Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Grandma Shao had lived most of her life and experienced countless ups and downs.

These thoughts only briefly stirred within her at first, but in the end, she calmly dressed her eldest grandson and led him to bed for a nap.

Shao Lin squinted, his eyelids drooping. Seeing that his grandmother had made up her mind, he didn't force himself to stay awake. He gave Pangu Banner some instructions and then drifted off to sleep, following his body's will...

By noon that day, the news had been circulating for a morning.

All the outsiders in the town already knew that the little boy from the Shao family had returned.

Grandma Shao didn't hide anything; whenever someone knocked on the door, she would open it open and respond.

She even went out once to buy a lot of vegetables. When she ran into some acquaintances in town, she stopped to chat with them and emphasized that Shao's parents didn't know how to raise children and had made her eldest grandson so thin from hunger.

"Luckily, my sweet baby is smart and knew to sneak back to me. Otherwise, if he had stayed with those irresponsible parents, he would have become a terrible person."

Grandma Shao said to her old friends with a proud look:

"Thankfully, my wife is a great cook, otherwise I wouldn't know how to supplement the child's nutrition."

By the way, I saw on the news this morning that there's some serious flu outbreak lately, and the authorities have issued orders not to go out. Should you guys stock up on food and supplies?

Grandma Shao wasn't lying.

Ever since Shaolin Shen launched a continuous attack on the network defenses last night, informing the organization about the impending apocalypse, the higher-ups have become alert. A quick investigation was all it took to discover that something was amiss.

Therefore, this morning, major television stations began broadcasting news about the flu, urging people to stay at home and not to move around or gather unnecessarily.

Several elderly women of similar age chatted happily with Grandma Shao. Some listened and planned to go to the store to buy something later, while others disagreed and thought it was just another piece of fake news.

"Didn't they say before that there would be some kind of disease/virus? My husband was scared to death. He bought a huge amount of salt, but it wasn't enough. He even brought back boxes of soy sauce and vinegar from the store."

And guess what? We couldn't even use all of it; it all expired and went to waste, and I even got complained about by the kids.”

Upon hearing this, Grandma Shao simply nodded and didn't continue her nagging.

Good words can't persuade the devil to die.

She said it, but there's nothing she can do if people don't listen.

There were still many eyes watching her; she couldn't very well put herself and her grandson in danger for the sake of others.

Perhaps it was because they heard the news that their child had returned.

When Grandma Shao returned from the street carrying large and small bags, she saw several young women in sportswear looking back at her door from afar.

When someone spotted Grandma Shao, they told the person next to them, and they all rushed over to her, eager to help her carry her things.

"Grandma, these things are heavy, let us help you carry them."

Li Qianqian smiled ingratiatingly, reached out her hand familiarly, and took Grandma Shao's arm, leading her into the little villa.

Grandma Shao slightly raised her eyelids, recalling her own plans, and this time she didn't stop her.

They even asked them if they knew how to make dumplings and noodles.

“My darling loves these the most. If you know how, please stay for lunch and make some extra to freeze in the refrigerator.”

Grandma Shao sat steadily in her chair, watching the girls bustling around in the kitchen, looking like she'd gotten a great deal, and chuckled happily:

"When you get old, you can't work as well as you can. You young people are much more nimble."

"Oh, right, Qianqian, could you help me catch one of the old hens from the coop later? We're making soup for our grandson for lunch."

Upon hearing this, Li Qianqian forced a smile and readily agreed in front of the old lady, then turned her head and rolled her eyes as if she wanted to roll them to the sky.

'That old hag, all I did was flatter her a few times, and she thinks she's some kind of empress dowager.'

The girls were being watched and acted obediently, but in their hearts they wished they could curse the Shao family's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The group finally made it to noon, only to be turned away without even a bowl of hot soup, when the stingy old woman shrugged and kicked them out.

"boom--"

The large iron gate was bolted from the inside. Li Qianqian and the others stared wide-eyed, wishing they could drag the old woman out and give her a good beating.

Just as the group was holding their breath, two shady-looking thugs around the corner whistled at them, suggesting that instead of trying to please the old woman, they should serve the two brothers better.

"As long as you follow our Green Dragon Gang from now on, you'll have plenty of opportunities to live a life of luxury. Those zombies are nothing to our boss."

Li Qianqian spat at them and cautiously led them back to the rented room.

“The town has become increasingly chaotic these past few days. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come here and cause trouble. They call themselves the Green Dragon Gang, but I think they should be called the Green Worm Gang.”

He Yan sat in the chair complaining, but her hand unconsciously reached into the drawer. She only breathed a sigh of relief after taking out the things inside.

They used to be street thugs. When the apocalypse came, they survived for a few months with their gang. Later, when there was no food in the factory where they were hiding, everyone started fighting amongst themselves, and the women were the first to suffer.

In this life, they felt that those men were unreliable, so they thought about finding another partner to please. What's a dead old woman and a four-year-old kid? They've seen it all. Once they've got the grandmother and grandson under control, they'll see how they deal with those two.

On the other side, inside the Shao family's small building.

Grandma Shao was unaware that the girls had started having dreams in broad daylight. She went inside and gently woke up her eldest grandson.

When the little guy got up rubbing his eyes, Grandma Shao gently wiped his face with a warm towel.

"Shen Shen, how about Grandma plays a game with you today?"

Grandma Shao coaxed the child and whispered a few words in her grandson's ear.

Upon hearing this, Shao Linshen's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and nodded in response.

"Great! I love playing games, Grandma! When do we start?"

"We'll start after we finish eating. You'll see Grandma gives you a meaningful look."

Grandma Shao led the child to the dining room, placed a large bowl of wontons in front of her grandson, and was about to pick up a spoon to feed him when her grandson skillfully picked up the spoon and buried his head in the food, eating with relish.

Grandma Shao felt a lump in her throat, but she kept putting food on the child's plate.

After the grandfather and grandson had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to the kitchen and took the opportunity to store the steamed dumplings and a large pot of noodles in their space for later use.

Seeing this miracle again, Grandma Shao breathed a sigh of relief and simply took the children out for a walk.

Old Wei from next door saw them and, who had been sitting under the tree enjoying the shade, turned his head and waved to them.

"Sister, things aren't very peaceful in town lately. It's safer for you to stay at home."

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. This little guy can't stay still at home for a moment, so this old man has no choice but to accompany him out for a walk."

Grandma Shao pretended to be helpless and pinched Shao Linshen's nose.

Upon receiving the hint, Shao Linshen didn't hesitate and immediately began to throw a tantrum, jumping and shouting:

"Grandma, I want a new toy car. Please go and buy it for me quickly!"
