Liu Siyue was also planning to take the oxcart back when she heard a woman say, "Lanhua, isn't that your Siyue? Siyue, come and sit here."

She intended to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, but Huang Lanhua still saw her.

Huang Lanhua turned around after hearing the woman's words and saw Liu Siyue carrying a basket on her back. "You brat! You don't even greet your mother when you see her! Don't you know anything about respect?"

"Aunt Huang, you can't just become someone's mother. If Uncle Da Hu finds out, he'll think you made him a cuckold."

"You filthy bastard, how dare you talk to me like that? I'll tear your mouth apart today!" Despite being a bit plump, Huang Lanhua was quite agile. She jumped off the oxcart and pounced on Liu Siyue.

Liu Siyue didn't want to get entangled with her, so she turned and ran away, with Huang Lanhua chasing after her, while the people on the oxcart laughed heartily.

Liu Siyue ran too fast, and Huang Lanhua was out of breath and couldn't catch up at all. She returned to the oxcart in a huff, sat down hard, and made the oxcart shake violently. The old ox that was pulling it mooed twice.

Once he caught his breath, he said, "Look at this! This is the wicked child I gave birth to. He is unfilial, disrespectful, and contrary to the will of Heaven."

Liu Siyue walked very fast, overtaking one person after another, and was more than half an hour faster than usual, about the same time as when she rode in an oxcart.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Cousin, Little Sister, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back. Did you walk back? You're covered in sweat," Auntie asked.

"Yes, Second Aunt, I originally planned to ride in the oxcart, but Huang was also on the oxcart. We even had a fight. She tried to hit me, so I ran away."

"Go wash them quickly, we'll cook them as soon as we finish wrapping them."

"In April, you went to town this morning. Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law's children came and said they were bringing you vegetables for the festival."

I told them you weren't here, and they left with their baskets, saying they'd come back when you returned.

"I see. Their behavior shows they're not sincere. If they really wanted to give it to me, they could have just left it at home. Why did they have to wait for me to come back? Do you think I don't know what they're up to? They just want to exchange a few vegetables for some nice things to take back with them."

I'll close the door now, so it won't get in our way when we eat later.

Liu Siyue turned around, closed the courtyard gate, filled a basin with water, and went back to her room.

"Ruyue, Ruxing, you two go out first and let your cousin change her clothes and wash up. She'll give you something good to eat later."

The two sisters went out happily. Liu Siyue closed the door and took the child into the space. Liu Siyue was in a hurry to take a shower and did not notice the changes in the space. She returned to her room, took a comfortable shower and washed her hair, and then dried her hair with a hairdryer before starting to make formula for the child.

The more she looked at the child, the more she liked him. He was a pink and tender little dumpling with bright, black eyes that darted around, bubbles coming out of his mouth, kicking his legs and waving his hands in the air.

"My dear Yao'er is so beautiful, she'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty."

"Cousin, dinner's ready!"

When Liu Siyue heard someone calling her for dinner, she quickly came out carrying her child. "Coming!"

She opened the door, and the two sisters stood there, blinking their big eyes, taking a deep breath. "Cousin, you smell so good! You smell even better than pork!"

Liu Siyue was laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up while holding the child. "You two actually compared me to pork, that's really something!"

She took two big apples, one for each of them, saying, "Let's eat first, then we'll eat."

"Thank you, cousin! These fruits are so big and red, they must taste delicious!"

"You'll find out when you eat it."

The two sisters took the apples back to their room. Ru Xue Ru Yu asked Liu Si Yue what she was laughing at with her two younger sisters. Liu Si Yue smiled and said, "Those two little ones actually compared me to pork, saying I'm even more fragrant than pork."

Ru Yu playfully sniffed, "Let me smell if you smell better or if the pork smells better." "What smells so good? Why does it smell so good?" She sniffed Liu Siyue all over. "Haha, you really do smell better than pork. Little sister is right."

"Cousin, what did you put on your body?"

"I bought some bath and hair wash products from the county town yesterday, and I used them today. I didn't expect them to not only clean me well but also smell nice. You can all take a shower tonight, and then cover yourselves with new blankets. I bought new blankets for everyone."

"Great! That's wonderful! I've wanted a new blanket for ages!" They were all looking forward to the feeling of taking a shower and sleeping under the new blanket that night.

"The dumplings are ready, time to eat."

Plates of dumplings were served, and the family sat around the table in the yard, happily eating and chatting. Farmers don't adhere to the traditional rules of not speaking while eating or sleeping.

"Second Uncle, after we finish eating, will you come with me to the village chief's house? Although we paid for the cows we used, we didn't feed them before they took them away. It's only right to give them a small gift. I also plan to ask the village chief for a favor."

"I've been back since my divorce, but I haven't registered my household registration yet. I'm afraid the villagers will use that against me."

"Alright, it's time to get your and your child's household registration done and put them on your second uncle's household register to avoid any gossip."

"Second Uncle, I am a divorced woman returning home, and I can register my own household, so I would like to register my own household as a woman."

"Are you trying to leave us?"

"It's not what you think. It will be more convenient for me to handle things after I become a separate household. Even if I get into any trouble, it won't involve you. We can protect and help each other."

If it's registered under one person's name, then no one can escape responsibility if something goes wrong.

Although I now live in a separate household, we're still a family; it just means people will talk less.

"We don't understand these things either, as long as you don't distance yourself from us."

"What are you saying? How could I be distant with you? We'll always be family. I'll need your help taking care of my children in the future."

"Okay, okay, once your second aunt is better, she'll help you take care of the child."

"Cousin, we'll help you take care of her too. We'll play with Yao'er; she's such a good girl."

"Ruyue and Ruxing are the best at taking care of children; they reward them with delicious food in the evening."

Huang Lanhua returned home in a huff and gave Liu Siyue a good scolding. "That little bitch deserves to die! She humiliated me in front of so many people!"

"Mother, let's not provoke Second Sister now. She should be back by now. Let's take the vegetables to her."

"Go on, go on, bring back more things. That brat must have bought quite a lot."

"Yes, Mother." Liu Qingshan's wife, Yu Guixiang, and Liu Qinghe's wife, Gu Xiaocao, each carried a basket and led their children to Liu Dawang's house.

When Yu Guixiang met some villagers on the way, she deliberately said, "It's almost a festival, so we, as the sisters-in-law, are going to deliver some vegetables to Second Sister so she can have a good holiday." Yu Guixiang didn't believe that he would kick her out when she went to deliver things to him. They say that guests are always welcome, and you shouldn't hit someone who is smiling. If she dared to do that, the villagers' spittle would drown her.

dong dong dong~

There was a knock on the courtyard gate, and the lively atmosphere instantly became quiet. "April, it's a festival today. Your eldest and second sisters-in-law have come to bring you vegetables." Their voices were loud, attracting a lot of onlookers.

"On such a festive occasion, her two sisters-in-law have already gone to great lengths to bring her food, which is already giving her a lot of face. Yet she refuses to come out of her house. She has no manners at all. What's so great about a woman who has severed ties with her family and been divorced?"

"Exactly, if it were my daughter, I would have beaten her so badly she couldn't tell east from west. The Lan family is just too kind-hearted."

......

Hearing everyone's discussion, Yu Guixiang and her sister-in-law raised their eyebrows, looking confident of victory.
