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

Being children, the three of them immediately became much more obedient after being frightened by Zhao Lian.

Zhao Lian looked up at the sun overhead. She had been out for more than an hour and needed to hurry up and dig for wild vegetables, otherwise she would go hungry again if she didn't have any when she got home.

Zhao Lian glared at the three of them: "You three hurry up and dig for wild vegetables, do you hear me? And when you get back, don't tell your mother and the others anything. If you do, I'll beat you to death." As she spoke, Zhao Lian raised her fist fiercely again.

"Hmm~"

"understood!"

At this moment, He Dong actually began to admire Zhao Lian, thinking to himself that it would be great if she would teach him kung fu.

He Dong tentatively asked, "Zhao Lian, could you teach me the kung fu that Grandpa Immortal taught you?"

"no!"

Zhao Lian shook her head: "This is a secret between me and Grandpa Immortal. You can't talk about it carelessly, or Grandpa Immortal will come after you."

He Dong was immediately disappointed.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Di looked at each other, unsure whether Zhao Lian was telling the truth or not.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go dig for wild vegetables." After saying that, Zhao Lian tossed the vegetable basket to them.

After his outburst, the three of them actually obeyed and started digging for wild vegetables.

Taking advantage of an opportunity, Zhao Feng asked Zhao Lian if there really was a divine grandfather.

Zhao Lian smiled mysteriously and nodded seriously, knowing that this was the only way she could deceive them.

He Jie grew up in the countryside and knew a lot about wild vegetables, so she was surprised to find that.

There's a huge patch of white cauliflower at the foot of this mountain. It's delicious; it's perfect for soups and stir-fries, though it's a little bitter.

But this bitterness is a characteristic of white flower vegetable, which makes her feel strange. In her memory, the original owner, Zhao Lian, seemed to have never picked this white flower vegetable before.

Did people back then not know that cauliflower was edible? That shouldn't be the case!

There's such a large patch of white cauliflower; if several people picked it all, they could fill this basket with cauliflower seeds.

Seeing that Zhao Feng and the others only knew how to dig up cudweed, and that this kind of wild vegetable was not very abundant.

Moreover, you can dig up a whole plant of mouse-feather grass at a time, and if you dig like this every day, of course there will be less and less of it, and it's also not easy to wash.

This stuff tastes good, but it's too much trouble.

Zhao Lian picked up her vegetable basket and walked over to the cauliflower on the side.

It hadn't rained for a while, so the cauliflowers here didn't look very tender, but they were still alright. At least they weren't infested with insects. Zhaolian picked up the tender leaf tips and pinched them.

Zhao Feng watched as Zhao Lian carried a vegetable basket and walked over there. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she saw Zhao Lian picking white cauliflower, which startled her.

Zhao Feng quickly shouted, "Zhao Lian, come back quickly! That thing is poisonous and can't be eaten!"

"Who said it's poisonous? This dish is delicious!" Zhao Lian said dismissively.

Zhao Di was terrified. Her older sister was right; this herb was indeed poisonous, just as her mother had said before.

Zhao Di also became anxious: "Zhao Lian, what my elder sister said is right, that herb is indeed poisonous."

Regardless of what the two women said, Zhao Lian still picked a whole basketful.

She'd eaten plenty of this vegetable before. Who said it was poisonous? If it were, it would have poisoned her to death long ago.

He Yue'e and He Fang exchanged a glance. They knew that the herb was indeed poisonous, because their grandmother and mother had told them so.

Grandma used to vomit and have diarrhea after eating this vegetable, and she almost lost her life. Now that they saw Zhaolian picking this herb, they were secretly pleased.

Now she doesn't need to complain herself; Grandma will give her a good scolding.

With the sun almost directly overhead, and estimating it to be past 11 o'clock, the group hurried home.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Di dug up quite a lot, enough to fill a small vegetable basket. He Dong and the other two dug up less, but still filled a small half basket.

I didn't take anything else except these white cauliflowers.

Along the way, she encountered many people who all regarded the white-flowered vegetables Zhao Lian picked as poisonous. They told her not to take the vegetables back, lest she be scolded again.

Zhao Lian smiled but remained silent in response to their words.

As they approached their doorstep, they ran into Wang Shi, who was surprised to see them returning.

Why are these kids all together today? It's rare to see them walking together like this.

"Zhaolian, where did you go? Let your third aunt see how the injury on your head is." Wang said with a smile.

"We just went to pick wild vegetables. My injury is almost healed. Thank you, Third Aunt." Zhao Lian smiled as soon as she saw Wang Shi. She knew that Wang Shi was a good person.

The sisters often went hungry, and it was this third aunt who would help them out from time to time.

After carefully examining Zhao Lian's head injury, Wang found that it had indeed healed considerably.

Some of the scabs have fallen off, but some are still stuck to my hair, so it seems they won't fall off easily anytime soon.

She had been worried that Zhao Lian might not be able to hold on, but now it seems that Zhao Lian is a lucky person.

At this moment, Wang saw that Zhaolian's vegetable basket contained white cauliflower. She was immediately shocked and said in a trembling voice, "Heavens! Why did you pick this? This is called black nightshade, and it's poisonous."

Zhao Lian found it strange; this was just an ordinary wildflower vegetable, so how could it be poisonous?

Anyway, I've tried it myself, and I didn't experience any other discomfort.

"Third Aunt, you've mistaken me for someone else. This vegetable isn't poisonous," Zhao Lian said with a sweet smile.

Wang looked at the group of women and saw that only Zhaolian had picked the vegetables; the others hadn't. She immediately pulled Zhaolian aside.

She whispered to her, "Zhaolian! Your mother is gone, you have to be careful. You're still so young, your third aunt is really worried about you."

I've heard before that your grandmother ate this food and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, almost dying. If you take this food back now, you'll probably get a beating later."

Hearing Wang say this, Zhao Lian seemed to remember that there had indeed been such a time before. Old Yang had eaten something wrong and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea for two days, becoming extremely thin.

Is it really because of eating this? That seems a bit of an exaggeration.

"Third Aunt, don't worry, everything's fine. I have to go back now." Zhao Lian waved to her third aunt.

Not long after, Old Yang's deafening voice echoed from the dilapidated, low-ceilinged house: "You wretched girl, why did you bring back this poisonous weed? Are you trying to poison me? Get out of here right now!"

Then they threw out the vegetable basket and cauliflower, and Zhao Lian was also pushed out of the house.

He Yue'e and He Fang returned home, forgetting Zhao Lian's warning, and complained to their mother that Zhao Lian and her two sisters had beaten them.

Liang and Gao didn't believe it at first, but seeing that their faces were all swollen, they became skeptical.

Then He Dong brought up the story of the jinx again, which terrified them.

Could it be that Zhao Lian, that brat, really dreamed of the jinx and was possessed by him? The jinx is a harbinger of misfortune; anyone who sees him will be cursed.

Recalling her changes during this period, so different from before, both the Liang family and the Gao family began to have doubts.
