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

Liu Siyue pointed at Liu Dawang, "When my second uncle came back from the clinic, did any of you even bother to ask how he was doing? He and my eldest sister almost died at the clinic in town yesterday. All you asked when you met was why you couldn't work, and why you couldn't get paid if you didn't work."

All you care about is your wages; have you ever thought about the lives of others?

When my second uncle's family was robbed by those shameless scoundrels in the village, you were all on the construction site, right? Did you lend a helping hand or offer any assistance? You just watched helplessly as my family's belongings were stolen, my mother was beaten, and she is still lying in bed unconscious.

When those people were being interrogated in the village ancestral hall, did any of you say a word in defense of my second uncle? No one did. Your silence is an endorsement of their actions. For the sake of the so-called reputation of the village, you allow them to bully my second uncle's family.

It is your silence that has emboldened those evildoers.

During our family's most difficult times, you never said a word for us. So why should we help you? Why should we let you earn our money?

In this day and age, it's so hard to find a job. I'm offering such a high wage, but I can't find anyone to do it. I believe that if this job were given to someone else, they would work hard to protect the Lord's family in order to earn the Lord's money.

Okay, I've finished explaining. Do you all understand?

Don't worry, we have plenty of workers for building our house. We can start work tomorrow, and they're working even harder than you are.

"April, you can't do this! It's not that we don't want to help, we just really have no other choice. We're in a difficult position too."

"There's no way around it. You feel very troubled. Has someone silenced you or tied your hands and feet?"

"No, the scene was chaotic, and those people were blocking us from helping!"

"Don't make excuses for yourselves. If you were to help, those old, weak, women and children would be able to stop you."

Alright, that's enough. Take your wages and go.

These people are considered relatively honest in the village, but they are selfish and unable to distinguish right from wrong when it comes to crucial moments. Liu Siyue asked her second uncle to settle the accounts with them in one go and avoid any further entanglements.

The villagers who had worked left dejectedly after receiving their wages. They now hated those people and regretted their own past actions, which they had allowed to run rampant because they were afraid to take responsibility. They did feel guilty.

But they didn't want to give up such a good job. After discussing it, they went to the village chief to find a solution for them. They couldn't lose this job; what would happen to their families if they didn't have this job?

Liu Siyue led everyone into the house. The main house has now been built, and everyone is living in it. The kitchen in the backyard has also been built, so it's not crowded even with so many people living there.

"Second Uncle, Eldest Sister, you should go and rest. I'll keep an eye on things here, so nothing will go wrong."

"Auntie, Uncle Tian and I are having dinner at my house today. You've been busy taking care of everything, thank you so much."

"Okay, I'll help Ruxue cook."

"Thank you for your help, Auntie."

Ru Xue took Ye Wenxiu and her daughter to the kitchen to cook. Ru Yu started brewing medicine. Only then did Liu Siyue take a good look at Feng's injury, which had a large bump on the back of her head.

She held Feng's hand and said, "Mother, can you hear me? April is back. It's all April's fault for coming back too late."

"Mother, don't worry, I will make those people pay the price."

"Big sister, how are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine, just feeling sore and weak all over."

"Get some rest and don't think about anything else. You should feel better tomorrow. Think about what things are missing from our house, and I'll write them down. I'll make them return everything that's been lost."

"I remember April, I'll tell you now. It's all my fault, I was useless. They stole all the banknotes and silver, and I couldn't even protect Mother."

"Big sister, how can this be your fault? Don't blame yourself too much. It's all because those people are shameless. Tell me about the lost things when I come back from the clan chief's house."

What I didn't expect was that the village chief would actually protect those people who committed crimes; it's truly disappointing.

From now on, our family should have less contact with the village chief's family. The fact that he could watch you being bullied without doing anything shows that he doesn't see the seriousness of the situation and doesn't realize how much trouble his actions will cause in the future. After this incident, those people will become even more lawless in the village.

After dinner, I plan to visit the old clan chief. He stood up for our family and was implicated. He is the clan chief of the Liu clan, and I respect his character, so I want to inform him of what I'm going to do next, so he can be prepared.

"What are you planning to do in April? Don't do anything reckless!"

"Don't worry, big sister. I don't need to lift a finger. I'll make sure they all end up in jail."

"If you report this to the authorities, you'll get a beating. Your body can't take that. If anyone should go, it should be me and your father."

"You don't know this, do you? Only by striking the grievance drum at the entrance of the county government office will you be beaten with a board. If you write a complaint and submit it directly, you won't be beaten."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. I'll bring my mother with me when I go to the county town this time, so the doctor there can take a look at her."

"Okay, I'll go with you when I'm better."

"Big sister, you're injured, so stay home and rest. Besides, the family needs your help. I'll take Uncle and Ruxue with me."

"Okay, thank goodness we have you at home, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do."

Liu Siyue patted her cousin's hand, "Cousin, you get some rest. I'm going to check on Uncle."

Liu Siyue heard Liu Youtian and Liu Dawang talking from outside the house. She coughed lightly outside, "Second Uncle, Uncle Youtian."

"April is here, please sit down."

When Liu Dawang saw Siyue, his eyes were filled with tears. "Siyue, it's all because your second uncle is incompetent. Our home was robbed, and your mother was injured."

"Second Uncle, this is not your fault. It's just that we were too kind and underestimated the wickedness of those people. I have something to discuss with you, Second Uncle."

Liu Youtian stood up. "You guys chat, I'm going home first."

"Uncle Arita, it's not a secret. Just don't tell anyone."

As soon as Liu Siyue expressed her thoughts, Liu Dawang and Liu Youtian said in unison, "You want to report this to the authorities? No, no, you're a woman, how can your body withstand such severe punishment?"

"April, don't worry, once your second uncle recovers, we'll go together."

"Yes, I'll wait for my second uncle to recover before we go together, since he's the head of the family."

"Uncle Youtian, do you know what my cow can eat? Could you please get it some food? I need to trouble you to feed it these next few days, as it's really inconvenient for us to do so."

"Leave it to me, don't worry."

After we finished eating, I went with Stone to get some fodder.

"it is good."

The meal was ready quickly, and everyone enjoyed a delicious meal. Liu Siyue brought a basket, took out 30 eggs and two strips of meat from her backpack, and put them into the basket.

"Auntie, you've worked so hard these past few days. This is a small token of my appreciation. You can't refuse it. Take these things back with you and help your family recover."

"What are you doing? You have a sick person in your family, you should give them some nourishment. We're perfectly healthy, we don't need any."

"Auntie, please take this. I bought a whole basketful today. We have everything we need at home, so please don't be shy. If you're still too polite, I won't dare to do it again..."

"Stop, stop, your auntie will take it, okay? I really can't do anything with you, you little brat."

Liu Siyue took another basket with a piece of meat inside, a bag of brown sugar and two bags of pastries from the supermarket, all wrapped in oil paper and put in the basket. She also grabbed some candy. This was her first time visiting the clan chief's house, so she wanted to bring some food for the children.
