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

After the two brothers washed their hands, Fu Biao said to Zhao Lian, "Alright, this matter is finished. Zhao Lian, we're going back now. If you need anything in the future, just call Uncle Biao and Uncle Gui!"

"Okay! Uncle Biao, take care."

Zhaolian told Chunlan and the others to wash their hands, and then gave each of them five coins, instructing them to keep them safe.

The fence is finished. Zhaolian told them that they don't need to come over tomorrow.

The sisters were overjoyed when they saw the heavy copper coins in their hands. This was money they had earned, and they quickly and carefully put it into their pockets.

Watching Chunlan and her sisters skip and hop away, Zhaolian went back to her room to cook. Her arms were sore from eating grass all day.

Chunlan and her sisters skipped and hopped home with copper coins in their pockets, checking their pockets every now and then along the way.

"Big sister, I wish I could make money every day. I want to make money too, as capable as Zhaolian," Li Tong said to Chunlan with a grin, touching the copper coins in his pocket.

“That’s right, my older sister wants to earn that too,” Li Chunlan remarked.

"Hey, where did you guys come from? I just heard you say you went to make money."

A voice sounded behind them. The sisters turned around and saw He Yue'e and Zhao Feng.

They carried vegetable baskets filled with wild vegetables.

Chunlan quickly shut her mouth. She knew that if He Yue'e and the others found out about this, it might cause trouble for Zhaolian.

Seeing that the group remained silent, He Dong rolled his eyes: "Don't listen to their nonsense. They're the same age as us. Where are they going to make money?"

Li Erwang, being young and naive, couldn't resist being provoked and blurted out, "Who says we can't earn money? Look, this is what we earned. We help Zhaolian with her work, and she pays us!"

When Li Dawang saw that his younger brother had let the cat out of the bag, he immediately pinched the soft flesh on his waist.

"Ouch~"

Li Erwang shrank back and looked at Li Dawang with a wronged expression: "Big brother, why did you pinch me!"

Li Dawang glared at him: "You talk too much!"

Fearing they might ask more questions, Chunlan and the others quickened their pace and started running.

"Humph!"

He Yue'e pouted: "What's so great about earning a few copper coins!"

He Yue'e rolled her eyes and turned to Zhao Feng and Zhao Di, saying, "Look at you two, still thinking about that jinx all the time."

“Others have good opportunities, but they don’t think about you two. They’d rather let outsiders earn the money than let you two sisters earn it.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Zhao Di blurted out.

“That’s right!” He Fang chimed in from the side, “Hmph! That jinx is all that’s good for him now. He’s living the high life, and he even has money to hire people to do his work. He doesn’t even think about helping you two.”

Zhao Di wanted to say something more, but Zhao Feng tugged at her sleeve. When she turned around, Zhao Feng gave her a wink and shook her head, and Zhao Di immediately shut her mouth.

It's best to say as little as possible to them. If you speak well and gain the upper hand, they'll be furious and go back to complain. Let them say whatever they want.

Chunlan and the others ran back, and when they entered the courtyard, Li Erwang almost bumped into Liu Shi.

Thinking that it was getting dark, Liu wanted to go out of the courtyard to see why the others hadn't returned yet.

Just as they were about to leave the hospital, the others rushed in.

Fortunately, Liu reacted quickly and grabbed Li Erwang, saying, "Erwang, what are you all doing, acting so recklessly?"

"Mother~"

Li Erwang looked up and saw that it was his mother. He immediately took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Shi as if presenting a treasure: "Mother, this is the money I earned today."

“This is mine!” Li Dawang handed over the copper coins in his hand as well.

"Good, good~" Liu was overjoyed and said, "You all go back to your rooms quickly, wash your hands, and eat."

Before each meal, which was also the time to hand over wages, Chen Donghua was happiest.

At the dinner table, the brothers Li Shuangli and Li Shuangquan gave their mother, Chen, the wages they had earned that day.

The two brothers each earned 20 coins, totaling 40 coins. The grandsons each earned 25 coins, bringing the total to 65 coins.

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed and counted them carefully, one by one, several times.

Originally intending to put all the copper coins into her pocket, Chen thought for a moment and, seeing the pitiful looks in her two daughters-in-law's eyes, gave Wang four copper coins and Liu three copper coins.

Now that the son has finally started his own family, he hands over his wages every day, and his wife can't do without a single penny.

If we don't give them anything, they'll rebel eventually.

"Thank you, Mother!"

Wang and Liu's eyes lit up, and they quickly stuffed the copper coins into their pockets, afraid that their mother-in-law would change her mind.

After my father-in-law passed away, my mother-in-law was in charge of the household, and all the money she earned was handed over to her.

The husband would go out and earn money and hand it over to his mother-in-law. His mother-in-law would give them a penny or two each time. Don't underestimate a penny or two; it adds up.

When I go back to my parents' home at the end of the year, I can at least bring some things back with me, so I won't go home empty-handed.

"By the way, Grandma, we ran into He Yue'e and the others on our way back. Erwang is so quick to talk, he said we went to Zhaolian's place to earn money."

Chunlan suddenly remembered this matter and thought she should tell Chen Shi as soon as possible, not knowing what they would say when they returned.

"Mother~"

Wang thought for a moment, then looked at Chen cautiously: "Do you think Old Yang and the others might say something?"

Wang was a little worried, wondering if Old Yang would come knocking on her door again. Zhao Lian had actually hired Chun Lan instead of Zhao Feng and the others for this matter.

"She dares!"

Li Shuangli slammed his fist on the table, his eyes wide, and said, "If she dares to come looking for trouble, I'll break her neck!"

"Alright, alright, stop jumping to conclusions!" Liu pushed him, knowing her husband had such a bad temper.

Chen lifted her eyelids and said dismissively, "What's the big deal? We make money honestly and openly. We don't owe the He family anything. Besides, Zhaolian has severed ties with them."

After counting the money, they started eating.

"Come and eat!" Mrs. Chen said with a smile to her grandsons, "You all eat more."

Upon learning that the work was already finished, Chen was somewhat disappointed, as she had been hoping to work a couple more days.

However, thinking that his two daughters-in-law were still helping Liang make clothes, he became happy again, and then instructed Wang and Liu to finish making the clothes as soon as possible.

He family

While the Li family was eating, the He family was also eating.

The He family's table was small and couldn't seat so many people, so Zhao Feng and the others always ate standing or squatting to the side, and tonight was no exception.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Di stood to the side, eating porridge while holding their bowls, their eyes fixed longingly on the bowl of steamed eggs on the table.

Old Yang scooped a spoonful for each of them, and two spoonfuls for He Run, but not for Zhao Feng and Zhao Di.
