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

That night, the sisters slept soundly without experiencing any seizures or nightmares.

Early the next morning, Liu Dawang went to find Ye Laosan, who knew how to slaughter pigs in the village, and also went to find the village chief and his son, as well as Liu Youtian and his son, because slaughtering pigs was hard work.

Last night, the villagers learned that Liu Dawang's family had caught a wild boar, and the news spread throughout the village. If it weren't for the fact that it was already dark and Liu Dawang's family consisted entirely of women, they would have stayed up all night to watch the wild boar. They patiently waited until morning, and came to see the wild boar as soon as it was light.

The villagers surrounded Liu Dawang's house in layers, making it completely airtight. Liu Siyue had secretly entered her space last night, spent two hours turning over the soil, and planted some red beans. She was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by the noise outside. When she looked again, she found that her cousin had gotten up and left sometime earlier.

Liu Siyue glanced at her daughter, who was sleeping soundly, and smiled awkwardly. She was still a child, and she had already become a mother here. What would her mother's reaction be if she knew that she had also become a grandmother? She wondered how her mother was doing now.

Sigh, never mind. I need to get up quickly. My second uncle and the others are probably going to slaughter a pig. I need to go and see. I've never seen a pig being slaughtered before!

Several strong men carried the wild boar out, and everyone was astonished by its size. It was incredibly fat and large, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Second Uncle, are we going to slaughter a pig in the yard?"

"Um."

"Won't this make the yard smell really bad?"

"No, look over there. They've brought back such a huge pile of soil, and the frame is already set up. All the filth will flow into the soil."

"Liu Siyue actually disliked the fishy and slightly smelly odor, but since her second uncle had already prepared it, she didn't say anything."

Liu Ruyun was boiling water in the kitchen to scald the pig hair later. Liu Siyue came in and asked Liu Ruyun what she could do, "Cousin, what do you think I can do?"

"You're not needed here. Just go back and look after the children. We'll treat the people who helped with the pig slaughter to a feast later."

Liu Siyue had never eaten "pig-killing feast" before, and she was looking forward to it.

She watched as the people who had come to help scalded the pig's body with hot water and scraped off its hair with a knife. The dark wild boar was scraped until it was white and plump. They gutted it, cut it into pieces, and the butcher's movements were skillful, indicating that he was used to it.

Pieces of meat were laid out on the table. The villagers couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they looked at the juicy, fatty meat. One villager said, "Dawang, it's so hot. The meat will spoil easily. There's so much meat that your family can't finish it all. Rather than let it go bad, we should share it with the villagers. It would be a great help to you."

"Yes, Dawang, ever since we bought half a jin of meat to treat ourselves during the Spring Festival, we've been eating meat. The kids often ask for meat. If you could share a piece with us, they'd remember your kindness. There are eight of us in the family, so we don't need much. Five jin of meat will be fine."

"Yes, Dawang, we don't need 5 jin, 2 jin or 1 jin is fine too. We'll go home and freshen up the place. We're eating wild vegetable porridge and mixed grain pancakes every day, and we can't take it anymore."

"Dawang, you can't eat alone. We villagers must help each other and be united and friendly. Only in this way can we show the good atmosphere of our Liujia Village."

......

Liu Dawang was red-faced and furious at what these people were saying, and he didn't know how to refute them. Liu Siyue heard their remarks and cursed inwardly. No matter what era, there are always shameless people who love to take advantage of others. If her second uncle didn't share the pork with them today, he would become a heinous sinner.

The village chief and the others couldn't say anything, since it was meat from Liu Dawang's family, and they had no say in the matter. Ultimately, it depended on Dawang himself. He had come to me saying he wanted to sell it, so why was he silent now?

He believed that if he dared to speak up for Liu Dawang now, the villagers' spittle would drown him.

Liu Dawang looked embarrassed, his face turning red. "Folks, you all know our family's situation. I'm taking this meat to sell in town; it won't spoil."

"Dawang, that's really unfair of you. We live in the same village and see each other all the time. We won't stop you from selling it, but you should give us a share of what you have. We'll also help you if you ever need anything in the future."

"That's right, look at your daughters, none of them can get married. I'll ask my sister-in-law to find them a good match. Don't be so stingy, we're not eating your flesh for nothing."

......

"Oh, since you're not going to eat for free, then pay for it. We're going to sell this meat in town, but since everyone in the village wants to eat meat, we'll sell it to you. Considering we're from the same village, this pork is normally a few coins more expensive than domestic pork, but I'm not selling it at the price of wild boar meat. It's 2 coins cheaper than domestic pork in town. Whoever wants to buy, hurry up, or you'll miss out."

"You're just a girl who was divorced and sent back. What right do you have to speak here? Even Da Wang didn't say anything. You're nothing. The villagers didn't kick you out. You should be grateful and share the meat with them. Otherwise, Liujia Village won't tolerate you."

"I had no idea this aunt had so much power, able to kick someone out whenever she wanted. When did Village Chief Liu hand over the position to you, or did she hand it over to your man?"

Liu Siyue looked at the village chief and said, "Village Chief Liu, the village chief is appointed by the government. It's against the rules for the village chief to give up his position privately. If the county magistrate finds out, it will be considered contempt for the law and disrespect for the county magistrate."

The woman was so frightened that she quickly said, "Village chief, that's not what I meant. Don't listen to that girl's nonsense."

Village Chief Liu said with a serious expression, "Then what do you mean? When did it become your place to make decisions about Liu Family Village?"

"Village chief, I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart. Quickly squeeze out of the crowd and slip away."

Some people even wanted to take the meat for free, saying, "Village chief, we don't want more, just give each family one jin, we only want one jin."

"What are you thinking? If you want to eat meat, just pay for it. It's already 2 coins cheaper in April. You can buy it right here at your doorstep without having to go anywhere else. It's such a good deal."

The villagers were still not giving up and questioned Liu Dawang. Liu Siyue smiled and said, "Don't force my second uncle. I risked my life to get this wild boar back. I'm the one who makes the decisions."

"If you want to buy, hurry up. I'll only wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you don't buy, I'll take you to town."

"I want 5 jin (2.5 catties). Can I pay you back on credit? I don't have the money right now, but I'll pay you back when I have it."

"Let me make it clear beforehand, no credit, cash on delivery."

Finally, someone couldn't resist anymore. It seemed like they weren't going to get any advantage this time, so they started offering one pound, half a pound, two pounds...

Liujia Village is a large village. After the villagers bought everything, they only had about 50 jin left for themselves.

When Liu Dahu's family saw the big piece of fat meat, they could see it but couldn't eat it. They cursed Liu Siyue for being disobedient, unfilial, and utterly heartless.

Liu Dahu's grandsons were clamoring for meat, saying, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Great-Grandpa, Great-Grandma, we want to eat meat."

Liu Qingshan's wife immediately had an idea. "Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandma, Siyue has a problem with us. Laifu, Laicai, and Laigui are her own nephews. They haven't offended her. She can't take her anger out on the children, can she?"

Huang Lanhua suddenly had an idea. She called her grandsons over and said, "If you want to eat meat, go to your second aunt. If your second aunt doesn't give you meat, cry and make a fuss. The louder you cry, the more meat you'll get."
