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

As soon as Liu Bayue entered the house, she heard Huang Lanhua cursing, "You all act like you're living ancestors, relying on your old mother for everything, inside and outside the house. If I die from exhaustion one day, let's see who you rely on."

Ever since Liu Dahu beat Huang Lanhua, she has been very aggressive lately, cursing anyone she sees. No one in the family dares to offend her now, as she is the pillar of the family.

"You lot, stop right there! You've been out for ages and only gathered this little bit of firewood? Were you slacking off somewhere again?"

"Grandma, we don't have any. There are so many people gathering firewood on the mountain now. My aunt said she'll take us to gather firewood further away tomorrow. We ran into my eldest aunt and second aunt on our way back."

"What auntie and second auntie? Which auntie and second auntie?"

"August, what do you say?"

"I just ran into my second sister and her eldest sister. They came back together, and my eldest sister looks very sick."

"You mean you brought your eldest sister back in April, just like in January? Did you see that clearly?"

"Look closely, we even spoke."

"Grandma, my aunt said, 'Little sister, I'm the eldest sister.'"

"That's all you said, nothing else?"

"no."

"You useless piece of trash, what's the point of your mouth? You didn't even ask her why she came back."

"Get out of my way, get out of my way."

Huang Lanhua couldn't understand. Didn't Shi Dashan just ask for a letter of severance a few days ago? Why was she back already? She would have to go out and find out what was going on.

After lunch, Huang Lanhua went to the village to inquire. She left her house and headed towards the big willow tree. Before she even got there, she encountered several women.

"Hey, isn't this Lan Hua? It's been so long since I've seen you. Your eldest daughter's back, did you know?"

"I don't know, what happened?"

"Look at you! What kind of mother are you? Your daughter is in such a terrible situation, and you didn't even know!"

"What happened? Tell me quickly."

"The eldest daughter was divorced by her husband's family and is now seriously ill and on the verge of death."

"Your second daughter took her to her second uncle's house. Aren't you going to go and check on her? You can't let the villagers laugh at you." The villagers, unaware that the marriage had ended, were still trying to persuade her.

"Oh, oh, I understand, I understand." Huang Lanhua quickly walked back. She was so sick in January that she was divorced. Oh dear! Luckily, the marriage was severed, otherwise what would she do if they came knocking on her door and refused to leave!

Wait a minute, why did she come back with April? Never mind, as long as she doesn't come looking for me.

When Huang Lanhua returned home, she told Liu Dahu about it. "Husband, I have something to tell you. He came back in January, but he was sent back by the Shi family, and he's dying."

That ingrate from April finally did something good this time, taking January to his second uncle's house.

"Well, that ingrate did do one decent thing: he sent August over there to check out what's going on."

"Yes, that's what I think too. Our eldest daughter used to dote on August so much. Maybe this time, April will take care of August for our eldest daughter's sake."

With this connection, our family's life will improve.

"Yes, that makes sense."

The old hen was simmering slowly over a low flame. At dinner, Liu Ruyun used the chicken broth to make chicken soup porridge for Liu Yiyue, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, and it smelled very fragrant.

"Big sister, this is porridge specially made with chicken broth for you. You can eat this for now. You can eat the others after your stomach recovers."

As Liu Yiyue watched her second uncle's family take such good care of her, tears involuntarily streamed down her face, dripping into her porridge bowl. Her heart was filled with a bittersweet feeling.

"Child, don't cry! With your second aunt here, just focus on taking care of yourself and don't think about so much."

Our daughter is so beautiful and adorable in April. Once you've recovered, you can help her take care of the baby so I can rest too. I'm exhausted every day.

"Yes, big sister, you need to take good care of yourself. You'll be helping me take care of my children in the future. It's so tiring for Mom to take care of the children all by herself!"

"You're Yao'er's aunt, don't even think about slacking off."

"Yes, I will definitely take good care of myself. I really want to see my little niece."

After dinner, everyone sat in the main room for a while, chatting about everyday things.

Liu Ruyun walked to Liu Yiyue's side. "Mother, April, let me sleep with my eldest cousin from now on. It'll be better if we can look after each other at night. It's inconvenient for April because she has a baby."

Liu Ruyun is only one year younger than Liu Yiyue. They grew up together and have a very deep sisterly bond.

Madam Feng looked at Liu Ruyun, whose children were all doing well. "Alright, you sisters grew up together and have a good relationship. With you taking care of them, I'm very relieved."

"Mom was planning to sleep with your cousin, but since you want to go, you can go."

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, but Liu Siyue didn't leave. "Mom, why didn't I see Sister-in-law Zaohua come to work this afternoon?"

"Oh, your sister-in-law Zaohua can't come. It's inconvenient for her to work while she's taking care of her child."

Your Aunt Yu went to the county town; she said Yu Feng was injured and she needed to take care of him.

"Mom, I have something to tell you. Do you think I should tell Sister-in-law Zaohua?"

"What is it? Tell me, let your mother hear it."

"Yu Feng is keeping a mistress outside, and she's about to give birth. Aunt Yu went there to take care of her."

"April, you can't say things like that carelessly. Yu Feng is a very well-behaved kid; he would never do such a thing."

"Mother, nothing is impossible. Since I came back, I haven't heard of Yu Fenghui coming here."

I witnessed and heard this with my own eyes and ears.

Liu Yue then recounted what she had seen and heard during her meal at Shili Xiang Restaurant.

"You mean Aunt Yu knew about this all along, and that she and her son kept it from Zaohua?"

Yes, that's exactly it.

"I really didn't expect that Yu Feng would turn bad while working outside. Aunt Yu's actions are really unethical."

Poor Zao Hua was still kept in the dark, pouring her heart out to them, mother and son.

No wonder they live such a hard life; they're all using their money to support mistresses.

"Mom, do you think I should tell Sister-in-law Zaohua about this? I don't want her to be fooled for the rest of her life."

"So what are you going to say? Zaohua is completely devoted to Yu Feng. If you don't handle it well, she might even resent you."

"Don't worry about that, Mother. I've already thought it through. Yu Feng is injured, isn't he? I'll take Sister-in-law Zao Hua to see him and let her catch them in the act, leaving them no room for argument."

Sister-in-law Zaohua must really want to go, but I don't know what excuse Aunt Yu is using to stop her.

"Zaohua is a good child, hardworking and honest. She shouldn't be bullied like this."

Have you thought about what will happen after this unspoken understanding is revealed?

"That depends on Sister-in-law Zaohua herself. If she doesn't want to be with Yu Feng anymore, we'll help her. If she doesn't care and still wants to be with Yu Feng, then there's nothing we can do. It's her own choice."

"We can't control how she lives her life from now on."

"It's truly unpredictable how people can be so honest and kind. It's despicable that this mother and son could do such a thing."

"Mother, Second Uncle, there is one more thing I need to tell you. This must be kept a secret. You must not tell any outsiders, not a single person."

"What could be so important? Your second uncle and I promise we won't tell." Madam Feng and Liu Dawang sat upright, their faces serious.

"Last time I went to the county town to see the county magistrate's wife, she said that the imperial court might be about to change, and told us to stock up on more grain. I guess there might be a war."

So I plan to talk to the village chief and clan leader to get the village ready as soon as possible.

"Weren't we supposed to keep it a secret? Now that you've said that, everyone knows."
