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

After having lunch at the county government office, Liu Siyue left in the late afternoon. Madam Su had prepared many gifts for her, including several precious medicinal herbs intended for Madam Feng. "Madam Su, these are far too valuable; I cannot accept them!"

"Madam Liu, please don't be so polite. Old Madam Liu is unwell and needs these things, so please don't refuse."

Liu Siyue thanked Madam Su again and left with Qingwu.

Upon returning home, the doorman quickly greeted Liu Siyue, "Madam, you're back! This morning, Mrs. Xu from next door came over and brought many gifts."

"Has the person left yet?"

"When she saw that Madam Yun was not there, she was too busy to greet her and left after sitting for a while."

Ningxiang greeted her with a joyful expression, "Madam, you're back! Good news! The old lady has regained her memory. She remembers everything and says she wants to go back to the village."

Upon hearing this, Liu Siyue couldn't help but praise the efficacy of the spiritual spring water, calling it a truly all-powerful divine water!

"Oh, this is truly a joyous occasion." She hurried to Madam Feng's room, where Madam Feng was talking to Ruyu, who was telling her about recent events.

As Liu Siyue entered, Madam Feng's eyes welled with tears. "Siyue, my good child, you've worked so hard!"

"Mother, you remember everything!"

"Yes, I remember everything. Last night, after Mother went to sleep, she had a long dream, and when she woke up this morning, she remembered everything."

"I thought Mother only remembered Yao'er and had forgotten about us sisters."

"You brat, competing for attention with a baby, aren't you ashamed?"

"Mother, please treat me well. Once we go home, I won't be able to compete with Yao'er."

"You have no idea how worried I was while Mother was in a coma. You have to make it up to me." She buried her head in Madam Feng's arms, just like that.

Mrs. Feng stroked her head, and every time this happened, she would think of her mother, because her mother also liked to stroke her head like this, and she would always look like she was enjoying it. Unfortunately, she could no longer feel her mother's tenderness.

"In April, Mother wanted to go home."

"Okay, let's go home first thing tomorrow morning."

Oh, by the way, Mom, Grandma and Grandpa, and my two uncles came to visit us a few days ago. We told them about our family situation.

Grandma wanted to visit you, but I didn't let her. I know that Grandma's family is not doing well. I think they are nice people, so without my mother's permission, I took the initiative to be filial to them and bought them some things so they wouldn't go hungry.

"I hope Mother won't blame me!"

"My good daughter, I'm so grateful to you, how could I blame you? Your maternal family has had a hard life, and they've suffered a lot because of me."

"Mom, you're so biased! You only love my cousin and not me! Humph! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Ru Yu pretended to be angry and turned her back.

"My dear child, how could I not love you? I know you've been taking care of me all these days, and it's been very hard on you. Come here and let me hug you."

Ruyu turned her face away with a grin and buried her head in Feng's arms. Liu Siyue suddenly lifted her head and said, "Oh dear, Ruyu, you're almost suffocating me! The two sisters are just bickering." Watching the two sisters playfully bicker, Feng felt as if sunshine had entered her heart, making her feel so warm.

"Mom, Grandma and the others should be coming in the next day or two. Think about what else you need to buy, and what else you need to get for the house?"

"Mother doesn't need anything, just..."

"What is it, Mother? Just say what you want to say."

"I've never made a single garment for your maternal grandparents in all my years. I want to buy some fabric and sew winter clothes for them myself."

"Mom, that's perfect. We need to redo our winter clothes. Those clothes were stolen and got all dirty, so I didn't want them and made them pay me back."

Let's buy more fabric so we can sew our own winter clothes.

"It's still early, I'll take you for a stroll in the streets." Madam Feng nodded in agreement.

"Ningxiang, make some good food for dinner. We'll go back to the village tomorrow, so let's celebrate with everyone today that the old lady has fully recovered."

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

Madam Feng didn't know what Liu Siyue's relationship was with the people here. They were very respectful to her, and since Siyue didn't say, she wouldn't ask. The child was old enough to know, and there must be a reason why she wouldn't say. Asking too much would only make the child uncomfortable.

"Qingwu, drop us off at the street corner in a bit. I'll take my mother and little sister for a stroll."

The carriage stopped shortly afterward, and Qingwu called out from outside, "Madam, Old Madam, Third Miss, we've arrived at the street corner."

Liu Siyue lifted the carriage curtain, and Qingwu had already placed the horse benches. She reached out and helped them down one by one.

"Qingwu, you stay behind and get the things later. Mother, Ruyu, let's go."

"Mom, look, there's a porcelain shop over there. We need to replace our bowls and chopsticks. The new house is all built, so we have to get new ones. Our bowls and chopsticks are too old, and we're embarrassed to use them when guests come over."

"Okay, let's go take a look."

"The group went into the shop. Mother, please pick out some nice bowls and plates for our family."

Feng took a liking to something, but hesitated after asking the price. It was too expensive. "In April, everything here is too expensive. We country folk don't need such expensive things. Let's go to the general store and see where things are cheaper."

"Mom, what's wrong with being from the countryside? Who says country folk can't afford nice things? Buy a good set of tableware, and meals will taste even better."

The shop assistant smiled and agreed, "What this lady says makes sense. If you can afford it, you should buy some good tableware. If you use it carefully, it can last a lifetime."

It's very impressive to take this out when guests come over.

Madam Feng blushed slightly with embarrassment. Liu Siyue whispered something in Madam Feng's ear, and Madam Feng was surprised to hear it. "Is what you said really true?"

"Mom, why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go back and ask my eldest sister and second uncle."

Madam Feng was shocked. The county magistrate's wife had actually gone to her house, had a meal there, and brought so many gifts. She had really neglected her distinguished guest.

"In April, I'll do whatever you say. We'll buy whatever you like."

The mother and her children picked through their selections, making the shop assistant beam with joy.

"A teapot and teacups, please. How much, buddy?"

The waiter picked up the abacus and shook it up and down, the beads clattering neatly. "It's 8 taels and 523 cash in total. I'll charge you 8 taels and 5 mace. Since you bought a lot, I'll round it down. I'll also give you a large soup bowl and a large soup ladle."

"Welcome to visit again, Madam."

"Buddy, tie it tight. My house is far away, and the road is bad. Don't let it all fall apart before we get home."

"Don't worry, Madam, I'll make sure you're well-fed and clothed, so you won't be hungry when you get home."

The waiter packed the food very carefully, lining each bowl with thick straw, bundling five bowls together, binding them tightly with straw rope, placing them in a bamboo basket, and filling it with straw so that the contents couldn't move at all.

Liu Siyue gave the waiter a thumbs up, "Well done." The waiter chuckled, used to it, nothing special.

When Madam Feng heard the price, her heart ached terribly. How long would it take for ordinary people to save up 8 taels of silver? In their Liujia Village, there were hardly any families who could afford 5 taels of silver.

Once they had some money, they spent it like water flowing away, and it couldn't last long!

She didn't earn the money herself; her child is willing to use it to improve their life and show filial piety. What can she say? Saying too much will only annoy people. What did April say again? You can earn what you can spend. Money is meant to be spent, not hoarded.
