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

The men exchanged glances. They all knew that Shi Dashan's wife was bought and had long since lost contact with her family. Why would her family come looking for her?

"What's your daughter's name? Which village are you from?"

"My daughter's name is Liu Yiyue, and we are from Liujia Village in Sifang Town."

Those people immediately understood, "Come with me, I'll take you there."

"Brother Black Tiger, should we inform Shi Dashan first?"

"No need, everyone should go back."

Liu Siyue followed the man named Black Tiger into the village. After several twists and turns, they arrived at a stone house. She pointed and said, "See that? That's Shi Dashan's house."

Liu Siyue had noticed this village earlier. The people here live very scattered, one family here, one family there, and very few families living together.

Liu Siyue and the others walked to the courtyard gate, which was tightly closed. A child's voice came from inside, "You stinky woman, hurry up and cook, or your third uncle will beat you to death when he comes back."

Don't even think about slacking off or running away!

"Tie Niu, you can't do this to me. I'm your own mother."

"Hmph, your father says you're a stinking woman; if you're not disciplined for three days, you'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles."

The group frowned as they listened, wondering what was going on.

Liu Dawang stepped forward and pushed the door open. It was bolted from the inside. He knocked on the door a few times. "Is anyone home?"

A pair of small eyes peered through the crack in the door. "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

"Little one, is your father's name Shi Dashan? Is your mother's name Liu Yiyue?"

"Who are you?"

Liu Dawang didn't answer him, but instead took out a few candies. "Look, these are candies. Open the door, and these are all yours."

"Dad said they hadn't come back and wouldn't let me open the door."

"If you don't open the door, you won't get any candy."

Tie Niu thought for a moment, then opened the door, snatched the candy, and closed the door so his father wouldn't know.

When Liu Yiyue heard someone outside say her name, she shook her head in disbelief. She must have misheard; she didn't know anyone in this village.

Since arriving at the Shi family home, she has hardly ever left the courtyard. She tried to escape several times, but was caught and nearly beaten to death. Fearing she would run away, the Shi brothers brought back a dog to watch over her at home.

As soon as Tie Niu opened the door, Liu Dawang pushed it open and entered the yard. A big black dog immediately pounced on him, and Liu Dawang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Qingwu stepped forward and kicked the dog away. The big black dog crashed heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then lay still.

Tie Niu and Liu Yiyue were both too frightened to move. Liu Siyue helped Liu Dawang up, "Second Uncle, are you alright?"

Liu Dawang patted his chest, "It's alright, it's alright."

An aged voice came from inside the house, "Tie Niu, what's all the commotion in the yard? What are you doing?"

Tie Niu burst into tears, "Grandpa, bad people have come to our house!"

Startled by Tie Niu's crying, Liu Yiyue looked over and met the eyes of Liu Siyue and Liu Dawang.

Liu Siyue couldn't believe that the person in front of her was her eldest sister, Liu Yiyue. She looked like an old woman in her forties or fifties.

Liu Yiyue didn't recognize Liu Siyue either, but she recognized Liu Dawang at a glance. Tears streamed down her face as she softly called out, "Second Uncle, is that you?"

Liu Dawang looked at the skin and bones of the woman in front of him. He couldn't believe that this was his eldest niece. How could she have become like this? But he had just clearly heard her call for her second uncle.

He also asked, "Are you January?"

When Liu Dawang asked the question, Liu Yiyue was already sobbing uncontrollably, and she just nodded.

She never expected that anyone would still remember her, and that she would be able to see her family again in her lifetime.

Liu Siyue then took a closer look at her older sister. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were tattered, her pants were in disarray and too short, and her face, arms and legs were covered with bruises and scars. She was wearing straw sandals and looked like a dried corpse.

If you look closely at her facial features, she does bear some resemblance to the original owner.

She stepped forward and called out softly, "Big sister, it's me, April. Don't you recognize me?"

What have you been through all these years? How could they have tormented you like this?

Liu Yiyue looked at the woman in front of her. She saw her younger sister in her eyes when she was a child. She tried hard to control herself from sobbing and crying. She wanted to talk to them, but she couldn't control her emotions and her sobbing turned into crying.

Liu Siyue took her hand; it was dry and rough, incomparable to her delicate and fair hands. This was no hand; it was just skin wrapped around bone.

She slowly released her grip, then gently embraced Liu Yiyue, patting her back softly to comfort her and let her cry freely, releasing her pent-up emotions.

Liu Yiyue hugged her back. After about 15 minutes, Liu Yiyue's emotions gradually calmed down. She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying, and called out, "Second Sister, Second Uncle."

Seeing his niece suffer so much, Liu Dawang was already in tears. When he heard his niece call him, he sighed and said, "Child, you have suffered so much."

Your second uncle is incompetent and didn't come to see you sooner, so don't blame him.

Liu Yiyue felt bitter. Her parents didn't care about her life or death, so what right did she have to blame a second uncle who had severed ties with her?

"Second Uncle, Second Sister, I have no regrets even if I die right now, just to see you today. The only regret is that I didn't get to see my little sister, August. I wonder how she is doing now."

"Big sister, don't think about anything right now, just take care of yourself first."

It's getting dark and cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Liu Yiyue led them into her room, which was pitch black and they couldn't see anything.

Liu Siyue took out a candle from her spatial storage, took out a gas lighter, and lit the candle with a click. She carefully looked at the room. The room was actually built of stone, with animal skins hanging on the walls. There was a box in the corner, a table in the middle of the room, and a bed against the wall. There was nothing else.

"Big sister, where did everyone else in the family go?"

"The three Shi brothers went hunting in the mountains. They might be back tonight or tomorrow."

The child I just spoke to is my son, and the old man I was talking to is his grandfather.

"I overheard at the door that the child isn't close to you."

"Yes, he has never called me 'Mom'."

Liu Siyue's stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

"Big sister, you haven't eaten yet, have you? How about I make you some food?"

Liu Yiyue looked bitter again, "There's no food left at home, otherwise the three brothers wouldn't have gone into the mountains."

"Are you just going to starve like this?"

"Yes, when they come back, we'll take the game we hunt to town and sell it to buy food."

"If you can't catch them, you'll just have to go hungry." Liu Yiyue didn't dare to look up; she hadn't eaten all day.

"Big sister, take me to the kitchen."

"Second sister, there's nothing in the kitchen."

"If there's no food, there should at least be water."

"There's water, I'll take you there." She stumbled as soon as she stood up and almost fell. Liu Siyue and Qingye quickly helped her up.

At the kitchen door, Qingwu pushed it open, and Liu Siyue took out another candle and lit it. "Qingye, help your older sister to the house to rest. Qingwu, you start the fire."

The water boiled, and Liu Siyue scooped out two bowls of water, asking Qingwu to take them in first for her second uncle and eldest sister.

After sending Qingwu away, she immediately took out 10 packets of instant noodles, tore off the packaging, threw them into the pot, sprinkled in the seasoning, crumpled the packaging into a ball, and threw it into the fire to burn.
