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

Liu Dahu snorted coldly, "Third brother, I just can't stand your personality. All this whining and whining, are you even a man? You're all grown up but a waste of your potential, always so afraid of this and that. Aren't you afraid you'll choke on your food?"

"Brother, if you're so capable, go ahead and do it. You already have a house full of children and grandchildren."

Liu Dahu stood up. "Dad, I'll go. They say brothers fight tigers together and fathers and sons go to war together. Qinghe and I can look after each other."

Grandpa Liu glanced at Liu Daniu with disappointment, "Alright, you and your son go. Make sure you don't separate and take care of each other."

"I'll take good care of the family. Don't worry about Qinghe's family; he's very lucky and has a good life. With his father watching over him, nothing will happen."

"Grandpa, I..."

Liu Qinghe held his wife's hand and said, "Wife, just wait for me at home. When I find treasure, I'll buy you a big gold bracelet."

Once things were settled, Old Master Liu instructed Huang Lanhua to prepare some dry rations. "Eldest daughter, go to my room and take out that half-bag of flour. Make it into pancakes and give them to them. Add plenty of oil and salt. Also, boil ten eggs from the house and give them to them as well."

When the children heard that there were eggs to eat, they all looked at their parents and said, "Mom and Dad, we want to eat eggs."

"Be good, stop making a fuss. Your father and grandfather are going into the mountains. When they earn money, you'll not only have eggs to eat, but also meat every day and new clothes to wear." The children were appeased, and everyone dispersed.

The same goes for Bainiwan; they also organized a group of people and decided to go up the mountain tomorrow.

During dinner that evening, Granny Liu brought up the rumors circulating in the village and asked if they knew about them.

"Mother, I know about this. I don't know if we've found any treasure, but it's true that we'll be building a big brick house."

"I heard from the villagers that a lot of people are going into the mountains tomorrow to search for treasure. If they find any treasure, they'll be rich."

"Mother, stop thinking about treasure hunting. A bunch of roughnecks, which of them has ever seen treasure before? Do they even know what treasure looks like? If you put ginseng in front of them now, they'd think it's a rotten radish!"

This made Wang Cuicui chuckle. "Mother, my husband is right. The deep mountains are so dangerous, how easy is it to find treasures?"

Granny Liu wanted to get some information out of her eldest son to see if he wanted to go into the mountains to search for treasure, since the family didn't have much money left.

Upon hearing Lu Yunping's words, he knew it was impossible. "Boss, your brother hasn't been back for a long time since he came back last time. He didn't even come back on his days off. I was thinking you should go and see him tomorrow."

"Mother, my second brother is already an adult. He knows better than us when it comes to doing things, so you don't need to worry."

"Eldest son, your mother is right. Tomorrow, have her make some good food to take to Zhou'er. He studies hard and shouldn't neglect his health."

"Understood, Father."

That night, neither Liujia Village nor Baini Bay was peaceful. In Liu Qingshan's house, a voice said, "Husband, Grandpa still loves you the most. Let's just stay home and wait for a better life."

"Wife, don't worry, with your husband here, I will never mistreat you and the children. Once we find some treasure and sell it, I will buy you two big gold bracelets."

The baby is settled now, and we haven't been together in so long, I've missed you so much...

"Then you'd better take it easy."

"Um."

The impatient man finally got his wish and fell asleep peacefully.

Liu Qinghe's wife was sobbing, "Husband, I'm so scared."

"Don't be afraid, fortune favors the bold. I don't want you to live a life of hardship." That night, the two were deeply entwined.

The same goes for the families in Bainiwan who are going into the mountains; many of them are having trouble sleeping. Some are worried about the people going into the mountains, while others are interacting with their wives.

The next day, just as dawn broke, the men from the two villages carried dry rations and took their machetes and headed into the mountains.

These people kept their mouths shut, and the rest of the village had no idea. It wasn't until nightfall, when it was already dark, that the people who had gone into the mountains still hadn't returned. Only then did they start to get anxious, lighting torches and waiting impatiently at the foot of the mountain.

Only then did Village Chief Liu realize that some villagers had gone deep into the mountains to search for treasure. He was furious; these people were courting death! He asked his two sons, but neither of them had seen any villagers go into the mountains. "Dad, what happened?"

"The villagers are all envious, saying that your Uncle Dawang's family has found treasure in the mountains, and they've all gone to the mountains to search for it."

"Ah, even if there is treasure, will they find it so easily?"

"Dad, we've been running around all day and we're exhausted. Let's go back to sleep." Village Chief Liu couldn't sleep. After being scolded by his wife, he took off his slippers and went to bed. "I told you, you're just worrying unnecessarily. People who dare to go into the mountains are fearless. They didn't even think to tell you before they went in. They only think of you, the village chief, after something happened. You're the one who cleans up their messes. Look at how capable you are every day. This village wouldn't be Liu Family Village without you."

Also, in the future, try to avoid involving Da Wang's family in village matters. What you did last time wasn't very ethical.

"Alright, stop nagging and go to sleep."

The two had just fallen asleep when there was a loud banging on the door. The village chief was startled and jumped up. "What are you doing up here in the middle of the night?"

"Didn't you hear someone knocking on the door? I'll go check it out."

"I'm telling you, whatever it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The village chief went out to open the door and saw a large group of people standing there with torches. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"Village chief, my husband went into the mountains with everyone early this morning and hasn't come back yet. Please think of something and send someone to help look for him."

"Yes, village chief, neither my son nor my husband has returned."

"They might not be back because they don't want to. Maybe they'll be back soon. Everyone should go back."

"Village chief, you are the head of the village, you can't just ignore everyone's lives."

"How about I quit being the village chief and you take over?"

A villager knelt down with a thud, pleading, "Village chief, please have mercy and let everyone help us find the person." Others followed suit, kneeling down and begging the village chief for help.

"Tell me, how many people went up the mountain, and who were they?"

"The village chief had a total of 17 people who went up the mountain. Who are they...?"

"So many people have gone up there, and they're all strong men. Do I have to go find them? Call your own family members and go find them yourselves. You're always looking for trouble." The village chief turned to go back.

The villagers immediately grabbed him, saying, "Village chief, we're afraid to go if you don't take us. Besides, we've never been to these deep mountains before, and we don't know the way!"

The village chief thought to himself, after all, they were from the same village, and the lives of more than a dozen people were no joke. He went back to call his two sons, but they were unwilling. The village chief had no choice but to go back to the house to get his things, and his wife scolded him for it.

"Let me tell you, don't you see what kind of families those are? They're lazy and good-for-nothing. Don't end up getting into trouble yourself. My two sons have been working hard all day, and you still want to bully them."

"Alright, just leave it at that. After all, it's 17 lives. If something really happens, I'll have to take care of it."

Village Chief Liu told these people to go back and call their men to go out and search for people. Some of them refused. The village chief got angry and said, "Your own people don't want to go up the mountain to search for people, but you expect others to help you. How can you be so shameless?"

If you can't find me, I'm going back to sleep.

In the end, they had no choice but to go home and call for help. More than 40 people from just these 17 families came. The village chief even sent his son to invite the Meng family from the village. The Meng family used to be hunters and had experience in going into the deep mountains. After they bought land, they never went into the deep mountains again. Two of the Meng family's sons died in the mountains, but their bodies were never found. This was a pain for the Meng family.
