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

The poor cow hasn't eaten a single bite since yesterday. It was so hungry that it kept making a ruckus in the yard last night, keeping the doctor up all night.

The two brothers drove the oxcart home. The ox had traveled back and forth to the town countless times and knew the way. Knowing that they were on their way home, it ran with extra effort.

The two brothers didn't encounter Liu Qingshan and his gang all the way home. Their anxious hearts finally settled down. They parked the car, went to Niushancao, and heard the old ox mooing. It was still a familiar place, with a familiar smell.

When Liu Qingshan and his group arrived at the Liu clan chief's house, the chief, who was quite old, saw so many people, all of whom were unreliable members of the clan, and knew that nothing good could come of it.

"Chieftain, you must stand up for us!" Huang Lanhua cried and wailed, and Tugengniang quickly followed suit, this time she was smarter.

"Are you here for my funeral? I'm not dead yet!" The clan chief tapped his cane on the ground, and the two women immediately shut up.

"Get to the point, stop wailing!"

Liu Qingshan stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Clan Chief, we really have no other choice. My father is lying in the clinic waiting for money to save his life. The village chief promised to help us borrow money, but his wife won't allow it and even beat us up."

"The village chief's wife, a mere woman, dares to interfere in her husband's affairs. She truly doesn't respect the village chief, damaging his dignity and reputation. How can he maintain his authority in the village after this?"

To be honest, Liu Qingshan was the most talkative among this group. After listening to him, the Liu clan chief squinted and looked up at the sky. Maoquan had married a good wife!

"That's all?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Have you grown mouths yet? Have you grown legs yet? Do you have parents? Have you become parents?"

What does the clan leader mean by that? That sounds familiar!

"Grandpa Chief, what do you mean by that?"

"Are you even a person? Are you even a man? If you are, if you have a mouth and feet, why don't you borrow it yourself? Why should the village chief borrow it for you? He owes you something. You're all spoiled rotten."

If everyone in the village were like you, asking the village chief to borrow money whenever they were short of funds, would he be able to lend it all? Or would he refuse, and you'd have to demolish his house instead?

Let me tell you, don't get any crooked ideas. Work honestly and be an upright person.

Go away, everyone. I'm getting old, so don't bother me all the time.

Young people should focus their efforts on the right path!

Liu Qingshan and his gang were furious. They hadn't gone far when they spat on the ground, yelling, "Pah! You old bastard, just you wait!"

Huang Lanhua was very anxious when she realized she couldn't get the money. "Son, what should we do now? Your father's injury is the most important thing."

Liu Qingshan was furious. He had thought that he could get the money from the village chief, and then he could find a reason to pocket the remaining 13 taels of silver. His third uncle's family wouldn't get a single penny. His second brother was dead, so all of this would be his. As for his father's injury, he could treat it if he could, but if he couldn't, so be it. In the end, his father would just be a cripple anyway, and he would only be wasting food at home.

He walked along, lost in thought, not hearing Huang Lanhua's words at all. Huang Lanhua called out to him again, "Qingshan, what's wrong? Did you hear what your mother said?"

"What did you say? I was just thinking about money."

"I told you your father's injury is the most important thing. Qinghe is gone, your father can't afford to get hurt too."

"Don't worry, Mother, your son will definitely find a way."

"Uncle Gousheng, you should hurry back and think of a solution. We also need to go back and discuss with Grandpa and Grandma to find a way to raise money."

"Okay, let me know when you get to town."

"Qingshan, if you really can't borrow the money, just have your grandfather sell two acres of the family's fertile land."

"Don't worry about this, I'll talk to Grandpa about it."

Liu Qingshan returned home in a huff. His grandfather, seeing his grandson's expression, knew he hadn't gotten the money. "Qingshan, how did it go?" he asked. Qingshan recounted what had happened. "Grandpa, they won't help us. What should we do?"

Since the village chief's wife has ruined things, I gave you 18 taels of silver, so you and your mother should go to town now, sell his cow, get the money, and use it to treat your father's injuries. Once the money is spent, let's see what he can do to us.

"Grandpa, we've emptied our savings, how are we going to survive?"

"Go see your father first, I'll figure out the rest."

"Okay, grandson will leave after he finishes eating."

"Mom, hurry up and cook, I'm starving!"

Huang Lanhua hurried to the kitchen to cook. "August, where have you been? Come and start the fire!"

"Sister-in-law, August went out to find food for the pigs, I'll start the fire."

Da Niu hasn't returned from town, and he didn't bring any money with him. Will he be starving?

"He's a grown man, he won't go hungry. There are still a few cornbreads at home, I'll go and take them to him. My third brother is working very hard taking care of his eldest brother in town. I'm going to town soon too, so I'll take my third brother back and leave the house to my sister-in-law."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely take good care of the family."

Huang Lanhua quickly made several bowls of thick mixed flour paste, and also added an egg. Her son worked so hard, he needed to be nourished. If he collapsed from exhaustion, what would become of the family?

Liu Qingshan drank three large bowls of wine, his stomach bulging. He wiped his mouth and said, "Mom, let's hurry up and go, Dad's waiting!"

Huang Lanhua quickly finished the last few mouthfuls in her bowl and hurried to town with Liu Qingshan. When they reached the village entrance, Huang Lanhua reminded him, "Qingshan, did we forget to call Tugeng's father?"

"Why call him? The money from selling the ox belongs to our whole family. If we call him, he'll never give up until we get a share!"

"Yes, my son is still the smartest."

The two arrived at the clinic. Huang Lanhua rushed to check on her husband, Liu Dahu, who remained unconscious. "Third brother, how is your eldest brother?"

"My older brother has been unconscious. The doctor said that if we can't raise the money tonight, we'll have to leave tomorrow morning."

"Father gave 18 taels, but we still need 12 taels."

"Third Uncle, I'll go sell the village chief's cow right now. That cow should be worth at least 18 taels."

"Sister-in-law, did you bring any food? I haven't eaten a single bite since yesterday."

"Oh, I brought you some cornbread, eat it quickly."

Liu Daniu quickly ate, worried that Liu Qingshan might get angry at him if he saw the cow was gone.

Liu Qingshan went to see the doctor, saying he had raised 18 taels of silver, and selling the ox would give him 30 taels. The doctor scoffed, "Sell the ox? Whose ox are you selling?"

"Didn't a cow block this place yesterday?"

It would have been better if we hadn't talked about it, because the doctor got angry as soon as we mentioned it. "That cow made a ruckus in the yard all night, keeping me up all night."

"I'm so sorry, I'll take it to sell right away."

"The cow has already been taken away by its owner."

"What? That cow was the one I gave you as collateral, so it's my cow. You had someone take it away, so I won't say anything. I'll just use it to pay for my father's medicine."

"The cow was taken away by your family, not by someone I asked to take it away."

Liu Qingshan stormed ahead, "Third Uncle, did you return the cow to the village chief's family?"

"Yes, Hongyu and Hongsheng came to demand the cow. If I didn't give it to them, they would take it out on your father. My older brother is already injured, how could I bear to do that?"

Liu Qingshan thought to himself, "Why didn't you let him hit me? If he had killed me, we could have saved on medicine costs and gotten compensation. Now we've lost everything."

"Qingshan, what do we do now?"

"Mother, take the money. I'll go back to find Grandpa now."

"There's another silver bracelet in your mother's cupboard; bring it over."

"it is good."

Liu Daniu said they would go back together to think of a solution, so the uncle and nephew hurriedly headed towards Liujia Village.
