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

Despite his thin frame, Zhao Fu is quite strong, and he is at least five years older than Qiao Dun.

When Qiao Dun first rushed over, he didn't react in time, but he quickly came to his senses. He flipped over and pinned Qiao Dun to the ground, then raised his hand and began slapping Qiao Dun's face repeatedly.

"Waaaaah~" Qiao Dun started crying.

"Look at you, daring to hit me! I'll beat you to death!" Zhao Fu cursed as he hit him.

Recalling the grievances he had suffered over the years, Zhao Fu vented all his anger on Qiao Dun.

They were both born of the same mother, so why was he treated like a young master while she was left at home struggling to make ends meet and constantly worrying about food?

He Mu was initially anxious watching the two of them fight, but now that he saw Zhao Fu gaining the upper hand, he was no longer worried.

This young master who has never suffered should be taught a lesson, made to learn a hard lesson so he'll remember it.

At the same time, the pain is definitely felt by Li Chunhua, since she has lived such a comfortable life all these years.

"Stop fighting! You two, stop fighting!" Zhao Feng tried to separate them, but Zhao Fu held Qiao Dun down tightly, so it was no use.

Li Chunhua was anxious and quickly stepped forward. She found that Qiao Dun had been beaten black and blue, his face was in pain, and there were several bloody marks on his face from Zhao Fu's scratches. She felt extremely distressed.

"Mother~ Help me~" Qiao Dun cried out in terror as he pleaded with Li Chunhua for help.

He was scared at this point. Zhao Fu was on top of him and pinned him down. He was no match for Zhao Fu's strength, and Zhao Fu showed no mercy, beating him mercilessly.

"Zhao Fu, let go!" Li Chunhua tried her best to pull Zhao Fu, but found it was no use.

They could only pry his hands open and shout at Zhao Feng, "Zhao Feng, what are you standing there for? Quickly pull Zhao Fu away!"

Originally, Zhao Feng was anxious to separate the two of them, but now that Li Chunhua had yelled at her like that, she was no longer in a hurry.

What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, Zhao Fu has the upper hand now, and it's not Zhao Fu who's getting beaten up.

Li Chunhua is usually so arrogant, she deserves to know what it feels like to be hurt.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng's lips curled up, and she said in a sarcastic tone, "Second Madam~ Oh, no! Madam Qiao~ Oh, no, that's not right either!"

"Li Chunhua, who do you think you are? You are nothing now. You are neither my stepmother nor the high and mighty Madam Qiao. Why should I listen to you?"

Ah Feng's words stunned Li Chunhua. She hadn't expected that after not seeing Ah Feng for several years, Ah Feng had become so sharp-tongued.

Of the three sisters, she was the kindest, the most docile, and the easiest to manage.

But to my surprise, after not seeing her for several years, her personality had undergone a complete 180-degree change.

Not only was Li Chunhua surprised, but even He Mu was surprised.

He felt that Zhao Feng had changed at some point, and this change in her personality caught him off guard. Sometimes he couldn't even guess what Zhao Feng was thinking.

Seeing Qiao Dun beaten black and blue by Zhao Fu, and hearing his cries, Li Chunhua's heart ached. She could only run to He Mu and tug at his clothes, pleading, "Please, make Zhao Fu stop!"

Looking at the face swaying in front of him, He Mu felt that Li Chunhua was both familiar and unfamiliar.

After living a life of luxury for several years, Li Chunhua's skin looked delicate and fair, and she appeared younger and more beautiful.

Although I've been living a very rough life lately, my skin is still noticeably better than before.

After all, they were husband and wife. Thinking back to the past, He Mu was momentarily lost in thought.

He hadn't touched a woman for seven or eight years. He thought he would hate Li Chunhua to the core when he saw her, but unexpectedly, seeing her again now, he felt a longing rise in his heart.

Over the years, he had become indifferent and even thought he had lost some function. But unexpectedly, when he was with Li Chunhua, he regained that feeling.

The woman before him had once been his wife, someone he had slept in the same bed with. But later, she despised his poverty and slept with an old man instead.

Thinking of this, He Mu felt disgusted again and brushed Li Chunhua's hand away with disgust: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's normal for kids to play around. Zhao Fu and he are just playing around. We adults shouldn't interfere."

Unexpectedly, He Mu ignored her. Li Chunhua had no choice but to pull on Zhao Fu and cry out for him to stop.

After a while, Zhao Fu got tired and finally rolled off Qiao Dun.

Li Chunhua quickly helped Qiao Dun up and checked his injuries.

Qiao Dun was bruised and swollen, with a black mark under his eye, bloodstains on his face, and blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Li Chunhua felt extremely distressed and wiped the blood from Qiao Dun's mouth: "Dun'er, it's all my fault."

Qiao Dun slapped Li Chunhua's hand away and glared at her resentfully: "It's all your fault! I'm doing just fine with Dad and my older brothers, why do you have to drag me along with you? I hate you!"

Zhao Fu put his hands on his hips and sneered, "If you're so capable, why don't you leave us and go find your rich old man!"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Dun actually turned around and went down the mountain. Li Chunhua rushed forward to pull him, saying anxiously, "Dun'er, where are you going? It's so chaotic outside. What if you run into bad people?"

"Mother, I want to go find Father!"

He Mu said with a gloomy face, "Don't stop him, let him go. Anyway, there's nothing else to eat outside, but there are plenty of people who eat children."

These words frightened Qiao Dun so much that he dared not leave. Seeing that he no longer insisted on leaving, Li Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that all this trouble had delayed them, He Mu decided not to leave that night. Since they had already lost Zhao Lian, they would have to rely on themselves from now on.

We'll rest here for the night and see if we can find something to eat before continuing our journey tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Zhao Lian couldn't find Zhao Feng and Jordan, nor could she find He Qing and Chen Guang. With no other option, she had to return the way she came.

When Zhao Lian returned, Liu Jinzhu and the others had not yet come back. Seeing that it was still early, Zhao Lian also planned to wander around the mountain to see if she could find some food.

After looking around and not finding Liu Jinzhu and the others, Zhao Lian continued walking up the mountain.

The mountains here have a lot of trees and wild grass growing on the ground, and it's lush and green. Zhao Lian had an idea and headed towards the hollow in the mountain.

The sun was already setting in the west, and Zhao Lian felt a slight damp coolness. She was immediately delighted because she could smell water.

Continuing forward, Zhao Lian saw bamboo and vaguely heard the sound of dripping water, as well as the sound of people talking. Zhao Lian quickly quickened her pace.

"Big brother, here it is! We found it! There's water here!" Suddenly, an excited voice rang out.

Zhao Lian recognized the voice as Liu Tongzhu's, and she quickened her pace.

"Uncle, Second Uncle, where are you?" Zhao Lian's voice echoed in the valley.

"Zhao Lian! It's Zhao Lian! Zhao Lian, we're here!"

Upon hearing Zhao Lian's voice, Liu Jinzhu responded excitedly.
