Chapter 7, Third Hexagram: Eating Infants Brings Infants



"Host, Mimi is someone I carried for ten months and gave birth to. I even have a birth certificate. I... I still have a scar from a C-section on my stomach. What you're saying is going to cause misunderstandings! I asked you to help me find out where my Mimi is, not to slander me!" Zhao Cuiyun said angrily. Just a moment ago she was crying like a pitiful mother, but now she had become sharp-tongued.

After saying that, he lifted his clothes, revealing a clear scar on his stomach from a cesarean section.

[Did this turn out to be a disaster?]

[No way, only the third divination and they've already encountered a real fortune teller, and it's already backfired so quickly?]

I'm a doctor, and this scar is indeed from a C-section.

Haha, this whole thing crashed and burned so fast! I told you it was all uncertain. You guys are like idiots, believing those shills. Not a single thing...

They've got no brains.

Report it! Report it now!

"You married into the Wang family fifteen years ago and tried all sorts of folk remedies, but you never got pregnant. Until three years ago, you learned about a folk remedy from a fellow villager who had been infertile for many years but suddenly became pregnant. It was said to help you have a child. You tried it and you really got pregnant."

Three years ago, you risked the dangers of giving birth at an advanced age to have a son.

Jiang Yuan spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone growing colder with each word.

Zhao Cuiyun's expression changed drastically, but she forced herself to remain calm and said innocently, "I just tried a folk remedy and didn't do anything immoral."

I have a feeling there's something wrong with this folk remedy.

I also feel that this folk remedy is definitely not normal.

"You merely tried a folk remedy, yet it prevented many infants from being reborn and reincarnated." Jiang Yuan's eyes were as cold as ice.

Zhao Cuiyun has done so many heinous things, yet she still feels innocent.

Her folk remedy was to eat infants and make those infants bring back a child for her!

[What does the streamer mean by this? It's getting increasingly creepy.]

[This is even more terrifying than the previous story about having sex with a desperate woman in a dream; it even involves reincarnation.]

Could what the streamer said mean what I'm thinking?

I've heard of a folk remedy: you are what you eat, and eating a child can bring you another child...

"I... I only eat dead infants, the dead infants that others bury in the ground or hang on bamboo, not live ones. Besides, they're all dead, so they've helped me give birth to a child. They've served a purpose, and my time in this world hasn't been in vain," Zhao Cuiyun revealed, seeing that her viewers in the live stream had pretty much figured it out.

[Holy crap, they really eat children? How could they do that?]

[So, this child was obtained because she ate many stillborn babies, and was brought here through those stillborn infants? That's why the anchor said it was abduction?]

[The truth is upstairs.]

I felt a little sorry for her just now, but now I feel like she deserved her son's disappearance?

Me too, I even hope her son never comes back, I'm that vicious!

So here's the question: Is it illegal to eat a stillborn baby?

“You ate a total of six infants. Three of them were stillborn babies you bought from others, two were dug out of the grave by your husband in the middle of the night, and one was abandoned at birth due to a congenital disease and you watched him freeze to death before eating him.”

"To ensure you could have a son, you ate six male babies!"

Jiang Yuan suppressed her anger and said.

Zhao Cuiyun's face darkened, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes. She seemed surprised that the anchor was so capable, even knowing exactly how many babies she had eaten over the years.

The viewers in the live stream were startled to see the usually amiable Zhao Cuiyun's expression change.

Her eyes looked like she wanted to stab everyone in the live stream.

[You can tell from his face that he's not a good person.]

More eerie than ghosts; no wonder they say humans are more terrifying than ghosts.

[They even eat abandoned babies, and they dug up babies buried in the ground. Isn't that illegal? Isn't that illegal?]

“Mimi is the only descendant of the Wang family, so your whole family has spoiled him rotten. He has been unruly and unreasonable since he was a child. He wants whatever he likes, and if he can't get it, he will snatch or steal it. This has led to many people in your village coming to your door to demand an explanation and compensation.”

"Who would have thought that you would not only side with your son, but also have your father-in-law come out with a knife to scare them. During the scare, your father-in-law cut a neighbor's foot, and that neighbor ended up lame. He lost his good job as a result, and the family became increasingly poor."

Jiang Yuan's thin lips trembled, and she grew increasingly angry as she spoke.

"As for the neighbor who injured his foot, they can't do anything to your father-in-law because he suffers from mental illness. Since then, the neighbors have kept their distance from you, and you have become more and more arrogant and domineering. You instigated your son to beat up other people's children, made him steal things from convenience stores, and even... when he was pushed down while robbing someone, you helped him and pushed that child into the river!"

"Fortunately, the river wasn't deep, and the child you pushed into it was unharmed; otherwise, he would have met the same fate."

Jiang Yuan continued.

She knew people had two sides, but she never imagined someone could be this bad.

If he was like this at the age of three, he'll be even more incredible when he grows up!

[He who steals a needle when young will steal gold when old; excessive pampering can truly ruin a person.]

Judging from the woman's ferocious appearance, it seems the anchor was right; even in the 21st century, people like this still exist.

They'll stop at nothing to have a boy.

"What do you mean he was taught to do evil? My Mimi was just playing with his friends. His friend slipped and accidentally fell into the river. What does that have to do with us?"

"As for my father-in-law's matter, we have already apologized. Besides, it's just that they are petty. My daughter Mimi only took a few worthless things from them and came to make a scene, as if we really wouldn't pay. It was just that we would pay on credit at the end of the month."

“They rushed to our door demanding money and compensation, and I even said they were deliberately trying to smear our reputation!”

Zhao Cuiyun clapped her hands angrily, speaking with great emotion, as if she were about to argue with someone, and she spoke with such self-righteousness.

In her eyes, her son and father-in-law did nothing wrong; the fault lay with others. It was their pettiness that led to this tragedy, and they only had themselves to blame!

"Hey, I tipped you so you could help me find out where my Mimi is, not so you could say these things. Do you even know where my Mimi is? If you don't, just give me back my thousand yuan right now!" Zhao Cuiyun said impatiently, changing the subject again.

As more and more people flooded into the live stream, and the streamer kept revealing her past, she didn't want to stay there any longer.

She came to ask where her child was, not to be a monkey in the live stream for others to watch.

She only spent a thousand yuan to tip the streamer because he talked so mysteriously. Now he's just spouting nonsense. If she had wasted this time, she would have gone out to find her child long ago.

"Of course I know." Beneath the mask, Jiang Yuan smiled, her eyes slightly curved but carrying a coldness.

"Where is my Mimi?" Zhao Cuiyun asked excitedly.

Although her son Mimi is only three years old, he knows the area around the village very well. Usually, when they let him go out to play, he will come back automatically when the time comes. He is very smart and they don't have to worry about him at all. But this time, he hasn't come back yet, and they have reported him missing to the police.

She had no choice but to try anything, so she consulted a fortune teller.
