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

Zhao Lian smiled. She liked Liu's personality; she was straightforward and direct, and didn't hide anything. She thought Liu had a good personality.

Liu glared at Liang and Gao and said, "And you lot, put the cloth down right now, or I won't be polite to her."

As he spoke, the knife that was pressed against Old Yang's neck moved a little closer.

"Ah~ have mercy!"

Suddenly, a strong smell of urine wafted through the air. Everyone looked and saw that Old Yang had wet herself in fright, leaving the ground wet.

Old Mrs. Yang hysterically shouted at her daughters-in-law, "Do you want me to die? Put the cloth down right now!"

Liang and the others then realized what was happening and quickly threw the cloth they were holding back onto the table, looking at Liu with wary expressions.

"Let our mother go!" Liang's voice trembled.

"Liu, please take the knife away! We don't want it anymore, okay?" Old Yang's voice trembled; she was terrified.

"Yes, yes, we don't want it."

Liang and Li, along with the others, retreated as far as they could, fearing that the knife would be held to their necks.

Unexpectedly, after being so frightened, Old Yang actually wet herself; she really couldn't handle being scared.

Liu frowned and removed the knife from her neck: "You're smart to know what's good for you. If there's a next time, I won't be so polite."

When Old Yang saw the knife removed from her neck, she frantically opened the door and ran out in a panic.

Li and the others quickly ran out as well, shouting, "Murder! The Li family's daughter-in-law is going to kill someone!"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Old Yang's panicked appearance, Chen Donghua burst into laughter. After laughing for a while, she frowned and said, "That damned Old Yang, I never thought she would wet herself in fear at her age. She stinks."

Watching them run away, Liu put the knife back.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, it's all my fault. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here to cause trouble for you." Zhao Lian looked embarrassed.

Chen Donghua waved her hand dismissively: "What are you talking about? I've disliked them for a long time, so I'm taking this opportunity to teach them a lesson."

Despite saying that, Wang was still a little uneasy, fearing that they would come knocking on her door again later.

Seeing them run back in a panic, He Mu and He Zhu, after learning the whole story, were also furious.

They've gone too far; now they're defecating and urinating on their necks.

They were subjected to caning some time ago, but because they had no money, they couldn't afford the medicine and had to endure it until now. Their bodies have only just begun to recover, and they were only able to get out of bed a couple of days ago.

Seeing them armed with knives and clubs, intending to go to the Li family to demand an explanation, they were stopped by their father, He Sen: "You lot, stop right there!"

"Father, the Li family is really bullying us." Madam Liang said, looking puzzled.

"That's right, old man, you didn't see what happened. That Liu woman had a knife to my neck." Old Yang came out from the inner room after changing her pants.

He Sen frowned: "Who sent you? Didn't you learn your lesson last time? Besides, Zhao Lian has severed ties with us. If you go directly to the Li family to take their things, isn't that just robbery?"

"If they actually pull out a knife, you won't be in the right."

“Old man, that brat has become quite capable now, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” Old Madam Yang sat down, and her eyes welled up with envy as she thought of those few bolts of fine cotton cloth.

I thought that if I separated that jinx from her, she would starve to death, but I never expected that she would live a life of luxury and even have money to buy cloth to make clothes.

It seems she probably still has some money on hand, but unfortunately she's severed ties with the He family, so filial piety won't work on her now.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Di huddled in a corner. After hearing what they said, they also learned about the matter and were afraid that the two of them would be unhappy and take their anger out on them later.

He Sen took a puff of his pipe, exhaled a large smoke ring, and said in a low voice, "She's still just a child. If we can't be forceful, we'll try being gentle."

Old Mrs. Yang's eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh: "Hey! Old man, you're right! This child can be easily coaxed. If we coax her well, all the money in her hands will be ours."

The family only has a few hundred coins left. In a while, He Run will have to pay tuition again, which will cost 500 coins. They also need to buy paper and books.

This is quite an expense. The family has only just recovered and cannot go out to find work yet. It has been raining these past few days, so they also need to work in the fields.

Last year's harvest was better, but we still had a lot to feed more than a dozen people, and now we don't have much food left at home.

It hasn't rained all year, so the harvest probably won't be very good. They might not even have enough rice to cook. Now they're cooking a lot for every meal, adding extra wild vegetables, just enough to fill their stomachs.

They haven't eaten meat in ages. If they can win over Zhao Lian, all the money in her hands will be theirs.

Thinking of the rice, flour, and rabbit that Zhao Lian had a while ago, she felt a strong urge to eat them.

After careful consideration, Old Yang and He Sen decided to play the family card.

Old Mrs. Yang turned her head to look at Zhao Feng and Zhao Di, and walked towards them with a smile.

When Zhao Feng and Zhao Di saw Old Madam Yang smiling, they knew she must be up to some wicked scheme again.

Sure enough, Old Madam Yang helped them both up: "Zhaofeng and Zhaodi, do you two want to invite Lian?"

Zhao Lian and Zhao Di exchanged a glance, unsure of Old Madam Yang's intentions, and dared not utter a sound. They were afraid that if they mentioned missing their sister, they would be beaten again.

Seeing that the two of them remained silent, Old Madam Yang continued, "Grandma knows you miss her. If you miss her, you can go to see her anytime. Grandma won't scold you."

"Grandma, is this true?" Zhao Di asked, somewhat incredulous.

"real!"

Old Madam Yang nodded repeatedly: "They are, after all, your sisters. If you two miss them, you can go to them anytime. Tell Zhaolian that Grandma knows she was wrong and ask her to forgive Grandma. We are family after all!"

As she spoke, Old Madam Yang started crying again, and Zhao Feng felt a pang of sadness. It seemed that Grandma had truly changed for the better.

Zhao Di was not as easily fooled as Zhao Feng. She knew that her grandmother and the others were trying to curry favor with Zhao Lian now that they saw she could find food on her own.

She won't be so easily fooled if I take all these things for myself.

"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely tell Zhaolian that you want her to come back." Zhaofeng nodded, reassuring Old Madam Yang.

"Hehe~"

Old Mrs. Yang sneered inwardly, thinking that this brat was easier to fool, but she didn't show it on her face.

Old Mrs. Yang put on a kind smile and said to the two of them, "Go! Go find Zhaolian now, you don't need to work this afternoon."

Li and Liang looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what their mother-in-law was up to.

Gao mustered her courage and asked, "Mother, it's rained these past few days, the fields need to be plowed, and weeds need to be pulled. If you send those two to find Zhaolian, who will do the work?"

The two of them are capable of doing a lot of work, but the mother-in-law actually said that they don't need to do any work. Then who will do all the work?
