Danica sighed slightly and said, "This is also a poor woman. Her husband died when she was pregnant. After giving birth to her child with difficulty, she didn't get any rest. She had to drag her already weak body to go to the factory and to work on the construction site like those men, because as long as such high-intensity labor can be exchanged for enough money to maintain their lives. This kind of life lasted for more than half a year. I really can't imagine how she survived it."

"It's really unimaginable." Hort nodded in agreement. The Barov family also had a textile factory. He knew clearly how the workers in those factories were squeezed out the last bit of cream and blood. He had come up with many ideas for this. Moreover, the labor intensity of the textile factory is relatively small. Most of the workers are actually female workers. Like the construction site, it is not new to make a strong man exhausted to death. As a woman who has just given birth, it is really unimaginable to be able to survive in that environment for the first half of the year. If it really happens, it can only be attributed to strong maternal love.

"Although it's already hard, fate has not favored this poor young mother." Danica continued, "Mr. Barov, do you know how big the baby's death rate is in the slums? More than 50% of the babies live no more than one year old, and two to 30% of the children will end their existence before the age of five. In such a harsh living environment, although this young mother gave her children infinite and great love, her child still had an accident. When she came to me with a child whose breathing had become very weak, kneeling on the ground and holding my legs in a wailing pain... that feeling, how can I say, is really special."

"But you can do nothing?" said Hod. Judging from the baby's condition, it seems that such a conclusion can be drawn.

Danica nodded and said, "Yes, I can't do anything. At that time, the little baby's body was extremely weak and I really couldn't bear any medicine. Although I had repeatedly explained my helplessness, the young mother still refused to give up. After all, among the people she could come into contact with, I might be the person with the most hope of saving her child. When the last straw that can save her life was about to float away, she really couldn't accept it. In the end, there was no way. I told her that this little baby, the Holy Light could not save her child, but the Demon could."

"Even if the child she cherished becomes that way," Hod asked.

"Yes." Danica replied, "and I think she has accepted this. Mr. Barov, you may not understand that slum parents often have less love for their children, because the mortality rate of babies is too high. It is possible that one or two will grow up if seven or eight children are born. If the misfortune of each child will make the parents too heartbreaking, their psychology will not be able to hold on. In fact, it is rare to love their children so deeply like this young mother. I believe she has been in a certain panic before, because she has a difficult life for herself and it is difficult to raise her children. Now, although her child's condition is a bit special, the child's psychology is not distorted. Although it seems to be a very tragic thing to you, it is not a particularly bad ending for the poor in the slum."

Danica paused for a moment and said with emotion: "Some people may not admit this sentence, but in the slums of Mellens, the people here are already living in hell. If possible, a considerable number of them will be willing to turn into evil spirits." After saying that, she looked at Hod deeply.

Danica's last words shocked Hod. Of course, he knew that life was difficult for the lower class of Melens. After all, those bosses and factory owners would squeeze the workers' last drop of oil and water as much as possible. Some people have suggested before that excessive oppression may lead to resistance. There was even a while before that the city council would allocate part of the funds to improve the life of the slums. Now, the slums' masonry and stone structures and very solid houses were mostly arranged by the council at that time. At the same time, the council of Melens also paid great attention to abide by a bottom line - it cannot increase wages for workers. The council can choose to raise donations and give good intentions to make those lower class live a better life, but it will never give any tilt to workers in a fundamental system. Because once this step is taken, it cannot be stopped. Workers will continue to move through movements and protest to obtain more wage returns. When these are cheap

When the price of labor becomes expensive and pampered, Melens and even the manufacturing industry in the entire southern coastal region will suffer a catastrophe. But this will also bring some problems. Not every council has this foresight and knowing that it is necessary to consciously alleviate the sharp conflict between some workers and factory owners. When this conflict accumulates slowly, if you are lucky, you will raise funds before the critical point to improve the lives of workers and relieve the conflict again. But if you are lucky, this conflict will continue to accumulate and eventually break out. Once the riot occurs, it will be an extremely bad thing for everyone in the entire region, although these merchants and nobles are still very sure to suppress the riot. What is even more terrible is that in this situation, ambitious families like Danica will consciously use this contradiction to try to control the anger and despair of the poor at the bottom. That will not be a riot, but a revolution.

As the head of the largest family of Melens, Hod Barov paid attention to the living conditions of the poor at the bottom. According to him, although the class contradictions in Melens were already very large, they were still a distance from the critical point. But now, he was surprised to find that the most pitiful people in the slums would rather become ghosts, and would feel that they were living a better life. This seemed to mean that the revolution was about to begin.

Looking at Hod's flashing eyes, Danica also roughly guessed what he was thinking. She smiled and said, "Mr. Barov, don't forget your current identity."
