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

Liu Siyue and Ruxue came out of the village chief's house. On their way back, the two sisters talked as they walked. "Ruxue, didn't you want to do business? I'll take you with me when I go out in the future. You can broaden your horizons, interact with more people, and see how others do business."

As a businessman, having a keen eye for people and a sharp sense of business opportunities is crucial; a single decision you make can often determine your success or failure.

"I will definitely follow you and learn more so that I can start my own business as soon as possible."

"You can't fall behind in your studies; your two younger sisters are doing better than you both."

"Yes, I will try my best."

"At home, you need to help your eldest sister more. Actually, this is the beginning of your business. You need to learn to manage accounts and people, start from small things, and grow up slowly."

"What I just discussed with the village chief, you go back and tell your older sister. I won't get involved."

"Yes, I've noted all of that down. I'll definitely explain it to my older sister."

"When doing things, don't just blindly rush in; use your brain more."

Do you know why I just had the village chief's wife come to our house to work? And about buying hawthorn fruit from people in other villages, do you think the village chief should handle that himself?

"Because our family is short-handed, the village chief's words carry weight, and people from other villages dare not cause trouble."

"Whether we need help or not is up to us. Think it over carefully and give me your answer in the next couple of days."

That evening, Liu Siyue told her three sisters, Ruyun, Ruxue, and Ruyu, that they were going out to visit their eldest sister, Yiyue.

Before dawn, Liu Ruyun took an oil lamp to the kitchen and started making pancakes and cooking porridge. As the eldest sister, she thought of and shouldered the most responsibilities.

As soon as it was light, Liu Siyue and the others got up and started tidying up.

"Father, April, and the two chefs, I've made breakfast. Come and eat!"

Qingwu quickly said, "Miss, please don't call us Master, just call us by our names. My name is Qingwu, and her name is Qingye."

"Big sister, just call them by their names, it'll feel more natural that way."

"You two stop calling them 'Miss' all the time, just call them by their names."

"Madam, isn't this inappropriate?"

"We're all from the village, there's nothing wrong with that. How about this, you all just call out to people like I do."

"Yes, madam."

After a quick meal, Liu Siyue and the others had some dry rations prepared for them by Liu Ruyun. Liu Siyue also carried a bundle on her back. Once everything was ready, they set off in the oxcart.

Qingwu sat at the front driving the carriage, while Liu Dawang and Siyue sat in the carriage. The carriage was lined with a thick layer of straw, and an old quilt was placed on top of the straw. The uncle and nephew sat on it, which was soft and comfortable.

The oxcart left the village and started running when there was no one on the road. It entered Sifang Town and smoothly passed through the town. There were three forks in the road ahead, and the oxcart stopped at one of them.

"Madam, Master, there are three roads ahead. Which one should we take to get to Qingxi Town?"

Liu Siyue found this form of address awkward, as it made her and her second uncle seem like a married couple. "From now on, when you two come back to the village, you're not allowed to call me 'Madam,' call me 'Miss.'"

"Go back to the county town?"

"When we return to the county town, people call me Madam, and people in front of outsiders also call me Madam."

They only call me "Miss" when they go back to the village.

"Okay, we've got it."

"Miss, Master, which way should we go?"

Liu Dawang pointed to the middle road and said, "The middle road goes to Qingshui Town, the left road goes to Kangping Town, and the right road goes to Baicao Town."

"Go a little further ahead, there's a fork in the road; that's the path to your maternal grandmother's house."

"Master and Miss, please be seated. We'll be leaving now."

It was almost noon when they arrived in Qingshui Town. The group found a noodle stall in town, ate some noodles, and rested for a while.

"Second Uncle, do you know the way to Nanshiling?"

"I don't know, I'll go find someone to ask around."

"No need, let's ask the noodle stall owner."

"Boss, how do I get to Nan Shi Ling?"

"Are you going to Nanshiling? You'd better hurry on your way, because the road to Nanshiling is not easy to travel. Go east for ten miles after leaving the town, and you will see a village, that is Dayang Village."

The oxcart couldn't go any further, so we had to start climbing over the mountain. After crossing Chicken Tail Mountain, South Stone Ridge was on the other side of Chicken Tail Mountain.

If you're worried about getting lost in the mountains, you can ask someone from Dayang Village to show you the way; just give them a small fee.

"Thank you, boss."

After finding out the way, Liu Siyue drove the oxcart towards Dayang Village.

Just as the noodle stall owner had said, after walking ten miles, they indeed saw a village. Qingwu went up to ask the villagers for directions, and they pointed out the way to Nanshiling.

"Young lady, if you're going to Nanshe Ridge, this oxcart won't be able to go. From here on, it's all mountain roads. If you don't hurry, you won't get there before dark."

Once it gets dark, it's not safe in the mountains.

"Where does your village chief live? Take me to meet your village chief."

"Okay, come with me."

Liu Siyue and her group drove the oxcart to the village chief's house. After hearing what the villagers said, the village chief of Dayang Village looked at the four of them and asked, "Do you need something from me?"

Liu Siyue stepped forward to negotiate, "Are you the village chief of Dayang Village? A few of us are on our way to Nanshiling and we'd like to leave our oxcart at your house if we can."

We won't release them for free; we'll give them 10 coins every day.

"It's fine to leave it at my house. If you want to go, hurry up, otherwise it will be very dangerous in the mountains. It's very cold in the mountains at night, and you're wearing so little, you probably won't be able to stand it."

"Okay, thank you very much, village chief. The oxcart will be parked at your house. Thank you for reminding me."

"Village chief, I'd like to ask, is there only one road leading to Nanshiling, or are there several roads?"

"Since you're going into the mountains at this time, no one will be willing to guide you. I'll draw the route for you, so remember it."

The village chief drew a route for them on the ground, explaining as he drew. Liu Siyue was a little confused by the intricate and complicated drawing.

She asked Qingwu Qingye, "Did you two remember?"

"Yes, we've remembered them."

Liu Siyue was still worried. "Village chief, do you have paper and pens? Could you draw on paper for us? I'll pay for your paper."

"Okay, then I'll draw it on paper for you."

Liu Siyue felt relieved after receiving the route map.

They started walking into the mountains following the directions given by the villagers, but after less than two hours, Liu Siyue felt her legs were sore and weak.

Everyone else was also sweating, but they were stronger than her. She pretended to rummage through the bundle on her back, but actually took things out of her spatial storage. The water pouches were filled with spiritual spring water. She took out one water pouch after another, one for each of the four of them.

"Miss, you even carried water on your back. Why didn't you let us carry it? Look how tired you are."

"These water bags aren't heavy, drink a few sips quickly, and then hurry on your way."

"This water tastes so good. It warms me up and gives me energy."

Liu Siyue thought to herself, how could it not taste good? This is a rare and precious spiritual spring, and although she had diluted it, its effects were by no means weak.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, their speed immediately increased.

"Miss, I feel so energetic right now, I really want to run!" Qingwu said.

"Yes, Miss, I also want to run, I want to jump and fly," Qingye echoed.

"Miss, Master, let us take you away."

"You can lead us."

"It should be fine. Qingye, you take care of the young lady, and I'll take care of the master."

Liu Siyue looked at the two of them suspiciously. She had diluted the water at the same time, so why didn't she and her second uncle have such a big reaction? Was it because they were both martial artists?
