Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

"Ah~", a scream pierced the sky!

Liu Siyue returned from the fields carrying a basket and was shocked to see her sister-in-law sitting in her husband's lap, the two behaving intimately. She was so startled that she dropped her basket on the ground with a "thud," which alerted the two people inside the house.

She wanted to run away as fast as she could, not wanting anyone to find her, but then she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She knew she had miscarried and was probably going into premature labor.

Liu Siyue was in so much pain that she was covered in sweat and slowly sat down on the ground.

The two men stood at the doorway. Lu Yunzhou's cold expression and terrifying eyes sent chills down Liu Siyue's spine. She could actually see death in his eyes.

She was terrified that he was trying to kill her and her unborn child after she had stumbled upon their affair.

"Husband, I think I'm about to give birth. Quickly call the midwife and the doctor."

Lu Yunzhou and his sister-in-law stood there without moving. Liu Siyue's voice trembled as she reached out to them for help, "Please, please save me and my child. Sister-in-law, husband, I didn't see anything just now, and I won't tell anyone. I swear on myself and the child in my belly."

Liu Siyue hoped to awaken a shred of conscience in her husband and save her and their child.

Lu Yunzhou and his sister-in-law exchanged a glance, then quickly carried the person into the house and placed them on the bed. "Sister-in-law, hurry up and go to the village entrance to fetch a midwife. I'll go to the fields to find Mother."

When Lu Yunzhou left, he went to his neighbor's house and asked the neighbor's aunt to help look after Liu Siyue.

He first went to fetch a doctor, then hurriedly ran to the fields. On the way, he met some villagers who were also going to the fields and quickly asked them to tell their families that April had accidentally fallen and might be about to give birth.

The midwife arrived at the Lu family first and saw Liu Siyue lying on the bed, already unconscious. She touched her nose to check and found she was still breathing.

The neighbor lady quickly said, "Aunt Wang, Liu has fainted from the pain, what should we do?"

Wang, the midwife, didn't know what to do. She was just a midwife, not a doctor. She was afraid that someone would die, so she wanted to leave. Just as she stepped out of the courtyard, the village doctor arrived, and she quickly led him inside.

When the doctor saw that the woman's condition was not good, he immediately administered acupuncture to wake her up before proceeding with further treatment.

The midwife quickly told Lu's eldest daughter-in-law to boil water, while she helped the doctor, asking, "Dr. Yang, how is Madam Liu?"

"She'll wake up soon, but she's severely depleted and was born prematurely, so it might not be easy for both mother and child to be safe."

Just as the doctor had said, Liu Siyue woke up, but her condition was very poor. Doctor Yang instructed the midwife, "I'll give her ginseng slices to invigorate her and replenish her energy. The rest is up to you."

The midwife felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, as if the burden on her shoulders was as heavy as a thousand pounds. She closed the door and said, "Liu, if you want to save your life and the life of your child, do as I say."

The midwife checked and found that the cervix was already dilated to seven centimeters; she would give birth soon.

Waves of excruciating pain struck, causing Liu Siyue to cry out in agony. The midwife told her to stop crying out and conserve her strength, otherwise she wouldn't be able to give birth.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the cervix was fully dilated. "Inhale, exhale, push!" the midwife said.

After several such episodes, Liu Siyue was completely exhausted and just wanted to close her eyes and sleep.

"Mrs. Liu, you absolutely cannot fall asleep. You don't want the child anymore? We can already see the head of the baby. Listen to my command: inhale, exhale, push!"

With a desperate scream from Liu Siyue, she completely lost consciousness, and a little girl, whose cry sounded like a cat's meow, was born.

The midwife quickly tidied up the baby and then helped Liu Siyue tidy up before opening the door and carrying the baby out. She first said to Doctor Yang, "Doctor Yang, please go and see Liu first."

The midwife then approached Lu Yunzhou and her mother, Granny Liu, and said, "Congratulations! Your Lu family has a new granddaughter. The baby is weak, so you must take good care of her."

Seeing the disgusted look on Granny Liu's face, the midwife handed the child to Lu Yunzhou and said earnestly, "Lu Tongsheng, this is your eldest daughter."

You can give them the congratulatory money for the delivery in a couple of days.

At this moment, Dr. Yang came out from inside. The woman in labor had not experienced postpartum hemorrhage; she had practically escaped death.

"Mrs. Liu's body was injured during childbirth and needs to be well cared for. The consultation fee and medicine cost a total of 2 taels of silver. You can pay for it in a couple of days. Now, have someone come with me to get two doses of medicine to help her recover for a couple of days."

Granny Liu immediately became displeased. "She gave birth to a money-losing child, why is she still taking medicine? Her body is so precious. Besides, why are the consultation and medicine fees so expensive? Are they trying to rip us off?"

Doctor Yang immediately became unhappy, and his face fell. "Sister Liu, what are you saying? We're all from the same village. Why would I want to extort that little bit of money from you?"

Your daughter-in-law was just on the verge of death and unable to give birth, so I used ginseng slices to help her stay alive and regain her strength.

"If you don't want to get the medicine, that's fine. The consultation fee and the ginseng slices will cost 1.5 taels of silver."

Lu Yunzhou quickly said, "Dr. Yang, please go back first. I'll deliver the money to your home tomorrow." Dr. Yang flicked his sleeves and left.

Lu Yunzhou was holding a child in her arms, not knowing what to do. She looked at her mother, Granny Liu, whose face was dark, and then she turned and left.

He looked at his sister-in-law again, "Sister-in-law, could you please help take care of the child and Liu Shi? After all, it involves two lives."

Zhou Xiangxing took the child and carried her inside to see Liu Siyue. She placed the child next to Liu Siyue, and perhaps because of the bond between mother and daughter, Liu Siyue opened her eyes.

She looked at Zhou Xiangxing and called out "Sister-in-law". Zhou Xiangxing nodded to her and said, "You gave birth to a daughter. I'll leave the baby with you and go make you something to eat."

Zhou Xiangxing knew that the moment Liu Siyue gave birth, her fate was sealed—she would be kicked out by her in-laws.

Lu Yunzhou came to Granny Liu's house. "Mother, don't be angry. After all, it was two lives. Since they survived, that's their good fortune."

Just as Mother said before, if the baby is a boy, keep the child and divorce Liu Shi; if it is a girl, drive both of them away.

However, she had just given birth, and it was premature. Both mother and daughter were very weak. If they were kicked out at this time, it would cause gossip. It would be better to let them stay for a few more days to recover before letting them leave. It was not for any other reason than to accumulate good fortune for her son.

"Liu's contribution was indispensable in my son's recovery."

"Good, my son, you've thought this through. We'll get rid of her in a few days, so that it won't be so easy for you to get rid of her after you pass the imperial examination. If you do that, people will say that you're abandoning your wife after passing the imperial examination, which will damage your reputation."

My son is a reincarnation of the God of Literature, with a bright future ahead of him. He will marry a daughter of an official, far superior to a commoner like myself.

"What about the fees for the midwife and Doctor Yang?"

"Don't worry about that, Mother will take care of it."

"Your son thanks you, Mother."

For the past five days, Zhou Xiangxing has been taking care of Liu Siyue and her daughter. Liu Siyue didn't know what to feel. Her mother-in-law and husband hadn't come to see the child even once, and she felt a chill in her heart.

Five days later, Liu Siyue's health improved and she was able to get out of bed. Liu Pozi then stopped Zhou Xiangxing from taking care of her.

Because Liu Siyue had no breast milk, the baby cried like a kitten, its voice very soft.

Liu Siyue was still a child and didn't understand anything. She was terrified, afraid that her child wouldn't survive. Knowing that there were women in the village who had given birth, she held her child and begged others to give the child some food.
