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

Those who didn't go to pick the red berries were filled with regret. They ran to Feng Dagang's house and asked if he still bought red berries, only to receive a firm answer: No!

They left unwillingly, blaming the Feng family for concealing the news of their daughter's wealth.

Feng Shunli, the village chief of Fengyuan Village, also learned of this news and went to the homes of those who had returned to inquire again carefully. "Shuanzi, is everything you said today true?"

"Village chief, would I make this up? If you don't believe me, ask my parents if they just ate scallion pancakes made of wheat flour."

"Village chief, what my son said is true. The Feng family's daughter has made a fortune. It seems their family's life is about to improve," said Shuanzi's mother, seemingly recalling the past. Shuanzi had liked Yuzhen back then, but they disliked the Feng family for being too much of a burden and forced their son to give up the idea. In the end, their son was just not lucky enough.

"Shuanzi, why are only a few of you back? Where are the Feng family members?"

"Oh, you're asking about that? They didn't say anything specific, but I overheard that the second and third sons of the Feng family are going to learn some kind of trade, and the three Feng brothers are going to stay and help out. I don't know exactly what they'll be doing."

"Village chief, I also heard from the villagers that the Feng family's daughter met a wealthy lady from the city, who gave their family a lot of gold and silver jewelry, enough for them to spend for generations."

"How come Yuzhen is so lucky! No girl in our village has a better life than her." Shuanzi also thought of the past. If he hadn't listened to his parents, he might have had a good life. Now it's too late.

After leaving the family, village chief Feng Shunli told his wife about it as soon as he got home. "Wife, let me tell you, it seems that the Feng family is really going to rise up. I heard about the case at the county government last time, and this time it's definitely true."

Several sons in the Feng family are still unmarried. They used to be too poor, and my eldest sister's daughter didn't even consider them. Now that their family is starting to prosper, I'm thinking of arranging a marriage between my niece and one of the Feng sons. What do you think?

"This is indeed a good idea. Everyone's daughter has been rejected by her fiancé for two years and still hasn't found a husband. Although she is still a virgin, she is getting old and can only become someone's second wife. But the mother and daughter refuse to do so, and the longer they delay, the more they will be left behind."

Before they become rich, if this deal goes through, it will be good for everyone. The eldest sister won't have to suffer at home having to put up with her daughter-in-law's attitude, and her niece will have a good future. Since you're the village chief, the Feng family won't be able to make things difficult for you.

"If the Feng family prospers in the future, my niece will remember our kindness and help us out. She'll also think of us first when good things happen."

"Okay, it's settled then. Go to your older sister's house tomorrow and tell her about it."

"Alright, if my elder sisters don't agree, I'll go back to my parents' home and ask my nieces. One of them should marry into the Feng family."

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

Feng Shunli and his wife agreed to take off their shoes and go to bed, waiting for dawn. They wanted to be the first to go, not let others beat them to it.

After hearing what Shuanzi and the others said, several families in Fengjia Village were tempted. One of them even saw the Feng family eating white rice and meat. The Feng family had many sons, so it would be a good thing to marry off either a son or a grandson. It was a pity that Granny Feng wasn't home. If she were, they could have gone to sound her out by now.

These past two years have been tough. Marrying the girl off early will not only bring in a dowry but also save on one person's food rations. If she goes to the Feng family, they might even be able to help out her own family.

Look at the families of Feng Dagang and Feng Daqiang's fathers-in-law; they received preferential treatment from the Feng family, who allowed them to pick red berries at night.

Previously, the families in Fengjia Village were so poor that no one wanted to marry their daughters off to suffer, and they were also afraid that the family couldn't afford the bride price.

Overnight, the Feng family became the most sought-after family in the village, and their son was coveted by others.

The Liu family, the Feng family of six, and the Liu family of four, a total of eighteen or nineteen people, set up two tables in the courtyard. The dishes were plentiful, with plenty of meat dishes and several cold dishes. Liu Siyue also brought a small jar of wine and delivered it to the men's table.

"Uncle, Second Uncle, Uncle Tian, ​​you've worked hard today. You can drink this jar of wine. No one else can share much, and you'll have to work tomorrow. I won't let you drink too much; just have a taste to satisfy your craving."

"Uncle Tian, ​​you and Brother Shitou don't need to come to my house to work tomorrow. You should take my uncles to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs, and bring Uncle Fusheng and the others along too. Remember, don't go deep into the mountains."

"Okay, Uncle will definitely keep them in check."

"Uncle, you must listen to Uncle Tian and Brother Shitou. If you don't listen, I'll have Grandma deal with you when we get back."

Mother Feng laughed heartily, "April is right. If any of you disobey, you can come back and tell me, and I'll break your legs."

After the meal, Liu Youtian and his son went to the clan chief's house and told them that they were going into the mountains to collect herbs the next day. They asked if they wanted to go, and Liu Fusheng agreed without hesitation.

"If you're going, sharpen your machete and hoe, bring your basket, and wait for Da Wang at his doorstep early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you for informing me."

"Brother Fusheng, don't be so polite with me. We're all thanks to the good harvest in April." He whispered into Liu Fusheng's ear, "Brother Fusheng, digging for medicinal herbs is hard work, but it's very profitable. Last time, my family and Maoquan's family sold more than 40 taels of silver."

Maoquan did something foolish, and now that girl, Siyue, won't take them under her wing anymore. Even if they dig up medicinal herbs, they won't be able to sell them; the clinic only recognizes Siyue.

Liu Fusheng's eyes lit up as he listened; his family's life would soon improve.

When it was time to sleep that night, Liu Dawang was sent to sleep with the Feng brothers. Feng's mother and daughter slept in the same room. The mother and daughter had not seen each other for many years and had a lot to talk about.

The night passed quietly. Just as the rooster crowed and dawn broke, the Feng brothers got up, filled the water vat, took the tools and dry food that Liu Dawang had prepared for them, opened the door, and stood outside waiting.

Liu Dawang also got up. "You don't need to get up so early. Lie down a bit more. You Tian and the others will knock on the door when they arrive."

"No, brother-in-law, we'll just wait outside. The nieces are all sleeping, so we don't want to wake them."

Liu Dawang couldn't persuade them, so he stood with them outside the door to wait. The October morning was still a bit chilly.

In a daze, I saw several people walking towards us. "Brother-in-law, look, it must be them."

Liu Fusheng and his two sons, along with Tian and his son, plus the three Feng brothers, made a total of eight people who quickly entered the mountains.

They were all men, and they walked very fast, disappearing from sight in no time.

Liu Dawang went back, closed the door, and went back to sleep. When it was broad daylight, the whole family got up, and a busy day began.

After breakfast, Liu Siyue drove the oxcart out. Feng's mother and two grandsons got on, and Ruyue and Ruxing ran over, blinking their watery eyes at her, "Cousin, can we go with Grandma?"

"You want to go?"

"Um."

"Okay, my cousin agrees. You should ask Mom."

The two sisters looked at Madam Feng in unison, "Mother, can we go?"

"Go if you want, but listen to your cousin and grandma. Don't run around. If you get kidnapped by kidnappers, you'll never see us again."

The two little girls were a bit scared. "Cousin, we're not going. We don't want to be kidnapped by child traffickers."

"As long as you don't run around and stick close to your cousin, the kidnappers won't be able to take you away. The kidnappers only take away the disobedient kids."

The two nodded quickly, promising not to run away. Feng's mother glared at her daughter.

Liu Siyue carried Ruyue and Ruxing into the car and went to town to become apprentices.
