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

"April is here, and this child is so blessed. I'm old and useless now; I can't even hold the child anymore."

How is your mother now?

"Grandma, my mother is still unconscious, and the doctors in the county town are treating her every day."

"Grandma, I'm going to the county town in a few days. My family has an oxcart; I'll take you there to get your leg checked out, as I mentioned before. Grandpa Chief, you'll come with Grandma."

"Child, I'm content with your filial piety. I've had this leg pain for twenty or thirty years. I've seen doctors before, but medicine and acupuncture didn't work. We wasted money and almost ruined the family."

Now that I'm this old, every extra day I live is a blessing from God.

"Grandma, how old are you?"

"You're teasing your grandma, aren't you? I'm almost 50, and I'm content to have lived to this age."

"Grandma, you're not even 50 yet, you're in your prime!"

The clan chief and the old lady were amused by her words. "This girl always knows how to make me happy." The clan chief was also very happy. She hadn't seen her husband laugh like that in a long time, and now it seemed like a long time ago.

"Grandma, I heard from my mother that if you hadn't taken out the money to buy ginseng slices, my mother and my two younger sisters would have all died."

"You and Grandpa Clan Chief have taken great care of my uncle's family. Since I've recognized my second aunt as my mother, this is my way of repaying your kindness."

"Your second uncle and his wife are good people, how can we stand by and watch them be bullied?"

You're a grateful child, Grandma thanks you. Really, you don't need to look anymore, it's useless.

"It didn't work before because I hadn't met a good doctor. I know a doctor at Huichuntang in the county. Her medical skills are excellent. Even if she can't cure you, she can help relieve your pain."

Don't worry about the money. I know the doctor well, he won't ask for more than he should pay.

The clan chief was moved. He saw his wife suffering from illness every day, especially the pain she endured at night, and his heart ached. But he was powerless to help her and could not share her burden at all.

I used to be able to walk, but now I can't even get out of bed or walk.

He looked at his wife sitting on the bed, made up his mind, and said, "Girl, Grandpa will listen to you and go to the county town with you to see her one more time. Chengcheng will be back this time, and this will put my mind at ease."

"Old man..."

"Don't say anything more, it's settled then."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll call you when I leave."

Liu Siyue carried the child home and handed the child to the two younger children. "Ruyue and Ruxing, take good care of your little niece. I'm going to help Ruxue cook." She took out two lollipops from her pocket and handed them to the two children. "Eat them yourselves. Don't feed them to Yao'er."

"Okay, cousin, we promise we won't feed it to her." The two girls unwrapped the candy and found two little bunnies inside. They couldn't bear to eat them because they were so cute.

Ruxing said to Ruyue, "Fourth Sister, let's eat your candy first, and then we can eat mine tomorrow. That way, we'll not only have candy to eat, but we can also see the little rabbit more often."

Ruyue thought about it and realized that her sister was right. The two sisters shared a piece of candy, taking turns licking it, their eyes full of smiles.

Yao'er lay on the bed, waving her arms and legs excitedly. After a while, she turned over and looked at them. "Yao'er, it's not that your aunt is reluctant to let you eat, it's that your mother won't let you eat. When you grow up, your aunt will earn money to buy you candy."

Ru Xue was chopping vegetables, Liu Dawang was plucking chicken feathers, and Liu Ruyun was tending the fire. This was the scene she saw when she went in.

"Cousin, go back and rest. Don't reopen your wound."

"It's alright, I don't need much strength to start a fire."

"Ru Xue, what are your plans for these dishes?"

"Make a soup with pheasant and mushrooms, braise the fish, cook half of the duck like this, stir-fry it with scallions, ginger and garlic, and add the chili peppers you gave me last time. Steam the fish, stir-fry some pork and cabbage, and make two cold dishes. That's enough."

"Hmm, not bad, quite a feast."

Cousin, do you know where I can get sauerkraut?

"We have some at home, but it's only been soaking for a short time and hasn't absorbed the flavor yet. If you want some, I can go ask Aunt Yu for some; her sauerkraut is soaked earlier."

Ru Xue put down the knife in her hand. "Big sister, you sit down, I'll go." She picked up the bowl and went out, and returned a moment later with a full bowl of pickled cabbage.

Liu Siyue smelled it and found it really tangy. She tore off a piece and ate it. "Mmm, it's delicious, even better than pickled cabbage."

"What kind of pickled cabbage is 'Old Altar Pickled Cabbage'?"

How should we explain this? "Old-fashioned pickled cabbage is pickled cabbage that has been pickled in a large jar for a long time."

"I'll cook the fish tonight. I'll make you all a sauerkraut fish dish. Wow, just thinking about it makes my mouth water." Liu Siyue made a drooling face, which amused everyone.

Liu Siyue doesn't know how to cook other dishes, but sauerkraut fish is the simplest, and she can make it all by herself.

"Ru Xue, before dinner is served, fill a bowl with chicken soup and take it to Aunt Yu."

"OK."

Liu Ruyun felt that her cousin was very thoughtful in doing things. Although she was young, she had experienced a lot.

It was completely dark by then, and the workers had all finished work. Liu Siyue and the others were having their dinner.

Liu Dawang gestured for Chef Chang and the others to sit down, and the dishes were brought to the table one by one. Everyone couldn't help but sniff, "Why does this food smell sour?"

"It should be sour, this dish is called sauerkraut fish, everyone should try it."

"Mmm, not bad, not bad at all. This fish with pickled cabbage is absolutely amazing." Everyone praised the pickled cabbage fish dish.

After everyone finished eating, Liu Siyue asked, "Master Chang, how much longer will it take to finish building my house?"

"At the latest, it will be no later than the fifth day of next month, which is only five or six days. The last few days will be for wrapping up the work."

By the way, I helped pay for the well. It was originally agreed to be 15 taels of silver. Usually, you can find water after digging seven or eight meters, but the water layer in your area is too deep, so we had to dig an extra four meters before we found water.

As is customary, after 8 meters, an extra tael is charged for each additional meter dug; if no water is found, no charge is charged.

I was acquainted with the well-drilling master; the original price was 19 taels of silver, but he only charged me 18 taels.

"Thank you, Master Chang. I'll make it up for you in a bit."

"Master Chang, I'd like to order a batch of furniture. I wonder if any of the carpenters in this yard know how to make furniture?"

"Yes, those craftsmen are all very skilled. They can definitely make furniture. Should I call them over so you can have a chat?"

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Second Uncle, give Master Chang the 18 taels of silver to make up for it.

"Uncle Tian, ​​have Auntie and the others gone to pick hawthorn berries yet?"

"We've picked them all. The three of us have been making several trips a day. You can let your aunt and the others continue picking. Once we've finished the housewarming feast, we'll start a new business."

"Okay, I'll head back now if there's nothing else."

"Uncle Youtian, you don't need to come to work tomorrow. Help Auntie pick more hawthorns, I'm afraid we won't have enough."

"Organize your family's medicinal herbs and let Hongyu know so they can prepare as well. I'll help you sell them in a few days."

"it is good."

"Second Uncle, the clan chief's family is having a hard time. Ask Uncle Fusheng and the others if they want to pick red berries. I'll buy them for 3 catties for 1 coin. I'll take as many as they pick."

Tell them, we only want the good stuff, not the bad.

"Okay, I'll go ask right away."

"Father, I'll go with you." Ruxue quickly got up and followed.

Master Chang arrived with four carpenters. "You all talk, I'll head back now."

"Master craftsmen, I heard from Master Chang that you are skilled at making furniture, and I would like to have you make some furniture for me."

I drew these furniture blueprints myself, and they are different from the styles you have made before.

If you're interested, we can cooperate to open a furniture store.

"Let us see the blueprints first."

Liu Siyue first showed them two drawings, and after looking at them, they all praised the design highly.

"How would you like to propose a collaboration?"
