Before Tang Mo arrived, the few people here had feared the corrosive liquid's arrival more than anything.
Although its flow wouldn't touch the small houses they had built, the acid brought with it a pungent odor and intense heat. The stench from it dissolving the fish made the already uncomfortable environment even more unbearable.
But now, things were clearly different. Everyone was hoping for the liquid to arrive as soon as possible.
Of course, "everyone" did not include the woman holding the child.
She hadn't wanted to leave, but she never expected that man, Ah Bao, to be so ruthless. He was determined to get out, even if it meant abandoning the child.
No matter how much she cried, screamed, or threatened him with the child, nothing worked.
In the end, she had no other choice but to leave with everyone else.
After all, she could never survive here alone. But if she got out… 'I'm still young. I refuse to believe I can't compete with some washed-up hag!'
