After feeding her child and putting him to bed, Liu Siyue quickly grabbed her breast pump to take care of her own needs. Once she had finished everything, she prepared to decoct her medicine. Following the doctor's instructions, she decocted two bowls of water down to one bowl and drank it before meals for three consecutive days.
The medicine was simmering slowly on the induction cooker. Before it was even ready, she heard someone calling her to eat. She quickly picked up her child and left the space, opened the door, and pretended to be sleepy. "Ru Xue, I won't eat. I ate two steamed buns on the way back, so I'm not very hungry. I'm sleepy now, and I want to take a nap."
"Okay, go to sleep. I'll tell them to keep their voices down and not disturb you."
Liu Siyue closed the door, picked up the child, and went back into the space. The medicine was almost ready, and it would be ready to drink after it cooled down. She hoped that her second uncle would open the room soon. Without underwear, it felt like being naked, which was very uncomfortable. Once she had her own private space, she wouldn't have to worry about being exposed when she wore underwear.
After taking the medicine, she was really sleepy. She took the child out of the space, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, the room was dark. She opened the door and saw that it was almost dark. An enticing aroma was coming from the kitchen.
A few moments later, a number of people came in from outside, bringing bowls and chopsticks. As soon as Liu Shitou came in, he said, "It smells so good! What delicious food have you made?"
Liu Youtian slapped his son, saying that he was about to get married but was still not mature enough. Liu Shitou chuckled.
The men set up one table, and on the women's side, Liu Dawang found a plank of wood and temporarily set up a table. "Please make do with this," he said.
On the women's side were Second Aunt Feng, Village Chief's wife Wang, Liu Youtian's wife Ye, and their six sisters; on the men's side were Second Uncle, the Village Chief and his two sons, Liu Youtian and his son. The sisters brought the dishes to the table, and Liu Dawang took out a two-jin bottle of wine. Liu Dawang had mentioned wanting to drink before, and the Village Chief had even brought the wine jug. He loved to drink and had specially spent money to buy it for himself.
Liu Shitou took a deep breath of the aroma of the dishes filling the air. "My cousin Ruyun's cooking is truly amazing! Braised fish, salt-braised chicken, stir-fried pork slices with scallions, stir-fried green beans with shredded pork, stewed pork chunks, deep-fried stir-fried vegetables, cucumber salad, lettuce salad—and while the men have wine but no soup, the women have an extra egg drop soup."
As soon as the wine jar was opened, the aroma of wine filled the entire courtyard. The village chief took a deep breath and exclaimed, "This wine is so fragrant! I have never smelled such a mellow and delicious wine before."
The village chief quickly put away the wine jug and served the wine directly in a bowl.
Liu Siyue ladled half a bowl of soup for herself, stood up with the bowl in hand, and said humbly and politely, "Dear uncles and aunts, elder brothers, I am able to stand here and speak with you all today thanks to your care and help. I will remember your kindness. Today, I offer you this soup as a token of my sincere gratitude." After saying this, Liu Siyue bowed deeply.
"April, you're exaggerating. We're from the same clan, and I have a good relationship with your second uncle. Your second aunt and your Aunt Wang are also distant relatives. Besides, I'm the village chief. How can we stand idly by if you're in trouble?"
Don't pay attention to those rumors anymore. Just live your life well, raise your child, and if you have any difficulties, feel free to come to your uncle and aunt, or your brothers. We'll definitely help if we can.
Thank you all in April. I hope you enjoy your meal and drinks today.
Village Chief Liu said, "People still need to be literate and understand reason. Look at April, she says the same things so beautifully. When we have the means, we should let our children learn a few words."
Come, come, let's not talk about anything else, we can't waste such good food and wine.
The atmosphere was lively on the men's side, while the women chatted about everyday matters. The village chief and the others praised the wine and asked Liu Siyue where she bought it and how much it cost. Liu Siyue replied that she bought it from a general store in town for 120 coins per jin.
When the village chief heard that it cost 120 coins, he was astonished. This girl was really willing to spend money. No wonder it smelled so good; she had the money in the bag. "April, I appreciate your kindness, but you can't spend money like this in the future. You have many other things to do with your money."
"Uncles and brothers, you deserve the best." These words warmed their hearts. Even Liu Shitou, who doesn't drink, insisted on trying the wine when he heard it was so expensive. Liu Youtian disagreed, "Dad, you said I'm getting married, and you won't let me drink a little wine? Are you going to be laughed at on the wedding?"
"Drink up, drink up, don't drink yourself to death and waste this good wine and food."
Everyone was in a good mood today, and they ate and drank until very late under the stars and moon. The men were so unsteady on their feet that they had to be helped back by the women.
Liu Siyue had made up her mind that she would go to the Lu family tomorrow and teach them a lesson.
After breakfast, she fed her child and asked her two sisters to watch over the baby. "Cousin, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be right back."
She quickly left the village and headed towards Baini Bay. She picked up a stick from the grove by the roadside and went straight to the Lu family's door. When the villagers saw Liu Siyue carrying a stick and walking aggressively towards the Lu family's house, they quickly followed to see what was going on.
Liu Siyue arrived at the Lu family's courtyard gate, but when she pushed it open, it was closed. She then pounded on it loudly, and Liu Pozi's voice came from inside, "Who is it? Banging on the door so loudly in broad daylight, can you afford to pay for it if you break it?"
The door creaked open, and when Granny Liu saw it was Liu Siyue, she immediately started cursing, "You shameless hussy! You've already divorced my son, yet you still want to bother me. You're utterly shameless!"
Ignoring Liu Pozi's spittle flying everywhere, Liu Siyue pushed her aside, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a stick, and started smashing things. Liu Pozi rushed into the kitchen and saw a mess, with a big hole smashed in the pot.
Now only Granny Liu and Zhou Xiangxing are at home in the Lu family. Zhou Xiangxing has already heard the commotion outside and knows that Liu Siyue has come back and smashed the kitchen. She feels a sense of satisfaction. Good thing she smashed it. No matter how much noise is going on outside, she ignores it. Someone quickly went to inform the village chief and the men of the Lu family.
Granny Liu cried and wailed, and picked up a stick to fight Liu Siyue. But she was no match for Liu Siyue. The stick struck her on the buttocks, and Granny Liu dropped the stick in pain, clutching her buttocks and howling.
This woman has been a completely different person since she left her home. Her behavior is entirely different from before. She's now willing to do anything. Since she can't beat her or argue with her, she can only throw a tantrum. "This is outrageous! She's going to kill me! Everyone, please be the judge! She cheated my family out of our money and then came to our door to beat up our elders and smash things for no reason. No matter what, I'm her elder, her mother-in-law. How can she be so heartless and cruel?"
Liu Siyue stood there watching the show, knowing that someone must have gone to invite the village chief or the men of the Lu family. She wanted to see what these people would say when they arrived, and she wouldn't give up until they gave her a satisfactory answer.
