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

Passing by the house where San Niu had just been rescued, Zhao Lian saw that the door was tightly closed. She wondered if the woman and the others were still inside. With that thought in mind, Zhao Lian knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door a few times and hearing no response, Zhao Lian turned to leave when a wary voice sounded from behind the door.

“谁～”

It was a man's voice. Zhao Lian was stunned. There was only the woman and her three children inside just now. Who was this man who had appeared?

Suddenly, Zhao Lian realized that this was probably the woman's husband, who had been out earlier and should be back now.

Thinking of this, Lian tentatively asked, "Is San Niu feeling better?"

"Father, open the door quickly! This is the person who saved my life!" The woman's voice rang out from inside.

The door creaked open, and in the darkness, a burly middle-aged man appeared behind it, with the woman standing behind him.

"Auntie, is San Niu feeling better?"

The woman's words revealed her worry: "I'm much better, but I still feel a bit hot."

"If only we could find some water, but unfortunately we can't. Auntie, here, take these fruits. They're very juicy. Give San Niu a few more to see if they can bring down his fever." Zhao Lian grabbed a handful of fruits and gave them to her.

"Thank you, thank you so much, young lady," the man said, his voice choked with emotion.

The family fled here. In the afternoon, he went out to see if he could find something to eat. When he returned in the evening, his wife told him everything that had happened that day.

"Alright, you all need to keep a close eye on San Niu tonight, and give him a few more of these fruits to eat."

When Zhao Lian returned to her lodgings, she found that Liang Chong, Teng Fu, and Jordan had all come back, and even Chen Yong and his son had returned, but her uncles had not yet returned.

Seeing her return, Sun Shangxiang anxiously went up to her: "Zhaolian, have you seen your eldest and second uncles?"

Zhao Lian was taken aback: "What? Haven't they returned yet?"

"That's right! I thought they were with you!" Yan Guihua immediately became anxious as well.

"No, I have to go find them." Zheng Xiuzhen couldn't wait any longer and started walking out.

Zhao Lian quickly grabbed her arm: "Second Aunt, it's so late at night, where are you going to look? It's pitch black outside, what if something happens to you if you go out? Don't worry."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lian asked Jordan and Chen Yong, and they all said that after leaving the gate, they went their separate ways and didn't know where Liu Jinzhu and the others had gone.

Jordan and Qiao Feng went out for a walk, but couldn't find anything, so they came back.

Chen Guang lamented, "If I had known they hadn't returned yet, I would have followed them when I left home this morning."

Seeing that Chen Guang was somewhat remorseful, Liu Laogen said, "It's alright, don't worry about it."

"Second brother's wife, don't worry. The brothers are all together, they'll be fine. Maybe they found something good and just missed the appointed time." Liu Laogen said this, but he wasn't sure himself.

But thinking that his sons had gone out together, they could at least look out for each other, so nothing bad could happen.

"Auntie, Auntie, don't worry, why don't we wait a little longer?"

"This won't do, no, I still have to go find them!" Zheng Xiuzhen said, and started to walk out.

"Hey, Second Aunt, come back! Or should I go instead?" Zhao Lian pulled Zheng Xiuzhen back.

Just as Zhao Lian was about to leave, Liu Jinzhu and the others returned.

Seeing Zhao Lian walk out, Liu Jinzhu looked surprised: "Zhao Lian, where are you going so late at night?"

Seeing them return, Zhao Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle, you're finally back! I was just about to look for you. Why are you only coming back now?"

Before they could speak, in the dim light, Zhao Lian saw that Liu Jinzhu and his brothers looked rather disheveled.

Liu Jinzhu's eyelids were swollen, and his eyes were narrowed to slits. Liu Yinzhu's mouth looked like sausage lips, which greatly surprised Zhao Lian.

Seeing Liu Jinzhu and the others' appearance, Zhao Lian's first thought was that they had been beaten up, and she immediately became indignant: "Uncle, Second Uncle, what happened to your faces? Were you beaten up? Who hit you? I'm going to find them."

"Nobody attacked us!"

Liu Jinzhu's words were unexpected and quite surprising.

The man did return, but his face was so swollen that Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "Oh dear, father, no one hit you, so why is your face so swollen?"

Hey~

"We've got a lucky day," Liu Tongzhu said as he walked in with a smile.

Yan Guihua said irritably, "With your face swollen like that, what kind of luck do you expect!"

"Mother, you don't understand."

Jiang Si raised an eyebrow: "Dad, what good stuff could you possibly find?"

"Wife, I have something good to show you." With that, Liu Tongzhu presented a clay pot as if it were a treasure.

A sweet, cloying smell immediately wafted into Zhao Lian's nose.

Zhao Lian immediately asked instinctively, "Could there be honey in here?"

"How did you know?" Liu Tongzhu asked in surprise.

"So it's honey! Honey is such a good thing!" Yan Guihua exclaimed excitedly.

Now everyone knew why their faces were swollen; they had been stung by bees.

Zhao Lian then asked, "Did you find this honey on the mountain, jar and all?"

"Hey! You're really amazing, Zhao Lian, how do you know everything?" Even Liu Yinzhu was surprised.

Zhao Lian's heart skipped a beat. Could it really be that sinister? This jar of honey looked exactly like the one she had found before. Could it both be filled with human bones?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lian quickly took the earthenware pot from Liu Tongzhu's hand and carefully examined it with a tinderbox.

The jar was about the same size as the one she had found before, and it was stuffed full of honey. Thinking of this, Zhao Lian said with a serious expression, "Third Uncle, go to the kitchen and see if you can find a bottle or jar. Bring it out quickly!"

"Zhao Lian, what are you so nervous about?" Liu Tongzhu asked, looking puzzled.

"Just go if I tell you to! What's with all the fuss?" Yan Guihua frowned.

She knew her granddaughter was definitely thinking something was wrong.

Liu Tongzhu quickly went into the kitchen and found a jar.

Zhao Lian carefully took out the pieces of honey one by one.

Smelling the sweet aroma of honey, Chen Fang, Qiao Xin, Qiao Dun, Da Ni, and Feng Ya all gathered around, watching Zhao Lian eagerly as she took out the honey.

This stuff is so sweet!

"Auntie, I want to eat honey." Qiao Xin swallowed.

Seeing them staring pitifully at the honey in their hands, Zhaolian broke off a little for each of them.

Zhao Feng squatted at the doorway, glancing over from time to time. This honey was delicious; she had tasted it once before when Zhao Lian brought it back.
