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

Zhao Lian raised the gift box in her hand: "Sister Song, these are some of my special snacks that I brought for you to try."

Song Ting scolded, "You silly child, why did you bring something when you came to my place!" Although she said that, she still accepted the gift, since Zhao Lian said that she made it.

After saying this, Song Ting realized that there was another girl standing behind Zhao Lian.

The girl looked to be about the same age as Zhao Lian, but slightly shorter, with wheat-colored skin. Her features resembled Zhao Lian's, but she had a larger frame and looked a bit rougher.

"Hey, who's this girl?"

Zhao Lian then remembered that Zhao Di was still with them, and quickly turned around: "Big sister, let me introduce you, this is my god-sister, who is also Brother Song's sister."

Zhao Di smiled and nodded: "Sister Song, Happy New Year!"

"Sister Song, this is my second sister, Zhaodi."

Song Ting pointed to the chairs next to her. "Come on, you two sit down, don't just stand there talking."

At this moment, a maidservant brought up tea and snacks: "Please have some tea, ladies. And this is some water chestnut cake that the kitchen just made."

The pastries looked crystal clear, and Zhao Di swallowed hard.

Zhao Lian didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and then picked up a pastry to eat.

Seeing Zhao Lian start eating, Zhao Di also started eating.

The water chestnut cake was fragrant and sweet but not cloying, and Zhao Di couldn't resist eating two pieces.

"This water chestnut cake is really good." Zhao Lian ate with lingering enjoyment.

"Heng'er, quickly greet them, this is Sister Zhaolian, this is Sister Zhaodi~" Song Ting pulled her son Tong Heng out from behind her.

Tong Heng didn't call anyone, but looked at Zhao Lian with a strange expression and asked, "My second uncle said you have three heads and six arms and are as strong as an ox, but you don't look like it!"

Seeing Tong Heng's unrestrained speech, Song Ting immediately scolded, "Heng'er, how dare you speak like that?"

Tong Heng said in a serious tone, "That's what my second uncle said. He said that Sister Zhao Lian has three heads and six arms, and long fangs. She can carry a big wild ox all by herself."

Song Ting was speechless: "What's wrong with your second uncle? Why is he talking to you like this? By the way, you haven't done your calligraphy practice today, hurry up and go to your study."

Fearing her son might say something strange again, Song Ting quickly sent him away. Then, looking embarrassed, she said, "Zhao Lian, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Well, I didn't expect Song Wenjie to talk about me like that behind my back." Instead of being angry, Zhao Lian smiled.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect I'd become so famous."

"Little sister, are you alright?"

Seeing Zhao Lian's inexplicable smile, Zhao Di became somewhat worried.

"It's alright. I didn't expect Brother Song to think so highly of me. I guess I can't let him down."

Zhao Lian and Song Ting exchanged a few pleasantries before Zhao Lian opened the gift box.

Upon seeing the contents of the gift box, Song Ting was immediately delighted: "Zhao Lian, so you made this! Your brother-in-law ordered fifty boxes from your shop before the New Year to give as gifts."

"Oh~ So that man was my brother-in-law." Zhao Lian remembered that around the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, a well-dressed middle-aged man did order more than 50 boxes from her.

"This stuff you made is really delicious." Song Ting picked up a piece of puffed rice and took a crunchy bite. Of all the things she made, this puffed rice was her favorite; the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became.

The two sat and chatted for a while, then Zhao Lian said she had to leave, but Song Ting asked her to stay for dinner.

"Zhaolian, you and your second sister have come all this way, why don't you have a meal here before you leave?"

Zhao Lian stood up and waved her hands repeatedly: "Sister Song, I have to go. I have to go to visit a fellow villager. I'll definitely have dinner with you next time I have the chance."

Before leaving, Song Ting gave Zhao Lian and Zhao Di each a red envelope.

As soon as she stepped out of the Tong family's gate, Zhao Di eagerly opened the red envelope, only to find that it contained one tael of silver.

Zhao Di's eyes widened: "Wow! This red envelope is huge, it actually contains a tael of silver."

"Shh~ Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you," Zhao Lian quickly reminded her not to get carried away, after all, they were on the street.

During the Lunar New Year, Zhao Lian didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

After hearing Zhao Lian's instructions, Zhao Di stuck out her tongue and quickly put the red envelope into her inner pocket.

"Little sister, where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the Qiao residence first, and then to the Song residence." Originally, Zhao Lian didn't plan to go to see Song Wenjie, but she didn't see him at Song Ting's place, so she had no choice but to go herself.

When the two sisters arrived at the Qiao residence, they were surprised to find that Qiao Feng was not home.

According to Ling Yun, the restaurant is doing good business, and they didn't even take a holiday during the Spring Festival. The two brothers are busy at the restaurant.

As it was almost noon, Ling Yun asked the kitchen to start cooking earlier. By the time Zhao Lian finished eating and came out, it was already afternoon.

The Song residence was three streets away from the Qiao residence, about a 10-minute walk.

Originally, Zhao Lian only wanted to deliver the gift to him and that would be enough.

After entering the house, Zhao Di and Zhao Lian followed the housekeeper inside. As they passed through the garden, they suddenly heard a sharp sound.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? How many times have I told you, this floor has to be swept clean. What's the point of keeping you around if you can't even sweep properly?"

Zhao Lian was immediately drawn to the sound of voices and looked in the direction of the voices.

I saw a girl sweeping fallen leaves under a tree with a large broom. A gust of wind blew by, and new leaves appeared where she had just swept them.

The girl could only continue sweeping. An old woman stood to the side, looking imperious, gesturing with her hands on her hips.

The girl spoke up: "Aunt Liu, the fallen leaves on this tree fall down with the wind, and I can't sweep them all up like this."

"You're still being stubborn. I told you to sweep, so sweep." The old woman got even angrier when she saw the girl talking back.

This voice seems familiar!

Zhao Lian stopped and looked over.

The other person just looked up and was surprised to find that the girl was none other than Zhao Feng.

Zhao Lian was stunned.

"Little sister, what are you doing?"

Zhao Di, who was following behind, almost bumped into Zhao Lian and couldn't help but mutter.

"Second sister, look who's that? Doesn't she look like eldest sister?"

"Big sister? How is that possible?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Di froze before she could finish speaking.

My younger sister is right, that is indeed my older sister. However, she is visibly thinner now.

"Big sister~"

Zhao Di shouted happily and waved at her.

Zhao Feng heard Zhao Di's voice and looked up. She thought she had misheard, but she actually saw her younger sister.

Zhao Di was waving happily at her when she saw Zhao Lian standing next to her, and Zhao Feng's smile froze on her face.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and sweep the floor. Don't forget that the young master didn't buy you here to be a freeloader."

Seeing that Zhao Feng had stopped, the old woman beside her started cursing again.
