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

Liu Siyue's voice suddenly rose, and her eyes turned cold. "I hate it when people say I'm ugly or insult me."

There were two other people in the village who said the same thing about me, just like you. Do you know what happened to them?

Why don't you guess?

"I don't want to guess, I don't want to guess. I'm a scholar, and if you dare to touch me, you're breaking the law."

"Since you won't guess, I'll tell you. I knocked out all their teeth with a stick. The blood was flowing so much..."

Xue Yongliang's face was ashen, and his body was trembling. Liu Siyue wanted to laugh when she saw him. This was the self-important, arrogant scholar. Judging from his imposing manner just now, she thought he was very tough. Turns out he was just a coward.

"Xue Yongliang, Scholar Xue, for the sake of your scholarly background, I'll give you a chance to reform. Slap yourself, curse yourself. If the slaps aren't hard enough, if the curses aren't sincere enough," then I'll do it myself.

"Don't go too far. I am a scholar, and I have an official title."

"How dare you be so shameless? You think you can just take advantage of me? If you don't agree, then you can start swearing!"

Liu Siyue swung her hand and slapped him twice, making Xue Xiucai see stars and his face burn with pain. He covered his face with one hand and pointed at Liu Siyue with the other, "You, you, you, how dare you hit me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Siyue broke the finger that Xue Xiucai had extended, and Xue Xiucai cried out in pain.

Matchmaker Wang quickly stepped forward to mediate, "Miss Liu, Miss Liu, calm down. He's already been beaten and scolded. After all, he's a scholar. Let's just let this matter go. I'll take my people and leave right now."

"Alright, for the sake of Matchmaker Wang, I'll let him off the hook. But if he goes out and talks dirty and gossips, don't blame me for being impolite."

And also, Wang the matchmaker, next time you're arranging a marriage, make sure you understand the other party thoroughly. Did you bring him to my house today to empty it out, or to trick me into becoming his servant?

Matchmaker Wang was also somewhat intimidated by Liu Siyue, so she smiled ingratiatingly and said, "This time, I, this old woman, was confused. It won't happen again next time."

It is said that the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Xue Yongliang was in so much pain that his face was covered in cold sweat. He tightly gripped one hand with the other.

Xue Yongliang had hired a horse-drawn carriage. He went straight to the county town after leaving the house. He needed to find a doctor in the county town to treat his hand. If his hand could not be treated, it would affect his chances of passing the imperial examination next year.

"Matchmaker Wang, I invited you here today to help me find a spouse, not to have tea. I didn't take those two taels of silver for nothing."

"Scholar Xue, you're wrong about that. You picked up where I left off and kept babbling on and on, not giving me a chance to speak. You messed things up yourself and now you're blaming me."

"You want your two taels of silver back? No way!"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but of all the matchmakers I've worked with, you're the first one I've encountered who's offered themselves as a token of sincerity and a dowry."

You're exaggerating way too much. There's not even a glimmer of hope yet, and you're already spouting nonsense about holding high positions in the government and being a titled lady. It makes you sound like an unreliable person who talks big but doesn't follow any real path.

Xue Xiucai, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're almost 30 this year. Ever since you passed the imperial examination at the age of 18, you've failed the autumn examination every three years without fail. You've squandered all of your family's wealth.

If I hadn't known your mother, I wouldn't have made this trip for you.

Take my advice: you should find a tutor and work as a teacher. If you work hard and copy more books, you can support yourself and your mother.

When you have more money in the future, you can continue to take the exam. With your status as a scholar, you can marry a girl from an ordinary family in the countryside, and many people would be willing to marry you. So stop dreaming about city girls.

Don't mess with someone like Liu. She's ruthless and cruel; she sent her own elder brother to hard labor and doesn't care about her own parents. What else wouldn't she do? Don't be foolish.

"Okay, okay."

His most important thing right now is to get his hand injured and he hopes it won't affect his ability to hold a pen.

After Wang the matchmaker and Xue the scholar left, the remaining two matchmakers were also trembling with fear and dared not play any tricks.

Matchmaker Yang described the man she was going to introduce. For a farming family, this was an excellent match. The man was an only son with two married sisters. His parents were kind people. The family owned 15 mu of paddy fields, 8 mu of dry land, an oxcart, and a mud-brick and tile house.

After seeing that Yang had finished her introductions, Zhu, the matchmaker, began to talk about the family she wanted to introduce.

She was going to introduce three families. The first family consisted of three brothers, all of whom were skilled hunters and were well-off. None of the three brothers had ever been married and wanted to meet her family's unmarried daughters. If possible, the three brothers wanted to marry the three sisters, saying it was for the sake of family harmony.

Even if he can't marry all three, he can choose whichever girl he likes and marry that girl. He can give each girl a dowry of 5 taels of silver, plus an animal skin.

The second family were honest and hardworking farmers. The young man was a skilled farmer, and his family also included his parents and a younger brother.

She is filial to her parents, humble, and her family has no worries about food and drink. She can manage the household after marriage, and her parents-in-law are not the type to make their daughter-in-law suffer. She is also well-liked in the village.

The third family is the son of Master Hu from Sifang Town. He is away doing business all year round and is extremely wealthy, ranking among the top in our town. He is two years older than your eldest daughter and has an unmarried younger sister.

After listening attentively to their stories, Madam Feng smiled and said, "You two matchmakers have worked hard. I will seriously consider the families you have mentioned. I will let you know after discussing it with my family."

The two matchmakers immediately stood up with beaming smiles, "Then we won't disturb you any longer, we'll wait for your good news."

Feng also gave each person 5 coins as a reward for their hard work.

Finally, everyone left, and Madam Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. Her two sisters-in-law sat there, barely daring to breathe.

"Little sister, when did you become so amazing?"

"I'm not that great. The kids are too young to understand these things, so I have to take good care of them."

That Xue scholar today was infuriating! Was he even speaking human language?

They're after my April's money. They backed down because the man wasn't good-looking. They even want my April to be their maid. What a pipe dream!

He thinks he's a scholar, smarter than everyone else, and treats everyone else like fools.

With that kind of behavior, the woman who went ahead still doesn't know what happened to her!

This guy is obviously a seasoned swindler, a master of boasting. With that silver tongue, he's probably swindled countless people. What did April call this kind of behavior again...?

"Making empty promises!" Liu Siyue came in with her daughter and several sisters. "Mom, you were really amazing today. You've seen how shameless those people are!"

When scholars start to paint a rosy picture, they can be even more adept than farmers. They have a knack for understanding people's psychology, and what they say always hits the nail on the head.

What you see is a bright future and a promising outlook.

If you encounter someone who's greedy and vain, they'll definitely take the bait.

Feng Dagang's wife also said angrily, "A scholar, indeed! He's shameless. Everyone says that scholars are the most polite, but I think he's wasted his time and money. He's just full of scheming and cunning."

"My aunt is absolutely right. In the words of those scholars, he's a scoundrel."

There's a saying that goes, "The most righteous are often from humble backgrounds, while the most ungrateful are often scholars."

"Big sister, you lost our bet, remember to give me the money!"

Feng looked at the two of them and asked with her eyes, "What bet are you making?"
