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

"Stop crying, what are you crying for? It's so annoying!" Li Chunhua frowned and shouted.

"Li Chunhua, I've put up with you for too long!" He Qing said coldly, finally unable to hold back any longer.

After being Mrs. Qiao for a few years, Li Chunhua thought she was all that important, and that everyone had to be subservient to her. Besides, this wasn't the Qiao family mansion.

"Chunhua, it's normal for a child to cry, why are you getting angry?" Qiao Tai said with some displeasure, seeing Li Chunhua's impatience.

Seeing Qiao Tai's displeased expression, Li Chunhua quickly explained, "Master, I'm afraid that our Qiao Dun will also cause trouble later."

"If you're so capable, then don't come with us!" He Qing glanced at Li Chunhua with a cold smile, "You're the wife of the Qiao family. It's beneath your dignity to mingle with us peasants."

Along the way, she felt angry whenever she saw Li Chunhua, thinking about how Li Chunhua had abandoned her older brother and caused him such a miserable life.

However, over the past few years, she has come to realize that when she is isolated and helpless, everyone only cares about themselves, including her parents.

Even the eldest brother weighed the pros and cons, and only Zhao Lian took in the three of them, so now she doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.

If Li Chunhua hadn't said those words, He Qing wouldn't have wanted to argue with her.

Li Chunhua's face flushed red and then paled. Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything more. It wasn't that she didn't want to argue, but she was afraid He Qing would say something offensive again. After all, there were some things she didn't want Qiao Tai to know.

As they were talking, Qiao Dun started making a fuss too: "Mother, I'm thirsty too. Is there any water? I want to drink some water."

"Master, what should we do? We really don't have a single drop of water left!" Li Chunhua said with a distressed expression.

"Sigh~ What can I do?" Qiao Tai was panting heavily, his mouth dry; he was thirsty too.

After walking such a distance, he clearly felt that he was getting old and useless, his legs were not flexible anymore, and he didn't know how much longer he could hold on.

He was still in a daze, his cloudy eyes looking at Jordan and Qiao Feng.

The daughter-in-law, Ling Yun, held her grandson, Qiao Zhen, looking haggard. It seemed that she hadn't had enough breast milk these past few days, and her grandson was fussy and hungry.

Granddaughter Qiao Xin has been relying on Ling Yun and Jordan, and has been eating irregularly lately. Qiao Xin's face looks even more slender now.

The two sons were unshaven and exhausted, a far cry from their usual handsome faces, and looked several years older.

Anyway, everyone's situation doesn't seem to be much better.

Looking at the Liu family, Liu Laogen and Yan Guihua, who have worked hard for many years, are physically stronger than me, and their situation seems much better.

Liu's sons came from poor families and were used to hardship. Although they looked haggard, they were in much better condition than Liu's two sons.

Seeing his father looking at him, Jordan knew what he meant and said, "Dad, Zhaolian has a lot of ideas. Let's see what she has to say."

Zhao Lian walked around the kitchen but found nothing edible, so she came out disappointed.

Jordan quickly went to greet her: "Zhao Lian, everyone's out of water right now, what are we going to do?"

Zhao Lian rolled her eyes and scoffed, "I'm a human, not a god. You're a grown man, and you ask me everything. I should be asking you the same thing!"

"You must remember that you are now a fugitive, no longer the high and mighty Young Master Qiao you once were. Your family is counting on you!"

"What else can we do? Right now, we have a place to stay. After settling the elderly and children in, we should split up and go out for a walk. We can't just sit here and wait to die. Let's go out and see if we can find something to eat."

Jordan's face flushed red and then turned pale after hearing this.

Yes, in terms of age, I am almost half a year older than Zhao Lian, but I still have to ask her for everything.

She's right. We're not in the Qiao family mansion anymore, and I'm not some young master anymore. Everyone's the same; my wife and kids still have to rely on me.

Seeing Jordan's embarrassed expression, Zhao Lian knew he was losing face.

She didn't care whether Jordan was embarrassed or not. The reason she spoke to him directly was because she wanted to give him a warning.

He needed to come to terms with the fact that he was no longer the pampered young master Qiao he once was.

Everyone is fleeing now, regardless of status or rank. He needs to connect with the people. When people are fleeing together, they naturally want to strengthen the group, not find burdens to drag them down.

"Dad, you'd better be careful." Ling Yun said with a worried expression, knowing that Jordan was going out.

She knew that Jordan had never suffered hardship growing up, and although he had become much more mature in recent years, he was still not from a poor family.

Jordan smiled slightly and quickly comforted Ling Yun: "Yun'er, don't worry about me. You take good care of Gu Zhen'er and Qiao Xin."

Seeing Ling Yun's worry, Qiao Feng quickly said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm here! I'll go out with my brother."

"Qiao Feng, I feel much more at ease with you by your older brother's side. If you really can't find anything, come back as soon as possible!"

"Yes, I know!"

Seeing that they still hadn't left, Li Chunhua grew impatient and rolled her eyes: "He's over thirty years old, do you think he can't take care of himself?"

"Stop wasting time here. Let's go find something to eat before it gets dark! Look how thirsty your dad is."

Li Chunhua wasn't concerned about Qiao Tai at all; she was just using the pretense of caring for the master to actually worry about her own son, Qiao Dun, not having enough to eat or drink.

Jordan, with a half-smile, said, "Third Aunt, since you care so much about Father, why don't you come out with us?"

"Hehe~"

Li Chunhua smiled guiltily: "I would like to, but Qiaodun is still young and your father is getting old. I have to stay by your father's side to take care of him."

"Humph~"

Jordan snorted coldly: "Third Aunt, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't give me that nonsense, as if you're the only one who cares about Dad. Your approach won't work on me."

"You'd better genuinely care about my dad and not try anything funny."

Li Chunhua immediately shouted, "Master, I swear to God, since I married you, I have never dared to have any disloyal thoughts. But look, Jordan doesn't take me seriously at all. He clearly doesn't respect you either."

Qiao Tai said with a stern face, "Jordan, how dare you talk to your mother like that? Alright, it's getting dark, go and come back soon."

snort!

Jordan remained silent.

After discussing it, before it got dark, the Jordan brothers, Teng Fu and his son Chen Yong, and Liu Jinzhu and his brother went out to wander around and see if they could find some food or drink in the village.

Zhao Lian couldn't sit still either; she had to go out for a stroll, but she planned to go out by herself.

"Zhao Lian, I'm worried about you going out alone. I'd better come with you." Seeing Zhao Lian preparing to leave, Qiao Feng walked to her side, thinking of going out with her.
