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

The village chief struck the gong, and the village fell silent instantly. "I've gathered everyone here today because a major event happened in the village last night."

Do you see Liu Tiedan and Liu Dachui?

Last night, the two of them conspired with outsiders to steal from Da Wang's house. They were carrying a machete and a dagger, and they not only wanted to steal things, but also wanted to kill someone.

Such people must not remain in the village. According to village and clan rules, they should be expelled from the clan and driven out of the village.

I hope everyone will take this as a warning. If anyone is not convinced and wants to test the law, feel free to try. I will not only enforce the village and clan rules, but also let them experience the ironclad laws of the imperial court.

I've already decided on how to deal with these six people: each of them will be fined five taels of silver as compensation to Da Wang's family, and then they will have to work for the village for a month.

For the next month, they will live in a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village, supporting themselves. The villagers will provide them with tools so they can help us with our work.

If anyone discovers any misconduct on their part, please report it.

"Village chief, they're so bad, why don't you hand them over to the authorities?"

"We originally planned to hand it over to the government, but after much consideration, we decided to handle it this way."

Anyone who doesn't understand can come and ask me privately.

"Tiedan, my son!"

"Big Hammer, my son!"

Two women, crying and shouting, pushed their way into the crowd, looking the two men up and down. "Look what you've done to my son! And now you want to exterminate our entire clan and drive us out of the village? You're trying to wipe us out!"

"Village chief, you can't do this!"

"Auntie, their current predicament is largely due to you. If you had spoiled and protected them, how could they have become so lawless and arrogant?"

These are village rules, and they can't be changed.

Liu Tiedan's family was small, consisting of just him and his mother.

Liu Dachui's family is quite complicated. His parents are still alive, and he has an older brother and sister-in-law, as well as a younger brother.

Liu Dachui's older brother, Liu Dabang, squeezed through the crowd and came to the village chief. "Village chief, I want to separate from my parents and sever ties with them. Please don't send us away."

My wife and I have always been honest and law-abiding citizens; we've never done anything wrong.

The reason why Da Chui is in this situation is because his parents spoiled him. The third son, San Zhui, will probably follow in Da Chui's footsteps in the future.

I can't let them drag me down any longer. I have a wife and children to support. They've been like leeches sucking my blood all these years. I've had enough."

"Big stick, rules are rules, and no one can break them. If you had separated your families before, this matter wouldn't have involved you."

"If you want to divide the family property, that's your family matter; you should discuss it internally."

Liu Dabang was furious with his good-for-nothing younger brother who idled away his days. He stepped forward and punched Liu Dachui twice without saying a word. "You piece of trash, why don't you just die? You don't want to be a decent person, and you're dragging others down with you."

"Father, Mother, our family is going to be expelled from the village and expelled from the clan. Are you satisfied?"

Today, in front of everyone, I am severing all ties with you and disowning you.

Liu Dabang's parents were unwilling to separate from their family. They knew that the family depended entirely on their eldest son's family. If they separated from their eldest son's family, how would they survive? You are being extremely unfilial.

"Dad, tell me honestly, haven't I been filial enough to you all these years? What have Da Chui and Da Chui done for you? They're both your sons, why are you so biased?"

"It's not that Dad is biased, but Da Chui and Da Zhui are both young and not married yet. You are the eldest brother, so you have to take on more responsibility."

Big stick, even if I'm begging you, we can't divide this family property!

"Our family is about to be driven out of the village. We should stay together as a family. If anyone bullies us, will you three brothers be able to help each other?"

"Yes, eldest brother, Dad is right. This family cannot be divided. Second brother and I will definitely work hard from now on and never slack off."

"I was ignorant before, please forgive me, elder brother and sister-in-law."

Liu Dabang's wife, afraid that her husband would be easily swayed by others with just a few words, tugged at his sleeve.

Liu Dabang clenched his fists tightly. They all pretended to comply but were actually disobedient. They had been coaxing him for so many years, and now they still wanted to coax him? Did they really think he was a fool?

"Father, Mother, I'm giving you two choices: either we separate from the family and sever all ties, or you separate from them and sever all ties from now on."

"Brother, how can you force our parents like this? What kind of son are you?" Liu Dazhui said indignantly.

"Liu Dazhui, what right do you have to talk to me like that? If I hadn't been supporting you all these years, you would have turned into maggots long ago."

"Brother, are you trying to break ties with us? You're even throwing away this little bit of brotherhood?"

"Brotherhood? Do you even consider me a brother?"

Your nephews and nieces are starving, skin and bones. I brought back some food, and you all snatched it up and ate it yourselves. If you had any humanity, you wouldn't have done that.

"Father, Mother, have you made up your minds?"

The old man looked back and forth between his three sons, finally fixing his gaze on Liu Dabang. "Dachui, Dazhui, don't blame your parents for being heartless. You've both grown up and should be sensible now. We can't support you for the rest of your lives."

Today we'll divide the family property. Your mother and I will live with your eldest brother. We can't take the house and land with us. As for the things in the house, you can each take your own. There's not much to divide.

"Village chief, we'd also like to trouble you to help us write a document severing ties and dividing our family ties."

The Liu brothers, Dazhui and Dachui, cried their hearts out, "Father, you can't be so cruel! We two brothers haven't even started our own families yet, how are we supposed to live? Father, you can't abandon us!"

We have neither money nor food now; if we go out, we'll only be waiting to die.

Father, how can you bear to watch your beloved son, whom you've cherished for so many years, die?

The elderly couple were heartbroken to see their two sons crying so bitterly.

"Big Hammer, Big Cone, it's not that your father is heartless, it's just that your father and mother are getting old and really can't take care of you anymore."

"You all have hands and feet. As long as you're diligent, you can find work and have enough to eat."

"Father, as you know, I haven't done any work all these years. I have no strength and no skills. Who would want me if I went out into the world?"

"Brother and sister-in-law, please take me with you, I promise I'll be good."

"Whether you listen to me or not is not important. The key is that you are not my son, and I have no obligation to support you forever."

Liu Dazhui's face, which had been filled with pleading and sorrow, immediately turned sinister. "Father, Mother, Elder Brother, if you are so heartless, then don't blame me for being ruthless too."

He rushed to his sister-in-law, grabbed his nephew, and strangled him with his hands.

"If you want me dead, then let's all die together, hahahahaha..."

The villagers were stunned by the scene, standing there dumbfounded. The village chief, growing increasingly impatient, yelled, "What are you all standing there for? Grab those people and rescue the child!"

The villagers then realized what was happening and immediately seized Liu Dazhui, pried open his fingers, and rescued the child.

"You wicked Liu Dazhui, how dare you commit violence in public in my Liu Family Village! [The rest of the text is incomplete and likely refers to a separate incident.]"

He tied me up and took me to the ancestral hall.

Tie Dan's mother originally wanted to throw a tantrum and beg the village chief and clan chief to let her and her son stay, but now that she saw that this tactic was useless, she gave up on the idea.

She was wondering where they could go if they left Liujia Village. After thinking it over, the only place they could go was to seek refuge with her daughter.
