After lunch, Liu Siyue took the child to take a nap, while the others went about their business.

Liu Siyue was half asleep when she thought she heard someone calling her second sister. Thinking it was just her imagination, she turned over and continued sleeping.

When Liu Ruyun saw Liu Bayue standing at the door looking so pitiful, she couldn't bear it. Knowing that Liu Bayue wouldn't give up until she saw her, she told her to wait while she went in to call for help.

She knocked on the door and called softly, "April~ April~".

Liu Siyue responded, "Cousin, you're here." She opened the door. "Would you like dinner?"

"What are you having for dinner? Are you still half asleep? Your sister is coming to see you in August."

"August is here, where are we?"

"She was right outside the courtyard gate; I didn't let her in."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

As Liu Siyue stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Liu Bayue standing at the door. When the original owner left home, she was still young, and her memory of her appearance was now vague. As for the current Liu Siyue, she had no feelings for her at all.

She saw that Liu Bayue didn't speak, but was searching through the original owner's memories. The original owner and her older sister had indeed treated this younger sister very well in the past.

Liu Siyue thought of her sisters' names. Her name was the most ironic. Her eldest sister was the first granddaughter in the family. She was born in January, so the family named her Yiyue (meaning "January"). However, the original owner of this body was not born in April. The reason she was named Siyue (meaning "April") was because her eldest sister named her in April.

Her family used to call her "Little Scoundrel," and her eldest sister called her "April" every day. That's how everyone started calling her. Her name "August" is also because she was born in August.

Liu Siyue also searched through the original owner's memories and found that the reason why the original owner was the least popular at home was because the birth of the original owner was not smooth, and Huang Lanhua suffered a lot.

It turned out that after Liu Dahu's family was beaten by Liu Siyue, they went to the village chief's house to ask him to uphold justice. Not only did they not get any benefit, but they were also scolded. Liu Qingshan was not convinced and was unwilling to give up. How could so much money be given to Liu Dawang's family? After thinking it over, he set his sights on Liu Bayue.

This younger sister had been protected and raised by her older and second younger sisters since she was little, and they had a very deep bond. If they could get her to go find that brat April, they would definitely be able to get some money. He told his parents about his idea, and they also thought it was a good idea. As long as they could control August, they wouldn't be afraid of not being able to control April.

No matter how the other talents got the money, as long as they could get it, the two families would spend it together. The Liu family's third branch, Liu Daniu and his wife, were especially happy to see this. They couldn't wait to get the money back. If they went too late, those people would spend all the money, which would be bad.

Liu Bayue felt hurt when she saw that her second sister was not warm towards her and did not take the initiative to speak. She had come with a mission. Her parents and older brothers had told her that as long as she could get money from her second sister, they would treat her well in the future, find her a good husband, and give her a dowry. With her brothers backing her up, no one would dare to bully her.

She was terrified of being married off to a remote mountain village like her older sister, where no one would know whether she lived or died. She asked the village chief, who said that it was impossible for an unmarried woman like her to sever ties with her family. Since she couldn't escape it, she should try to please them and show them that she was still useful so that they wouldn't mistreat her.

Liu Bayue stepped forward and hugged Liu Siyue tightly, sobbing uncontrollably. Liu Siyue did not hug her back, which greatly disappointed her, as her second sister treated her this way.

"Second sister, it's me, August. I miss you so much."

Liu Siyue's intuition told her that the people from the Liu family's old house were definitely hiding not far away watching her. She pushed Liu Bayue away from her arms, "Bayue, it's been so many years, you've grown up. You shouldn't have come to find me. If the people from the old house find out, it won't be good for you. Go back quickly."

"Second sister, I am your most beloved little sister. How could you be so heartless as to send me away? Don't you know how much I suffered at home, how many beatings I endured? Don't you care or ask about me at all?"

Second sister, please help me. I don't want to be sold to the mountains and die like my eldest sister.

"So how do you want me to help you?"

"You have more than 20 taels of silver, so give me 10 taels. My parents said that as long as I can get the silver back, they will treat me well, find me a good husband, and give me a dowry to support me in the future."

Second sister, you're willing to help me, right? You wouldn't want to see your own sister suffer for the rest of her life, would you?

Liu Siyue knew this would happen. She thought her younger sister would see through the true colors of the old mansion's people and realize it was all a trick, so she would leave her alone. She never expected her to be so foolish, believing just a few nice words. If she loosened her grip a little today and gave her some sweet talk, she would be in endless trouble in the future.

To dissuade those people in the old house from their schemes, she couldn't be soft-hearted. If she gave them something this time but not next time, she believed Liu Bayue's fate would be dire. She might even be punished when she returned. They certainly wouldn't give up and would make her come again. She could just refuse a few more times and give up when she saw no hope. If she had the chance in the future and could help, she would, but definitely not now.

"August, I can't agree to your request, and I can't help you either. It's not easy for me to raise a child alone. This is our lifeline. I was born prematurely and have a lot of health problems. My child is also not healthy and needs to take medicine."

My child and I have spent a lot of money on medicine to regulate our bodies during this period. If it weren't for my second uncle's family taking us in, my daughter and I would probably not be alive today.

You can't make things difficult for me and my child just for your own sake. Please leave.

"Second sister, how can you be so heartless? How can you bear to watch your own sister live a life worse than death? I am your own sister! We grew up together, you can't just fill this bottomless pit of money for them."

They're only willing to take you in because they're after your money, Second Sister, don't be foolish.

Your daughter was born prematurely. Even if you spend a lot of money to keep her alive now, she will be weak in the future. How will you support her then? Don't end up losing both her and your child.

"If you remarry in the future, with such a sickly child, who would want you? It's better to use this money to make life better for the people around you."

Liu Siyue was utterly stunned by her shameless remarks. It seemed that she had been brainwashed by the people in the old house, and she could say such outrageous things. Liu Ruyun wanted to go up and argue with her, but Liu Siyue waved her hand and she retreated.

"Liu Bayue, although I have severed ties with the old family, we are still sisters. I was still somewhat affectionate towards you just now, but I never expected that you would not only slander my second uncle's family, but also dare to curse my daughter. Who gave you the guts and courage?"

With a sharp "smack," someone shouted, "Get out! Get as far away from me as you can! Your parents don't care about you, so you come here to play the victim. I'm not buying it."

Hiding in the distance, the Liu brothers, Qingshan and Qinghe, cursed her as an idiot. Who told her to say such things? They turned around angrily and left, intending to give her a good beating when they got back.

Liu Bayue covered half of her face. "Second sister, did I say something wrong? You'd rather help this family than me. If eldest sister knew how you treated me, she would be heartbroken."

Liu Siyue slapped him again, saying, "You selfish person, you don't deserve the kindness from me and my older sister, or the care your second uncle gave you when you were little."

Get out! I never want to see you again!

Liu Bayue glared at Liu Siyue with resentment and ran away crying.
