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

Liu Siyue drove the oxcart back home from town and found the clan chief sitting in the main room.

"Grandpa Chief, you've arrived."

"Yes, the girl is back."

I've come to tell you something. All the compensation money from the villagers has been collected, and I've given it to your second uncle.

Some of the cloth was returned, and some had already been used to make clothes. The clothes and blankets your family took have also been used and worn by them.

"Grandpa Clan Chief, all the quilts and clothes in our house are newly made, so we won't accept the money. However, you should compensate us for the clothes and quilts at their original price."

I'll give them five more days. If I don't receive the compensation after five days, I'll have to go back to the county magistrate.

"Okay, I will pass on your message to them."

The second thing I mentioned is that you can't hand over those four people from the Huang family to the authorities. There's an unwritten rule in the villages around here that if someone from another village commits a crime in this village, they have to inform the village chief first, and then the villages will negotiate a solution.

If we directly hand over the matter to the officials, these two villages will become enemies, and it will be difficult to handle any future problems.

Grandpa sent someone to invite the village chief without consulting you.

"Grandpa Chief, I understand all of this. I was just trying to scare them and teach them a lesson. I was originally planning to ask you to handle this matter."

I'm not the kind of person who holds a grudge even when I'm in the right.

"Good, good, good. The girl is indeed sensible and considerate of the big picture."

Less than half an hour after Liu Siyue arrived home, the village chief of Huangjia Village arrived with several clansmen.

The village chief of Huangjia Village immediately apologized upon arrival, saying, "Chief Liu, I'm so sorry. These troublemakers in the village have caused you so much trouble."

"To be honest with you, Village Chief Huang, they were planning to hand them over to the authorities, but I stopped them."

They were really outrageous. Not only did they curse at people at the door, but they also barged into the house, ready to beat people up.

Fortunately, Da Wang's family had relatives with them this time; otherwise, there would have been a huge mess.

"Your Huangjia Village is probably in for a rough time, and Village Chief Huang will also be implicated."

"Thank you, Chief Liu. When I return, I will definitely deal with them severely according to the clan rules. I will give the people of Huangjia Village an explanation, and I will also give you an explanation."

As he spoke, Village Chief Huang took out one tael of silver and placed it on the table. "Please don't think this one tael of silver is too little. Consider it an apology to them. I'll take the person back with me."

"They're all injured; you'll probably have to hire an oxcart to take them back."

"We've brought our oxcarts, so we've parked them outside."

"Dawang, take Village Chief Huang and the others to retrieve the people."

As soon as the door opened, the three Huang brothers burst into tears upon seeing Village Chief Huang, finally seeing their family again.

"Village chief, you've finally arrived! Please save us! We don't want to be handed over to the authorities, we don't want to go to jail..."

"Now you know fear? Where were you before? Cui, you're already so old, and your son is so immature, yet you join in their foolishness. You're truly shameful."

"Village chief, clan chief, clan uncle, we know we were wrong, and we will never do it again. Please help us plead for mercy!"

"It's all my older sister's fault. She's the one who sent us to seek justice and compensation for her."

"A bunch of brainless idiots. The magistrate has already handed down the sentence, what more compensation do you want? What more justice do you want?"

We arrived just in time and managed to save you by saying all the right things, but we had to pay them one or two taels of silver in compensation, which you have to return to me when you get back.

"When we return, you will be severely punished according to the clan rules. Do you accept that?"

"Village chief, we'll give you the silver when we get back. We accept the punishment."

The village chief left with the mother and her three younger brothers. Huang Lanhua's best friend, Huang Qiu Kui, quickly informed her, "Lanhua, the village chief and clan head of Huangjia Village have arrived. They've taken your mother and three younger brothers away. The matter should be over now, you can rest assured."

"Thank you, okra!"

"No need to thank me. We're from the same village, and we're even sisters from the same clan. If I don't help you, who will?"

Huang Lanhua and Huang Qiu Kui are cousins, but Huang Lanhua lives a better life than Huang Qiu Kui, which makes Huang Qiu Kui very jealous. Every time she goes back to her parents' home, her mother compares her to Wang Lanhua, saying that Huang Lanhua brought something back to her parents' home, while Huang Lanhua does nothing to help her parents' home.

Whenever Huang Qiu Kui heard these things, she hated Huang Lan Hua to the core, and she felt an immense sense of satisfaction at seeing Huang Lan Hua in distress.

After Liu Siyue finished dealing with these matters, she went to find four carpenters.

"Lady Liu, have you come to see us for something?"

"I really do need your help with something."

I need to make a few molds. Please make them for us as quickly as possible, so you don't work for free; we're paying for them.

Liu Siyue handed the blueprints to them. The group took the blueprints and saw that they were all small molds. They were not difficult to make, but they would take some time.

"It's possible, it just takes some effort. We'll try to get it done for you when the house is finished."

This needs to be done at night; we don't have time during the day. Give us a few oil lamps, and we'll do it in your empty house.

"No problem, it's nothing."

The inner residence of the county government office.

The magistrate's wife, Wang Yalan, waited and waited for Liu Siyue, but he still didn't come. The case had been closed for several days. Could it be that he had changed his mind and wasn't coming?

"Madam, given Lady Liu's temperament, she would definitely come if she agreed. Her absence must mean something went wrong. This old servant will go to the gatehouse to inquire." Wang Yalan nodded in agreement.

Granny Liu found the gatekeeper. "Su An, has Lady Liu Siyue come by these past few days?"

Su An lowered her head and avoided looking at Liu Mama.

Seeing his expression, Granny Liu knew something was amiss. "Su An, what exactly happened? If you don't tell me, I'll report it to Madam as truthfully as possible."

Su An knelt down with a thud, her face filled with panic and unease. "Granny Liu, please, help me! I really didn't mean to."

"What exactly happened? How can I help you if you don't tell me?"

Su An then recounted what had happened that day, "Granny Liu, that's how it happened. By the time I realized what had happened, the person had already gone far away. I chased after them for a while but couldn't catch up."

"You mean Lady Liu came by that afternoon the day the trial ended?"

"Yes."

"What's wrong with you! Why didn't you say so earlier? You've been in the manor for several years now, how come you don't even know this basic etiquette?"

I will tell Madam the truth about this matter and try my best to put in a good word for you. As for how Madam wants to punish you, I can't do anything about it.

You! You've made similar mistakes before, and Madam forgave you, but this time... sigh~

Granny Liu turned and left. Su An slapped herself hard several times. She had only been eating well for a few days and she already knew who she was!

Granny Liu met with the madam with a grim expression. "Madam, actually, Madam Liu came over in the afternoon after the case was over, but she had a little unpleasantness with Su An, so she left."

"What exactly happened?" After Liu Mama recounted the events, Madam Su was furious. "That Su An, he's really forgotten the pain once the wound has healed."

Madam Su turned and went into the bedroom, took out a contract of indenture and handed it to Granny Liu, "Sell this person and buy a clever and sensible one back."

Liu Mama knew that the madam was angry, and she had originally planned to say a few nice words to Su An, but now she didn't dare to.

That evening, Wang Yalan told Lord Su about it, "Master, I'd like to take Zhi'er to Liujia Village tomorrow."

"Madam, there's no need to rush. Lady Liu has a house in the county town. Let Granny Liu go and inquire tomorrow. If Lady Liu isn't there, it's not too late for you to go then."

"Sir, why didn't you say so sooner!"

"I met Lady Liu a long time ago, but I didn't know she was the person we were looking for. I only recognized her that day in court."

Since the lady said she had already made an appointment with her, I didn't mention it.

I had already told my wife about my acquaintance with Lady Liu.

Madam Su knew none of this mattered. She didn't know if Lady Liu was still in the county town, or if she would have any opinions about them. It's said that the master is just as good as the servant.
