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

When Liu Tiedan and Liu Dachui heard that the village chief and clan chief were to be invited, they knew how ruthless the current village chief, Liu Jinsheng, was. None of their families had participated in the road construction, and he simply refused to accept their red fruit. Even if you carried all the fruit to his house, he could throw it away without any regard for kinship.

They knew full well that if they invited the village chief and clan head over, they would definitely be in trouble.

"Uncle Dawang, April, we are all of the same clan, you can't do this."

This time we were confused and blinded by greed, and we did something wrong. We will accept any punishment or beating as you see fit; we have no complaints. Please, do not invite the village chief and clan head."

After they finished speaking, they kowtowed loudly, but no one paid them any attention. They could keep kowtowing as long as they wanted, because the sisters Ruxue and Ruyu had already run out to call for help.

Today the weather is sunny and clear, with not a cloud in the sky. The golden sun shines on the earth, and birds chirp incessantly on the branches, making people feel exceptionally relaxed.

Yesterday, after the village chief and the group leader finished discussing matters, they were both laughing heartily. It seems that the prosperity of their Liu clan is just around the corner.

The two were so excited that they couldn't sleep that night. Lying in bed with their wives, they dreamed of a bright future.

Seeing that the group leader always had a big grin on his face, the grandmother said with a smile, "I've lived with you for most of my life, and I've never seen you this happy before."

"How could I not be happy? Our Liu clan has produced a capable person who will lead our entire clan to prosperity and forge a new path."

As the patriarch of the Liu clan, if I can see my clan members improve day by day and the clan grow stronger day by day in my lifetime, and if there are a few more capable descendants, then even in the afterlife I can give an account to my ancestors.

Thinking back to what the old clan chief said to me on the day I took over as clan chief, I can confidently say to him when I see him again, "Clan chief, I have not let you down, and I have not brought shame upon the Liu clan ancestors."

"The girl is capable; she's always out and about and has seen a lot. We're all old and stuck in this small place; we don't have much experience."

All we can do is support our daughter. Whatever she wants to do, we'll do everything we can to create the conditions for her, so that her hard work won't go to waste.

"Old woman, you're right. I'm worried that some of the village's troublemakers might cause some trouble and offend the girl, making her feel disheartened. That would be a real problem."

"You're right. Jin Sheng should give the villagers a good talking-to and discourage them from causing trouble."

"I talked to Jinsheng about this yesterday, but there are a few families in the village who don't know what's good for them. It's really worrying."

"Stop thinking about this and that. You're getting on in years. It's time to start thinking about finding a successor and training him slowly."

If there's a meeting tomorrow, and after Jin Sheng gives them a dressing down, if there are still those who don't know what's good for them, I think they don't need to stay in this village anymore.

"Alright, go to sleep now, we have important things to do tomorrow."

Liu Jinsheng was also lying in bed talking to his wife. "Honey, stop talking and go to sleep. We have a meeting tomorrow, so don't be listless then."

"Dongmei, what should I do if I'm happy but can't sleep?"

"Don't think too much. Close your eyes and you'll fall asleep soon."

Liu Jinsheng kept opening and closing his eyes. He nudged his wife with his elbow, "Dongmei, I still can't sleep, what should I do?"

"What can I do if you can't sleep? You can't just not let me sleep either."

"I mean, how about we do something else?"

"What can you do in the middle of the night? You're not hungry and want me to cook for you, are you?"

"What are you thinking? Who said I'm hungry?"

"So what do you want to do?"

Liu Jinsheng pulled back his own blanket, reached out and lifted Pan Dongmei's blanket, pulling her into his arms.

"Hey, you rough old man, keep it down! You might wake the kids. If they hear this, how am I supposed to face them?"

"I know, I know," Liu Jinsheng said impatiently.

When Liu Jinsheng woke up the next day, he looked at the beautiful weather and listened to the chirping of birds. He used to find birdsong annoying, but today he found it exceptionally pleasant and melodious.

Pan Dongmei got up early too and bumped into her daughter-in-law at the kitchen door. "Mom, why are you up so early? I'll make breakfast."

"Your father-in-law has something important to do today, so I'll get up and make breakfast with you."

"Mom, you seem to be in a good mood today, and you look great. Is there something good happening at home?"

Pan Dongmei touched her face, wondering if her complexion had improved.

"Xiangchun, do you really think your mother looks better today?"

"Yes, Mother, would your wife lie to you?"

"It's probably because of the worries about paying taxes a few days ago."

Pan Dongmei was also happy and used the excuse that something good had happened and she was in a good mood to brush it off.

After finishing his breakfast, Liu Jinsheng planned to convene a meeting of the villagers.

The villagers were having a hard time. Every family ate only two meals a day, which were mostly just watery soup and a simple dish of intestines.

Liu Jinsheng's family is a little better off. Although they don't eat well, they can barely get enough to eat. In the morning, they eat a porridge of black flour and wild vegetables with a little bit of pickled vegetable bits. Even this is something that most families in the village can't afford.

Liu Jinsheng had just picked up a bowl of porridge and taken a few sips when someone knocked on the courtyard gate. "Uncle Village Chief, is Uncle Village Chief home? It's me, Ruxue."

"It seems to be Ruxue. I'll go open the door. She must have something to do so early in the morning." Pan Dongmei got up and walked out.

"Ruxue, come in quickly, your uncle is here, he's having breakfast, he's about to go to a meeting."

"Ru Xue, please sit down. What brings you here to see your uncle?"

"Uncle Village Chief, something happened at my house last night, and I need you to come and handle it."

Upon hearing that something had happened, Liu Jinsheng immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks. "What happened?"

"Last night, our house was broken into. There were eight thieves in total, two of whom were from our village: Liu Tiedan and Liu Dachui."

We've caught everyone who came. We didn't bother you last night because it was too late, and we've been dragging it out until now.

"Come on, I'll go with you and see what kind of bastards they are."

"Uncle Village Chief, there's no rush. Finish your rice first."

Liu Jinsheng picked up the bowl and slurped down half a bowl of porridge in two big gulps.

He was worried about this matter with the clan chief yesterday, and just one night later, before he could even warn the villagers, trouble struck.

Sigh! If this isn't handled properly, and April gets really angry and stops trying to make money for the villagers, things will be really messed up. All those dreams for the future will be ruined.

"Ru Xue, let's go to the clan chief's house first and invite him along."

"No need to go, Ruyu has already gone to invite her, she's probably on her way to my house right now."

As Liu Jinsheng walked, he asked Ruxue about the general situation, and Ruxue gave him a brief explanation.

Liu Jinsheng was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode. These two bastards dared to collude with outsiders to harm the villagers. If they were left in the village, they would be a menace.

The village is going to do some big things in the future. What if they reveal this or collude with outsiders to sabotage it?

While thinking about it, I arrived at Liu Dawang's house. As soon as I entered, I saw eight people kneeling on the ground. The old clan chief and Liu Dawang and others were sitting in chairs, while the others stood to the side.

Liu Ruyun quickly moved a chair for the village chief to sit on.
