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

When Liu Siyue saw Liu Bayue's resentful eyes, she felt a chill in them. Could it be that she was blaming herself for all the mistakes and wanted to take revenge on her? She should be more careful in the future.

"Cousin, is August always like this?"

Liu Ruyun sighed, "She had a very hard time living in the old house. Before, when her cousin Yiyue was around, she was protected by her cousin in everything, so she was able to get by. But since her cousin got married, her life has become much harder."

I don't know what she was thinking. Even when she ran into us in the village, she never greeted us. Ever since we separated from the old house, the people there treated us like plague carriers, afraid that we would come to their door to freeload, and never associated with us.

I never expected her to say such vicious things. How could she have become like this!

"Cousin, after today's commotion, I'm afraid she's already holding a grudge against us. The venomous look in her eyes when she left was quite chilling. From now on, when we go up the mountain, you need to be careful while you're home alone to prevent her from doing anything bad. Also, don't let your guard down with the people at the old house. They probably won't give up until they get the money. Keep the gate closed when you're home, and don't open it unless someone speaks to you."

"I understand, I'll be careful."

In any case, August is just a young girl, and she probably wouldn't do anything outrageous. She usually seems timid, so her behavior today is probably due to what those people at the old house taught her.

She's still young, so don't hold a grudge against her. You'll understand things better later.

"Cousin, I know you have a kind heart. As the saying goes, you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others. The more someone is like this, the less you know what they are thinking."

Hopefully she'll come to her senses in the future. If we have the ability, we'll naturally help her out. For now, let's take care of ourselves first.

"Cousin, I have a question for you. Where did my eldest sister get married to?"

"My cousin was supposed to be married off in January, but it was actually more like being sold, just like you were back then. The only difference was a piece of paper. My cousin was sold to a family in the mountains of Nanshiling, Qingshui Town. I heard that the family was very poor, and all three brothers in the family were bachelors. My cousin was going to be the wife of the eldest son, Shi Dashan."

My dad heard from others that that family wasn't any good, and that he couldn't find a wife there, so he started targeting our family. My uncle's family only saw how much money they had; they didn't care what kind of life my cousin would lead if she married them off.

Your two older brothers used the money you two exchanged to get married and have children, living a comfortable and happy life, but they never thought about where the money came from, or how you were doing.

"Even though we know that our eldest sister is having a hard time, there's nothing we can do to help. Right now, we just need to make money quickly so we can go and see her when the time comes."

Today, Liu Bayue caused such a scene, and the villagers quickly found out. Some cursed Liu Dahu's family for being shameless and coveting money, while others cursed Liu Siyue for being heartless. She was her own sister, how could she be so cruel? Now that she had money, couldn't she help her own sister?

As Liu Bayue walked back, she wondered what they would do to her when she got home since she hadn't gotten any money. As soon as she arrived, Liu Dahu slapped her across the face. "Useless thing! I told you to go ask for money, not to go looking for trouble. You're so brainless! Don't even think about eating today. Go again tomorrow. If you can't get Siyue's forgiveness, don't come back."

Remember, the right thing to do is to build a good relationship with her and get the money.

"Did you remember that?" Liu Dahu asked loudly.

"I remember, Father."

"When Liu Bayue returned to her dilapidated house, she slapped herself hard. She had really been foolish today. How could she have said such things? Father was right. She had to coax her second sister into forgiving her so that her second sister would soften her heart and help her in the future."

The next morning, Liu Ruyun got up early to cook. Liu Siyue took the child into the space to feed the child, and then made a small half bowl of milk powder and took it out of the space to put it away.

Liu Ruyun had already prepared the meal: a pot of mixed grain porridge, several coarse flour pancakes, and a few eggs. "Eat quickly. I've prepared the provisions for your trip up the mountain. Remember, don't go deep into the mountains, and come back as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, big sister, we know."

"Cousin, my breasts are engorged, so I expressed them into a bowl. When the baby wakes up and is hungry, you can give it to the baby to drink."

"Make sure to close the gate after we leave."

"understood."

The three Liu sisters went up the mountain. Liu Siyue walked and looked around. There were only some cheap herbs, such as plantain, dandelion, and gnome grass. She told them as they walked that these were all medicinal herbs, but they were not worth much. Let's go further in.

As they walked, they came to a pine forest. Liu Siyue looked at the pine forest and remembered what she had read in a book: Poria cocos grows parasitically on the roots of pine trees. She called Ruxue and Ruyu over and said, "I'm telling you, do you see these pine trees? Look around the roots of these trees for any brown or dark brown bumps. Call me if you find any."

The three sisters split up to search, and soon Ruxue called out, "April, come here quickly, see if this is what you're looking for?"

Liu Siyue and Ruyu quickly ran over and saw six large, dark brown lumps of various shapes and sizes growing under a tall pine tree. She examined them carefully and found that they were exactly the same as described in the book. She was certain that these were Poria cocos.

"Yes, this is the medicinal herb I asked you to find. It's called Poria cocos, and it grows at the base of pine trees. Just look for it."

Liu Siyue picked the six Poria cocos and put them into her basket. She was very happy to find Poria cocos on her first outing. Soon she heard the two sisters excitedly shouting, "Siyue, come quickly, there are so many here!"

Liu Siyue quickly ran over and, sure enough, found plenty of fruit in the grove. They quickly picked them, filling all three of their baskets. The three sisters were exhausted. Looking up at the sky, they saw the sun was high in the sky and it was very hot. Liu Siyue said, "Let's go outside and find a shady place to rest."

Ru Yu said, "Cousin, let's walk over there. There's a stream there. It's cool there, and we can wash up and drink water."

The three immediately carried a basket on their backs and headed towards the stream. It was indeed cool there, and the water was crystal clear, with small fish swimming around. Liu Siyue rolled up her trousers and went into the water. Seeing that no one was around, the three sisters started playing around. Taking advantage of the other two sisters' inattention, Liu Siyue took a fish out of her spatial storage and placed it in a crevice in the stream, feigning surprise, "Look, there's a big fish over there!" The three sisters chased after it and caught it.

Ruyu caught the fish and said happily, "I never expected there would be such a big fish in this stream. Tonight, my older sister will stew it for my cousin to drink as fish soup. Mother said that drinking fish soup will increase breast milk production, so you must drink a few more bowls, cousin."

Liu Siyue felt a pang of heartache. How did the topic of breast milk come up again? She gave a perfunctory "hmm".

"You two wait here for me. I'll wander around to the west and see if there are any medicinal herbs around here." "Second sister, you stay here and watch the things. I'll go with my cousin."

After walking upstream along the stream for a while, Liu Siyue saw a large patch of chrysanthemums. Further along, she also discovered honeysuckle, which made her extremely happy. "Ruyu, look! These are chrysanthemums, and those over there are honeysuckle. They can both be sold for money. Tomorrow, let's take Uncle Er with us and pick a lot to take back."

I didn't expect to have such a great harvest on the first day.
