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

It was already dark when the village chief and his wife returned home. Their whole family was waiting for them to eat. After a quick meal, the village chief started worrying about selling the land. He wondered who he should sell it to, who was willing to buy it, and who had the money to buy it. Actually, his family could also buy it, but he didn't know if his family would agree.

After the village chief explained his idea, Wang Cuilan glared at him and sighed, "The land deed is in our hands, and we still have some money left over. If you want to buy it, then go ahead."

Wang Cuilan was really afraid that he would go to Dawang again. Now, whenever something happens, all he thinks about is Dawang's family.

"Let me tell you, not a single word of truth has been told by Liu Qingshan's family. Yesterday they told us they only had 5 taels of silver at home, but Liu Daniu said they took 18 taels to town. What does this mean? They're taking advantage of your father, that idiot. They're hoarding the silver and making us bear their debts. They're really scheming."

The village chief seemed to have also thought of the 18 taels of silver that Liu Daniu had mentioned at Liu Qingshan's house earlier. What a cunning family! His kindness had been taken for a fool by them. They deserved to die.

That night, the village chief and his wife were sleeping in bed. The village chief apologized to his wife, saying that he had been blinded by lard and that he was lucky to be sober, otherwise he would have gotten into big trouble.

Wang Cuilan snorted, "Good to know."

"You say that Master Liu's division of the family property was so unfair, how could Liu Daniu and his wife agree to it? They don't even want money for a dilapidated house, but they should at least ask for more land. According to Ma Qiao'er's personality, it shouldn't be like this."

What are they after? Aren't they a bit silly?

"They're not stupid at all. They'd rather suffer a loss than lose out on Liu Dahu's family. What kind of people are Liu Dahu's family? They're cunning and lazy. Yesterday, they deliberately said they only had 5 taels of silver, just so they could pocket the money themselves."

In the past, their family relied entirely on Liu Daniu and his wife for farm work. Just wait and see, that family will have plenty of trouble in the spring.

Go to sleep already. You're busier as a village chief than a county magistrate.

The next morning, the village chief went to deliver the silver to Liu Qingshan. After receiving the silver, Liu Qingshan went to call Tugen's father to go to town together.

"Qingshan, have you raised the money?"

"My family sold the land, and we think we'll have enough money."

Uncle, how's your family?

"My family has no money, so let him be lame. He won't die anyway. I'll bring him back home today and take care of him." Tugeng's father called his eldest and second sons to go to town and carry the person back.

When they arrived in town, the clinic had just opened. Huang Lanhua, who had been worried all night, was immediately relieved to see her son. "Qingshan, you're finally here! Have you raised the money yet?"

"I've gathered the money. I'll go find a doctor to treat Dad right away."

Tugen's parents insisted that their two sons carry Tugen out of the clinic, put him on a door panel they had brought, and take him home. No matter how much Tugen pleaded, it was to no avail.

Once the doctor at Huichuntang received the money, he immediately arranged for Liu Dahu to be treated. He amputated one of Liu Dahu's legs and told them to observe him at the clinic for three days. If everything was fine, they could take the medicine home after three days and come to town regularly for checkups and dressing changes.

Liu Qingshan pawned Huang Lanhua's silver bracelet for 2 taels of silver, left 500 coins for Huang Lanhua, and took the rest back to the village. His family had suffered heavy losses this time, and he had to make up for them. As for where to make up for them, of course, it was Liu Dawang's family.

When Liu Qingshan returned to the village, he didn't even go home. His grandfather supported his decision. He went to each of the families of the dead and injured to contact them and tell them that the reason they went into the mountains was because they heard that Liu Dawang's family had found treasure. If the news of their treasure hunt hadn't spread, they wouldn't have gone into the mountains, and their relatives wouldn't have died.

No one had considered causing trouble for Liu Dawang's family, but after Liu Qingshan's explanation, they felt it made a lot of sense. It was only right for Liu Dawang's family to compensate them. The result of the discussion was: 50 taels for each person who died, compensation for medical expenses for the injured, and an additional 20 taels for each person who was disabled.

Everyone agreed, thinking that what Liu Qingshan said was very reasonable. Tu Gen's father was the happiest, because his family would receive at least 120 taels of silver. He had lost two sons and had one crippled, so his family was going to become rich.

They didn't consider whether they should come or not, or whether Liu Dawang could afford to compensate them; they were already indulging in their dreams.

A group of people gathered together and went to Liu Dawang's house in a grand procession.

Liu Dawang's house was under construction, and the workers were busy moving bricks, mortar, and planing wood. When Liu Qingshan and his group arrived, they immediately rushed into the construction site, making it impossible for the workers to continue their work.

Tu Gen's father and Liu Qingshan stood at the front, and they were the most active because their families had to pay the most compensation.

The workers had to stop what they were doing, and without knowing what these people were up to, they just watched quietly, waiting for the owners to deal with it.

The Liu family was also terrified by the commotion. Liu Dawang stepped forward and faced Liu Qingshan and Tugen's father, "Gousheng, Liu Qingshan, what are you doing bringing so many people home?"

Liu Qingshan curled his lip. "Liu Dawang, we're here today to seek justice. Your family killed so many people in the village; shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

"Yes, we must get an explanation!" someone chimed in, echoing the voice of the newcomer.

"Liu Qingshan, explain yourself clearly. Who killed someone? What kind of explanation do you want? I won't let this go until you explain yourself clearly today."

"Yo~"

This killed people, and they still say it with such self-righteousness.

So many people from the village go into the mountains, isn't it all because of your family? If you hadn't said you'd found treasure in the mountains, would everyone have followed suit and gone into the mountains? If we didn't go into the mountains, would people have died?

Do you all agree with this?

"Yes, that makes sense."

"Have you no shame? Did I let you into the mountains? Did I say my family found treasure? Even if my family did find treasure, what does it have to do with you?"

I don't want to argue with you. Leave now and don't interfere with my house construction.

"You didn't let us into the mountains, but your family's story of finding treasure in the mountains lured everyone in, so you have to take responsibility for that."

"What a bunch of scoundrels! Get out of my house right now, or I won't be polite."

"You're welcome. What more do you want? The villagers are starving, and your family still has money to build a new house. You're really rich but heartless!"

If you want us to leave, you must compensate everyone. We won't ask for more. For each person who dies, we'll pay 50 taels. For those who are injured or disabled, in addition to medical expenses, we'll pay an extra 20 taels. Take Uncle Gousheng's family for example. They lost two sons and injured one. They'll have to pay at least 120 taels, not even counting the cost of medicine. As for my family, my younger brother died and my father is disabled. He's still being treated at the clinic. To pay for my father's treatment, my family not only emptied their coffers but also sold off our land.

What do you all think? Should they pay compensation?

"Yes, they must pay! Pay up! Pay up!"

The village chief hadn't come to their house for the past few days, and they knew something big had happened in the village, so the village chief must have to deal with it. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Ruyun quickly asked Ruxue to invite the village chief over.

At that moment, Village Chief Liu was sitting at home with Bainiwan Village Chief Wei Yuanguang, discussing their recent trip into the mountains, when Liu Ruxue rushed in, panting, "Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Village Chief, something terrible has happened! You have to come to my house quickly!"

"What's the rush, child? Catch your breath and tell me slowly. I have guests here."

Liu Ruxue tried to calm herself down before saying, "Liu Qingshan and Tugen's father brought people from the mountains to my house to cause trouble, and it looks like a fight is about to break out."

"Why are you causing trouble?"

They said that someone from their family died in the mountains, and that it was all my family's fault, so they should pay compensation.

Village Chief Liu was so angry he nearly fell over, and immediately rushed over.
