So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

"We can only wait and see if the government will help us," Xia Weijie said helplessly. The Xia family felt the same way.

Another week passed, and the government still hadn't given a single word. All the food in the house had been eaten, and everyone was so hungry they had no energy left, except for drinking water to fill their stomachs.

To make matters worse, the water and electricity were also cut off, so there was no water to drink.

……

At this moment, Liu Ru noticed that Cang Lan never complained of being hungry and stayed in his room all day. Moreover, no matter how she looked at him, she felt that Cang Lan hadn't lost any weight at all, while the rest of them had become skin and bones. Thinking about this, Liu Ru quickly told Xia's parents about it.

“Dad, Mom, Weijie, don’t you think Shanmei is strange? She hasn’t lost any weight at all. Look at us, we’ve all become so thin. I suspect she’s hiding food in her bedroom.”

Only after Liu Ru said that did Xia's father and the others notice that Cang Lan hadn't lost any weight at all.

Xia Weijie roared, "That brat! She has food but won't bring it out. Is she trying to kill us?"

Xia's father's face was solemn, and a hint of ruthlessness was revealed in his eyes. "We are starving to death, and Xia Shanmei will not give us any food. Her food must be hidden in her room. Only by kicking her out can the food in her room be ours."

Xia's mother said with a worried expression, "But that brat is so strong, even the two of you men couldn't beat her, let alone the fact that we've been starving for days." As she spoke, Xia's mother touched her grandson's thin, bony little hand in her arms. Her grandson used to be chubby and fair, but now he was as thin as a monkey, and the whole family was skin and bones.

After a moment of contemplation, Xia's father revealed a ruthless expression. He then got up and took a package from the kitchen, saying, "These are the sleeping pills I specifically asked the doctor to prescribe for me when I couldn't sleep. She always needs to come out to drink water. I'll put these pills in her water beforehand, and after she drinks them and falls asleep, we'll get her out of there."

As they discussed how much drug to use to knock Canglan unconscious, Xia's mother decided to put the whole packet in. She reasoned that if Canglan died, it would be her own fault, since she was so cruel and watched her family starve to death. Since they were going to kick her out anyway, it would be better to let her die sooner and suffer less. After all, she wouldn't starve to death. Thinking this way, Xia's mother even felt that she was a very good mother.

Liu Ru, standing to the side, felt a surge of joy. Why should she suffer the torment of the Xia family while Xia Shanmei could eat and drink well? Despite her outward appearance, she said sadly, "We finally don't have to go hungry anymore. Xiaoyu can finally eat."

That evening, the Xia family did what they always did: filled six cups with water, drank them, and then went about their own business.

As soon as Cang Lan left the bedroom, she glanced at the water glass and sat down on a chair without going back to her room. Xia's father, Liu Ru, and the other two had been secretly watching Cang Lan, but they would look away guiltily whenever their eyes met Cang Lan's.

Cang Lan picked up the cup and glanced at the water inside, seemingly casually. It smelled strongly of medicine. Then, a forced smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Xiao Yu, do you want to drink the water in my cup? You won't be hungry if you drink it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ru was the first to react, immediately refusing and saying insincerely, "Shanmei, this is the little water we have left. If Xiaoyu drinks it, what will you drink? Our Xiaoyu has already drunk this cup, so please keep it for you!"

Xia's mother chimed in, "Yes, yes, no child would fight with an adult for water. Shanmei, you should drink it."

Cang Lan ignored the conversation, walked into the living room, picked up a water glass and held it out to Xia Yu, "Xiao Yu, here you go, drink up!"

The Xia family didn't hide the fact that they had harmed Canglan from Xia Yu, so Xiao Yu already knew that the cup was poisoned. When he saw Canglan bring it to him, he was so frightened that he kept yelling for Canglan to leave.

At this moment, Canglan said cryptically, "Xiaoyu, if you really don't drink, you'll suffer less."

Now, anyone who isn't a fool can see that Canglan has discovered something wrong with the water.

But Xia's mother was a fool. She pushed Canglan's cup back and said, "Shanmei, you should drink it. It doesn't matter how much Xiaoyu drinks!" She acted like a loving mother.

Immediately, Canglan, enraged, hurled the cup and water inside at Xia's mother. Startled, Xia's mother quickly dodged, but the cup and water struck Xia Yu hard on the head.

Xia Yu immediately burst into tears, water streaming down his head and into his mouth. Seeing this, Liu Ru quickly scooped Xia Yu up and rushed to the bathroom. Once there, Liu Ru quickly scooped up some water and made Xia Yu rinse his mouth.

At this moment, Xia's mother also realized what was happening and said tremblingly, "Shanmei, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? You'll find out now!" With that, he pulled out a whip and lashed it at the Xia family members, slapping them across the face. They couldn't run away even if they wanted to; the living room was so small that he could whip them from anywhere. Then, Cang Lan gave the three of them a good lesson, whipping them mercilessly.

Liu Ru quickly locked the door to the bathroom, fearing that the whip would strike the mother and child.

The Xia family members, who were already emaciated and on the verge of starvation, cried out for mercy after being whipped more than a dozen times by Cang Lan, and their cries of agony filled the air.

Then, he turned around, walked to the bathroom door, kicked the door open, and threw Liu Ru and Xia Yu to the ground. He then began to whip them again. They begged for mercy and shouted that it was Xia's father and mother who wanted to kill her, and that it had nothing to do with them. Ahhhhhh!

Xia's father and his two companions were initially somewhat relieved that Cang Lan hadn't killed them and had instead shifted his target, but now they felt as if the sky had fallen...

Immediately, Cang Lan continued whipping the mother and child, lashing them next to Xia Weijie and beginning a new round of beatings...

When the fight got boring, Canglan threw the five of them out the door and ruthlessly closed it.

The commotion was clearly heard by everyone upstairs, downstairs, and next door. Neighbor Shen Tang even came out to see what was going on. When he saw the Xia family members who were beaten and barely clothed, he immediately started talking about the "national essence".

"Xia Kui, sister-in-law, what happened to you? How did you get beaten up like this?"

"It was all because of that rebellious daughter, Xia Shanmei. She had food but didn't share it with her parents. She ate it all by herself. When we found out, she beat us up and kicked us out."

Xia's father's words, which were half true and half false, immediately enraged Shen Tang, who valued filial piety. "Are you saying that she clearly has food, but she doesn't share it with her parents? She eats all by herself. Has she lost her conscience? Isn't she afraid of retribution?"

Then, filled with righteous indignation, Shen Tang meticulously wrote down the despicable things Cang Lan had done, and also took pictures of the Xia family's miserable state, which he then posted in the community group.

In an instant, the group chat exploded, with everyone accusing Canglan of being unfilial. Some even threatened to teach her a lesson. The neighborhood group chat became incredibly lively, with messages flooding in, reaching tens of thousands in number.

However, amidst the accusations, someone suddenly sent a message saying, "Canglan's actions are not without reason. Food is scarce to begin with, so every life saved is a life saved."

As soon as he said this, a bunch of people quickly echoed his sentiments, and the debate in the group became even more intense.
