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

Liu Siyue could tell that this family was honest and kind, and had no intention of taking advantage of her. She could also tell that they were struggling financially, with their clothes patched upon patched, and each person was thin and malnourished.

They were struggling to make ends meet, yet they were still willing to spend 20 coins to travel a long distance to see their daughter, which shows how much they cared about her.

Liu Siyue urged again, "Grandma and Grandpa, why don't you stay here tonight and have a good chat?"

Liu Siyue gave the others a wink, and the sisters joined in trying to persuade them to stay. Mother Feng looked at her husband, "Old man, what do you think?"

"The children insisted that we stay the night, so we'll head back first thing tomorrow morning."

"Second Uncle, take Grandma and Grandpa to our house and the fields for a look."

Liu Dawang left with his men, and Liu Siyue and the others went back to clean up the dishes.

"Big sister, I don't think Grandma's family is doing well either."

"My maternal grandmother's family was large, and they lived a harder life than we had before. After my mother gave birth to two younger sisters, she fell ill and never recovered. Despite their difficult circumstances, they often helped us out, and if they had anything good, they would have my uncles send it over to nourish my mother."

Later, their lives got worse and worse, so they stopped coming.

My maternal grandmother's family were all very kind. Although my maternal aunts were not happy with my grandmother's actions, they did not make a big deal out of it. They just felt sorry for my younger cousins.

My fourth, fifth, and sixth uncles are still unmarried because their families are too poor!

Liu Siyue hummed in agreement. "The reason I insisted on keeping Grandma and the others here was to give them something to take back. Just based on their feelings for Mother, it's worth it."

Thinking back to before I was sold, when you were still in the old house, Mother often got scolded by Madam Huang for protecting me. Sigh! How can the difference between people be so vast!

"Sister, I'm going to town to buy some things now. I'm afraid they won't accept them if I buy them tomorrow."

"Okay, how about letting Ruxue go with you?"

"No need, I can manage on my own."

When Liu Siyue arrived in town, she went to the cloth shop and bought 20 bolts of coarse cotton cloth and 50 jin of cotton. When the shopkeeper saw that she had bought so much, he gave her half a bag of scraps of cloth, as well as some needles and thread.

"Shopkeeper, I'll leave all the things I bought here with you and pick them up first thing tomorrow morning, is that alright?"

No problem, I'll give you a receipt so you can rest assured.

"I trust you, sir. You don't seem like the kind of person who does one-off business. You're very honest and straightforward."

"Please continue to support my business in the future."

"That's natural."

Liu Siyue took the receipt and left. She bought 200 jin of brown rice at the grain shop and went home. On the way, she bought several large bamboo baskets.

When she arrived at a place not far from the village entrance, she used her mind to take out 500 catties of rice from her space. She packed it all in bags she bought from the general store. She also packed a large bag of various snacks and candies, 50 catties of pork, 5 catties each of red dates and brown sugar, and 100 eggs, and put them all into a bamboo basket.

For dinner, I got a whole chicken, sea bass, pork belly, and ribs from the supermarket; I'll cook a whole meal tonight.

Once the carriage curtain is drawn, no one knows what's inside.

Go home, park the oxcart, untie the ox, and tie it to the shed.

The things can be left in the carriage; there's no need to take them down. Now that there's a courtyard wall, they won't be stolen even if the gate is closed at night. When my second uncle comes back later, I'll bring down three bags of rice for myself.

"Cousin, I'm back! Did you buy everything?"

"I've bought everything, it's in the car, I'll take it down, I'll have to move it tomorrow."

Tomorrow, my second uncle and I will take them to town; there are still some things we haven't brought back from there.

What did you buy?

When Liu Siyue said this, Liu Ruyun and Ruxue were dumbfounded. "Siyue, this is too generous. If the town could buy this, you would bring the whole town back."

"Look, these are exactly what they need."

Eating well will improve your health and make you less prone to illness.

Winter is coming soon, and they should make some winter clothes.

You said your maternal grandmother's family is large, but you didn't specify, so I'll assume 20 people.

"There are no more than 20 people, you're really good at counting."

Liu Dawang showed them the houses under construction and then took them to the wasteland he had bought in April, where several families were still working hard.

Upon seeing Liu Dawang arrive, they quickly greeted him, "Dawang, Uncle Dawang, Brother..."

"We've done more than half of the work now, and we should be able to clear the land in less than half a month."

We've already chopped up this firewood; it's all from miscellaneous trees growing in the ground, plus tree roots we dug out.

"Once your yard is finished, we'll help you haul the firewood back. Everyone hasn't started collecting firewood yet, and it wouldn't be safe to leave it here if we did."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"This is what we should do. We are extremely grateful that you didn't make us lose our jobs."

After Liu Siyue returned, she dismissed all the people in the village who were in charge of building the houses. They were terrified for a long time, fearing that they would not be allowed to work either, and they prayed to God every day.

Mrs. Feng exclaimed, "That girl, April, is so capable for such a young age; many men can't even compare!"

"Mother, please stop talking. Aren't you implying that we're all bad? None of us have April's abilities."

"It's good that you know this, but people still need to be literate and learn to understand principles."

"Mother is right. I will work hard and try my best to enable your great-grandson to read and write."

"We don't know if your father and I will live to see that day."

"Da Wang, what are your thoughts on the marriages of these girls? They're all of marriageable age, and if you don't find someone soon, they'll become old maids."

Especially like clouds!

"We are also worried because they are both very stubborn and refuse to get married."

No one wanted to come to our house to propose marriage; they thought we were a burden.

Later, when he returned in April, he reassured them, saying that their lives were getting better and better and they wouldn't have to worry about finding good husbands.

"What April said makes sense. Your family is well-known in Lingshui. Everyone knows that your family has 130 taels of silver."

"Dawang, you'd better keep your money safe, lest thieves set their sights on it."

"We need to settle the wages with the workers in the next couple of days, and that's it."

Liu Dawang led them home to see the Bull Demon King, saying, "Let me show you my bull."

"Great, my brother-in-law's family bought a cow too."

Feng Dagang couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Such a big blue ox! It looks really powerful and capable."

Liu Dawang looked smug. "My ox is good, isn't it? It's a wild ox I bought in the county town in April. Nobody dared to buy this ox. I bought it for 15 taels of silver in April. What a bargain!"

The key is that this cow is very intelligent; strangers can't get close to it at all.

Its name is Bull Demon King, a name given in April. Liu Dawang chuckled.

"The ox lives up to its name; the name itself sounds majestic."

Liu Siyue and the others were already busy in the kitchen.

After resting for a while, Feng's mother said, "Dawang, we've been here for so long, but we haven't seen April's baby or heard him cry once."

"The child is in that room, and Ruyue and Ruxing basically play with her. That child is very easy to take care of; once she's full, she doesn't cry or fuss."

"She looks like a caring and considerate daughter who knows how to cherish her mother. I'll go check on her."

A moment later, Madam Feng carried Yao'er to the main room. "Look at her, how adorable she is! She looks just like a New Year's picture doll."

"Come here, let Grandpa take a look."

"Let your uncle take a look." She looks like a fairy from heaven, how can she be so beautiful? Who wouldn't want a daughter like that?

"Where are Ru Yun and the others?"

"Grandma, my older sister and the others went to cook. They said they're going to make you something delicious."

When Feng's mother heard that another delicious meal was being prepared, she immediately became agitated. It was too extravagant, and she had to persuade her to stop.
