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

Since buying this pile of things and putting them here, Liu Ruyun told her family not to look at them and to wait until she returned in April to deal with them when she had time. Her family fully supported Liu Ruyun's approach.

Today, when April took all these things out and distributed them to everyone, I was still shocked. I bought so many quilts, fabrics, and cotton. How much money must have been spent!

"Oh, right, the cloth shop clerk also gave us a big bag of scraps of cloth. See if you can use them. The rest is all grain. As for the snacks, our family ate them tonight, just like last month."

Everyone agreed with Liu Siyue's arrangement and then went about their own business, leaving Liu Siyue to take care of the child.

After lunch, Liu Bayue walked up to Huang Lanhua and said, "Mother, I'm going to gather pig feed."

"Go away, go away! I gave birth to a bunch of good-for-nothings, not one of them is easy to deal with, not one of them can help the family. My life is truly miserable!"

Every day, Liu Bayue would go up and down the mountain to check under the big locust tree to see if her second sister had left her any food. Today, she heard from some of her nephews that her second sister was eating dumplings. She really wanted to eat some too. She hadn't eaten dumplings in so many years. She couldn't remember what dumplings tasted like, and she didn't even know.

She walked all the way to the big locust tree, glancing inside Liu Dawang's house as she passed by. The gate was closed, and she couldn't see anything. She noticed that the grass under the locust tree had been disturbed, and she was delighted, thinking that her second sister must have brought her food.

She looked around and, finding no one, immediately took her basket and walked down a side road. She found a secluded spot, brought out the bowl of dumplings, and tears streamed down her face. When she tasted the dumplings, she couldn't even tell what they were like; she only felt an indescribable bitterness.

She forced back her tears and savored the delicious dumplings. The chive and pork filling smelled so good, and the cabbage and pork filling was also delicious. As she ate, she choked up again, thinking of her older sister who had married into the mountains.

Second Aunt's health had indeed improved a lot. She helped Liu Ruyun and the others start making quilt covers. Second Aunt cut the fabric, and the three sisters sewed it. They finished making all the quilt covers for the house before dinner.

They all took their chosen duvet covers back to their rooms and put them on, pressing their faces tightly against the blankets. Wow! They were so soft and comfortable! It would be even more comfortable and warmer to sleep under these covers.

Liu Ruyun put on her own quilt and then put on the quilt for her two younger sisters. To her, these two younger sisters were more like her own children. She had been taking care of them since they were born and had raised them little by little. Although she had never married or had children of her own, she was very experienced in raising children.

Her family was poor in the past, and her two younger sisters suffered a lot. She hopes that they can grow up carefree in the future, and she doesn't want her sisters to suffer the same hardships she did.

Ru Xue excitedly came out of the house and hugged Liu Siyue from behind, saying, "Siyue, thank you. I like you so much."

Ru Yu came out and hugged Liu Siyue and Ru Xue, saying, "Cousin, I like them too!"

"I like you all too, it's a genuine feeling. We're sisters, and we must support each other through thick and thin to achieve our dreams."

Seeing their two older sisters holding Siyue, Ruyue and Ruxing were not to be outdone. Each of them grabbed one of Liu Siyue's legs, saying, "Cousin, cousin, we're here too. We love you very much, we like you a lot."

"I like them all, I love them all!" Liu Siyue laughed a little exaggeratedly, choking on her own saliva and coughing. The sisters quickly let go, Ruxue took the child, Ruyu patted her back, and the two little ones, not knowing what to do, massaged Liu Siyue's legs.

When Liu Siyue recovered, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, I almost choked! Ruyue and Ruxing are really amazing; they saved my cousin's life!"

The sisters smiled at each other. Liu Siyue really enjoyed the sisterly affection. She used to be an only child and envied her classmates who had brothers and sisters. They could quarrel and tease each other when they had nothing to do. This kind of affection was really rare. If she was bullied, she would go to her older brother and sister for support and to stand up for her. She would say, "You all just wait, I'm going to tell my brother or sister."

Lost in thought, Ru Xue noticed her absent-mindedness and waved her hand in front of her eyes. "April, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I was just thinking about the bond between us sisters, and I hope it will remain as strong as it is today. I cherish that very much."

"April, cousin, cousin, cousin, we promise that we will always be this good to you, always treat you well, and always love and like you."

Liu Siyue smiled faintly, "Alright, alright, stop being so sentimental. Shouldn't we be making dinner? Ruxue, you help me take care of the child, and I'll help my cousin make dinner."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure my niece is well-behaved."

Aunt Liu was truly touched by this scene. The children's good relationship was the best thing ever. Even after they got married, they could look after each other and wouldn't be bullied without help. Siyue was a capable and independent woman, and her children would probably rely on her for protection in the future. She also hoped that they could learn some skills from Siyue so that they could have a foundation for themselves in the future.

"Cousin, I'll help you cook today. You'll be the chef, and I'll be your helper. What dishes are we making tonight?"

"Braised bamboo shoots with cured pork, braised fish, minced pork with green beans, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried greens, a few cold dishes, and some dumplings from lunch that we didn't finish."

"That's enough. I've prepared a lot of snacks. Making too many will be a waste if we can't finish them, and they won't taste good for the next meal."

Ruyu also came in to help. The three sisters busied themselves in the kitchen, and the aroma of meat wafted out, making the neighbor's children drool. They stood in the yard, inhaling the aroma, as if their mouths were filled with the delicious smell of meat.

The neighbors complained, "Da Wang's family eats meat every day, look how much their son craves it, it's so unfair." Actually, she also craved meat, but as an adult, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Liu Youtian and his son returned from the mountain, having caught a pheasant and collected a few wild eggs. Liu Shitou excitedly entered the house, "Mother, little sister, look what Father and I caught today!"

Liu Qiuju ran out of the room, "Big brother, you're amazing! You actually caught a pheasant! Mom, big brother caught a pheasant!"

Liu Shitou proudly opened his palm, revealing a wild egg inside. "Little sister, look what this is?"

"Wild eggs!"

"Yes, there are three more in the basket. I'll have Mom stir-fry them for us later."

"Mom, I've killed the chicken and fried these eggs. That'll make dinner tonight."

"The chicken is still alive, so don't kill it yet. We have vegetables and meat at home, so I'll tell you when we eat."

Liu Bayue went down the mountain, put the basket back in its original place and covered it. She carried a basket of pig feed home. After she had eaten her fill, the basket of pig feed didn't feel so heavy anymore.

As she passed by Liu Dawang's house, the gate was still closed, and hearty laughter could be heard coming from inside. Her eyes were filled with envy; how wonderful it would be if she could be one of them.

Liu Siyue and the others laid out a large table full of dishes, both meat and vegetables, both hot and cold. Everyone sat together, ready to start eating. "Second Uncle, it's a festival today, why don't you have a drink? I remember you haven't finished the wine from last time, have you?"

"My second uncle didn't finish it. He couldn't bear to drink it all and decided to wait until the New Year to drink it."

"Second Uncle, it's a holiday today, so feel free to drink if you want, but don't get drunk. We're going into the mountains tomorrow. Besides, as long as you don't overindulge, drinking can actually be good for your health."

Liu Dawang brought out the wine that hadn't been finished last time. As soon as the cork was opened, her craving for alcohol was immediately awakened, and she had no choice but to drink it.
