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

Ma Daya heard what she wanted to hear, and she wanted to share this exciting news with the villagers. She and Wu Shuimei said goodbye to Zhu Cuihong, and the two talked as they walked. "Daya, have you noticed that Liu Siyue, who was divorced by the Lu family, is becoming more and more capable? I never noticed it when we were in Bainiwan."

"Everyone in the village says that Liu is a lucky charm for her family. Whoever she goes to will be blessed. I think Liu Dawang's family is going to enjoy good fortune thanks to his niece."

As the two talked, they arrived at the village. Ma Daya's loud voice immediately drew a group of women. The two sat in the middle of the crowd, talking and gesturing. The people were shocked, cursing those who had stolen their belongings as shameless, and praising Liu Siyue for her skill. They said that if it weren't for her, Liu Dawang's family would have been bullied to death by the villagers.

"Who can argue with that? They just take advantage of Liu Dawang because he has no sons and is an easy target."

"Those who are greedy might just want to divide up their family fortune."

"You're absolutely right. They just want to seize people's property. They want to compensate each dead person with 50 taels of silver, and the injured not only have to pay for medicine but also receive an extra 20 taels. Don't you think this is driving people to their deaths?"

"What's even worse is that Aunt Liu was beaten unconscious, and Uncle Liu and everyone else were almost beaten to death by the clansmen."

"These Liu clan members are shameless and can't distinguish right from wrong. Our village chief is much better."

"You can't say that. There are still good people. The Liu clan chief is very reasonable, but he was ostracized by the Liu clan members because of the elders above him."

"If you ask me, it's the village chief's fault for being out of his mind. He helped those robbers, so he deserved to be arrested."

Granny Liu was also in the crowd. Hearing this, she laughed heartily, "This is what you all mean when you say that Liu is a woman who brings good fortune to her husbands, and that whoever she goes to will be blessed with good fortune."

I think she's a nemesis. Before they went to Liu Dawang's house, the family was living peacefully. But in such a short time, she's brought them to the brink of ruin.

Her second brother died in the mountains because of her curse, her father lost a leg because of her curse, and her eldest brother was imprisoned because of her curse. She brought unrest to the people of Liujia Village.

She brings bad luck not only to relatives but also to outsiders. Why did the people from our village return safely when they went into the mountains to dig for treasure? It's because our village is blessed with outstanding people and auspicious energy, and we have my son, the God of Literature, protecting us.

"Our money isn't free; it might just turn into our own personal straits someday. That's karma."

Everyone sneered at Granny Liu. "Aunt Liu, you should watch your mouth. No matter what, Liu was once your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she even gave birth to a granddaughter for your Lu family."

"That's right, you should do something for your children and grandchildren. Those people's lives and deaths have nothing to do with the Liu family. Don't make baseless accusations."

"Old Liu, you drove away two such good daughters-in-law, and now you have a 'goddess' to keep at home. Aren't you especially happy?"

Aunt Zhao had always disliked Granny Liu, and her words hit the nail on the head. Granny Liu had always been a tyrant at home, never having to do any work. But ever since Widow Wang came into the house, Granny Liu had been doing all the housework.

Widow Wang was good at coaxing people, and with Lu Yunping protecting her, Granny Liu couldn't order her around. As a result, the two children left behind by Zhou Xiangxing were in trouble.

They were bossed around every day; after Granny Liu started ordering them around, Widow Wang also wanted to order them around.

Hearing this, Granny Liu got angry and went up to fight Aunt Zhao, but was stopped by everyone. Knowing that these people wouldn't help her, she spat on the ground, "I'm not going to lower myself to your level, you bunch of short-sighted people. Wait until my son passes the imperial examination, and you won't even have time to cry."

Granny Liu turned and left. Those who were on good terms with her quickly went up to her to flatter her and comfort her, saying, "Old sister, you don't need to argue with them. You're going to be an official's wife in the future. Arguing with them would lower your status."

"You understand me so well. Come on, let's go to my house. My Zhou'er is so filial. The young lady from town gave him some pastries, but he couldn't bear to eat them himself. He insisted on bringing them back for me to try first."

"No wonder those people are blind, and they don't have your good fortune."

Wei Yuanguang had heard most of the news from the village and finally understood the whole story. He skipped dinner and took his eldest son to Liujia Village.

"Honey, if you really get involved in that Liujia Village matter, won't it cause trouble for our family?"

"No, I'll just go see if I can help. Old Liu and I are both village chiefs and we have a good relationship. If he gets arrested, his family will be in chaos without its leader."

"Boss, take good care of your dad. Take these two steamed buns with you and eat them on the way."

The father and son arrived at Liujia Village and went to Liu Maoquan's house. The door was closed. He knocked on the door, and after a while, footsteps came from inside. "Who is it?"

"It's me, the village chief of Bainiwan."

The door creaked open. "Uncle Wei, what brings you here? Come in and let's talk."

Wei Yuanguang followed the man to the main room and sat down. "I heard your father was arrested by the officials. I came to see if I could help in any way."

"Uncle Wei, you know everything." Liu Hongyu looked distressed.

"Yes, everyone in my village saw it, and now everyone in Bainiwan knows about it."

Where is your mother?

"Mother and my second brother went to the county town to find someone to plead for Father's life."

"Isn't your clan chief still alive? What are his plans?"

"We caught the silver thief today. The official said that if we send him to the county government, the accomplices will be given a lighter punishment. So tomorrow the clan chief will take people to the government office."

"Take me to see your clan chief. I'll go with you tomorrow. The more people there are, the more help we can get them out sooner, so they don't suffer in prison."

Liu Hongyu stood up and knelt down with a thud. "Thank you so much, Uncle Wei, for your righteous help. I will never forget your kindness."

"Don't say anything. Your father and I have been old buddies for a long time. It's good to do our part."

Liu Hongyu took Wei Yuanguang to the clan chief's house. "Old clan chief, how are you feeling?"

The lighting was dim, and the clan chief didn't immediately recognize Wei Yuanguang. "Who are you?"

"Wei Yuanguang, the village chief of Bainiwan Village."

"Village Chief Wei, please have a seat. What brings you here so late?"

"I already know about what happened in Liujia Village. Our two villages are so close and we often visit each other. I just came to see if I can help."

"Thank you very much, Village Chief Wei. Your kindness is very comforting. If you are not busy, it would be great if you could help me. You often deal with the government and know more people than I do."

"On behalf of Maoquan and the others, I thank you."

"We'll head to the county town early tomorrow morning; let's meet at the fork in the road."

"Okay, I'll head home now. See you tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Grandpa Hu drove his oxcart and waited at the village entrance. The clan chief had chartered the oxcart for him. The clan chief, along with his son and grandson, and two young men from the village, escorted Gou Sheng to the village entrance, dumped him directly onto the oxcart, and stood at the crossroads waiting for Village Chief Wei.

Before Village Chief Wei could even win, Huang Lanhua and Master Liu caught up with him. "Clan Chief, we'll go to the yamen with you too. Our Qingshan can't have any more accidents, otherwise how are we supposed to live? I'm already so old, I can't afford to lose one grandson after another."

"Qingshan committed a crime, don't you bear any responsibility? Do you think you can get the magistrate to release him just because you went there?"

"I know that Qingshan was wrong to do that to his second uncle. The child was just angry and lost his mind. He has always been honest and upright and has no bad intentions."

I'll go and beg Da Wang. After all, Qingshan is his nephew, and he's still young. If he gets stigmatized, the Liu family is finished. The Liu family's descendants will be looked down upon, and how will the girls and boys in the family ever find husbands?"

Huang Lanhua looked at the clan leader with a sorrowful expression, "Let's go and beg our second brother. We're all blood relatives; there's no grudge that can't be resolved."
