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

Huang Lanhua looked at him in surprise, "What silver? I don't owe you any silver!"

"What else could it be? The two taels of silver I gave you to sever ties with earlier."

"That was the money you gave us to sever ties with your family. Why should I give it back to you?"

"I'll ask you one more time: are you going to give me the money or not?"

"No!"

"Fine, you won't give it to me, huh?" Shi Dashan grabbed Huang Lanhua's hand and reached into her clothes, startling Huang Lanhua who screamed, "Shi Dashan, what are you trying to do? I'm your mother-in-law!"

Shi Dashan didn't care about anything else and directly took out the silver from his pocket, along with dozens of copper coins.

She weighed the coins in her hand. "Consider these coins as my travel expenses. Look! Look! My shoes are all worn out."

Grandpa Liu was too frightened to speak, and watched helplessly as Shi Dashan put his hand into Huang Lanhua's arms.

Liu Bayue knew that the man who had spoken earlier was her brother-in-law. She hadn't expected her brother-in-law to be so fierce, and she had already hidden away in fear. She wanted to ask her sister how she was doing, but she didn't dare to ask.

After obtaining the items, Shi Dashan left the Liu family and boarded a carriage heading towards the county town.

Huang Lanhua lay on the ground wailing. Liu Dahu hopped out on his crutches. He had seen everything. He was now a cripple, powerless to do anything.

With nowhere to vent his anger, Liu Dahu walked up to Huang Lanhua, picked up his cane, and struck her.

He knew perfectly well that it wasn't her fault, but he was incredibly frustrated and had to vent his anger. "You bitch, you think you're no good anymore? You dare let another man touch you in broad daylight! I'll beat you to death!"

Huang Lanhua quickly got up from the ground and ran outside. "Calm down, husband. It's not what you think. You can ask Dad if you don't believe me."

Grandpa Liu knew that his son had been feeling frustrated and upset since losing his leg, so he didn't try to persuade him. He thought it was good for him to vent.

Yu Guixiang kept her two children inside the house, secretly listening to the noises outside. Liu Qinghe's two children were so frightened that they cried loudly.

Wang Lanhua had already been bullied and beaten herself, and when she heard the two children crying, she became furious. "You two debt collectors, what are you crying for? If you cry again, I'll throw you out."

"Your father is dead, your mother ran away, and you still have the nerve to cry? Do you want to cry this whole family to death?"

The two children were so frightened that they quickly shut their mouths and sobbed softly.

When Madam Feng saw Liu Dawang return, she looked behind him but saw no one. "Husband, why did you come back alone? Where are Siyue and the two girls? Did something happen?"

How was things over there in January? Was he doing well?

"Yes, I'm back."

You've asked me 18 questions in a row, I don't even know which one to answer first! Could you get me a glass of water first?

The other children quickly gathered around, eager for Liu Dawang to tell them about their trip.

After Da Wang finished drinking the water, he wiped his mouth with his hand and then said, "April and the two girls took January to the county town."

January was a bad month. I've already divorced Shi Dashan. I went back to the village with him; he went to the old house to get a letter of severance.

"Didn't they already get divorced? Why does Shi Dashan still need to sever ties?"

"The letter of severance of kinship was requested by him when he returned in April, and a couple of days later he brought it back with him."

"The child has nowhere to stay when he comes back; I need to find some planks to make a bed."

"Honey, you don't need to bother setting up the bed anymore. Master Chang has already delivered the furniture and placed it in each room."

"Oh, it arrived so quickly. I'll go check it out."

"Don't rush, the things are all there, they can't run away. Tell me about the situation in January first."

Seeing that the children were all there, Liu Dawang realized that some things were not suitable for them to hear, so he quickly changed the subject, "I'm tired and hungry right now, could you get me something to eat first?"

"Dad, wait here, I'll go make you a bowl of noodles right away."

After Liu Ruyun and her sisters left, Liu Dawang sighed and said, "Poor Yiyue, that child has suffered so much. That family is worse than animals, and that child is like a wolf cub. I don't know how that child has survived these past few years."

As Liu Dawang spoke, his eyes reddened slightly. "There are some things I can't say in front of the children. I'll tell you in detail tonight."

"Did anything happen at home while we were gone for the past two days?"

"It's nothing, I was just worried about you. Let's go take a look at the furniture that was delivered."

Madam Feng and Liu Dawang toured the room one by one. Liu Dawang looked at the exquisite furniture and sturdy wooden bed and praised them highly.

"Have you already assigned all the rooms?"

"Yes, the sisters live in the west wing, while April and January live in the east wing. Moon and Star live with us in the main room, and the two sisters share a room."

And those two girls, they lived in the east wing with April.

Back then we said we built too many houses; look at us now, there are barely enough to live in.

There's something else I need to tell you. Wenxiu came to see me, saying she wanted to arrange a marriage between us, and that Shitou should marry Ruyun.

"What! They're making Shi Tou marry Ru Yun? Do the two children know about this?"

"I don't know, let's discuss it privately as adults first."

"Yes, you must not tell the children about this. The Tian family and we are of the same clan, I think we are within the fifth degree of kinship."

"I don't know, you can figure it out yourself."

"I can't figure it out. I'll ask the clan leader another day, and also ask April for her opinion. She's very knowledgeable, experienced, and considers things from a long-term perspective."

"You're right, this is a major life event for Ruyun, we need to discuss it carefully."

When Liu Siyue and her group arrived in the county town, they went directly to Huichuntang.

When the shop assistant Dewey saw Liu Siyue, he beamed with joy. "Madam Liu, are you here to sell medicinal herbs today? Thank you for the snacks you sent last time, they were so delicious."

"I'm glad you like it. I'm not here to sell medicinal herbs this time; I'm here to see a doctor. Is Dr. Li here?"

"He's here, treating someone in the ward. You can wait here for a bit, or you can come with me to another ward to wait."

"Then go wait in the ward!"

After finishing his rounds, Dr. Li came out of the ward and saw Liu Siyue standing outside. "Madam Liu, what brings you here today? Are you here to buy medicine or to see me?"

"The person who came to see you for treatment is in that ward. Come with me."

When Dr. Li entered the room, he was shocked to see a emaciated woman lying on the hospital bed. She looked like a dried-up corpse.

"Who is this person? How did he get into this state?"

"She's my older sister, and she's been tormented like this by others."

"You're not kidding me, are you? She looks older than your mother."

"I'm not kidding. The suffering my sister has endured is unimaginable to you and me. Please, Dr. Li, take a good look at my sister. Her health is extremely poor. This big person feels like a ball of cotton when I carry her on my back."

"Don't worry, Madam Liu, I will do my best to treat her."

Doctor Li began to take her pulse. His brows were furrowed so deeply that they could trap a fly. Liu Yue was terrified, knowing that the situation must be bad.

"Madam Liu, please come outside with me."

Your eldest sister's condition is not good; she probably won't live much longer, maybe three to five years at most, or one to two years at least.

His body was already riddled with wounds, beyond saving.

All I can do is prescribe some medicine and nurse her back to health. If she's lucky, she might live a few more years.

"Dr. Li, please use whatever medicine you need. Don't worry about the cost; people are the most important thing."
