A minor argument in front of a man’s house turned into a viral sensation on Chinese social media after people believed they had a chance to steal a rich family’s good fortune, according to multiple media outlets.

A man, surnamed Bo, told a woman not turn her car around in front of his house in Jiangmen City in China’s southern province of Guangdong, according to Chinese media outlet KNews. Bo said in a recorded argument that making a U-turn in front of his house would take away his family’s good fortune. His belief was rooted in Fengshui, a type of Chinese geomancy.
