Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Outside a three-story villa on the east side of Da'an Town, you can hear several hens clucking incessantly in the yard.

At this time of day, Grandma Shao would usually get up with a spirited look and go to the chicken coop to collect eggs so she could make steamed egg custard for her beloved grandson.

Ever since her child was taken away by his parents, the old lady has been like a lost soul, with no energy to do anything.

Hearing the hen clucking incessantly in the yard, the already sleepy old lady simply put on a coat, went outside, picked up a broom, and smacked the hen's rear end a few times to vent her anger.

She was still fuming when someone outside the door came looking for trouble, knocking on the door early in the morning.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Aunt Shao, are you awake? We got up early today and cooked extra porridge. Didn't you say last time that seafood porridge tasted good? We specially brought you a pot."

A sweet female voice rang out from outside the door.

Like a gentle breeze brushing against the willow branches in early spring, soft and soothing, if it were any other time, Grandma Shao would really be willing to chat with these sweet-talking and warm-hearted young girls for a while.

But whenever she thinks about what's been happening in town lately, she can't help but feel irritable.

Hearing the incessant chatter outside, Grandma Shao simply turned around and went back to the kitchen. Carrying a bucket of swill, she opened the door, raised her hand, and splashed it out, directly soaking several pretty girls from head to toe in the swill.

"what--"

The young woman in the lead, with an oval face and big eyes, jumped up and down screaming, even throwing the pot she was holding away, and kept wiping her face and howling.

"Calling and calling, are you trying to call back your soul? Instead of sleeping this early in the morning, you come to my house looking for amusement. Didn't I tell you to stop bothering me?"

"If you guys keep bothering my doorstep like ghosts next time, this old woman will pour boiling water on you."

Grandma Shao stood with her hands on her hips, pointing at the noses of several young girls and cursing them. Anyone who didn't know the situation would really think that this old lady was aloof. The young girls had kindly brought her food, but instead of receiving any kindness, they were also smeared with dirty water.

Li Qianqian and the others at the door thought the same thing.

They just wanted to curry favor with her, but this old woman was acting strangely. No matter how much food and drink they brought her, she was completely unmoved and always had a deadpan expression, as if someone had cheated her out of millions.

"Old man..."

He Yan, who was standing to the side, was impatient and couldn't help but open her mouth to argue back with the old lady, but her companion covered her mouth and forcibly pulled her aside.

Li Qianqian suppressed her anger, bowed to Grandma Shao and apologized, saying that when she first came to town, she had troubled the old lady many times, and that she couldn't help but want to get closer to her because she looked a lot like her own grandmother.

"Grandma, we really didn't mean anything by it. We just thought you must be lonely living here alone, so we've been coming more often."

Li Qianqian's eyes were red, and she looked at Grandma Shao with a look full of apology as she said:

"I'm sorry, Grandma Shao. If we have caused you any inconvenience, please don't hold it against us, considering our good intentions."

After saying that, the girl picked up the clay pot from the ground and led the other four people toward a nearby residential building.

Old Master Wei from the next house had been watching a play in the yard, peeking out. Now that the people had left, he couldn't help but tease the old lady:

"Big sister, this young girl is being so filial, why aren't you appreciating it? If it were me, I'd be overjoyed."

"Go away, you old geezer, what are you meddling in?"

Grandma Shao glared at him, annoyed, and pouted:

"Who cares about their filial piety?"

"Do they really think we're some big shot? Why would anyone be so nice to an old woman for no reason? They must have some ulterior motive."

Come to think of it, I don't know why so many tourists have suddenly appeared in their town recently, crowding the town to capacity.

If it weren't for the township government's intervention, the town's residents wouldn't dare to leave their homes.

Especially Grandma Shao, ever since her eldest grandson was taken away by his parents, these strangers have been haunting her, their eyes darting around, and it's obvious what they're up to.

Thinking of this, Grandma Shao glanced at a corner of the wall and saw a man wearing a hat staring intently at her.

Grandma Shao was so frightened that she got goosebumps all over her body.

Just as the person was about to turn around, a familiar, sweet voice rang in their ears:

"Grandma, I'm back! Did you miss me?"

Grandma Shao turned around abruptly, nearly straining her back. Before she could even get a good look at the little person in front of her, the child pounced on her.

Overjoyed, she kept stroking the child's head, exclaiming:

"Oh my, our grandson is finally back! I've missed him so much!"

Grandma Shao's eyes were red and swollen. Looking at her grandson, who had lost a lot of weight and was covered in mud, she felt so sorry for him that she kept crying.

“Our eldest grandson has suffered. Your parents are heartless. They said nice things when they took him away, but this is how they raise him.”

Shao Lin clung to his grandmother, refusing to let go. The old lady carried him back into the house, where he then tearfully recounted:

“Grandma, they’re all lying to you. As soon as I got to the new house, my parents locked me and Ahua together and put a big iron chain around my neck. When I cried and wanted to come back, they got upset and beat me with sticks.”

As he spoke, Shao Linshen's eyes immediately started flowing like a tap that had been turned on.

His face was covered in tears and snot, and anyone who saw it would think that the child had probably suffered a great deal.

"Waaah, they won't give me any food when I'm hungry, and they even made me fight with Ahua for dog food."

Shao Linshen continued to file complaints:

"Uncle Wang's older brother even called me a little fat pig and said I should be kept in a dog enclosure. His two younger siblings also laughed at me, poured hot soup on me, and dumped vegetable leaves on the ground for me to eat."

Grandma Shao felt dizzy and wanted to grab a broom and go to the city to give Shao's parents a good beating.

Her grandson, whom she raised with such care and hardship, was treated so cruelly by these two heartless parents.

At that moment, the old lady hugged Shaolin and cried uncontrollably, saying that she would never let them take the child away again.

“If your parents dare to come again, Grandma won’t even let them in the door and will kick them out.”

At this point, the old lady touched her grandson's face and asked, "Shen Shen, how did you get back? Are you hurt?"

"I took the key and sneaked out when they weren't looking. Later, I asked the uncles and aunts on the roadside, and they told me to take the bus to the station and then come here with the town's shuttle bus."

Shao Linshen made up a story on the spot. Then he looked down and touched his rumbling stomach, saying with a wronged expression that he was hungry and wanted to eat the fragrant noodles that his grandmother made.

Grandma Shao couldn't bear to refuse her beloved grandson, so she immediately hugged Shao Linshen, washed his face, rolled up her sleeves, and went to the kitchen to cook noodles for him.

The hall fell silent immediately.

Shaolin sat obediently on the small stool, head down, rubbing Ahua's dog head with both hands. In just a moment, the sound of the Pangu Banner rang in his mind.

"Brother Shen, we've found out. There are quite a few miniature cameras and listening devices hidden in this building, especially in the lobby. I estimate there are at least twenty."

"Damn it, I really don't know how those people got in here."
