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

The others in the dilapidated temple couldn't stand it anymore. They didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, but they just couldn't bear it any longer.

The two men gruffly cursed Mu Sheng: "You son of a bitch, you're a disgrace to men! What kind of father are you? That's your own daughter!"

"What a piece of trash! You're like a quail in front of your parents. It's right to be filial to your parents, but it depends on the situation. You can't just blindly listen to them; that's just foolish filial piety!"

The two men's words made Mu Sheng's face turn red and white in turns.

In her anger, the old woman blurted out, "Don't show off your good deeds here. If you're so capable, why don't you raise his child for him?"

"If you don't have the ability, shut up and stop worrying about things that aren't your business. You're just being nosy! If you have that kind of free time, you might as well go find something to eat yourself."

“It’s just a matter of you saying something, but our Musheng works so hard. You can’t even support yourself, what right do you have to meddle in other people’s family affairs!”

"You—you—you old woman are simply unreasonable!"

The old woman's words infuriated the two men.

They wanted to help, but they were all in dire straits themselves, barely able to save themselves, let alone help others.

"Father, say something! Please persuade Mother to put the child down!" The man named Musheng turned to the old man and begged him.

At this moment, the old man looked at him with a look of disappointment and frustration: "Musheng, you are the only son in our family for nine generations. Our family line cannot end with you. Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants."

“Xiuzhen gave birth to these few money-losing children, and she can’t even have a son. We’re about to starve to death, but we have to save you no matter what.”

“You are the lifeblood of our family. Your mother is right. There’s not much to eat right now, and we can’t save this baby anyway. We might as well use her to save our lives. You’re both still young, and Xiuzhen can have more children in the future.”

Upon hearing the old man's words, Mu Sheng immediately lowered his head dejectedly. His father's words had struck a nerve.

Because they had never had a son, they couldn't hold their heads up in the village, and their family was always looked down upon.

Parents are right. Given the current situation, even if this child is born, she won't survive. It's better to use her to save everyone's lives, since Xiuzhen can still have more children.

Mu Sheng looked at Xiu Zhen with a troubled expression, and hesitated before speaking, "Xiu Zhen, your parents are right. We're still young, and we can have more children in the future."

Xiuzhen was in despair, her face filled with a sense of hopelessness. She had thought her husband would stand by her side, but she never expected that he had also been brainwashed by his parents.

Hahahaha~ Hahahaha~

Unexpectedly, Xiuzhen burst into laughter, her smile so sinister and terrifying that it sent chills down one's spine.

Everyone present was stunned, wondering what Xiuzhen was up to. Even the old woman was dumbfounded. Had her daughter-in-law gone mad with fright?

Two thin, pale-faced little girls rushed forward and hugged their mother, crying out repeatedly, "Mommy, please don't do this, I'm scared!"

As she laughed, Xiuzhen's tears began to flow. She laughed and cried at the same time, looking so heartbreaking.

Xiuzhen pointed at Musheng with a face full of grief and indignation: "You beast! Li Musheng, I have been married to you all these years, and I have never complained about being your slave."

"Just because I gave birth to several girls, your family has never treated me like a human being. I'm always hungry and cold, and I work tirelessly from dawn till dusk, but I can't even get a kind word from you in return."

“I tolerated it for the sake of the two children, but now that this child has just been born, your mother actually said she wants to use her to fill her stomach.”

"Are you even human? You're worse than animals! As the child's father, not only did you not say a word for me, you actually agreed! You will definitely get your retribution!"

Hahaha~ Hahahaha~

Xiuzhen started laughing sadly again. Looking at her two daughters holding her, she said helplessly, "Da Ya, Er Ya, it's all my fault for bringing you into this family. If I'm gone, you two must take good care of yourselves."

The two girls seemed to realize something and clung to Xiuzhen, crying and refusing to let go.

Xiuzhen stroked the heads of her two children, then looked up at the baby in the old woman's arms. Her heart was filled with despair. She pushed her two daughters away and, with all her might, resolutely rammed her head against the wall.

"what!!!"

Everyone gasped.

The wall was only a meter away from Xiuzhen. Just as Xiuzhen was about to crash into the wall, in that split second, a figure flashed before her eyes.

It was Zhao Lian. She had been standing outside the door and had seen everything that happened inside the dilapidated temple.

Seeing that Xiuzhen was about to hit the wall, Zhaolian, in a moment of desperation, pressed Xiuzhen's pressure points to immobilize her, and then snatched the baby from the old woman's hands.

The child was frightened and cried loudly, though the cries were not as loud as they had been at the beginning.

Xiuzhen closed her eyes, resigned to her fate. To her surprise, despite the tremendous impact, her forehead didn't hurt at all.

Confused, she opened her eyes and found herself only an arm's length away from the wall. But then she realized she was frozen in place and couldn't move at all.

Just then, a voice above his head cursed loudly: "Birds of a feather flock together! How can there be such a vicious person? With nothing to eat or drink, they actually set their sights on their own granddaughter."

The old woman then realized that, without her noticing, the girl had snatched her granddaughter from her arms.

"This is our family matter, it's none of your business to interfere. Give me back my child!" The old woman was furious when she saw this and roared as she tried to rush over.

Zhao Lian quickly handed the baby to Sun Shangxiang: "Auntie, please take a look at this child."

Seeing that it was Zhaolian who had returned and taken the child back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Shangxiang quickly took the child to check on her, and Zheng Xiuzhen deftly took out a piece of clothing to wrap her up. The two of them worked together to cut the child's umbilical cord and tied it up with a thread.

The old woman ran quickly to Zhao Lian's side, her withered hands about to grab Zhao Lian's face.

Zhao Lian smirked coldly, and in an instant, she moved behind the old woman, using both hands and feet to punch and kick her.

He hit her with his hand while cursing, "I'll beat you to death, you old woman, you don't even deserve to be human."

In no time, the old woman was beaten black and blue, and she ran away covering her head.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" the old woman cried and begged for mercy.

"Mother~"

When Na Musheng saw his mother being beaten, he stepped forward to stop her, which further enraged Zhao Lian, who slapped him hard, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

Liu Jinzhu stepped forward with a solemn expression: "Zhaolian, quickly release the woman in labor and check on her condition. Leave this old woman to me and your second uncle."

The reason I didn't hit the old woman was because she was old and a woman.

But now that it was Mu Sheng's turn, he couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to teach him a lesson and show him how to behave.
