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

Those with quick minds started to have ideas. Liu Siyue brings good fortune wherever she goes. If she were to be married by one of their own, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing, and it would also bring prosperity to their family?

If she finds the Lu family repulsive and is unwilling to come to Baini Bay, it would be good to tell her mother and nephew that if her family is doing well, she will be doing well too.

Liu Siyue was unaware that she had become a woman who brought good fortune to her husband and family, and that someone already had their eyes on her.

Zhu Cuihong finally got to the bottom of what had been weighing on her mind, and felt extremely relieved. She then returned to Liujia Village with her sisters.

That afternoon, news spread like wildfire throughout Bainiwan that Liu Dawang's family had unearthed a treasure and were building a large brick house.

Some people even went to the Lu family to annoy Liu Pozi. "Lu family, do you know that the second daughter-in-law you kicked out, Liu Siyue from Liujia Village, is now doing really well. She bought dozens of acres of land, and I heard she even found a treasure in the mountains. Now her second uncle's family is building big brick and tile houses. And it's not just one or two rooms, it's many rooms. The bricks are piled up at the door like a small mountain."

Everyone says she's a lucky charm for her husband and family.

"snort!

That little bitch swindled so much money from our family. She can't spend it all. So what if she has a few stinking coins? We don't regret divorcing her at all. It was a very wise move by my son.

Once my son Zhou'er passes the county-level imperial examination, then the provincial-level examination, and eventually becomes the top scholar in the capital, he'll be a high-ranking official. He'll be ennobled and appointed as a prime minister. That's not something money can buy. Do you understand?

My son is already so powerful and influential, why would he lack a little money? Countless people want to give him money to spend, but he doesn't want it.

Just like you, you want to worship Buddha but can't find the temple gate.

My son is a literary star descended from heaven, so he can choose his own marriage partner. There are plenty of well-bred young ladies who want to marry him, but my son prioritizes his studies and is focused on his education. He doesn't want to talk about marriage right now.

Let me tell you, a young lady from town came up to me wanting to marry my son, but he rejected her. She was heartbroken and threatened to kill herself, declaring that she would marry no one but my son.

"That's good that my son refused. Plenty of daughters from wealthy families will be waiting to marry a top scholar in the future."

Granny Liu is quite the talker; she left the visiting auntie completely bewildered, making her believe that what she said was true.

She didn't see the result she wanted and left dejectedly.

Granny Liu spat at her retreating figure, "Pah, what a piece of trash, coming here to annoy me."

Wang Cuicui came out of the house, supporting her aching back. "Mother, what's wrong? Who made you angry?"

"Don't pretend you're something just because you're carrying a baby. Go wash the clothes right now. None of them are easy to deal with."

"Mother, I was just worried about hurting your grandson. You've had a hard time these past few days. Once I give birth, I'll definitely work hard and take care of you."

Nowadays, all the housework in the Lu family falls on Granny Liu and Zhou's two children, who are exhausted and have aches and pains every day.

She put down her work and went out to inquire whether what the old woman said was true.

When Granny Liu inquired in the village, it turned out to be true. Everyone was still most enthusiastic about going into the mountains to dig for treasure, and they even decided to go to Liujia Village the next day to investigate further.

If this were true, she would feel really bad. How could that bitch be living so well without the Lu family?

The next day, many people from Bainiwan arrived at Liu Dawang's house in Liujia Village. They were quite surprised by what they saw: a bustling construction site with neatly stacked blue bricks.

It seems the villagers were telling the truth. Everyone knows Liu Dawang's family was once impoverished and has no descendants. It looks like they really struck gold.

The village chief of Liujia Village thought something had happened, so he led the villagers out and asked, "What are so many people from Baini Bay doing here in our Liujia Village?"

"Village Chief Liu, we just came to see Liu Dawang's family building a house. We heard they found some treasure, is that true?"

"That's not true. Don't listen to people's nonsense. Go back now."

"Village Chief Liu, if they hadn't found the treasure, where would they have gotten the money to build a house?"

"Liu Dawang, where did you find that treasure?"

"Don't listen to people's nonsense, we didn't find any treasure. We just picked up some mountain produce."

"Mountain goods are so valuable, where did you find them?"

Seeing how difficult these people were, Village Chief Liu's face fell. "Tell me where you hid your silver, okay?"

The man chuckled. "I was just curious, nothing more."

Everyone, hurry up and leave, don't interfere with our work.

The people of Bainiwan walked back, discussing their plan to search for treasure in the mountains. As they left the village, they encountered a convoy delivering blue bricks, which filled them with envy and strengthened their resolve to go into the mountains.

Many people in Liujia Village also had this idea, and they decided to find some people to go into the mountains together so that they could look after each other.

The people from Bainiwan came to inquire about this matter today; they must have the same idea.

The mountain between Bainiwan and Liujiacun is actually one mountain that spans several villages. It is called Niujiaoshan, a high and densely forested mountain that is very steep. In the past, wild beasts would come down the mountain and injure people, so the villagers dared not go deep into the mountains.

Fifteen strong young men from Liujia Village decided to go up the mountain together. Someone had seen the approximate location of Liu Dawang's ascent and was very confident.

Upon hearing this, the brothers Liu Qingshan and Liu Qinghe were thrilled. They went over and asked to join the treasure-hunting team.

Since everyone was young, they immediately agreed to go up the mountain at dawn the next day.

Liu Qingshan felt as if he could see a treasure right in front of him, plenty of silver waiting for them to spend, and prostitutes for them to choose from.

When the two brothers returned home, they called everyone together. "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, we're planning to go into the mountains to search for treasure tomorrow. We've already talked to Tugen and the others."

Mother, please prepare plenty of dry rations for us.

Grandpa Liu frowned as he listened. "No, this is too dangerous. There are wolves and tigers everywhere in these deep mountains. What if something happens to them?"

"Grandpa, don't worry. There are 17 of us, all of us are strong and healthy. We can take down even a bear."

The two brothers thumped their chests loudly, repeatedly assuring each other that there would be no problem. They wanted to show that bitch April that her older brother was capable too.

Grandpa Liu remained silent, frowning, as he puffed on his cigarette.

Liu Qingshan continued, "Grandpa, please let us go. They say a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without windfall gains. This is a rare opportunity."

How can our family be outdone by that childless Liu Dawang, and become a laughingstock in the village? Grandpa made a mistake by driving away his most fortunate son.

These words struck a nerve with Old Master Liu. When he went out and met his old brothers in the clan, they ridiculed him, saying he was muddle-headed and blind.

After taking the last puff of his cigarette, Old Master Liu tapped his pipe on the edge of the table. "Since you all want to go so much, then go ahead."

The two brothers were overjoyed, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Grandpa!"

"But it's not the two of you going. Qingshan, you are the eldest grandson in the family, and you have a great responsibility. Your wife is pregnant, so you shouldn't go. Let your third uncle and Qinghe go instead."

Liu Daniu stared wide-eyed at his father. "Dad, let me go. My children are still young. If something happens to me, how will they live?" Liu Daniu's eyes were red. He was really scared. He had encountered a wild boar on the mountain in April.

Ma Qiao'er also cried and said, "You can't do this! If you let Da Niu go, I won't live anymore."
