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

Liu Siyue returned from breastfeeding outside, carrying her baby who was sleeping peacefully in her arms. As soon as she entered the Lu family's house, she saw everyone standing in the courtyard. Not knowing what had happened, she forced a smile and asked, "Mother, husband, what happened?"

Granny Liu said, "Liu, I'll be frank today. You probably know very well why you were able to come to our Lu family in the first place. We spent six taels of silver to buy you back. Although we didn't sign any indenture at the time, there were witnesses present. You should still remember that."

With six taels of silver, Zhou'er could marry any kind of wife he wanted. Zhou'er is a scholar, and he values ​​respectability. Considering how you've taken care of him and how much our family has raised you, you're not at a loss.

Zhou'er has always treated you as a servant in the household, never as his lawfully wedded wife.

He had no feelings for you, and his marriage to you was out of necessity. He planned to let you go three months after you consummated your marriage, but who knew that Zhou'er was so capable that she got you pregnant in one go.

Now that you have given birth, the Lu family is giving you a letter of divorce. Go back to your parents' home, and take the child with you. We will forgo the six taels of silver we paid for you; consider it compensation.

Your family only raised you until you were eight years old, and they will give you six taels of silver. If you go back now, you will be of marriageable age and can find a good match. There is no need to waste your time here.

Our Lu family has done everything we could.

Upon hearing Granny Liu's words, Liu Siyue was struck dumb, staring fixedly at her husband, Lu Yunzhou, "Husband, don't you want me and the child anymore?"

"Liu, I've made myself perfectly clear. We were forced to buy you, and I was forced to marry you. I have no feelings for you; I've always treated you like a servant. That child was an accident; I don't want it. Take it with you!"

Liu Siyue felt like her world was collapsing. Her husband didn't want her and her child anymore. What should she do? Tears streamed down her face.

She had always known that Lu Yunzhou didn't love her, but she had been bought to be his child bride, and she had always considered Lu Yunzhou her future husband. But now he said he didn't want her anymore, sob sob~

Lu Yunzhou walked up to Liu Siyue and placed the letter of divorce in her arms. "You can stay at home tonight, and leave with the child tomorrow."

Liu Siyue grabbed her sleeve, knelt down with the child in her arms, and cried out, "Husband, please, don't send me away. My daughter and I will never hinder your future."

I know you don't like me. I swear I will never interfere with your taking concubines. You can take as many as you want. I can even give up my position as the principal wife. I just ask that you give me and the children a place to stay. If we leave here, how will we survive?

"Husband, please have pity on the child. She is, after all, your own flesh and blood, and she is so young. She needs her father."

Lu Yunzhou said in an unfriendly tone, "Liu Shi, don't you understand what I'm saying? Then I'll say it again. You've been divorced, and letting you stay at home for one night is already the greatest mercy I can show. For the sake of the children, I'll have my mother give you one tael of silver so you won't starve to death."

Lu Yunzhou forcefully flung the mother and daughter to the ground and left without looking back, the study door slamming shut behind him.

"Lu Yunzhou, how cruel you are! What have I done wrong? Why are you divorcing me? What gives you the right?"

"Since I came to your Lu family, I have taken meticulous care of you. I have done all the housework and farm work without fail. Why are you treating me like this!" Liu Siyue's hoarse shouts attracted many villagers to gather outside the Lu family's courtyard to watch the commotion.

Granny Liu told her eldest son to close the courtyard gate. "Liu, let's not make things too ugly. It's already merciful of us not to sell you. If you continue to act so unreasonably, don't blame me for being ruthless and selling you to a slave trader and giving your daughter away."

Think carefully about whether your daughter, in her current state, can survive without you.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your child. She's your own flesh and blood. Go back to your room first, and I'll have your sister-in-law take the money over.

We, the Lu family, are kind-hearted. If this happened to anyone else, we would have already exchanged you for money if we didn't need you. You should be content!

The Lu family members all went back to their rooms, leaving her alone sitting on the ground. What should she do? If she left the Lu family, would her family accept her and her daughter? Tears streamed down her face like broken beads, and she was powerless to struggle.

Looking at the letter of divorce in her hand, Liu Siyue walked slowly and heavily into her room. She put the child on the bed and lay down on it, sobbing and crying, her tears soaking a large area of ​​the bed.

Her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she looked like a wooden or clay sculpture. She didn't even hear the child crying.

She recalled the past, scene after scene appearing clearly before her eyes. She remembered the scene of leaving home that day when she was eight years old and was sold to the Lu family. Her parents' words still echoed in her ears: "Today you leave the Liu family, and you are no longer a member of the Liu family."

From that moment on, she knew that it was no longer her home. She remembered that when she was a child, she and her two sisters and her second uncle's family and her third uncle's daughter were all disliked by her grandparents. They scolded them as money-losing goods, saying that they only knew how to waste the family's food. The food they ate was not as good as feeding a few chickens, whose eggs could be sold for money, and raising two pigs could be fattened up and sold for two taels of silver.

These girls had endless chores to do at home and suffered constant mistreatment. If anything displeased them, they wouldn't be given food, and going hungry was a common occurrence.

It was one thing for their grandparents to dislike them, but even their own parents disliked the sisters. Their second and third aunts doted on their daughters, and their lives were much better than those of the three sisters.

When the Lu family came to the Liu family to buy people, the parents agreed without hesitation when they heard the amount of silver involved.

After arriving at the Lu family, she never returned to the Liu family. Her family never visited her again. Only her eldest sister and her second uncle's two daughters secretly came to see her, but they never came again. Perhaps they were discovered by their families, punished, and dared not come again.

The village where the Lu family lived was called Bainiwan, which was not far from Liujia Village. It was only a 2-minute walk away. People often traveled between the two villages and would gossip about them.

Liu Siyue then learned that her eldest sister had married into a family in the mountains. At that time, she was not yet of marriageable age, and she was very worried about her eldest sister.

My second uncle's family had daughters one after another, and my grandparents said they couldn't continue the Liu family line, so they separated them and made them live separately.

Because the second uncle was the only male heir, the grandparents only allocated one mu of dry land to his family. Fearing that the family would come back to freeload, they even wrote a letter severing ties with the second uncle's family.

From then on, she never cared about the Liu family again. She did her best in everything, just to have food to eat and to please Lu Yunzhou.

Liu Siyue remembered that when she first arrived at the Lu family, Granny Liu scolded her, which made her tremble with fear. Granny Liu was very satisfied to see her like this, and then pointed to the man lying on the bed and said to her, "Siyue, you are a child bride that our Lu family bought. This is your husband, Lu Yunzhou. He is not in good health, so you must take good care of him."

Seeing the boy lying on the bed coughing incessantly, Liu Siyue quickly poured a glass of water and fed it to him little by little. Granny Liu was very satisfied, and then said to Lu Yunzhou, "Zhou'er, from now on, Siyue will take care of you."
