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

"This rabbit meat is really delicious." Zhao Di ate the rabbit meat, feeling that it became more and more fragrant with each chew.

They hadn't eaten meat in ages, except for the big bone they gnawed on at Zhaolian's place last time.

This white rice is so delicious; it's the best meal they've ever had.

Zhao Lian felt the same way; she had been a vegetarian for a long time, and ultimately, even pork cracklings couldn't compare to the deliciousness of rabbit meat.

The three of them gnawed on the rabbit meat and ate white rice. They ate half of the rabbit meat before finally putting down their bowls and chopsticks, satisfied and clutching their stomachs.

At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that she had forgotten what her grandmother had told her, and whispered, "Zhao Lian, Grandma said she knows she was wrong, so please forgive her."

Zhao Lian never expected that Zhao Feng would truly forget the pain once the wound had healed.

Old Yang didn't beat her for the past few days, fed her every meal, and said a few nice words to her. She actually forgave Old Yang. It seems that Old Yang really had her under his control.

If it were the old Zhao Lian, she probably would have fallen for this, but unfortunately, she's not the old Zhao Lian.

Zhao Lian shook her head: "Big sister, don't say anymore. No matter what you say, I won't go back, and I will never forgive her. I have nothing to do with them now."

Zhao Lian didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she went back to her room and brought out two pairs of shoes for the two of them to try on.

"Eldest sister, second sister, try on these shoes. I bought them especially for you."

Seeing the new shoes Zhao Lian brought out, embroidered with little red flowers, the two were overjoyed. However, looking at their own dirty feet, they hesitated, afraid of getting them dirty.

"What are you afraid of? Wash them and try them on." Zhao Di said as she went to wash her feet, then wiped them on her trouser legs. The new shoes fit perfectly.

Zhao Di excitedly walked around the room twice, but then took off her shoes to avoid getting them dirty.

Seeing that Zhao Di had put on the shoes, Zhao Feng quickly washed her feet as well. She tried on the shoes, and they were about the same size, but a little bit loose.

But no worries, she can put them aside for now and wear them when it gets cold. She can't bear to wear such beautiful shoes.

As it was getting dark, Zhaolian told them to go back and tell Old Yang to give up on the idea.

"Summoning Lotus~"

Zhao Feng was not giving up and wanted to say something more.

"Big sister, don't say anything more!" Zhao Lian said firmly, "I have nothing to do with the He family anymore. I will definitely find a way to get you two out of here."

"After all, Grandma raised us," Zhao Feng murmured.

Zhao Di frowned: "Oh dear, elder sister, Grandma said a few kind words to you, and you still forgave her. I still want to be with Zhao Lian." She now dreams of leaving the He family.

Seeing Zhao Lian's resolute expression, Zhao Feng didn't know what to say. She was uneasy, wondering if her grandmother would scold them when they got back.

At this moment, Old Madam Yang was standing at the gate of the courtyard, craning her neck to look around, thinking to herself, "Why haven't those two brats come back yet? Could they be enjoying a life of luxury with that jinx?"

Thinking about it this way, Yang felt a surge of resentment and a bitter taste in her mouth.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared at the bend at the end of the village. Yang looked closely and found that it was indeed Zhao Feng and the others.

Zhao Feng saw Old Yang's figure at the door of her house from afar, and felt a sense of unease.

"Zhaodi, what should we do? Look, Grandma is waiting for us at the door."

Zhao Di also saw Old Yang's figure at this time. She didn't know what to do, so she could only bite the bullet and go back.

What usually takes two minutes took them a full five minutes to walk.

When they returned to the courtyard gate, Old Yang had already gone back. Zhao Feng and Zhao Di felt as if their feet weighed a ton, and dared not step inside.

"You don't want to come back, do you? You've been loitering around the door for ages without coming in?"

Suddenly a sharp shout made them tremble. Li stood in front of them like a door god.

"Second Aunt~" Zhao Feng and Zhao Di called out cautiously.

"You're back just in time, hurry up and start cooking."

To their surprise, Li Shi didn't scold them. Zhao Feng and Zhao Di breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to the kitchen.

Today it was the eldest daughter-in-law's turn to cook. Usually, when it's the eldest daughter-in-law's turn to cook, it's usually the three sisters, Zhao Feng and her brother, who do the cooking.

In the evening, they still cooked a thick porridge of dark flour with wild vegetables. The dark flour was brought out by Old Yang, who would take it out every time she cooked rice.

Normally, she is in charge of these grains, which are locked in the cupboard.

A family of more than ten people shared only one bowl of dark noodles and some unidentified wild vegetables.

Zhao Feng mixed the black flour with cold water, boiled the water, poured the mixture into the boiling water, then chopped up some wild vegetables and added them in, along with some oil and salt, before packing it up.

When it was time to eat, Old Yang served everyone a large bowl, but not Zhao Feng and Zhao Di.

She knew even without them saying anything; they must have eaten before coming back.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Di stood to the side, not daring to breathe. At this moment, they were afraid that Old Madam Yang would discover their new shoes, and wanted to go back to their room to put them down.

But without Old Madam Yang's instructions, they dared not move.

At this point, Old Madam Yang asked them what Zhao Lian had said. Zhao Feng hesitated, but Zhao Di spoke her mind.

"Old man, look at this stubborn girl, she won't listen to reason or persuasion." Old Madam Yang looked at He Sen with a helpless expression.

"Hey~"

He Sen sighed: "Let's talk about this later. Let's eat."

Yang Mu hadn't expected this little girl to be so capable. He seemed to regret making things so tense with her before.

Thinking about it, he felt a little guilty, because he hadn't taken care of these children much since his mother died.

Zhao Lian, in particular, was the least favored by her parents, and he disliked her as a result, believing that it was all because of her that his parents valued him more.

Although he was the eldest son, his parents treated him worse than his two younger brothers.

Only then did Liang and the others realize that their mother-in-law wanted Zhao Feng and the others to coax Zhao Lian.

Seeing that they weren't angry, Zhao Feng and Zhao Di breathed a sigh of relief.

They finished eating quickly and asked Zhao Di and the other woman to clear the dishes. At this moment, Old Yang noticed something unusual. She discovered that there was a bulge around the waist of the two women.

"What are you two wearing around your waists? They look so bulging!" Old Madam Yang asked.

"Ah! No... nothing?"

Zhao Feng shook her head in alarm; what she feared most had come to pass.

"No? Come here!"

Zhao Feng's panic made Old Madam Yang suspicious, and she concluded that the two of them must have hidden something.

Maybe it was a jinx who gave them something good and hid it away.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Di walked up reluctantly, looking dejected. They hadn't expected to be discovered by their grandmother. It seemed the shoes were beyond saving.

Seeing their slow pace, Old Madam Yang grabbed Zhao Feng and searched her clothes, finding a pair of shoes inside.

Upon seeing this, Madam Liang quickly pulled Zhao Di over and found a pair of shoes on her as well, which made her overjoyed.
