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

Old Madam Yang frowned and said, "What? They can't do the work if they don't go! Aren't there Dong'er, Yue'e, and Fang'er? Let them go!"

"Mother~"

Gao wanted to say something more, but Liang glared at her, and she swallowed her words.

"Grandma, why don't they have to go, but we have to do the work?" He Yue'e protested.

Old Mrs. Yang glared at her: "What do you know? Just go when I tell you to."

This had never happened before; it was unbelievable that the mother-in-law would actually make sure the two of them didn't have to do any work.

"Second sister-in-law, could it be that Mother has been frightened out of her mind?" Gao whispered to Liang.

Madam Liang shook her head. She didn't know either, but judging from her father-in-law's discussion with her earlier, he probably had some ideas.

……

The rain had just stopped, and everything was still wet. After returning from Wang's place, Zhaolian had to clean the house.

The other day it rained heavily, which kept her very busy. The house was leaking, so she used all the pots and pans in the house.

There are too many leaks in this house, and not enough containers to catch all the water. We can only catch the larger leaks, and leave the smaller ones to leak.

Fortunately, Zhao Lian's room was not leaking, but the kitchen was leaking in some places, so Zhao Lian quickly brought rice and flour into the room.

Looks like I'll have to find the village chief tomorrow and ask him to help clean up the roof tiles, otherwise I don't know when it might rain again.

Fortunately, the house is situated on higher ground; otherwise, the water in the ditch in front of the house would have overflowed.

She was also glad that she had cooked those mountain crabs into porridge a few days ago, otherwise, with the rain now and the water overflowing, they would probably all have escaped.

The other room was leaking, with about 5 centimeters of water. She needed to clean it up and get the water out while she had the chance.

Zhao Lian brought over a large wooden basin, used a broken bowl to scoop water, and scooped several basins of water in the room, which finally made her feel better.

The room was uneven in some places. Zhao Lian walked around and found a dent in the corner, which was about 60x60 cm in size.

She rarely went into this room before, so she hadn't paid much attention to it.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Zhao Lian's mind: "Could there be something hidden in here, like silver or something?"

Thinking of Yang Fu's special circumstances in the past, Zhao Lian shook her head again. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible. If they had money, they wouldn't not give it to their son. Why would they hide it?

However, as far as she knew, Yang Fu seemed to be an idiot, and his parents probably had some money hidden away.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lian became excited again. Driven by curiosity, Zhao Lian found a shovel and started digging.

After digging 20 centimeters deep without finding anything, just as I was about to give up, suddenly, the shovel seemed to hit something.

Feeling that she had touched something hard, Zhao Lian was overjoyed. It seemed that there really was something inside.

This time, Zhao Lian dared not use a shovel to dig, for fear of breaking it, because the mud floor in the room was also damp after being soaked in water.

It probably wouldn't be too difficult to dig it up, so Zhao Lian found a wooden stick and carefully started digging.

Inside was a wine jar about 20 centimeters wide, sealed with clay, which probably contained wine or something similar.

Zhao Lian was immediately disappointed. She had been exhausted all day and thought there would be something good.

I don't drink alcohol myself, so even if I did find some, it wouldn't be of much use to me.

Zhao Lian tossed the stick aside and tried to lift the jar. She had thought it contained wine, but it wasn't heavy at all.

This jar itself weighs several kilograms, so judging from the size of it, there probably isn't much inside.

Zhao Lian became even more curious. If there wasn't anything valuable inside, there was no reason to seal the jar with mud.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as she was about to open the jar, there was a knock on the door, which startled her.

Zhao Feng's voice rang out from outside the door: "Zhao Lian~ It's your eldest sister, we've come to see you."

It turned out to be Zhao Feng and the others. Zhao Lian breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly put the jar behind the door, washed her hands, and then opened the door.

"Eldest sister, second sister, what brings you here? Come here, does Grandma know?" Zhao Lian felt a little strange when she saw them coming.

"Grandma sent us here!" Zhao Di repeated what Old Yang had told them, and Zhao Lian understood now.

It seems they know that if force doesn't work, they'll try a softer approach, sending the two women to play the family card, hoping they'll persuade them to go back. Don't even think about it.

"Zhao Lian, what are you busy with?" Zhao Feng looked around curiously at Zhao Lian's dirty clothes.

"Big sister, this house is leaking everywhere, and we're busy cleaning it up. You've come at the perfect time, come and help," Zhao Lian said, gesturing for them to come in.

The room was a mess, but fortunately there weren't many things. Zhao Lian had moved some things back into her room.

Zhao Feng rolled up her sleeves: "Okay! We'll help you." Then, the three sisters cleaned and wiped everything in the room.

The rain stopped and the sun came out. Zhao Lian and the others moved all the wet firewood from the kitchen outside to dry.

Because the room was damp, and the blankets felt a bit damp, Zhaolian took the blankets outside and put them on the firewood to air them out.

The sun is very strong in June; one to two hours of sun exposure is enough.

Fortunately, the woodshed wasn't leaking, otherwise we really wouldn't have any firewood to burn right now.

After a busy afternoon, the group finally managed to clean the house up a bit.

After finishing these tasks, Zhao Lian quickly started a fire so Zhao Feng could cook. Luckily, she was clever and moved the charcoal fire to a place where it wouldn't get wet in the rain; otherwise, they would have had to start a fire again.

Zhao Lian invited Zhao Feng and Zhao Feng to eat there. She hadn't killed the rabbit yet, but since Zhao Lian and Zhao Feng had come over, she killed it.

Then, they put star anise and ginger into an earthenware pot and simmered a whole pot of rabbit meat. The aroma wafting through the air made Zhao Feng and Zhao Di's mouths water.

In addition, Zhaolian cooked a pot of white rice and picked a handful of white cauliflower from the back of the yard to make a white cauliflower and egg soup.

She'd been so busy lately that she didn't even know when the white cauliflowers had sprouted. It was only after the rain these past two days that she noticed there were actually a few white cauliflowers growing in the backyard.

From killing to cooking the rabbit, Zhao Lian did almost everything herself, leaving Zhao Feng and Zhao Di dumbfounded.

Zhao Lian knows so much; when did she learn all this?

Faced with Zhao Feng and the others' questions, Zhao Lian looked mysterious and said that the jinxed eunuch had taught her, which drew envious glances from the two of them.

"It seems this jinx is quite kind; he teaches you everything," Zhao Di said with envy.

"hey-hey……"

Zhao Lian scratched her head and said that luckily, this jinxed old man taught her a lot in her dream, so she was able to exchange the herbs she dug for silver and not go hungry.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Di immediately became solemn and respectful, and solemnly put their hands together and bowed to the air: "Thank you, Broom Star, for showing your power."

Seeing their devout expressions, Zhao Lian wanted to laugh but dared not, almost bursting into internal injury from holding it in.
