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

Liu Dawang's house was bustling with activity. Liu Ruyun had prepared several large bowls of pork stew, including a big bone broth with radishes, and a large pot of mixed vegetables with lots of large, oily slices of meat. It smelled delicious and tasted even better.

Those who came to help ate at home, while Liu Ruyun and her sisters delivered bowls of vegetables to a few households at the end of the village, giving each family a large bowl of stew. It is said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and this is absolutely true. It is very important to maintain good relations with your neighbors.

The neighbors were overjoyed to receive the vegetables they delivered, and they were full of words of thanks. After delivering the vegetables, the sisters went home and started eating. At the dinner table, everyone ate and chatted. Village Chief Liu first gave the father and daughters a lecture, telling them never to go too far into the mountains in the future. He said that April was lucky to be alive this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Liu Dawang and the others humbly accepted the criticism. As they were talking, Liu Dawang sighed, "It hasn't rained for most of the year. There was a little rain when the rice was ripening in the first half of the year, but not a drop has fallen since. The summer grain harvest has been severely reduced, and I'm afraid the autumn harvest is also hopeless. It's going to be tough for everyone this year. Dawang, your family doesn't have much land, so you're probably going to have even less of a harvest. If you have any savings, buy some more grain to keep at home."

Liu Siyue listened intently to the conversation on the other end of the line. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it had indeed been a long time since it had rained. It seemed she should stock up on more food, as the price of grain might go up later.

On the women's side, besides their family, there was Liu Youtian's wife and daughter, the village chief's wife and two daughters-in-law. The village chief's wife, Wang, said, "Yuzhen, I've noticed that you look much better after not seeing you for so many days. I haven't heard you cough much while you've been sitting here for so long."

"Yes, Auntie, we've noticed it too. Mother's health is improving."

Feng Yuzhen said with a smile, "I also feel much better. I've been eating well and taking care of my health throughout April, and it seems to have worked."

Liu Youtian's wife, Ye Wenxiu, said, "It's all because of poverty. If you had been eating well, you might have recovered long ago and wouldn't have suffered for so many years."

When you come back in April, things will be a little easier for your family. Don't be stingy, take good care of your health so you can truly help your family.

You all should remind your mother to take good care of her health.

"Okay, Auntie."

Mrs. Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I used to be reluctant to eat it, thinking it would be a waste. But since you came back in April and comforted me, I've come to terms with it. Look, my health is visibly improving."

I also hope I can recover soon so I can work with my family to earn money to support them and help take care of April's baby.

A group of people were chatting and laughing when several children suddenly ran in. As soon as they came in, they shouted, "Second Aunt, we want to eat meat!" These shouts made everyone stop eating.

Liu Siyue didn't recognize these children. She counted them and found that there were eight children in total: five boys and three girls. One of the boys and one of the girls looked older, around ten years old. They followed behind the other children without saying a word, their eyes constantly glancing at the dishes on the table.

"Cousin, whose children are these? And who are they calling 'Second Aunt'?"

"Of course I'll call you Second Aunt."

Liu Ruyun pointed them out to her one by one, "Look, those two dirty-faced boys and the girl in tattered clothes next to them are your eldest brother Qingshan's three children. The boy and girl next to them are your second brother Qinghe's family, and the three behind them are your third uncle's family."

Liu Siyue stood up and walked over. "If you want meat, go home and eat it. Don't you feel ashamed to come to someone else's house asking for meat?"

The two older children from Liu Daniu's family blushed instantly. They hadn't expected their cousin to say that to them. "Cousin Siyue, we siblings haven't offended you. You can give meat to others, why can't you give it to us? We're cousins. It's your parents who don't want you, not my parents."

The younger ones didn't care about shame at all. "Grandma said that if we want to eat meat, we should go to Second Aunt. Second Aunt, we want to eat meat! We want to eat meat!"

"You old folks can't get any advantage from me, so now you've changed your strategy and sent the young ones. Go back and tell your parents, grandparents, I, Liu Siyue, have plenty of meat, but I won't give it to you. Even if I can't finish it, I'll feed it to the dogs. It's better than feeding it to you. If I feed it to the dogs, they'll wag their tails at me and make me happy."

Get out of here now!

The two older girls, being sensible, grabbed their younger sisters and ran away. The remaining five stood still, their faces covered in snot and tears. As they cried, they wiped their faces with their sleeves and continued to sob. Meanwhile, the boys lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum.

Liu Siyue pointed at them and said, "Don't think that just because you think this is how you are, I can't do anything to you." She grabbed the children's clothes and dragged them out one by one, throwing them outside.

Upon returning, the village chief closed the door and said, "April, you must not hurt those children. After all, they are still young, and those are all things taught by adults."

"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If this starts, my second uncle's family will never have peace again. They'll be staying here every day."

"The Liu family's old house has a corrupt family tradition, which has led their children astray one by one," the village chief sighed.

After the meal, Liu Siyue offered each family five jin of meat, but they insisted on refusing. Liu Siyue looked displeased. "Uncle and Aunt, do you think it's too little, or do you want me to make the trip myself to show my sincerity?"

"What are you saying, child? We think it's not enough, and we haven't been able to help much. The whole family comes to eat and drink, and then they want to take things with them when they leave. What kind of talk is that?"

"Look at that piece of meat you gave me, it must weigh at least five or six pounds, that's almost 100 coins! We can't possibly accept that."

"Aunties, please don't refuse. You won't get this meat for nothing today; we'll need your help in the future!"

"What are you saying, child? Just because we don't eat your meat doesn't mean we won't help you!"

"Auntie, that's not what I meant. I meant you should eat more meat so you can help out more in the future, hahaha~"

"I really can't do anything with you, girl. That auntie shamelessly accepted it."

Liu Siyue opened the door to see the village chief and the others off. The Liu family children were still standing outside. "Second Aunt, we want to eat meat!"

The children looked up at her, and she felt a pang of pity, wondering if she was being too cruel. But she quickly dismissed the thought, determined not to set a bad example and cause herself trouble. She understood the saying, "It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away."

Liu Siyue picked up a stick from the ground and pointed it at the children. "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'm going to hit you, just like I hit your dad and grandpa." The children were so frightened that they ran away crying.

The children of Liu Daniu's family ran home, crying, and told their parents, "Not only did April not give us meat to eat, but she also said we were shameless. She said she would rather give the meat to the dogs than give it to us."

Liu Daniu's wife, Ma Qiao'er, was furious and vented her anger on Liu Daniu, saying, "You good-for-nothing! The children can't even get a piece of meat to eat. Why is my life so miserable?"

When Huang Lanhua saw that the third brother's child had returned but her own grandson had not, she thought that her scheme had succeeded and was still smug. After all, he was her nephew, and they were separated by a family.

After a while, crying was heard outside the door, and several children with snot bubbles and dirty clothes appeared in the yard.
