Chapter 2

In my previous life, my brother got a pregnancy secret recipe from a so-called master, saying men could also get pregnant and give birth.

At first I thought it was just a joke.

But unexpectedly, three days later, my brother came home whistling cheerfully.

As soon as he got back, he said he had found a master.

The master had even cast a fortune for him, saying he was destined to be an emperor in this life.

The child he would bear would be blessed with gold and silver, and he himself would have great fortune and longevity.

The master also said this child must be born from his belly for him and the child to have this good fortune.

For this, he even spent thousands of yuan to get the pregnancy secret recipe from the master.

As he spoke, my brother took out a package of sticky brownish stuff and started chewing it.

I didn't know what it was, I only knew the wind was a bit strong at the time.

When a gust of wind blew by, I could smell the odor of rotting raw meat.

I almost vomited.

My mom also covered her nose and mouth, listening in bewilderment.

Although she was uneducated, it was the first time she had heard of men being able to get pregnant.

Watching him swallow it, my mom worriedly spoke up.

"Son, won't eating this stuff give you a stomachache?"

My brother didn't waste a bit, just focused on licking the sticky stuff left on the paper wrapper.

Seeing him so absorbed, my mom's heart tightened again.

"Son, you haven't been scammed, have you?"

"Mom, you can rest assured, I guarantee I haven't. The master is truly divine!"

My brother licked up the last bit with a satisfied look.

Then he put his arm around my mom's shoulders, "Mom, your son can have a child without relying on a woman, and it will even be a boy. Aren't you happy?"

"A boy?" When my mom heard "boy", her previously worried expression instantly turned joyful. "Son, are you telling the truth?"

"Mom, it's absolutely true. You just wait to hold your chubby grandson!"

"The master also said as long as I take this secret recipe on schedule, I can naturally get pregnant in a few days, and successfully give birth in two months."

Although my mom was excited, she was still half skeptical.

But I didn't believe a word of it.

A man getting pregnant? That would only happen if pigs could climb trees.

But three days later, my brother actually did get pregnant.

And his belly kept getting bigger.

Miraculously, there was even fetal movement in his round belly.

My mom was overjoyed!

She prayed to the ancestors and gods.

Thinking about how their combined intelligence was just 250,

I kept trying to reason with them, saying it was physically impossible for a man to get pregnant and give birth.

There must be something bad growing in my brother's belly.

If it wasn't removed, it could be life-threatening.

But my brother thought I was just being alarmist and cursing him.

My mom said I was just jealous and couldn't stand to see my brother doing well.

They firmly believed the fetus in my brother's belly was human.

Faced with my pig-brained brother and uneducated mother,

I forcibly dragged my brother to get examined.

After a series of tests by the doctor,

My guess was indeed confirmed.

Under the ultrasound, countless octopus-like tentacles were attached to my brother's belly.

They varied in size, and each one was very strong.

The doctor was horrified at the sight.

The fat in my brother's belly had been consumed by the octopuses, making his belly skin very thin.

If not careful, it could be torn by the tentacles.

If emergency surgery wasn't performed quickly to remove the octopuses, they would move to other parts of the body and continue feeding.

The end result would be my brother reduced to a skeleton.

To save his life, I begged the doctor to arrange surgery for him immediately.

Unexpectedly, not only were he and my mom not grateful to me, they even started hating me.

My brother said I had cut off his path to fortune, that this was a divine child given to him by the heavens.

My mom went further, saying I was jealous of my brother and had colluded with the doctor to put on this act.

Killing her grandson and demonizing him.

At the time, the doctors at the hospital all felt sorry for me, having to take care of two mentally ill people alone.

They suggested that after my brother recovered, I should take him and my mom to a psychiatric hospital to get their brains checked.

Finally back home, I busied myself taking care of them.

I didn't get a single kind word or look from my mom and brother.

Instead, I was hacked to death and dismembered by them in the kitchen.

"I finally got the master to help me get pregnant, and it's all ruined by you, you bitch. I'll send you to apologize to my son right now."

My brother's eyes were red with killing intent as he stabbed me harder and harder.

My mom didn't even blink.

She said it didn't matter if I died since I was just a girl, I couldn't support her in old age or carry on the family line anyway. Then she helped my brother deliver the fatal blow.

Afterwards, to destroy the evidence, my mom and brother dismembered me together.

Thinking of everything from my previous life, I felt I was somewhat to blame.

After all, some people's brains just aren't normal.

You try your best to save them, but they think you're trying to harm them.

Living again, I will no longer be a busybody caring about things that don't concern me.
