Capital—

Food factory Jiashuyuan, in the shantytown area.

"Waaah, waaah, waaah."

"Quack, quack, quack."

"Woof, woof, woof."

A burst of sharp sounds from an infant imitating animals made the neighbors extremely annoyed.

It wasn't that no one went to lecture or scold them.

It was just that the infant was too eerie!

Whenever someone went to find Zhang Xuemei to reason with her, that deformed infant would stare at them with those pitch-black eyes, and then they would either fall down, chip a tooth, or their family would suffer a disaster!

Ominous, yes, it was ominous!

If it weren't for the fact that feudal superstition wasn't allowed now, they would have wanted to find a Taoist priest or monk to exorcise the evil!

It was too evil!

Therefore, no one went to find Zhang Xuemei anymore; they avoided her as much as they could!

Speaking of which, those Zhou father and son were really not good people. Ever since Zhang Xuemei gave birth to the freak, the two father and son had been hands-off, ignoring everything.

Later, the father moved away; it was said he went to live with an old lady who had good conditions.

Zhou Haitao was said to have been transferred away due to a lifestyle issue. When he left, he didn't tell anyone, and no one knew where he had been transferred to.

Zhang Xuemei went to the factory to make a scene several times, but the people in the factory just watched the joke and didn't say the specific place.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhou Haitao must have climbed a high branch and abandoned Zhang Xuemei and her son!

Some people had their eyes on the Zhou family's shack in the food factory Jiashuyuan, but Zhang Xuemei threatened them with a kitchen knife to their necks, saying that whoever dared to grab her house, she would die at the gate of the food factory!

She wouldn't die in vain; she would call reporters, call the Public Security Bureau, and in front of all the public officials, say that the food factory director forced her to death!

The factory leaders were cowed; after all, it was a human life, and their own reputation was important!

Just like that, Zhang Xuemei wasn't kicked out and successfully occupied Zhou Haitao's house.

It couldn't be said to be occupying; she had already registered her marriage with Zhou Haitao, they were husband and wife.

As long as Zhou Haitao was still a part of the food factory, she had the right to continue living with her son!

Whoever dared to bully her, she had a hundred ways to retaliate!

At first, people felt she was pitiful, then they felt she was hateful, and now, they just felt she was a lunatic and avoided her!

Because no one helped her look after the child and she had to make a living, she had to lock her son at home during the day and prepare some food on the side.

At night, she dragged her tired body home to clean up.

In less than a year, she looked like an old woman!

Her hair was gray, she had a pile of wrinkles, her complexion was sallow, and her hands were covered with calluses and frostbite marks.

Looking like this, where was the glory and beauty she had when she was Mrs. Lu?

Before, she held her head high and chest out; now, she wished she could lower her head below her chest, not wanting to be recognized by acquaintances...

It wasn't that she hadn't looked for her daughter, but in the vast sea of people, except for her son-in-law's family, she had no clues at all!

Sometimes she even doubted if her daughter's talk of rebirth was just a delusion.

If rebirth would lead to this, she would rather not have been reborn!

Now, she had become an abandoned woman, lonely and helpless, old, and despised by everyone!

She also had to support her deformed son and save up for his surgery fees!

Damn it!

The Zhou father and son were not good people!

Since the son was born, they hadn't appeared again!

Now they were nowhere to be found, hiding from her, not paying child support!

Why, these people all deserved to die!

"Click."

Unlocking and pushing open the door, a foul stench hit her.

Then there was the smell of urine, the smell of mold...

Normal people couldn't stand this atmosphere; it was like living in a public toilet, living in a garbage dump.

If it were the Zhang Xuemei of the past, who lived in luxury, she wouldn't even have set foot in here, but the current her could step over obstacles without blinking, not even looking at the child crawling on the ground playing with feces, walking straight to the inner room, taking off her shoes, sitting on a chair to eat steamed buns and pickles, not giving half a glance to the child on the ground.

"Eeya, eeya."

The infant was angry, glaring fiercely at this irresponsible mother.

As a demon, he hadn't encountered a human with such a foul soul for a long time.

Why was he inexplicably unhappy?

Didn't human mothers love their children to the bone?

Why could this old woman be so cold, treating him, her own flesh and blood, like a stray dog?

He was hungry!

The human cub's body was very fragile and not easy to use at all!

He missed his animal medium body—free, hunting to eat when hungry, never being locked in a room, unable to go anywhere!

"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is how to demand debts! You are as selfish as your grandfather and your unreliable father!"

Zhang Xuemei chewed the steamed bun fiercely, her eyes and heart full of disgust and hatred for this deformed son!

That's right, if it weren't for this child, she wouldn't have been discovered by Lu Mingyuan for her affair!

She wouldn't have been divorced and forced to be with Zhou Haitao!

Yes, that's it!

The root of all evil was this monster!

It was all him; he caused her to take one wrong step after another!

She hated this child immensely, so how could she care for him or care about his life or death?

Treating this child so badly, yet this child had actually endured it!

He was still alive, still had the strength to cry and make a fuss...

"Really like a ghost that won't go away."

Zhang Xuemei threw half a steamed bun, and the bun rolled to the infant's hand.

The dirty steamed bun, the infant didn't mind, grabbing it directly into his mouth to chew.

He was a demon, without human emotions or desires, without a sense of taste; he ate whatever was given to him, and his body was very tough.

It was just that being trapped in this infant's body, many methods couldn't be exerted.

But a few small tricks, he could still manage...

Man proposes, God disposes, let alone a young demon body that hadn't yet encountered the poison of society?

After eating half a steamed bun, the little guy soon fell to the ground and passed out.

"If you want to blame someone, blame your grandfather and your father. I just want to survive, and you are a burden, a drag."

"Since I gave you this life, this life is mine, and it should be returned to me..."

Zhang Xuemei laughed triumphantly. While talking to herself, she searched everywhere. After finding a blanket, she hurriedly gave the unconscious child a bath, wrapped him in the blanket, stuffed him into a bag, and left only a gap.

Night fell, and the stars were dotted.

Zhang Xuemei sneakily carried the basket and disappeared from the Jiashuyuan.

More than two hours later, when she returned, she was alone.

She didn't disturb anyone, and since her relationship with all the neighbors in the Jiashuyuan had deteriorated, no one cared about her.

It was just that a few neighbors discovered that their sleep quality was much better tonight!

That little evil star from the Zhou family didn't cry or make a fuss?!

Let's see tomorrow if he won't make a fuss anymore!

Without the annoying crying, Zhang Xuemei slept exceptionally sweetly. In her dream, she dreamed that her daughter came back driving a small car, bought her a big gold bracelet, bought her a fashionable coat, vanishing cream, gave her a box of banknotes, and wanted to take her to enjoy life...

This dream was so good, so good that she didn't want to wake up.

In fact, she really didn't wake up.

The curse of the little demon god was not something to be trifled with...
