The sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

But she's getting thinner and thinner, her once robust physique now resembling a dried corpse.

Sometimes she just lies in bed, waiting for my brother to feed her.

The clothes she takes off also have a strange smell, like a paper person.

Her complexion is getting paler, the dark yellow skin is no longer there, but her lips are getting redder, and she keeps smiling foolishly, completely different from the hardworking and honest sister-in-law of the past.

No, something's wrong!

This person in front of me is no different from the previous sister-in-law.

A bad thought rushed into my mind, my sister-in-law is going to turn into a paper person too!

...

At the dining table, my sister-in-law's bowl is filled with meat,

My mom looks at my sister-in-law's growing belly, her eyes narrowed into slits, then she stares at me.

"Pan'er, eat more meat, only by eating the son your sister-in-law gives birth to can you be plump and healthy!"

I remembered what the master said, they want to use me as the bait for the paper person!

I couldn't eat a single bite of rice.

I put down my chopsticks, "Mom, I'm full."

My mom became unhappy and poured the meat from her plate into my bowl.

"Full? How can you be full when you've only eaten this little? Hurry up and eat, only by eating your sister-in-law's food can you give birth to a plump and healthy son!"

My mom picked up a few pieces of fatty meat and stuffed them into my mouth.

The sister-in-law looked up and smiled foolishly, "Give birth to a son, give birth to a son, a plump and healthy son..."

My brother stared at me intently, "Pan'er, we're doing this for your own good!"
