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

The two sisters walked from the beginning of the morning until the end of the morning before reaching the town entrance. Along the way, they encountered a village oxcart. If Liu Ruyun had walked alone, she could have arrived before the middle of the morning. Although the original owner's body had recovered, she was exhausted from not walking such a long distance for a long time, and her pace was much slower.

"Cousin, I'm the one who slowed down today, making you wait for me. When will the oxcart in the village go back? I'm afraid I won't be able to walk back after I finish shopping. Let's take the oxcart instead."

"April, what are you talking about being a burden? You just finished your postpartum period, it's normal that your body is weak and hasn't adjusted yet. If you want to ride in an oxcart, let's go. Otherwise, it will be too late when we get back and the baby will be hungry, and you won't feel good either."

The village oxcart was waiting at the town entrance at the end of the day for people to return home.

Liu Siyue only remembered this after being reminded by her. No, she had to buy the medicine at the town clinic today. If she went back and asked Doctor Wu to prescribe the medicine, it would definitely alarm her family. They would definitely not allow her to stop breastfeeding and let her child go hungry.

Having made up her mind, she smiled and said to Liu Ruyun, "Cousin, we don't have much time to shop, so why don't we split up? You go buy the meat and rice, and I'll go to the grocery store to buy some other things."

"What do you need to buy? We don't need to buy anything new for our family."

She had anticipated her cousin's question and had already prepared a response: "Cousin, the village chief's family and Uncle Youtian's family have helped me so much this time. It's not enough to just treat them to a meal. I also want to give them some gifts. I will need their help in the future as I live in the village. If you use too many favors, the favors will disappear, and it won't be so easy to ask others for help in the future."

"You're so thoughtful. Hurry up and buy it, then head straight to the town entrance; we'll meet there."

"Okay, don't worry, cousin, I'll keep track of the time." The two sisters then parted ways to buy their own things.

Based on the original owner's memories, Liu Siyue quickly found the most famous clinic in town, Huichuntang. She entered the clinic, glanced around briefly, and the shop assistant immediately came forward to ask, "Is this customer here for a consultation or to pick up medicine?"

She glanced around and, finding no one else nearby, whispered, "I need to get medicine, the kind that helps women stop lactation." Her face flushed as she finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant quickly said, "Sir, this kind of medicine cannot be taken casually. It must be examined by a doctor before it can be sold to you."

"Okay, then please have the doctor take a look at me."

"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go and fetch him right away."

A moment later, an old man came out, looked at Liu Siyue, and asked, "Are you here to get medicine?"

Liu Siyue nodded.

"Come and sit down. I heard from the waiter that you need to get medicine to stop lactation. How old is your child?"

Liu Siyue lied, "My child is almost two years old. Because I often have to work in the fields, it's really inconvenient to breastfeed, so my mother-in-law asked me to buy some medicine to stop lactation."

"It's normal for milk to dry up now that the child is this big."

The doctor wrote a prescription and handed it to the waiter. The waiter then gave the medicine boy to prepare the medicine according to the prescription. "Sir, take these three doses of medicine home and boil them down to one bowl of water. Take them before meals and drink them for three consecutive days. During this time, do not feed the child any more medicine."

The medicine cost 75 coins in total.

Liu Siyue paid the money, put the medicine into her basket, smiled slightly at the young doctor, and asked, "Do you buy medicinal herbs here?"

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't accept medicinal herbs delivered by individual customers."

Liu Siyue thanked the people at the clinic and was about to leave when she heard a voice say, "We buy precious medicinal herbs here, such as old ginseng and lingzhi. If you have any, you can send them over. The price will be absolutely fair."

She thanked the people at the clinic and hurried away. It seemed that the medicinal herbs weren't selling well either! She decided to go to the general store first. As soon as she entered the store, the clerk greeted her warmly, "Sir, what do you need? Our Sifang General Store has most of the usual daily necessities."

"How much is the brown sugar?"

"200 coins per catty. Our prices are absolutely fair. How much would you like, sir?"

"Give me one ounce, and 20 sheets of oil paper."

The shop assistant was a little annoyed; it was such a small amount, not even worth the trouble.

The waiter wrapped the brown sugar and placed it on the table. "The oil paper and brown sugar together cost 30 coins."

"How much are those little wine jars?"

When the shop assistant heard that they wanted to buy more things, she immediately became happy again. She looked at the direction Liu Siyue was pointing and said, "This is a 1-jin pack, 3 coins each, a 2-jin pack, 5 coins each, and a 5-jin pack, 12 coins each."

"Give me 5 if you have a 1-pound pack, or 1 if you have a 2-pound pack."

"Okay!"

After filling the wine jar, she asked again, "What's the price of your best wines here?"

"We have some for 50 coins, some for 80 coins, and the best aged wine is 120 coins per pound. Which one would you like, sir?"

"I was just asking, I'll buy it next time."

After leaving the general store, she went to the clothing store. "She bought herself a pale yellow cotton dress and a men's outfit, putting them all into her spatial storage. When she did the math, the two outfits cost 1400 coins, plus one for 30 coins and one for 20 coins, totaling 1450 coins. Money really doesn't go far. She needs to think carefully about how to make money; she can't just sit around and eat her savings away."

She went to the pastry shop again and asked about all the pastries, but she didn't buy any. After asking, she turned around and left, which angered the shop assistant, who cursed, "Poor wretch, you want to eat pastries even though you have no money." When Liu Siyue heard the shop assistant's curse, she was not angry at all, but instead smiled slyly.

Liu Siyue arrived at a secluded alley, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and immediately slipped into her spatial dimension. She entered the supermarket and began packing, opening four bottles of Dukang wine and pouring them into four one-jin (500g) jars, sealing them. She then opened two more bottles, poured them into two-jin (1 catties) jars, and sealed them again. She then wrapped five portions of mung bean cakes in oil paper and five jin (2.5 catties) of brown sugar in oil paper. After organizing all these things, she prepared to leave the spatial dimension. Feeling her breasts were swollen, she quickly ran back to her room, took out a breast pump, and expressed the milk, instantly feeling much more comfortable.

Knowing that her cousin wouldn't buy anything other than pork, she went to the seafood section, caught two bighead carp, and killed them with a knife. Then, she went to the fresh food section and took two neatly arranged white-feathered chickens. That was enough; she couldn't take too much, or her cousin would scold her. She temporarily put the wine, chicken, and fish into her spatial storage, and put everything else in her backpack. Once she had it on her back, she left the spatial storage.

When it was almost time, she headed towards the town entrance. Passing by a steamed bun shop, she was greeted by a fragrant aroma. She turned around and bought four meat buns. The shopkeeper wrapped them in oil paper and handed them to her. The total cost was 13 coins.

She didn't understand why it was 13 coins. There were clearly four buns, each costing 3 coins, so it should be 12 coins. Holding the money in her hand, she asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, why are four buns 13 coins instead of 12?"

"Madam, the extra coin is for the oil paper bag; you can choose not to accept it." Liu Siyue understood, paid the money, and left.

Arriving at the town entrance, I saw my cousin looking this way. Upon seeing her, I immediately waved to her, "April, over here."

Liu Siyue walked over, and Liu Ruyun took the basket from her back. "Why is it so heavy?"

"Cousin, don't ask any questions yet, hurry up and get on the bus to save a seat."

The two sisters got into the car, and Liu Siyue took out some steamed buns from her basket and handed them to Liu Ruyun. "Big sister, are you hungry? I bought four steamed buns. Let's each have two. Eat up."

"April, don't eat it yet, put it back right away."

Liu Ruyun glanced at her, then looked around. Everyone was staring at them with strange looks. One of the women said, "Ruyun, April is old enough to afford meat buns, and you've bought so much stuff! You've struck it rich!"

Liu Ruyun replied, "This doesn't seem to concern you, Auntie."
