Fortune telling at the beginning of the year

- I have to tell you this right away. Please advise me where to look. This morning, my husband just opened the door and was startled to see a striped snake lying across the front gate. He kept trying to beat it with a broom.

- Oh no, I heard that snakes usually come in pairs. If you are unlucky enough to kill one, the other will definitely find a way to take revenge. If you see a pair and are sure to kill them both, then kill them. Otherwise, find a way to chase them away - Mrs. Nham was scared when she heard that there were snakes near her house.

- No, no… I stopped him. Later I called Mr. Cuong who lives across the street to help chase him away.

- Oh, I'm so scared. My street is near the river so I see snakes sometimes. So scary. But what did you say I should see? - Only then did Mrs. Nham remember Mrs. Tinh's request.

- A few years ago, two years in a row my family saw a snake in front of the door, and both years there were deaths. My third uncle was working in the Czech Republic, he died without any illness. Then the following year my fifth uncle died in a traffic accident. This year I saw a snake again, I'm so scared. Tell me where you often have your fortune told.

Seeing the two women talking, Mrs. Nham's daughter interjected:

- I just saw online that they recommend many good fortune telling places in Hai Duong. The question is, do you like fortune telling by cards, betel leaves or physiognomy?

Mr. Ky, Mrs. Nham's husband, just entered the door and heard that, he immediately said:

- In this day and age, do you still believe in fortune telling? Will you find a solution to prevent risks or will you just add more worries to your life? My house is near the river, so seeing snakes occasionally is normal. You shouldn't worry too much.

Mrs. Tinh's husband also said to Sang:

- Uncle Ky said that, have you realized yet? I told you that the story of the snake and the story of Uncle Ba and Uncle Nam were just coincidences. Every year, so many people die from strokes or traffic accidents, it's not possible that all their houses have snakes crawling through them. Don't waste your money on such superstitious nonsense.

- I thought that if you worship, you will be blessed, if you abstain, you will be safe. Now that you say so, then forget it - Mrs. Tinh said dejectedly.
