I had just brought the things back home when I heard my mom scream.

In the room, my sister-in-law was lying quietly on the bed, and my mom was holding the newborn baby boy, preparing to breastfeed him. Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law didn't move.

My mom held the baby and started shouting, "She's dead, she's dead! Xiulan died in childbirth!"

My brother rushed in, grabbed my sister-in-law's arm, and started shaking it. "Xiulan, don't scare me. You were fine just now. How did you suddenly stop moving?"

"She must be angry with us, right? She definitely blames us for not letting you see the child!"

No matter how much my brother shook my sister-in-law and how loudly my mom yelled, she remained motionless on the bed, with a lifeless face and a body as pale as paper.

No, in my eyes, she had already become a paper person!

I suddenly remembered that the paper artisan had said those who committed a grave taboo would die, and the paper people would come back to kill!

I pointed at my sister-in-law's body and said, "Mom, Xiulan broke a major taboo in paper folding to have a baby boy, and now the paper person has come back for revenge!"

My mom was stunned for a moment and let go of the baby in her hands.

She rushed over and slapped me hard across the face, causing my nose to bleed profusely.

"You wretched thing! Your sister-in-law died in childbirth, and you're talking about paper people? I think you've spent too much time at the paper folding shop, behaving like a lunatic, spouting crazy nonsense!"

"Their family deserved to burn to death. They're all crazy!"

"Don't you dare mention paper people again, or I'll beat you to death!"

She kicked me a few times.

I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak, and I felt like the lunch I had eaten was about to be kicked out.

After beating me, my mom started crying and screaming in front of my sister-in-law again.

It was so strange.

Clearly, it was my mom who had sought help from the paper artisan, but now she was calling him a lunatic.

And she wouldn't let me mention paper people.

But my sister-in-law had indeed turned into a paper person!
