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

Seeing that Liu Yiyue was sitting silently to the side, looking out of place among them, Madam Feng asked with concern, "Yiyue, have you eaten and drunk well? Are you feeling unwell from sitting for so long?"

Your body has only just recovered a little. If you're feeling weak, don't push yourself. Go back and rest in bed.

"Second Aunt, I'm fine. Seeing everyone chatting and laughing together makes me happy."

"Once you've fully recovered, you can join us for some fun and excitement."

"Xiangqin, you and Xiaotao, clear the table of dishes and clean it up. We'll be serving snacks later."

With everyone's help, the table was cleaned up in no time, and the sound of bowls and plates clattering could be heard from inside the room. Many hands make light work, and the room was tidied up in no time.

Liu Ruyun came out carrying a stack of plates. Liu Siyue and Feng put all the snacks they had bought onto the plates: candied fruit, melon seeds, peanuts, raisins, candies... there were more than a dozen plates in total.

Everyone sat together again, eating sunflower seeds and chatting. Liu Siyue instructed Qingwu and Qingling to bring out the barbecue grill and light the charcoal for a while before grilling. The dishes were already prepared.

At this point, only their family remained in the main room; the servants had all gone to prepare the barbecue.

"Cousin, these snacks are so delicious! Some are sweet, some are salty, and some are spicy. Paired with this drink, they're absolutely amazing!"

"You two eat slowly. There's plenty of food at home, enough for you. Just don't eat too much and get a sore throat."

"Cousin, we know."

"I've prepared a New Year's gift for everyone. Would you like one?"

"I want it! I want it!"

"If you want a gift, say something nice to me."

Ruyue and Ruxing were the most enthusiastic, saying, "We wish our cousin will become more and more beautiful and have more and more money."

Ru Yu quickly added, "I wish my cousin a Happy New Year and that you have a good mood every day."

"In April, I wish you beauty more than flowers, peace and good fortune, and that you will soon lead me to great success."

"Ru Xue, are you giving blessings and making wishes at the same time?"

"Hehe, is that not allowed?"

"In April, I wish you all the best in whatever you do, and that whatever you wish for comes true."

"Wishing you all the best in April, eldest sister."

"I wish you a carefree life and a good marriage in the future."

"Second Uncle wishes you peace and safety forever, that you never have to worry about food or drink, and that you are never bullied."

Thank you for your blessings.

I wish my mother and second uncle a loving marriage, a long and happy life together, and that they will never be apart.

Wishing all my sisters and friends all your dreams come true and everything goes smoothly.

"Wait here, I'll go get you your gifts."

Liu Siyue carried a bundle on her back, and Qingwu carried a wooden box. They put their things on a chair, and then Qingwu went out.

Liu Siyue took out a small box and placed it in front of Liu Dawang.

"Second Uncle, this is for you. Open it and take a look."

What could be in such a small box? Could it be a silver ingot? Liu Dawang thought as he opened the box. When he took out what was inside, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a land deed for 80 mu!"

He then took out the next few sheets of paper, which turned out to be indentures, and they belonged to a family.

"April, what is this?"

"Second Uncle, congratulations! You've finally become a small landlord."

"You mean all this land and this family are mine?"

"Yes, Second Uncle, aren't you happy? I remember you said that what you wanted most was to have your own land."

Holding the land deed, Liu Dawang's hands trembled slightly, and his voice was trembling with sobs. "Yuzhen, we finally have our own land. We'll never go hungry again."

"Honey, this is a joyous occasion, don't cry!"

"I'm happy, I'm happy!"

Liu Dawang examined the land deed carefully again. "In April, isn't this 80-mu (approximately 13 acres) estate not far from our village?"

"Yes, Second Uncle, this 80-mu farm is closest to Liujia Village. Don't you like farming? It will be convenient for you to go to the fields."

Actually, I bought several estates, all larger than this one, but they're all too far from the village, making it inconvenient for my second uncle to visit.

"These estates aren't cheap in April. How do you have so much money? You're not doing anything illegal or disorderly, are you?"

We'd rather not have these things than let you do something foolish.

"Mother, Second Uncle, what are you thinking? Is your daughter that kind of person?"

The money I used to buy the estate was absolutely clean; I earned it penny by penny.

Madam Feng and Liu Dawang expressed their doubts. Seeing their puzzled expressions, Liu Siyue said, "Mother, Second Uncle, if you don't believe what I'm saying, you can ask Qingwu."

"Okay, call Qingwu in."

"Madam, you wanted to see me?"

"Qingwu, did you know that your master bought several estates?"

Qingwu glanced at Liu Siyue. "Qingwu, I'm asking you a question. Why are you looking at your master like that? Stop flirting and trying to evade the question!"

"Mother, we didn't try to cover it up, Qingwu, just tell us the truth."

"I know that Master is buying a farm; I even accompanied Master on the trip."

The master said these estates were extremely rare and hard to come by, so he bought them.

"Buying these estates will cost a lot of money. I have a rough idea of ​​how much silver our family has. How will your master use it to buy them?"

"Madam, you don't know how hard it is for our mistress to earn money. During the day, she has to deal with all sorts of things, and at night she stays up late by lamplight writing stories."

The money to buy these estates came from the master's sales of storybooks.

"My lady works so hard; it breaks my heart to see her like this."

"Qingwu, don't talk nonsense. I haven't worked hard at all."

"How could it not be hard work? That thick stack of storybooks was all written by Master word by word. I don't know how many nights he stayed up."

"April, my daughter, the family is a burden to you."

"Mother, we are all family, so why talk about being a burden or not?"

Today is Chinese New Year, everyone is happy. If I had known you would be so sentimental, I wouldn't have brought these things out; I would have given them to you after the New Year.

"Your mother loves you dearly!"

"Mom, I'm not working hard at all. I'm willing to let everyone live a good life. Let's work hard together in the future."

Cheer up, everyone! Don't cry, it makes me feel bad too.

"Second Uncle has finished giving out his gifts, now it's Mother's turn."

Liu Siyue placed a slightly larger box in front of Madam Feng. "Mother, open it and take a look!"

Madam Feng opened the box with great anticipation. The dazzling jewels inside almost blinded her. "April, why did you buy such expensive jewelry? I'm not worthy of it!"

"Mother is so beautiful, of course she deserves it! Let's dress her up tomorrow morning, what do you all say?"

"Good, good, Mother is the most beautiful mother."

Liu Siyue then took out three small boxes and placed them in front of Liu Ruyun and her two sisters, saying, "Open them and take a look."

The three sisters opened the box at the same time, took out the paper inside, and found that it was a house deed.

"April, what's going on?"

"These are the deeds to three shops in town. The three shops are connected together. My cousin's shop is a two-story building, while yours are both one-story buildings."

My cousin's cooking is already very good. I think we can open a restaurant in town. It's our own place, so we don't have to worry about losing money on rent. Let's practice first.

You two should think carefully about what you want to do.

The shop is very large; it has a storefront in the front and a courtyard in the back, which can be used for living.

"Like the moon and the stars, these are for you. See if you like them?"

Liu Siyue wound up both music boxes, and they started playing music, with the little figures on them moving.

"Cousin, we love it! We love it so much!"

"Elder sister, this silver hairpin and gold bracelet are for you!"

Liu Yiyue took the items and said thank you.
