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

The continuous rain lasted for 12 days before it stopped. It was so bad that houses collapsed. Most of the houses in the village collapsed, but thankfully no one died.

Liu Dawang's house also collapsed, and now only the room where Liu Siyue lives and the kitchen are still standing.

These days, Liu Siyue is crammed together with her family and has no time to go into her space to cultivate the land. She even has to be very careful when breastfeeding her child. It's really distressing, and she doesn't know how long this will last.

She didn't feed the Bull Demon King any grass, so every day she would secretly throw him two black steamed buns to eat and let him go to the stream to drink water. The Bull Demon King visibly got thinner.

The sun finally came out, but the smiles on the villagers' faces quickly disappeared. Because of the prolonged rain, the autumn crops had rotted or sprouted in the fields. The villagers looked utterly dejected. The summer harvest was meager, and now, a single rain had wiped out the autumn crop. It was simply impossible to survive.

Even more frightening is that many villagers have caught colds, but they can't afford to see a doctor or get treatment, so they can only wait to die at home. They all go to the village chief and beg, "Village chief, please help us. Look, my grandson has been running a high fever and he will die if we don't see a doctor soon."

She's our family's only son! How can you bear to watch her die?!

The old woman banged her head on the ground repeatedly, and soon it was covered in bruises. There were so many people, he couldn't save them all even if he wanted to. First, he didn't have that much money, and second, he didn't have the ability. The villagers were trying to drive him to his death.

The village chief's wife was furious. "According to you, if our master doesn't save your grandson today, we'll be the culprits who killed him."

He is the village chief, that's true, but he's not the village's father. He can't control everything. You all come to my house, but my family doesn't run a money exchange. We don't have that much money to lend out.

Go back now. Those who need to think of a solution should do so. We will also do our best to help everyone get through this difficult time.

Among the people who came to the village chief's house, some were just there to join in the fun. They hoped to borrow as much as possible from the village chief so they could buy more grain and have more food for their families.

This situation wasn't unique to the Liu family; it was the same throughout Lingshui County and even Dongping Prefecture. Although the autumn rain wasn't heavy, it lasted a long time. The rainwater didn't flow into the river; it was all absorbed by the soil and walls, softening them. It would be strange if they didn't collapse.

The village chief knew that several families in the village were in dire straits. In that situation, he couldn't possibly help one family and leave another untreated. There was a doctor in the village, but doctors aren't charities; people also need to make a living. He had to find a way to get everyone treated as soon as possible. The weather was cold, and if the sick weren't treated quickly, their condition would likely worsen.

The village chief glanced at his wife, Wang, who turned her head away. "Don't say that, I don't agree. We only have 5 taels of silver left in the family. I don't know how we'll survive in the future. There are so many mouths to feed in the family. If you take all the silver away, will the family starve?"

"This little bit of money won't solve anything. If you give it to this person but not that one, people will say you're unfair."

The village chief knew his wife was right. He sighed and said, "I'll go out for a bit and think of a solution."

"Given the current situation, where are you going to find a solution?"

"I went to Dawang's house to discuss with Dawang and Siyue. They made a sum of money selling medicinal herbs, so let's see if there's any better way to help the villagers get through this difficult time."

"You're not allowed to go, and you're not allowed to even think about them. Aren't you just pressuring them?"

"I can't just stand by and watch the villagers do nothing, can I? You don't need to worry about this; I have my own plans."

"You stubborn mule, why do you have to make such a fuss? They haven't reached the point of desperation yet, they just don't want to spend their savings. How can you not see that!"

"Those people who are lazy and good-for-nothing, you lend them money and expect them to pay it back?"

The village chief listened to his wife's nagging and then left. There weren't many wealthy families in their Liujia Village. Only a few families lived comfortably, and those families had worked hard and saved up little by little.

He didn't care about the others, but he had to take care of those few poor families in the village. They didn't have much land, and they were very hardworking. Their family's expenses all depended on their family members doing odd jobs. These days, they couldn't go to work, and they were probably already out of food.

He walked along the road until he arrived at Liu Dawang's house, where he saw Huang Lanhua standing at the gate with her two daughters-in-law. "What are you doing here?"

"Village chief, look at what you're saying. April is my daughter. As her mother, it's only right that I care about her. After all this rain, I brought her two sisters-in-law to see her. How have you been these days? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, is that so? Then come and see what she brought. I see you're all empty-handed; you can't just bring your heads, can you?"

Liu Siyue and Ruxue, who were eavesdropping behind the wall, exchanged a glance and thought the village chief was quite humorous.

"Village chief, what are you saying? The situation is not good. I just came to check if April and my granddaughter are alright. Many people in the village have caught a cold, and I'm just worried about them."

"You said you were worried they'd catch a cold, and catching a cold means seeing a doctor and it costs money. Did you come to send money to April?"

"I don't have any money to give away; my own family can't even afford to eat."

"Without money to give, what's the point of watching? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold and then spreading it to your whole family?"

Huang Lanhua was also scared. Upon hearing this, she immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "Village chief, you're busy. We'll go back first and come to see Siyue another day. Please give Siyue my regards and tell her that I, as her mother, miss her."

"I know, hurry back home and keep an eye on the children. Don't let them run around and catch a cold."

"Okay! Okay! We understand, we'll definitely keep an eye on the children." The group ran off through the mud.

As soon as Liu Siyue heard the people walk away, the village chief knocked on the door once, and the door opened. "You two were hiding behind the door." The two chuckled and welcomed the village chief in.

"Uncle Village Chief, what brings you here? We can't go up the mountain today; it's too muddy, and it's easy to have an accident."

"I know that I came here today not for this matter, but to discuss something else with you."

Liu Siyue chuckled, "As long as it's something that the village chief needs, we'll do our best to help."

The village chief smiled awkwardly. "Let's go inside and talk. Call your second uncle over." Liu Siyue invited him directly into the kitchen, where Liu Dawang was weaving baskets.

"I'll get straight to the point, Da Wang, April. I know I shouldn't say this, but as the village head, I really can't bear to."

You live at the end of the village and don't go out, so you probably don't know what's going on in the village. Many people have caught colds, and they've come to me for help, but I can't do anything about it!

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Liu Siyue could roughly guess the purpose of his trip. As a village chief, he was undoubtedly a qualified and competent one, and his character was beyond reproach.

Then the village chief said, "The other people in the village probably have some savings, but they are reluctant to spend money on medical treatment and watch their family members die. I can't control that."

What I want to say is that there are six households in the village, and I hope you can help them. I really can't think of any other way, so please don't be angry with me.

The village chief looked at Liu Dawang and then at Liu Siyue, trying to glean the answer from their expressions.
