here real?"

Lou Bancheng smiled and said, "How can they all be true? The real spirits are foxes, weasels, pythons, snakes, hedgehogs and other animals. After practicing, they absorb the essence of heaven and earth, become spirits and then attach themselves to human bodies to do things. Some of them have great magical powers. They can check what has happened and what will happen in the past and present lives, cure some diseases that cannot be cured by medicine, and help people gather money.

Fake Chu Ma Xian are those people who are greedy for money. They have learned some of the rituals of Chu Ma Xian and take advantage of people's fear and lack of understanding of Chu Ma Xian to cheat people and defraud their money. Some people do not believe in science and are obsessed with it, which has become a true product of feudal superstition.

"If you believe in the existence of a spirit medium, it exists. If you don't believe in it, it doesn't exist. Whether it's superstition or belief, whether it's true or false, you should always keep a respectful heart."

"Oh my! Dad, you are so awesome. How can we identify someone who is pretending to be a ghost?" Xu Damao asked.

"It's easy. As long as you observe carefully, you can find the flaws. The real Chumaxian does things with principles and will not violate morality and laws, while the scammers have no scruples."

"Father-in-law is wise!" Xu Damao praised.

"Okay, stop flattering me." Lou Bancheng scolded with a smile, "When you go back, don't spread this matter around, so as not to cause trouble."

"Don't worry, Dad. We know the seriousness of the matter," said Lou Xiao'e.

"Okay, let's go out for dinner." Lou Bancheng said, standing up.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e followed him out of the study. The family sat around the dining table, enjoying the delicious hot pot.

At the dinner table, everyone was eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Lou Xiao'e picked up a piece of tripe, put it in the pot and rinsed it, and asked casually: "Dad, do you think there are really other strange people in the world?"

Lou Bancheng took a sip of wine and said slowly, "Of course there are, but it's hard for ordinary people like us to meet them. Most of these extraordinary people are hidden in the market or live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, unknown to the public."

Xu Damao listened with great interest and interrupted, "If we are lucky enough to meet them, can we learn some skills from them?"

Lou Bancheng shook his head and laughed, "How can it be that easy? These people's abilities are acquired through years of practice, how can they be learned casually? Besides, they may not be willing to teach others."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "Yes, you still have to rely on your own efforts to learn skills. However, after hearing what Dad said, I am more interested in this world."

"Zhao Zhao, don't think about those things. We are just ordinary people. We just want to live in peace." Tan Yali said to her daughter.

"I understand, mother. I am just curious, but I dare not learn any magic to slay demons and monsters."

"You're still slaying demons and monsters, but you can't stop howling when you see a mouse. You should just be a good girl and behave like a good mother!"

"My dearest mother! Could you please not be so considerate of my past?"

"You can handle as much as your hands can hold, and you can do as much as your abilities can.

Everything has its rules, and everything has its laws.

You should know when to stop doing things, and don't do things beyond your ability. Do you understand?" Tan Yali said in a surprising way.

"Yeah! Mom, I understand now."

"You just know how to fool me." Tan Yali looked at Xu Damao and said, "Damo, don't indulge Zhaozhao too much. This child has been a stubborn child since she was young. The more you forbid her to do something, the more she will do it. It's not that her temper is bad, but she is a double-edged sword. If she wields it well, it will bring blessings to herself, but if she wields it badly, it will create her own grave."

"Don't worry, mom. I won't let Xiao'e get into danger."

"Well! A husband must protect his wife before a wife can care for her family. As long as the two of you can be safe and happy, I will be able to rest assured when your father and I leave for another country.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her mother with wet eyes and couldn't stop crying.

"Don't cry, silly girl. Even if your parents are gone, it's only temporary. When the situation stabilizes, our family will be reunited."

Lou Xiao'e knew that no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't let her parents stay.

At this moment, she hated herself a little, hated herself for being useless, hated herself for being greedy for Xu Damao's beauty and not wanting to go with her parents.

Life is like this. At certain critical moments, we may face difficult choices, especially when these choices involve the most important people in our lives - parents and husbands.

On one side are her parents who have raised her for many years and given her endless love and support. On the other side is her husband who promised to spend the rest of his life with her. Both are an indispensable part of her life. Such a choice is cruel and the most painful.

Fortunately, Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali are open-minded parents.

They are open-minded and will not impose their own ideas and expectations on Lou Xiao'e. They understand Lou Xiao'e's needs and feelings and give her appropriate support and encouragement.

They would not let Lou Xiao'e fall into a dilemma, and they were even more reluctant to let their daughter go with them to an unknown world.

They are willing to overcome all difficulties for their daughter, even to the extent of expanding the territory.

These are parents, the most selfless people in the world who love you without asking for anything in return.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e said goodbye to their parents and rode home. Along the way, they recalled every word their parents said today and felt that they had gained a lot.
