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

Huang Lanhua turned and left angrily, and Liu Dahu ignored his father and followed her.

Old Master Liu stormed back to his room, fuming. "Old man, what's gotten into you?"

"I've figured it out now. None of these sons are easy to deal with; they're all ungrateful wretches."

Do you know what the boss and his wife were saying just now? They wanted us to hand over control of the household, but I refused on the spot, and they even gave me the cold shoulder.

"Old man, you absolutely cannot hand over the power to manage the household. Once you do, will they still treat us so well? As long as we hold the money in our hands, they will have to obey us."

We need to leave ourselves a way out.

"Old woman, don't you want to go live a better life with your second son's family?"

"I want it, I dream about it, but would they even want it? The second son's family is not someone we can control now. The village chief and the clan chief are all on their side, and everyone in the village is on their side. If we cause trouble, we will definitely be driven out of the village."

"Old woman, we can't get to the second son, so we'll have to start somewhere else."

"Old man, have you come up with a brilliant idea?"

"Of the three maids in the main house, don't even think about getting anything from April, that ungrateful wretch. She won't give us any benefits. August is obedient, so she'll be easier to control in the future."

There's still a month left. We're currently staying at the second brother's house. The food there is so good, it won't be long before we recover. That girl is kind-hearted; as long as we treat her well, she'll definitely think of us.

January is the eldest sister and has always doted on her two younger sisters. She believes that April, that brat, will definitely treat her well and give her plenty of benefits.

She's divorced now, so she can't stay at her second son's house forever; she doesn't want to become a laughingstock among the villagers.

Once she's fully recovered in January, we need to bring her back home to live.

"Old man, you're right. August is over now, isn't it? Come back and ask about January."

"I asked my second child today, and she said January went very well."

"It wasn't our idea to marry her off to Nanshiling; it was her parents who agreed. But that's all in the past. Every woman needs a family. If we're willing to take her home, I believe she won't refuse."

"Okay, we'll go and bring them back when the weather gets warmer." The old couple were plotting how to manipulate the person and how to get their share of the benefits.

Liu Daniu and his wife went out and waited for the village chief outside. As soon as the village chief came out, Ma Qiao'er immediately stepped forward to apologize and thank him, "Village chiefs, we are really sorry for today. You caused such a scene during the New Year, and you didn't even have a good New Year."

"Da Niu, you should know very well what kind of people the Liu family in the old house are. Living your own life well is the right thing to do. You are not young anymore, and you can't always let women take the lead. You are the head of the family, and you should shoulder the responsibilities you should bear."

I shouldn't have said those things. I hope you'll be more discerning in the future and not let others take advantage of you.

"Okay, I've got it."

After the village chief finished speaking, he left. Liu Daniu looked at Ma Qiao'er and said, "Qiao'er, I'm really sorry. I will never get involved in the affairs of the eldest son's family again. Here, take this money."

Ma Qiao'er took the silver and pinched Liu Daniu hard. "You cowardly brat." Liu Daniu grinned and followed his wife home happily.

Liu Dawang returned home with his share of the sacrificial offerings and called his family together to share them. After distributing the offerings, he realized Liu Siyue was missing. "Where's Siyue?"

"Dad, April is still sleeping, I can't wake her up no matter what I do."

"Honey, let's eat first and save the food for the children. Have Ruyun deliver the monthly portion."

"Ruyun, if your cousin doesn't want to eat, don't force her."

"Mother, I know."

After the family finished sharing the offerings, Liu Ruyun took a small piece of meat on a plate to Liu Yiyue's room. "Cousin, this is the sacrificial meat that Dad brought back. Eat it quickly."

"Ruyun, I don't want to eat it. You can take it back." Liu Ruyun didn't insist. She took the plate and left. This was sacrificial meat. How could an outsider like her eat it?

Before long, adults and children from the village came to wish them a Happy New Year. Feng was overwhelmed with the guests. She gave each child a red envelope, and the children were overjoyed to receive them. There were quite a few children from the village who came.

When asked about Liu Siyue, Madam Feng smiled and said, "That child stayed up late yesterday. She just got up and said she had a bit of a headache, so she went back to bed."

"Won't our noise affect my rest in April?"

"It's alright, it's Chinese New Year, we should celebrate in a lively atmosphere."

"Yuzhen, the Liu family's old house just had a big fight with Da Niu and his wife. Huang Lanhua and Ma Qiao'er, the two sisters-in-law, even got into a physical fight. In the end, the village chief had to step in to resolve the matter."

"What's the point of making a fuss during the Lunar New Year? It's so unlucky."

The woman just laughed, "It's funny to think about. That old man Liu was a glutton. He snatched and ate the sacrificial offerings that the clan had allocated to Liu Daniu. Do you know what those sacrificial offerings were?"

You'd never guess if I didn't tell you, it was a chicken claw from the chicken your family took. That old man was already in his fifties, and not only did he eat his own offerings, but he also stole his own son's. Was he just greedy, or did he have ulterior motives?

When Ma Qiao'er found out, she had a big fight with Liu Daniu and went to the Liu family's old house to make a scene. I heard that in the end, the people at the old house paid her two taels of silver to settle the matter.

Liu Daniu was lucky to have married a formidable wife; otherwise, he would have been completely controlled by the people in the old mansion.

"How could Liu Dahu and Huang Lanhua be so shameless? Those two children left behind in Qinghe are their own grandchildren, right? They wouldn't feed them and forced them to go to Liu Daniu's house to mooch meals. How can anyone be so heartless?"

"If you can be so heartless to your own children, how much more so to your grandchildren who have no parents to protect them?" Madam Feng casually remarked.

"You're right, but it's a pity for those two children. They follow August around all day, it's heartbreaking to see. After August gets married, there will really be no one to take care of them."

"It's all fate; no one can change it!"

Villagers came and went in waves, and by lunchtime, no one came anymore. Liu Dawang took out a string of firecrackers and lit them with a crackling sound; it was time for his family to have lunch.

This time, Ru Xue was quite ruthless, loudly calling Liu Siyue to get up. Liu Siyue groggily opened her eyes, her head throbbing, and she lay weakly on the bed.

Ruxue's voice reached my ears one by one, "April, get up quickly, or I'm going to bang on the door. It's almost lunchtime, and it's the New Year, how can you sleep in like this?"

Liu Siyue suddenly sat up in bed. A foul smell made her feel nauseous and she wanted to vomit. Then she looked around and saw that the room was a mess because of her vomit. Only then did she remember what happened last night. She had blacked out from drinking and didn't know what happened after that.

She quickly left the space and answered Ru Xue, "Ru Xue, don't call me, I'll be right there."

"Okay, we'll wait for you to start eating."

Liu Siyue returned to her space, reeking of alcohol. She needed to wash herself thoroughly and would tidy up the room later. After taking a shower, the smell of alcohol on her body was masked by the fragrance of her shower gel. She then got dressed and went out.

When she arrived at the main room, she saw her whole family waiting for her. Feeling a little embarrassed, she first offered her New Year's greetings to ease the awkwardness: "Mother, Second Uncle, Sisters, and all my dear sisters, I wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best."
