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

Seeing this scene, the village chief was also helpless. "What a tragedy!" He ordered the villagers to quickly carry the person back to the village to be treated by a local doctor.

When the quack doctor saw another person carrying out, covered in blood and still so badly injured, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. It was truly retribution!

The Shi family is in a terrible state. Old Man Shi is paralyzed in bed and unable to move. Shi Dahe and Shi Dashui are injured and unconscious. Shi Dashan is still unconscious. Tie Niu is so frightened that he loses control of his bladder and bowels and has become dazed and confused.

"Hey, folk doctor, wake Shi Dashan up. He still needs to take care of this family."

The quack doctor immediately had a basin of cold water brought over and poured it on Shi Dashan's head.

After a while, Shi Dashan woke up, feeling as if he had just woken from a dream. Looking at the villagers surrounding him with puzzled expressions, he asked, "Why are you all in my house?"

"Shi Dashan, what did you do that you don't know about?"

"What did I do? I just bought some things outside and came back; I didn't do anything else."

"Stop pretending! Look at the state you've ruined your two younger brothers!"

The crowd parted, revealing Shi Dahe and Shi Dashui. "Did I do this? Impossible." Shi Dashan looked completely innocent, clearly indicating that he hadn't done it.

The village chief looked at the quack doctor. "What's going on? He doesn't remember what he did. Could he be faking it?"

"Village chief, I've heard people say before that when a person is in a fit of rage, they can't control their behavior, and afterwards, they might not remember anything at all."

The village chief didn't want to get involved. As long as the person wasn't dead, that was good. They lived far from the emperor's reach, so what did it matter if someone died? He just wanted the villagers to keep quiet. That's how their ancestors had always lived.

"Shi Dashan, you can handle your family matters yourself. We're leaving now."

"Village chief, should we report this to the authorities? What if Shi Dashan goes crazy again someday?" a villager asked.

"Report to the authorities! If Shi Dashan is arrested, you'll be supporting his whole family. Don't you have eyes? Can't you see the situation right now?"

The villagers immediately shut their mouths. He couldn't even support his own wife and children, so how could he have any surplus food to support others?

After seeing the villagers off, Shi Dashan revealed a cold smile. He walked to the house where Old Man Shi lived and said, "Father, my good father, I've come to see you."

Old Man Shi was frightened by the expression on his face. "Dashan, what's wrong with you? If you don't want to share the silver with them, fine, but you shouldn't have treated them so harshly. You are brothers after all."

Without my brothers' help, I'll be bullied by outsiders. How foolish of me!

Shi Dashan slapped him across the face. "You old bastard, if it weren't for you, would I have become like this?"

You beat my mother to death. I respect you because you raised us with great difficulty, and I am willing to listen to what you say.

"But because of that, you let those two beasts bully my wife, and even gave me all those lectures, and I actually believed you."

Shi Dashan slapped himself. "It's all because I was too stupid. But don't worry, you're my dad. I won't do anything to you."

"Dashan, I don't ask for your forgiveness, but Tie Niu is now the only pillar of our family. You must take good care of him. The Shi family will depend on him from now on."

Shi Dashan raised his hand and slapped Old Man Shi again. "Are you going to say that we are all Shi family's offspring, and it doesn't matter who the father is, we will rely on him to take care of us in our old age and have children?"

"I will do as you wish and treat him well, hahahaha..." Shi Dashan burst into laughter.

"Dashan, don't hold a grudge against a child. It's all the adults' fault. Tie Niu is innocent. He's called you Dad for so many years, he must have feelings for you."

After all, you and Liu were the first to consummate your marriage, so it's highly likely that Tie Niu is your biological son. Don't overthink it; just treat him well, and he'll be filial to you when he grows up.

Shi Dashan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he turned around and left. He looked at Tie Niu lying with his second and third brothers. He looked a lot like his two younger brothers, but everyone in the village said that the three brothers looked alike, so he must look a lot like himself.

Alas, what a tragedy!

He was already tired and hungry from walking all the way, and after this ordeal, he was almost completely exhausted. He went to the kitchen and continued cooking the food that they hadn't finished cooking.

As he cooked, he thought about Liu Shi. It's really impossible to live without a woman in the house. If she were still here, would he still need to cook by himself?

From now on, the family will depend on him alone. How will they manage to live like this?

If he hadn't lost that 100 taels of silver, he could have bought another woman to take care of his family. Now it's no use saying anything.

Shi Dashan sighed deeply, wondering why God was treating him this way.

Tie Niu woke up with a rumbling stomach. He cautiously walked to the kitchen door, not daring to run over and call out to his great-uncle as he used to. He only dared to peek out from behind the door.

Shi Dashan saw the little head at the door and beckoned him over. Tie Niu slowly walked to his side and said, "Grandpa, please don't hit me. I will definitely listen to you."

When I grow up, I'll beat up those bad guys, avenge my fathers, and avenge Big Black and Grandpa.

"Tie Niu, I want you to remember that you are my son, Shi Dashan. From now on, don't call me 'Uncle,' call me 'Dad,' understand?"

I don't like hearing you call me "Big Daddy" anymore.

"Understood, Dad, Tie Niu has remembered."

"Also, you're not allowed to call your second uncle and third uncle that anymore. Call them second uncle and third uncle, understand?"

"I'll remember that, Father."

"Alright, go play first, we'll eat in a bit."

Shi Dashan watched the small figure leave. He felt that he was incompetent and had failed to protect the child's mother. He had also let the child down and had not taught him well, allowing him to treat his mother that way.

There's plenty of time in the future. He'll teach him slowly, telling him that his mother is a good woman, not a vile one, and that he must treat his wife well and protect her after he marries.

Qingwu watched Shi Dashan leave the county town. She went back to report to Liu Siyue, "Miss, he has already left in an oxcart. Here are the 100 taels of silver notes."

"I think this banknote is dirty; you can do whatever you want with it."

"Miss, I think those little beggars are not bad. Why don't we take them in and train them to be our own people? They are boys, which will be convenient for them to handle things outside."

Liu Siyue thought it was a good idea, so she took out another 100 taels and gave it to Qingwu, "Take it and get things done."

"Yes, Miss."

Qingwu didn't see the little beggars on the street, so she went to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city, where the little beggars were lying on the ground, doing something.

She looked around at the surroundings; overgrown with weeds, a complete mess. It was indeed a dilapidated temple; half the roof was gone, and a large section of the wall had collapsed. She didn't know when it had crumbled; living here was really dangerous.

She coughed as she walked in, and several people turned to look at her at the same time. "Sister, what brings you here? Did you come to see us?"

"I was just passing by and thought I'd stop by to see what you're doing?"

"Black Egg is sick, and we don't have the money to hire a doctor for him. Sister, can you help us?"

From now on, if you need us to do something, we won't charge you.

They were quite sensible and didn't try to take advantage of the situation. "This house is too dilapidated and is about to collapse. It's not safe for you to live here. What if the house collapses while you're sleeping at night?"

"We really have nowhere to live. All the better places have been taken by others. We don't want to live with those old beggars. They always bully us. Not only do we not get to eat the food we beg for, but we also get beaten up."

We'd rather live here; if the building really collapses, we'll accept our fate.

My life was worthless anyway; death would be the end of it all.

"Haha, you're quite open-minded."

Would you like to come with me?

"What does this mean, sister? Are you trying to buy us?"

"More or less."

"Sister, is this true? We don't want money, you just need to provide us with meals."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
