Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

The old woman in the floral headscarf stared wide-eyed for a while before she realized what was happening. When she saw the men stuffing things into their mouths, she immediately started cursing.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, this is what Dad and Mom ate, and you actually dared to eat it, Gousheng, look at the wife you raised, and these good-for-nothings are itching for a beating. I'll teach you a lesson."

As she spoke, the old woman with the floral headscarf bent down to look for something on the ground. She found a wooden stick on the ground, picked it up, and started hitting Erniu and the others.

The pregnant woman was anxious and stood in front of her second daughter. Just as the branch was about to hit the pregnant woman, Zhao Lian blocked her way, snatched the branch away, and swept it across the old woman's leg.

"Ouch~ Ouch~"

The old woman clutched her leg and jumped up. Just moments ago, the stick was about to fall on the eldest daughter-in-law, but somehow it suddenly ended up in the young girl's hands. The old woman was completely baffled.

"Anyone who dares to touch them, I'll make them pay!" Zhao Lian glared fiercely at the old woman with the floral headscarf. Her fierce gaze immediately frightened the old woman so much that she dared not step forward again.

The old woman yelled at her two sons, "I've wasted my life raising you! You two just stand by and watch your mother get bullied. Hurry up and teach this brat a lesson!"

Qiao Feng warned coldly, "If you dare to touch her, I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."

"You're right, I think you're all tired of living." Jordan, who had been silent until now, couldn't hold back any longer.

I've never seen such a bizarre person in my life. Today has truly been an eye-opener for me.

This young girl already looked so impressive, and there were two big men standing next to her.

The man with the triangular eyes immediately shrank back, saying, "Mother, this little girl looks so powerful, how could I possibly beat her?" As he spoke, he retreated, hiding behind the dull-looking man.

"Old woman, let it go. This eldest daughter-in-law is carrying our child, and it might be a son this time. Let her be," the skinny old man said.

The old woman in the floral headscarf reluctantly shut her mouth, no longer daring to look directly at Zhao Lian. She grimaced as she touched the painful spot on her leg, then turned and returned to the side of the gaunt old man.

Others tried to approach Zhao Lian to ask for something, but Zhao Lian angrily cursed, "You people, get out of here! To tell you the truth, I have no food left."

"Right now, all I have left is this stick in my hand. If anyone dares to step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't force me to make a move!"

After saying that, Zhao Lian waved the stick in her hand, staring coldly at the onlookers.

Despite her young age, this little girl exuded an aura of unapproachability. The surrounding refugees were intimidated by her presence and quickly scattered.

Seeing the people disperse, Zhao Lian glared at the dull-witted man with disdain: "They are your wife and children. If you don't protect them, who will?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, the dull-witted man guiltily avoided Zhao Lian's gaze.

The old woman in the floral headscarf was seething with anger, and when she heard Zhao Lian say such things, she glared at her with her slanted eyes and said, "You little brat, this is our family matter. Who gives you the right to lecture us?"

"Pooh!!!"

Zheng Xiuzhen spat in her face: "You old woman, don't take advantage of your age to act like an old lady."

"You're such an old man, and you know your daughter-in-law is pregnant, yet you still eat from her mouth. I'm ashamed for you, and I can't believe you still have the nerve to do it."

They were so focused on getting food that they hadn't paid much attention. Now that they knew they were a family, the others looked at Old Yang with disdain and pointed at her.

"Yes, I've never seen anyone like this before, actually fighting with their pregnant daughter-in-law for food."

"I think that son is definitely not her biological child, otherwise why would she do this?"

"Yes, that's for sure."

The onlookers pointed and whispered at the old woman, who was starting to lose face. She began to vehemently retort, "From ancient times to the present, which daughter-in-law doesn't have to be filial to her mother-in-law? As long as there's something to eat, she has to think of the elders. Unlike you, who only care about yourselves. If you act like this, you'll all have to go and get a beating."

"I think you old woman want to get punched!" Zheng Xiuzhen said bluntly.

"you……"

Zheng Xiuzhen's words made the old woman's face turn red and white in turns, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

The gaunt old man glared at his wife and said impatiently, "Alright, stop making a fool of yourself here, let's hurry on our way."

The old woman was already embarrassed, and now that her husband had said that to her, she got angry and started cursing at the onlookers: "You're really meddling in other people's business! People say you're just being nosy even if you're not full."

"Why are you staring at me? Where I find food is none of your business. You should be thinking about what you have to eat instead."

These words immediately brought the onlookers back to reality. They thought about it and realized she was right. They were fleeing for their lives and didn't even have enough to eat themselves. Why should they care about others?

Everyone wisely kept quiet and continued on their way. They didn't know anyone on this road, so why bother with so much nonsense? They were all barely able to take care of themselves right now.

"Thank you, miss!" The pregnant woman glanced gratefully at Zhao Lian, then pulled her daughter along and continued on her way.

“Sister, I told you not to cause trouble, but you wouldn’t listen. We don’t have much food left, and you still gave it away. You can’t do this again, understand?” Zhao Di nagged from the side.

"But those little girls were really pitiful." Da Ni'er's little face was full of worry. Those little girls looked so young, but their grandma looked so fierce.

"Sigh~ Actually, I also felt sorry for that pregnant woman just now." Jiang Si sighed, while also marveling at how good her husband's family was.

Over the years in Niujiao Village, she has seen many similar cases, with many women being disliked by their husbands' families because they gave birth to girls.

Some women are not only disliked by their mothers-in-law, but also beaten and scolded by their husbands, living a life of constant anxiety.

Over the years of marriage, she has given birth to a daughter, Liu Yao. Her mother-in-law and husband treat their daughter very well and have not treated her badly because she gave birth to a girl.

Seeing that her mother seemed unhappy, the sensible Liu Yao immediately took her hand and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

“Mother is fine!” Jiang Si shook her head.

Liu Tongzhu put his arm around Jiang Si's shoulder: "Alright, wife, stop thinking about other people. Everyone has their own destiny, and we can't change it."

Zheng Xiuzhen continued, "Yes, that woman is really pitiful. She was heavily pregnant and had several young children to take care of. She had such a bad in-law family, and her husband didn't even protect her. I don't know how she manages to live at home."

Now that they're fleeing, they have even less food, and who knows what might happen next? Even she's starting to worry about the pregnant woman.

"Let's not talk about others, let's hurry up and get going." Sun Shangxiang interrupted them. This was a time of fleeing for our lives, not a time for chatting at home.
