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

The sisters dug up some wild vegetables by the stream to cover their baskets, then took the fish and went home. Their home was at the end of the village, close to the mountains. The seven or eight households at the end of the village all had different surnames, except for Uncle Liu's family.

The three sisters saw a person kneeling in front of their house from afar. "Sister, look, there's someone kneeling in front of our house."

"Yes, I saw it. It should be August. I didn't get any money from you yesterday. What are you up to today?"

Liu Bayue was kneeling when she heard footsteps. Looking up, she saw Liu Siyue and the others returning with a full basket of wild vegetables. Liu Siyue didn't want to pay attention to her and walked right past her. Liu Bayue crawled a few steps to Liu Siyue and grabbed her trouser leg. "Second sister, I'm sorry. I was confused yesterday and said some things I shouldn't have. I hurt your feelings. Please forgive me for my youth and ignorance."

"What difference does it make whether I forgive you or not? I've severed all ties with you and don't want anything to do with you anymore. Get out of here. I don't want to see you again. Even if we meet again, you'll be a stranger."

"It seems my second sister is still angry with me and refuses to forgive me. Then I will kneel here until she forgives me."

"Are you threatening me? You've got the wrong idea. I'm not buying it. If you want to kneel, then kneel, but don't kneel here, lest you dirty our territory."

Liu Siyue turned around and closed the door. Liu Bayue knelt there quietly. She didn't believe that Liu Siyue would disregard her own life or death. She hadn't eaten last night and had come early this morning. It was already late afternoon, and she hadn't had a drop of water. She was swaying from the sun and could barely hold on. Suddenly, everything went black, and she fainted.

Liu Qingshan's son was watching from a short distance away. She immediately ran home, shouting, "Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandma, Auntie has fainted!"

Liu Dahu said, "So what if she fainted? What's the big deal? Look, she might already be carried inside. As long as she's still in charge, we'll have better days ahead. Grandpa will take you to town to buy some good food."

"Okay, I'll go check now to see if Auntie has been carried inside."

Liu Ruyun was worried, so she peered out from the doorway and saw Liu Bayue lying on the ground. She rushed in and said, "April, Bayue is lying on the ground without moving. I hope nothing has happened to her. She came very early this morning."

As they were talking, they heard someone outside shout, "Something terrible has happened! Someone has died here!"

The villagers came out as soon as they heard the news, and sure enough, they saw a person lying in front of Liu Dawang's house. Everyone knew who it was without even thinking. One villager said, "Isn't this Liu Dahu's youngest daughter, August? She came here yesterday and made a scene, but didn't get any money. Today she's here again threatening to kill herself. She's shameless."

"That's right. Don't you see how hard Da Wang's family is? They're all women, children, and patients. They don't have any land. They have to spend money every day. They're envious of others who have a little money. If they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have done it in the first place."

"She didn't have any money back then!" a villager joked.

"To be honest, April was quite ruthless. After all, she was her own sister. To watch her die so cruelly was truly heartless."

A villager rushed to the door and shouted, "Dawang, Dawang, open the door quickly! Your niece has collapsed on your doorstep! If you don't help her, she could die! It's a human life!"

The door creaked open, and Liu Siyue came out alone. "Fellow villagers, as you all know, I have severed ties with Liu Dahu's family. When I was at my wit's end, they drove me away without any mercy. Seeing that I had a little money, they came to make trouble time and time again. If I didn't give it to them, they threatened to kill themselves. How can they be so unreasonable?"

"Ru Xue, go and invite the village chief over. We need to get this straight today. If everyone compares themselves to me like this from now on, what difference is there between that and taking our lives?"

Ru Xue quickly ran to fetch the village chief. The village chief already knew what had happened yesterday, and he was also very troubled. The Liu Dahu family were just scoundrels. "Uncle Village Chief, please go and see! Liu Bayue has collapsed and fainted at my doorstep."

Upon hearing that it was this troubling matter again, the village chief took his two sons with him.

More and more people gathered in front of Liu Dawang's house. Someone shouted, "The village chief is here!"

When Village Chief Liu went inside, he saw Liu Bayue lying on the ground and Liu Siyue standing to the side watching. The village chief looked around but did not see anyone from the old Liu family house. At this moment, Liu Dawang and the others also came out.

Liu Siyue said, "Uncle Village Chief, please help me. They have been forcing me to give them money time and time again. I will make it clear today that I have severed ties with them and will not give them a single penny."

Today, I also ask the village chief and all the villagers to bear witness that Liu Bayue's life or death is none of my business, and even if they replace him with someone else in the future, it will still be the same; his life or death will still be none of my business.

"The Liu family is really outrageous. If any family in the village continues to behave like this, they should get out of Liu Family Village as soon as possible and not corrupt the village's atmosphere."

"Da Wang, find a plank from your house, and I'll carry the person back."

Liu Dawang found a two-foot-wide wooden plank. Village Chief Liu had the village women lift Liu Bayue onto the plank, and his two sons carried her to Liu Dahu's house. They also sent someone to fetch a doctor. The villagers followed behind to watch the spectacle.

Liu Dahu's grandson, Liu Laicai, had already run back to report the news: "Grandpa, Dad, something bad has happened! The village chief has had Auntie brought back."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dahu was alarmed and quickly closed the door, instructing his family not to open it.

When the group arrived at Liu Dahu's house, they called and banged on the door, but there was no response. "Fine, you're playing dumb with me. Go find a big log and smash this door open."

Liu Dahu thought the village chief was forcing him to open the door, so he ignored him completely.

Several villagers arrived carrying a log as thick as a bowl, shouting, "Charge with me!"

"Village chief, you're the one who told us to crash into this, so don't come after us later."

"If there's an accident, I'll take responsibility."

Several villagers thought it was quite fun and rammed it with all their might. With a loud bang, the door shook, and soil from the wall fell down. When Liu Dahu saw that the village chief was serious, he knew he couldn't dodge it, so he quickly came out to open the door. But as soon as he reached the door, the second ramming came, knocking down the door and him together, and a large part of the courtyard wall collapsed.

Liu Dahu was pressed under the door and cried out in pain. His two sons quickly lifted the door and pulled Liu Dahu up. Liu Dahu's forehead was bruised and had a large bump.

The village chief and the others went inside and had someone put Liu Bayue on the ground. "Qingshan, go and invite your grandfather out," the village chief said.

Then, Dr. Wu was asked to examine Liu Bayue first. When the old man of the Liu family arrived, the village chief was very polite, as he was an elder. "Uncle Shuanzi, why don't you restrain your family members? You've already severed ties with Siyue, yet you're still causing trouble for others all day long. Is that appropriate?"

I'm here today to tell you that if you continue to behave this way, the village truly can no longer tolerate you, and you will have to leave the village.

"Maoquan, they say even broken bones are still connected by tendons. Although we're no longer related, she's still my granddaughter, and that can't be changed. But don't worry, I've already told them about the foolish things they did before, but they just wouldn't listen. This time I'll definitely discipline them properly so they won't cause any more trouble for the village."

Dr. Wu said, "Village chief, this girl has been malnourished for a long time and fainted from hunger."

The villagers all turned to look at the Liu family. They were truly heartless; they could treat their own granddaughter like this.
