The tower in my mother's mouth is the village's benevolent tower, which sounds good, but in reality, it's a tower for abandoned infants.

The abandoned infant tower has no male infants, and the school has no robes.

Over ninety percent of the skeletons here are undeveloped female infants.

Those girls who were born with congenital diseases and those who bled to death during the feeding of spiritual dolls are all here.

The wealth that outsiders see as boundless glory does not fall on these girls.

Even though they are the owners of puppet dolls.

But not even a small amount of burial expenses is willing to be spent on them.

Because they have no value.

The tower, red and tinged with black, is like a devouring monster, swallowing the vitality of the girls.

I put my little niece on the ground, took out a few paper money I secretly took from the ancestral hall, and lit them with a lighter.

"I hope you will be born into a good family in your next life."

"This place is too bitter, you shouldn't have come."

A black cat that I didn't know where it came from rubbed its head against her pale face without any blood.

I sighed heavily and put her into the tower.

Just as I was about to leave, out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to see a familiar face.

I gathered my courage and leaned into the tower to take a look.

In the next instant, my eyes widened, and my pupils contracted.

A senseless sentence from Granny Li exploded like thunder in my mind.

——They want to harm you!

——They want to harm you!

I sat down in terror, cold sweat kept pouring out.

How... how is this possible?!

The face above the eerie white bones is unexpectedly identical to mine.

"Xiaoman? Xiaoman? What's wrong with you?"

Aunt Liu, who was passing by, shook my arm with some doubts.

In my eyes, her once gentle and charitable face suddenly filled with thick malice, and her black fangs were exposed when she opened her mouth.

I shouted, "Ah!" and forcefully pushed her hand away, crawling and rolling back home.

Aunt Liu muttered incomprehensibly behind me, "What's wrong with this girl today..."

Panting heavily, I arrived at the door of my house, hearing the bustling noise in the courtyard.

My brother and sister-in-law were fighting.

My sister-in-law had just given birth last night, and she was so weak that she hadn't even seen her own daughter.

My brother came back from the ancestral hall and shouted at her, and only then did my sister-in-law realize that her ten months of pregnancy had come to nothing.

A mother's potential is infinite.

A weak woman who used to not fight back or argue, thinking that she had found happiness, suddenly found the strength to resist.

Things in the house were smashed to pieces, and in the end, my parents and brother joined forces to tie her to a tree.

My brother was still unhappy and picked up a willow branch to beat my sister-in-law.

"Damn you, you bitch!"

"You dare to hit me, watch me kill you!"

My parents were also holding back their anger, not only did their plans fall through, but the house was also in a mess.

Although they didn't physically harm her, they condoned my brother's behavior and didn't give my sister-in-law any food.

While they were all asleep, I quietly went to the courtyard, untied the rope, and gave the half piece of steamed bread I had hidden to my sister-in-law.

Seeing her wolfing it down, a sour feeling welled up in my heart.

I comforted her in a soft voice, "Sister-in-law, endure for now, things will get better."
