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

When Feng's mother saw these people, she recognized them as the village's usual cunning and sly people who couldn't stand being taken advantage of, as well as the son of her stepmother, with whom she had never interacted before.

Everyone pushed him forward to ask, "Sister-in-law, do you really grow hawthorn berries?"

The villagers asked me to inquire why your family was accepting this, and whether you had the money to pay for it.

"Didn't the village chief explain it to you clearly? If you believe it, then go ahead and pick them. If you don't believe it, then you don't have to pick them. Nobody is forcing you."

"I won't talk to you anymore, I have things to do at home. If you need anything, you can find the village chief."

As soon as Feng's mother closed the door, the people outside started cursing, "So poor they have to pawn their pants, what are you pretending to be so important? What else do you have in your family besides a lot of bachelors?"

I wonder if any silly person went to pick the fruit, hahaha..." Everyone laughed and left.

Mother Feng listened to their words and thought, "Let them say what they want. Making money is the most important thing. They'll regret it later."

When the two sisters-in-law saw their mother return, they quickly went to greet her, "Mother, tell us quickly what happened at your little sister's house yesterday, how is she now? Where did all these things come from?"

Mother Feng rolled her eyes at her eldest daughter-in-law, "Look at you, so eager! You're only pretending to care about your younger sister; you're really just eyeing these things!"

"Mother, look at what you're saying! It's true that I care about my little sister, and it's also true that I'm envious of these things. I've never seen so many good things before!"

Mother Feng sighed, "Your younger sister's family is doing quite well now, but Yuzhen is injured and still unconscious, and is receiving treatment in the county town."

"What? My little sister is injured and unconscious? Mother, when are we going to the county town to see her?"

"No need to go. You won't see anyone there. Just wait at home. Da Wang will let us know when your little sister wakes up."

"Okay, we'll listen to Mother."

I haven't seen my younger sister for years, and I miss her a lot.

The parents were quite satisfied with their two daughters-in-law. Although the eldest daughter-in-law was a bit shrewish, she was kind-hearted, hardworking, and capable, and she and their eldest son complemented each other perfectly. The second daughter-in-law was a bit introverted, but she was obedient, filial, sensible, and capable, and she and her husband were a perfect match.

"These things were given to you by your niece, April. Don't ask who April is. I don't have time to tell you now. Ask your men when you get home tonight."

"I'll treat you all to a good meal today. Tonight, I'll cook a big pot of rice so everyone can eat their fill. I'll also cut off three pounds of meat and pick some cabbage from the field. Tonight, we'll have stewed cabbage with meat."

"Okay, Mom! We'll make sure the food is delicious and the children have a good meal. They'll be so happy!"

"I don't plan to eat this white rice. When the price at the grain store in town drops, we'll sell it and buy some brown rice so we can eat it for a longer period and try to make sure everyone can have brown rice porridge every day."

The remaining meat was smoked and air-dried, to be saved for everyone to enjoy later.

"Take a pound of brown sugar each, and a pound of red dates each. Also, take some pastries and candies. I'm sorry you've suffered so much since you married into the Feng family."

"Mother, although our family's life is a bit tough, you never make things difficult for us. We are so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law like you. How could we feel that it's tough?"

Mother Feng laughed heartily, "You're so good at making me happy, you're so good at making me happy. Our family finds joy even in hardship."

"Eldest brother, second brother, before it gets dark, go to your in-laws' house and let them pick the red fruit. It's not fair that outsiders make all the money."

The sister-in-law's eyes lit up, and she looked at Feng's mother at the same time.

"Why are you two looking at me like that? If you want to go, come along. Mom will cook dinner."

Take all the things we gave you back to your own rooms. Don't go back to your parents' house empty-handed.

The two sisters-in-law were moved to tears. "Mother, thank you."

After giving the two men some things, Da Gang and Da Qiang went back to their wives' parents' home with their wives.

"Old man, move the rest of these things to our house. After this busy period, I'll get my two daughters-in-law to make winter clothes for everyone."

It was completely dark when the children returned home. Da Gang and Da Qiang each brought back a basket of vegetables from their in-laws' house.

"Mother, when did you get back? How is my sister?"

"Grandma, how are Aunt's family?"

"We got back in the late afternoon, and your aunt and the others are all fine!"

"Alright, everyone hurry up and wash up, it's time to eat."

The second wife's youngest son sniffed, "Why does it smell so good? I smell meat!"

Mother Feng laughed heartily, "Look at this greedy little cat, it can even smell this." "I brought back some good things from your aunt's house today. Grandma made some delicious food for you all. You can all eat your fill today."

"Is Grandma real? Does she have meat on her bones?"

"Today we're having white rice with pork stewed with cabbage, all you can eat!"

When he arrived at the kitchen, his eldest and second sons' wives had already set the food on the table.

Everyone was too busy eating to talk, and they started eating as soon as they finished their bowls. Only after they finished eating did they have time to talk. "The food is so delicious, it's like celebrating the New Year, even better than the New Year!"

"Are you full? If not, there's more in the pot, help yourself."

"That's really plenty!"

So everyone ate to their heart's content, and each person ate three large bowls of rice before they were full.

Their eating habits made Mrs. Feng's eyes widen in disbelief. "My goodness! You brats can really eat! At this rate, you could eat a mountain of gold out of the house!"

"Grandma, we've eaten up the gold mountain, but we'll earn another one for you."

"loquacious!"

Mother Feng cleared her throat and said, "Everyone has finished eating. I have something to tell you. The first thing is: tomorrow our whole family will go to the mountain to pick hawthorns, and at the same time, we will buy hawthorns picked by the villagers."

The second thing is: Your niece, April, could we arrange for two members of our family to learn carpentry? Fourth, fifth, and sixth sons, what do you three think?

"Mother, why are you picking so many red berries? Why are you also buying them from the villagers? Who is April? My sister's child isn't named April, is he?" The fourth brother, Feng Dazhi, asked three questions in a row.

"What do you want to know? Ask your older brothers later and let them tell you. I don't have time right now."

Seeing that their mother was unwilling to talk about it, they stopped asking and continued the conversation. "Mother, I'm too old to learn anymore. I wouldn't be able to learn anyway, so I'll let my nephews learn," the fourth brother said. The fifth and sixth brothers quickly chimed in, "We're the same as our third brother."

Looking at her six grandsons, Feng's mother said, "Mother, we, the second branch of the family, will send Liu Lang to study."

The wife quickly added, "Mother, our eldest son is going to learn a trade. He told me before that he wanted to learn a skill."

Mother Feng still asked Erlang and Liulang, "Erlang and Liulang, do you both like learning carpentry? If you want to learn, then we will; if you don't want to learn, then we won't. Don't force yourselves."

Erlang quickly said, "Grandma, I like doing woodworking, I like being a carpenter."

Liu Lang remained silent, head bowed. "Liu Lang, your grandmother is asking you a question. Are you mute?"

"Grandma, I... I don't want to study. I want to be a soldier and fight, to become a great general."

Third Brother likes woodworking; he enjoys making this and that all the time. Let Third Brother do it!

"Sanlang, what do you think?"

"If Sixth Brother really doesn't want to go, then I will go."

"If you've made your decision and have no objections, then next time you go to deliver the fruit, Erlang and Sanlang can go with you. Once they're there, they won't come back; they can directly become your apprentices and learn your skills."

"When you two have some free time, make a couple of sets of clothes for the children and give them some to change into."

That's how it was settled.
