During this period, many customers came because of the reputation, bringing unprecedented business to the snake farm.

It had reached a point where demand exceeded supply, so we had to buy snake seedlings from other snake breeders in the village.

My father had become the wealthiest snake farm owner in the village.

My father looked at my brother with a radiant expression.

I looked up at my father, tears falling uncontrollably, and said pitifully, "Dad, during this time, I have been breastfeeding my brother, but he refuses to eat at all. He keeps biting me and drinking my blood. It hurts so much. Is my brother sick?"

Upon hearing this, my father paused for a moment, then his expression turned joyful. "No wonder he's growing so fast, that's why.

"An'an, your brother has a special constitution. In order for him to survive, we can only inconvenience you."

I choked softly.

Seeing my lack of response, he changed the subject, "An'an, you are a good daughter to me. When I joked before about marrying you to Old Li, you won't blame me, will you?"

"How could I? I know you love me, Dad."

My father patted my head with satisfaction, and I knew I wouldn't be married off to Old Li for the time being.

But that night, in a half-dream state, I felt something wet on my face, as if something was moving all over me.

Then suddenly, a chill ran through me as my clothes were being removed.

I woke up in terror, surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything.

I could only feel someone pressing down on me.

The hot breath and strong smell made me nauseous.

I screamed and struggled, but the person in front of me wouldn't budge.

He seemed even more excited, tearing off my last piece of clothing.

The scorching heat against my skin made me panic, and I couldn't resist.

The man groped urgently.

Just when I thought it was all over, there was a sudden lightness on me, and something sprayed on my face.

The man collapsed straight down.

I stood there dumbfounded for a moment, trembling as I felt for the light switch.

The light came on, and I struggled to adjust to the bright light, seeing Old Li lying lifeless on the floor.

How did Old Li end up here? The doors at home are always locked at night. How did he get in?

Strangely, there were two bite marks on his neck, the major artery clearly severed, with dark blood gushing out.

I suppressed the urge to scream and tried to gather my thoughts.

Just that day, my father said he wouldn't marry me off to Old Li, yet at night, he sneaked into my room.

How could this be so coincidental?

My intuition told me this was related to my father, so I couldn't tell him for now.

The scene in the room frightened me, so I decided to seek refuge at the snake farm for a while.

Moreover, I wanted to confirm one thing.
