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

"Sister, spare me! I'll never do it again!" Huang Liang cried out, clutching his head.

"Bullshit! Who are you calling 'sister'? Am I that old?" Zhao Lian smacked him on the butt with a stick.

"Ouch~"

Huang Liang covered his buttocks with his hands, frowned and shouted, "Sister, sister, stop hitting me!"

"Who's your sister!" Zhao Lian shouted angrily, and then gently tapped Huang Liang's head with the stick again.

Huang Liang was just covering his butt when Zhao Lian slapped his head again. He was really too busy with his head to care about his butt.

Calling her "older sister" is inappropriate, and calling her "younger sister" is also inappropriate. Huang Liang immediately dared not speak carelessly.

"Tell me honestly, besides robbing me, who else did you rob today?" Zhao Lian kicked Huang Liang: "Speak up!"

Huang Liang shrank his neck and said cautiously, "I stole an old woman's purse this morning."

"stand up."

Huang Liang was squatting on the ground when he suddenly heard Zhao Lian tell him to stand up, and he hadn't even reacted yet.

"Get up quickly!"

Zhao Lian brandished the stick in her hand and kicked Huang Liang: "Didn't you ask me to spare your life? Get up now."

Huang Liang, not understanding the situation, quickly stood up.

Zhao Lian brandished the wooden stick in her hand and warned Huang Liang, "Take out all the money you have on you, and hurry up and leave."

Huang Liang immediately looked miserable: "Grandma, where would I get any money? If I had money, I wouldn't be robbing you."

Zhao Lian glared at him: "Don't you ever learn? Why am I being called 'Grandma' again? Why are you calling me so old!" With that, she picked up the stick and hit his leg again.

"Didn't you say you robbed an old woman of her money? Give me back that money."

"Ouch~"

Huang Liang clutched his foot and jumped up.

"Hurry up and hand over the money," Zhao Lian said, waving the stick in her hand at Huang Liang.

Huang Liang looked dejected. He had intended to rob her, but instead, he was the one being robbed. This little girl looked only a few years old; he couldn't believe he couldn't even beat her.

If this gets out, where will I put my face in the future? But a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; I'll get through this first.

Thinking of this, Huang Liang reached into his pocket and took out a money bag that had been washed until it was almost white.

There were dozens of copper coins and a couple of pieces of silver inside. He had stolen them from an old woman that morning.

I never imagined that the money I robbed would end up benefiting this young girl instead of me spending it.

"This is all the money I have," Huang Liang said dejectedly, handing over the silver.

Zhao Lian snatched it away, weighed it in her hand, and asked, "Is that all? Is there any more?"

"It's all gone, really all gone. I don't have a single copper coin left."

Fearing that Zhao Lian wouldn't believe him, Huang Liang turned over the pockets on his body again.

"Alright, let's go!" Zhao Lian waved the stick in her hand at him.

"Can I really go now?" Huang Liang's eyes lit up.

"Nonsense, you want to get beaten up if you don't leave?" Zhao Lian raised the stick in her hand and said fiercely, "Get out of here before I change my mind."

"Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you." After saying that, Zhao Lian kicked Huang Liang again.

Upon hearing this, Huang Liang quickly ran out, afraid that Zhao Lian would change her mind. He didn't dare to look back, and accidentally fell to the ground. He quickly got up and continued running.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Huang Liang run away without looking back, Zhao Lian burst into laughter.

With his audacity, he only dares to bully those weaker than him. He's lazy and good-for-nothing. Let's teach him a lesson and see if he dares to rob people on the road again.

Watching Huang Liang walk away, Zhao Lian looked at the money bag in her hand, a blue one that had been washed until it was almost white.

There seems to be a character embroidered on it. Because it's in traditional Chinese characters, it looks like the character "Chen". However, Zhao Lian isn't sure, and he doesn't know which old woman he stole.

Thinking that the other person must be extremely anxious about losing their purse, Zhao Lian put the purse back into her pocket.

She threw down the stick in her hand, picked up her basket, and continued on her way home.

By now, most of the people who went to the market had probably already gone home, and Zhao Lian didn't encounter anyone else along the way.

The midday sun was scorching, and after walking for a short while, Zhao Lian was covered in sweat and felt the basket on her back become heavy again.

She was tired and thirsty, so she sat down to rest for a while. There was only one sip of water left. After drinking the water, she tied the water gourd back up and stood up again.

It seems I'll have to think of a solution later, maybe make a handcart. That would reduce the strain on my shoulders.

Carrying it like that, let alone being tired, the rope alone makes my shoulders ache.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Lian stopped to rest at the foot of the mountain again. She knew that once she crossed this mountain, she would be able to see Datian Village.

Exhausted and thirsty, she suddenly heard the sound of flowing water and quickly began searching for it.

Following the sound of flowing water, she saw a small ditch with crystal-clear water and some small stones at the bottom.

Zhao Lian washed her hands downstream, then scooped up some water upstream and drank it.

The mountain spring water is sweet and delicious. One sip and you feel refreshed and thirst-quenched. After drinking a few mouthfuls and washing your face, a breeze blows and you feel extremely comfortable.

Suddenly, Zhao Lian saw several small crabs crawling along the edge of the ditch. Their shells were about the size of a one-yuan coin, and their legs were covered in hair.

Zhao Lian knew that these were mountain crabs. Although they were small and didn't have much meat, they were very valuable.

It costs fifty or sixty yuan per kilogram, and it is said to have many benefits, including treating bone injuries, leg pain, and back pain. People in big cities who have money can't buy it even if they want to.

Zhao Lian had an idea. Even mosquitoes are still food, no matter how small. She could catch them and make porridge. Although they didn't have much meat, they were very nutritious. If she ate more of them, she could grow taller.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lian quickly put down her basket and picked up the crab. The crab had eight legs and two pincers.

If you grab it and it runs away, Zhao Lian looks around and sees some toad vines nearby, so she quickly pulls up a few small toad vines.

I carefully caught a large one, but the crab reacted extremely quickly. As soon as I grabbed it, its claws snapped at me.

Zhao Lian quickly threw the crab to the ground, then stomped on it and tied it up with toad vines.

After tying one up and tossing it aside, she started searching again. She didn't know where the other two had gone. Zhao Lian carefully turned over the grass by the ditch with a stick.

Suddenly, she spotted the two crabs and quickly started catching them. In no time, Zhaolian had caught five crabs of various sizes.

Looking at the few crabs on the ground, Zhao Lian smiled. She searched carefully again, but didn't see any more, so she threw the crabs into her basket.

After crossing the mountain, Zhao Lian saw Datian Village and immediately felt less tired. Smoke was rising from the chimneys of many houses in the village.

The sun was high in the sky, probably past noon. Zhao Lian hurried and finally made it back to the village entrance.
