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

It turned out that the three people were none other than Zhao Feng, Zhao Fu, and Qiao Dun.

"My benefactor, we've been looking for you for so long, and we've finally found you." Zhao Feng looked embarrassed, her hands fidgeting nervously as she rubbed her clothes.

Song Wenjie frowned, his face full of disgust: "What are you doing here? Get out of here! I gave you ten taels of silver, and you've already spent it all?"

“I believe that the ten taels of silver will be enough for you to eat, after burying your parents.”

The three people in front of him were dressed in tattered clothes, just like when he first met them.

Song Wenjie knew that the ten taels of silver he gave them were more than enough to give their parents a dignified burial.

Moreover, after deducting some funeral expenses, the remaining money was enough for them to live on for a while, so they wouldn't be as destitute as they are now.

Unexpectedly, after I helped them, their lives didn't improve at all, and they even came back to me.

Faced with Song Wenjie's disgusted expression, Zhao Feng blushed, reached into her pocket with her right hand, took out a few taels of silver and handed it to Song Wenjie: "My benefactor, this is five taels of silver. We agreed that five taels of silver would buy my brother and me and make us work for you like cattle and horses."

"Now that we have buried our parents, you are at their service."

Zhao Feng's words surprised Song Wenjie. He hadn't expected that he had misunderstood them. Looking at the silver in Zhao Feng's hand, he didn't reach out to take it, but simply said, "Since the silver has been given to you, it's yours."

"Also, I have maids, I don't need you to be my slave, you should leave now."

After saying that, Song Wenjie ignored her and walked past Zhao Feng, banging on the door: "Afu, open the door quickly, it's me!"

"Young Master, you're finally back."

Upon seeing Song Wenjie, Afu beamed with delight: "Young Master, this afternoon a maid and two boys came looking for you, but I sent them away."

Before he could finish speaking, Afu spotted Zhao Feng behind Song Wenjie, and his smile froze on his face: "Why are you guys still here? Didn't I tell you to leave!"

Seeing Song Wenjie's unpleasant expression, Afu stammered, "Young Master, I did chase them away, but I didn't expect them to still be here."

"Get them out of here!"

After uttering those words, Song Wenjie walked straight through the door with a cold face.

Seeing Song Wenjie's angry expression, Afu knew that the young master was in a bad mood, and immediately became impatient and continued to drive him away: "Go, go, go! I told you to leave, don't stay here, but you still shamelessly pester me."

"Now that you've seen our young master, you should give up on that idea and leave!"

"My benefactor, please listen to us!"

With a bang, Afu slammed the door shut! Zhao Feng's unfinished words caught in her throat.

"Big sister, I'm hungry, let's go!" Qiao Dun tugged at Zhao Feng's sleeve.

"What do you know? All you do is eat all day long!" Zhao Fu glared at Qiao Dun, annoyed. "If I hadn't promised Mother, I would have thrown you away long ago."

Qiao Dun was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth. Now that his mother was dead, he had no one else to rely on but these so-called older brothers and sisters.

Although they spoke harshly to him, they still left him some food so that he wouldn't starve.

Seeing that Qiaodun had shut his mouth, Zhaofu looked at Zhaofeng and said in a gruff voice, "Big sister, no one wants us. Let's go. Anyway, we still have some money, enough for us to eat for a while."

Zhao Feng shook her head: "What do you know! We have nowhere else to go, and we only have so much money. We'll run out of money soon, and we can't survive without anyone to rely on!"

"What can we do? Nobody wants us!"

"Wait! We'll wait right at the door! I refuse to believe it."

Zhao Feng's eyes were fixed on the grand and imposing mansion before her. She knew her judgment; she was certain that her benefactor would keep them there.

These days, nowhere is safe. She has to take care of two brats all by herself, so she definitely needs to find someone to rely on. And this admiral is definitely a good choice.

Although he looked serious and unapproachable, Zhao Feng was confident that he would make them stay.

Zhao Feng found a sheltered spot by the gate and sat down. She then took out a few flatbreads from her bosom and handed one to each of Zhao Fu and Qiao Dun.

It was freezing cold, and the ground was icy cold. Even through my cotton trousers, I still felt cold.

After finishing the flatbread in his hand, Qiao Dun was still not satisfied and looked pitifully at the flatbread in Zhao Feng's hand.

Zhao Feng turned her face away and ignored him.

Qiao Dun has a huge appetite; he's almost as big as both of them. If her father hadn't told her to take good care of Qiao Dun and Zhao Fu before he died, she wouldn't have wanted to bring him along.

Zhao Feng knew her father's thoughts; it wasn't simply because he was Li Chunhua's son that he wanted her to take special care of him.

That's because Qiao Dun is Master Qiao's son. If he were to run into Master Qiao one day, perhaps because they took care of Qiao Dun, Master Qiao would take extra care of Zhao Fu and Zhao Feng. That way, he would feel at ease and would be able to live up to Li Chunhua's expectations.

As night deepened, the bleak north wind howled, and the three of them sat huddled together in a corner.

"Big sister, I'm cold~"

By the dim light of the lantern overhead, Zhao Lian saw that Qiao Dun's nose was red from the cold.

"Here, quickly cover yourself with these clothes!" Zhao Feng took out two thin garments from her bundle and handed one to Zhao Fu and Qiao Dun.

They had hardly any clothes to begin with, wearing almost everything they had on their bodies. These few pieces were just thin summer clothes, but something was better than nothing.

"Big sister, I'm still cold!" Qiao Dun exhaled warm breath and couldn't help but shiver.

Zhao Feng stretched out her hand: "Come on~ move closer to your older sister! Zhao Fu, you move closer too~"

Zhao Fu didn't say anything, but moved his buttocks to the side next to Zhao Feng.

The three huddled together for warmth. Qiao Dun'er felt less cold and gradually stopped shivering, eventually falling asleep.

Listening to Zhao Hu and Qiao Dun's even breathing, Zhao Feng knew that they were both asleep, but she was wide awake.

Sitting like this isn't a solution; it would be troublesome if I got sick in this freezing weather.

Get ill!

Zhao Feng's eyes lit up; this was a good idea.

Her gaze lingered on Qiaodun, and at that moment, Zhaolian had an idea.

"Qiao Dun, don't blame me, I had no other choice."

Seeing that Qiaodun was sleeping soundly, Zhaofeng slowly stood up, removed the clothes covering him, and covered Zhaofu with them. She then sat down next to Zhaofu.

Jordan felt cold in his sleep and unconsciously curled up into a ball.

Zhao Feng pulled the clothes covering Zhao Fu up a little higher, then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Zhao Feng was awakened by the cold. When she opened her eyes, she realized that it had started raining sometime during the day.
