3. What should I do with the food? What should I do? Will he die from overeating? But what if I don't give him any food? Yani took a close look at Xinxin's stomach and found nothing unusual. Even after eating so much, it was still flat. What could be going on? Even if a starving ghost was possessed, it was still in a human body. Could it be that anything a starving ghost ate wouldn't harm the body? 

What if the starving ghost left Xinxin's body? A terrifying conclusion rushed into Yani's mind. 

No, I had to keep it. No matter what, I couldn't let my son leave me. 

"Come on, Xinxin, eat your brother's formula first. Here are five cans. Eat while I buy you some food. Don't worry, I'll be right back." Yani hurriedly placed all of her youngest son's formula cans on the table and ran downstairs without even changing into her pajamas. 

"Hurry, hurry, give me everything you can eat. I want it all," Yani frantically shouted to the owner of the convenience store downstairs. 

"Is a thousand yuan enough for this food? If not, I'll come down and fill it up later. If it's enough, no need to change." Yani didn't want to waste time. She had just seen how quickly Xinxin devoured his food; five cans of formula wouldn't even be enough to fill his stomach. She had to get back quickly. As she sorted through the food, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to take one thing before leaving—her youngest son , Liu Lei. 

"No, no, that's his little brother, his real little brother. He'll be fine. He'll eat the formula slowly," Yani consoled herself as she ran. 

"Yani, what's wrong? Why are you running?" It was her husband, Liu Wei's voice. 

"Hurry... hurry... hurry upstairs. Xinxin wants to eat... something... Xinxin is hungry... Leilei is home..." Yani was already out of breath, her voice breaking. A single thought ran through her mind: 

she had to get home immediately, otherwise... "What did you say? Calm down. What happened?" Liu Wei grabbed Yani firmly, hoping to calm her down. 

"Ah——" With a wail, the immense pain in his arm made Liu Wei let go of Yani. Yani pushed Liu Wei away and ran for the elevator. 

Fortunately, they arrived in time. When they opened the door, the first thing they saw was the five cans of milk powder on the table. At this moment, all five cans were empty. Then they looked towards the sofa... 

"My child..." Yani's whole body froze. She couldn't believe her eyes. At this moment, Xinxin was leaning against the sofa, rubbing his belly with satisfaction. This time, his belly was bulging, and it was very big. It could be said that the more he rubbed it, the bigger it got. Blood was slowly seeping from the corners of his mouth. As for Liu Lei, he was lying quietly beside Liu Xin, but his belly had been peeled open, and there was nothing inside. 

"Mom, I'm so hungry." 

This was the last sentence Liu Xin said. Just as she finished speaking, Liu Wei ran to the door. The couple witnessed the departure of their two sons together. At the same time, Yani recalled a scene from more than ten years ago... In 

1998, a flood occurred and the neighboring county of Yani's hometown was engulfed by the flood. Due to the incomplete social relief at the time, many displaced people ran to the surrounding areas to beg. Yani's door was also knocked by many people who had no food to eat. 

She still clearly remembered that there were two little boys around ten years old who knelt at their father's feet and begged for food. It was summer and the father was playing mahjong in the pavilion. Maybe he lost money, so he kicked the two children away, cursed "unlucky", turned around and took Yani home. 

After lunch, Yani opened the door to go to school and was immediately shocked by the scene before him. The two boys lay side by side in front of their home. One had his stomach ripped open, while the other had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, mumbling, "I'm hungry... I'm hungry..." 

Later, medical staff arrived and confirmed that both boys had died: one from excessive blood loss from the disembowelment, the other from an infection from consuming unclean human organs. 

The scene from that year was repeating itself... 

Just as Liu Wei was seeing his two sons' bodies, Yani's mother called to tell him that Yani's father had passed away.
