Chapter 3

After sending the Taoist priest away, I deliberately brought a plate of cupcakes to Sarah.

At this time, her husband hadn't come home from work yet, so I hopefully wouldn't run into a domestic violence situation like last time.

She opened the door and looked at me with delight, while her mother-in-law rolled her eyes at me: "How unlucky, another hen that can't lay eggs."

"You really can only make friends with this kind of trash!"

Sarah laughed awkwardly, but I keenly noticed the hatred in her eyes.

I quickly handed the cupcakes to Sarah: "I came to tell you that we might be moving out soon. The Taoist master I invited today said our apartment isn't good for having children, and told us to move somewhere else."

"We've already listed the house. In the next few days, people will be coming to view it. I hope we won't disturb you too much."

Hearing this, Sarah's mother-in-law rolled her eyes at me again, throwing some melon seed shells at me: "What nonsense! You can't have children, so you blame the sky, the earth, and now even the house. How ridiculous!"

"If you were my daughter-in-law, I would have told my son to divorce you long ago!"

Hearing this, I seemed to remember something. Right! In my previous life, even though Sarah's mother-in-law despised her for not being able to have children and her husband often beat her, I never heard anything about divorce.

When a woman is infertile, but the man doesn't want a divorce, there's only one reason: the source of infertility is with the man.

I tentatively asked: "Why don't you try my method? The Taoist master also said my husband needs to go to the hospital for a check-up. From his birth chart, his children's palace isn't good, naturally he'll have few offspring..."

Before I could finish, Sarah's mother-in-law used a broom to sweep me out the door, slamming it shut: "This is absolutely ridiculous! How dare you, a mere woman, speak ill of a grown man!"

Seeing her reaction, I had a guess in my mind. It must be Sarah's husband who is infertile.

The mother and son knew this but didn't want to bear the reputation, so they said it was Sarah's problem and naturally abused her.

As for the big-character posters in the community, were they posted by someone else or was it a self-directed show by the mother and son?

Thinking of this, I immediately ordered some mini cameras and waited for nightfall to install them discreetly on the door plate when no one was paying attention.

They were very inconspicuous, almost impossible to notice. The cameras were positioned to clearly view the movements at Sarah's door.

The next day, I went to work as usual. When I returned home, I found a talisman pasted on my door.

The talisman was covered in red blood spots, looking very ominous.

I was terrified and quickly called Mike.

When Mike saw it, he was furious and was about to tear it off.

Remembering the online rumors about talismans, I quickly stopped him, afraid it might bring bad luck. I took a photo and sent it to the Taoist master.

The master's reply made my blood run cold: "This is an exorcism talisman. Someone is treating you as an evil spirit and trying to suppress you! Light three incense sticks, explain the situation clearly, and then tear it off. That should be fine."

Exorcism? My mind immediately flashed to the image of Sarah's mother-in-law chasing me away with a broom.

Checking the video recorded by the camera, to my surprise, it was Sarah who had pasted the talisman on our door.

I had already tried so hard to hide myself and even tried to be nice to her. Why would she do this to me?

An idea popped into my head.

Could it be that she thought her infertility was caused by the feng shui of our house?

My heart sank. If she believed I was the source of her misfortune, she might try to harm me again.
