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

"You motherfucker..." Before he could finish speaking, Cang Lan felt a sudden dizziness and crashed heavily to the ground with a "Duang," instantly losing consciousness.

[Host! What's wrong with you, host!]

Xiao Bai was extremely anxious and hurriedly scanned the original owner's body. The examination revealed several minor ailments, including anemia, hypoglycemia, and malnutrition.

Serious illnesses can be life-threatening for everyone. At such a young age, he has lumbar muscle strain, severe scoliosis, and severe chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers.

This fainting spell was entirely because Zhou Erniu's body had reached its limit. She ate less than a chicken but worked more than an ox; it would be strange if she didn't faint!

"You good-for-nothing, what are you pretending for? You've only been to school a few days and you've already learned to feign unconsciousness to avoid work, haven't you!" Zhou's mother cursed as she kicked Canglan several times. After kicking her, Zhou's mother still seemed unsatisfied and bent down to check Zhou Erniu's breathing. After confirming that she was still breathing, she turned around, went back into the house, and fetched a basin of swill, intending to splash it on Canglan to wake her up.

This scene terrified Xiaobai, who quickly prayed that Canglan would wake up soon. If Zhou's mother really woke Canglan up by splashing her, even a fool could tell that Zhou's mother's head would be smashed open...

Just then, Zhou Yaoguang strolled out. He didn't even glance at Zhou Erniu on the ground, but said to his mother, "Mom, I want to eat eggs. Hurry up and make them for me, or I'll be late for school!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother immediately put down the slop bucket she was holding, hurriedly ran to the backyard to get two eggs, and then rushed to the kitchen to cook them for her two sons, so that she could give them the eggs when Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu left for school.

After seeing her two sons off, Zhou's mother went to deliver food to Zhou Dafu, who was working in the fields, completely forgetting that Zhou Erniu was still lying on the ground.

After a long while, Canglan slowly woke up.

"Fuck...fuck your grandpa."

Before she could even channel her magic into herself, she was knocked unconscious by this weakened body. How utterly humiliating! Her lifelong reputation was ruined!

[Host, you're finally awake! You have no idea that old lady was about to throw swill at you. Ugh, that swill was filthy!] Xiaobai said, showing Canglan the body's test report.

Cang Lan looked at the report, his lips twitching uncontrollably. "Hurry up and send me the plot!"

【OK! 】

Canglan then recovered and took out twenty roasted chickens from his spatial storage, intending to eat them while absorbing the memories.

This is a fictional world, and the book is titled "The Mayor's Son-in-Law: Zhou Yaoguang's Rise to Power."

This book revolves around the story of Zhou Yaoguang, a man who rises from humble beginnings to become a famous entrepreneur after marrying the mayor's daughter.

Zhoujia Village, nestled deep in the mountains, is a notoriously impoverished village. Zhou Dafu and Zhou Cuilan had three daughters after their marriage: Zhou Daniu, Zhou Erniu, and Zhou Sanniu. The name "Niu" means cow.

Then came the arrival of twin sons, named Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu, a fitting name for bringing glory to their ancestors.

The original owner's eldest sister, Zhou Daniu, was only 15 years old when her father married her off to Zhao Shazi from the next village for 200 yuan. It was more like selling her than marrying her off, just to raise money for Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu's tuition.

Meanwhile, Zhou Daniu's life in the Zhao family was also miserable. In addition to taking care of her mentally challenged husband every day, she also had to endure her mother-in-law's torment. Even during her pregnancy, she had to work in the fields. Her chronic physical depletion, coupled with the lack of nutrition during her pregnancy, caused her to have a severe hemorrhage when she was five months pregnant. The Zhao family did not want to spend money on medical treatment, so they went to the village clinic to get painkillers for Zhou Daniu. However, this only treated the symptoms and not the root cause. By the time they found out, Zhou Daniu had already died from excessive blood loss, resulting in the deaths of both her and her unborn child.

The original owner, Zhou Erniu, had excellent grades since childhood, even better than Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu. However, Zhou's mother said that the family's money was only enough for two people to go to school, so Zhou Erniu had no choice but to drop out of school. In order to ease the burden on her family, she cut pig feed, fed the pigs and chickens, cooked, and cleaned the yard every day, busy from morning to night.

Until Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu's expenses increased, they couldn't even afford tuition, let alone living expenses. Out of desperation, Zhou's parents had no choice but to send Zhou Erniu to work in a factory to earn money.

But back then, Zhou Erniu was naive and kind. She was easily fooled by her parents' sweet words, such as "I'll give the money I earn to my younger brother so he can support the whole family in the future" and "When your brother becomes a college student, he will remember your kindness." So Zhou Erniu willingly went to work in the factory to earn tuition fees for her brothers.

Every time Zhou Erniu called home to complain, her parents would only ask for money and wouldn't say anything else. They would also tell Zhou Erniu to call less. In order to save money, Zhou Erniu ate steamed buns with pickled vegetables or chili sauce every day, which made her already bad stomach even worse.

Over time, Zhou Erniu mentioned several times that she wanted to go to the hospital for treatment, but Zhou Yaoguang said that stomach pain could be relieved by taking painkillers, and that hospitals were all liars, costing several thousand yuan each time.

Upon hearing this, Zhou's parents immediately took away all of Zhou Erniu's money, completely disregarding how she lived outside. For five whole years, Zhou Erniu bore the cost of Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu's tuition and all household expenses.

There was another reason why Zhou Erniu was so frugal: her younger sister, Zhou Sanniu, didn't want her to follow in her footsteps. So Zhou Erniu asked her parents to cover her tuition fees, hoping to help her escape the mountains. Therefore, Zhou Erniu worked even harder, often working overtime, and sent all her earnings home.

During one Chinese New Year, Zhou Erniu secretly returned home, only to be dumbfounded upon entering. She saw that Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu treated her like a slave, and that Zhou Erniu had never attended school.

She had to do all the housework, from laundry and cooking to cleaning the yard, and even washing everyone's underwear.

Zhou Erniu immediately questioned her parents about why they wouldn't let her go to school. But Zhou's father's dark, rough face instantly contorted with anger. He glared at her and roared, "Girls, what's the point of studying! They're just money-losing goods. They should stay home and work from a young age. When they're old enough, they should find a man to marry and bring in some dowry money for the family. Going to school? Dream on!"

Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu stood to the side, their faces completely indifferent, as if all of this had nothing to do with them.

Seeing their expressions, Zhou Erniu was filled with disappointment. She angrily pointed at Zhou Yaoguang and shouted, "It's fine that I support his schooling because he's a good student, but what about Zhou Yaozu? All he does at school is fight and cause trouble. His studies are terrible. All that money we spent on him is a complete waste! Why should he be allowed to go to school? It would be better to let Sanniu go to school instead."

The moment these words left her mouth, Zhou's mother sprang to attention like a powder keg, rushing over and slapping Zhou Erniu hard across the face. She then proceeded to punch and kick her, yelling as she did so, "You little brat, how dare you speak ill of my son! You and Sanniu are nothing but money-losing goods for the Zhou family. It's only right that you work hard to earn money for my son!"

When Zhou Yaozu heard Zhou Erniu say that he was not as good as Zhou Yaoguang, he was furious. He glared at her and rushed forward, punching her hard in the chest without saying a word.

He then said fiercely, "Hmph, is it any of your business? I can go to school, and my family should support and take care of me. What can you do to me?"
