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

Liu Siyue meticulously recorded the data for each experiment. No matter how perfectly the theoretical data is written, without practical application, it's all just empty talk; there are too many variables involved.

Environmental factors and the material composition of the materials have the greatest impact.

She reviewed all the data and gave them a training session, ensuring that those responsible for charcoal burning kept it in mind and that no step could be taken lightly.

The villagers dug a total of 10 large charcoal kilns, each of which could produce 500 jin of charcoal. Liu Siyue had the large charcoal kilns fire two kilns first to see the effect.

Based on previous experience, the kiln workers dared not be careless at all, guarding the kiln day and night, not daring to close their eyes for even a moment. On the day the charcoal was ready, the quality was exceptionally good; the charcoal they produced in the smaller kilns was even better.

The villagers cheered, they had finally succeeded, they had finally succeeded.

Liu Siyue had been working for several days straight and was completely exhausted. "Uncle Village Chief, Grandpa Clan Chief, I can't go on anymore. I want to go home and sleep."

"I'll find someone to take you home right away. You should rest for a few days. Look how exhausted you are."

Liu Siyue fell fast asleep as soon as she got home, which worried her family terribly.

Liu Dawang wasn't in much better shape; his eyes were bloodshot and his eyelids were drooping.

After three days of rest and the blessing of the spiritual spring water, Liu Siyue finally recovered.

She opened her eyes and saw Madam Feng sitting in her room. "Mother, why are you sitting here all alone?"

"You silly girl, why do you have to work so hard? You don't know how to take care of your own body."

Liu Siyue smiled sweetly, "Mother, it won't happen again. The villagers have high hopes for the charcoal factory, and we can't let them down."

"Get up now that you're awake. Don't stay in bed all the time. Mom made you some old hen soup to nourish you."

"Thank you, Mother."

Mrs. Feng patted her head and helped her put on her clothes.

"April, you've finally woken up! Your second uncle has some good news for you. The first batch of 10 kilns of charcoal has been fired, and the quality is excellent. The village chief has already ordered people to build a large shed in the village and transport all the charcoal down from the mountain."

"The village chief had bamboo sheds built on the mountain, and people guarded them day and night to prevent people from sneaking up the mountain. He also arranged for people to patrol the entrance to the mountain at night."

"Okay, let everyone continue burning. I'll contact the customer to come and inspect it another day."

The charcoal-making was successful, and the people building the earthen wall at the village entrance were also making rapid progress. Such a big commotion at the entrance of Liujia Village, with a group of men shouting and yelling every day, naturally alerted the people of the neighboring village of Bainiwan.

Several men from Bainiwan went to town to find work. As they walked along the road, they heard a great commotion coming from Liujia Village. They were shouting and yelling, and it sounded quite lively. There must be a lot of people there.

They had no idea what was going on in Liujia Village. Out of curiosity, they came to see what was happening. What they saw almost made their jaws drop. Everyone was starving these days, and people avoided moving around if they could. The people of Liujia Village must have nothing better to do than build mud walls here.

"Hurry up and leave. Don't bother looking. What's so interesting about building mud walls? If you go too late, you won't find any work, and your family will go hungry again."

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly. Let them do whatever they want, what does it have to do with us?"

Before they could even get close, they turned back and continued on their way to the town.

When they came back from work in the evening, they could still hear the commotion coming from this area.

This went on for several days. When they got back, they told the village chief, Wei Yuanguang, about it. "Village chief, we went to work in town these past few days and saw a group of people building an earthen wall at the entrance of Liujia Village. We don't know what they're up to."

Wei Yuanguang narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you ask?"

"We're in a rush to get to work in the morning, and we're exhausted when we get back in the evening, so we didn't ask."

"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."

Wei Yuanguang thought it over and over, but he still didn't know what they wanted to do by building an earthen wall.

Since the new village chief of Liujia Village took office, he has caused quite a few troubles, and he decided to go and see him tomorrow.

The next morning, Wei Yuanguang strolled out of the village and headed straight for Liujia Village.

He heard the commotion from afar, and when he got closer, he saw that, just as the villagers had said, they were building an earthen wall.

The man standing on the earthen wall was tamping the earth with a stone pillar. As he wiped his sweat, he saw someone approaching from afar. "Look, someone's coming!"

Everyone looked over, and only when the person got closer could they see that it was the village chief of Bainiwan.

Liu Baozhu wiped his sweat, slammed the iron shovel in his hand, and crossed his right foot over his left. "Isn't this Village Chief Wei from Bainiwan? What brings you to our Liu Family Village?"

"Ah, I was just out for a stroll when I heard some noise coming from your area, so I came to check it out."

"Why are so many of you building an earthen wall here?"

Everyone listened to Liu Baozhu, who had already received instructions from the village chief. "Now that everyone has nothing to do, the village chief told us to build an earthen wall to enclose the village. You should know that something happened in our village a while ago."

Someone came to our village to steal and even tried to hurt us. The village chief built the mud wall to ensure the safety of the villagers.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuanguang thought to himself that this must have been Liu's idea. Her family was the richest in the village, so who else would a thief target if not her?

Life is tough for everyone these days, but her family is rich and has plenty of food, making them easy prey in everyone's eyes.

"Do you get paid for doing this kind of work?"

"Village Chief Wei, what are you saying? We're all just working for our own village. The village chief is doing this for our safety, why would we ask for wages?"

"No wages, I'll work for free!"

"Yes, why would we need money to work in the village?"

They're all a bunch of ignorant fools who were fooled by their village chief. They didn't even think about it properly. If a thief came, would he steal from their house? What do they have? They could only steal their broken pots and pans, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Liu had given the new village chief countless benefits, allowing him to deceive the villagers and use their safety as a pretext to protect her family.

Since we're already here, let's go in and see Liu Maoquan. He lost his position as village chief, and I wonder how he's doing now.

Wei Guang walked inside with his hands behind his back. "Baozhu, should we stop him? What if he finds out our secret when he gets in?"

The village chief didn't say anyone couldn't enter the village, but he had to ask what he wanted to do there.

Liu Baozhu quickened his pace and caught up with Wei Yuanguang. "Village Chief Wei, what brings you to our village?"

Wei Yuanguang turned his head to look at Liu Baozhu, "Are you treating me like a thief? I'm the village chief of Bainiwan Village, do I look like a thief to you?"

"Village Chief Wei, you've misunderstood me! I just thought you were getting old and had trouble walking."

If you have any questions, you can ask us. If we know the answer, we'll tell you. If we don't know, you can go in later. This way, you won't have to go through unnecessary trouble.

I meant well, and I was thinking of you.

This person is quite eloquent, and their reasons are quite convincing.

"What's your name?"

Liu Baozhu smiled憨憨地, "Liu Baozhu."

"Liu Baozhu, right? I don't have any questions. We've already come all the way to your village entrance, so let's go in and see our old friend."

Are you still wondering who my old buddy is?

Liu Baozhu was a little embarrassed; he really did want to ask.

"I'm going to see your former village chief, Liu Maoquan. Now you understand? May I leave?"

"You can go now, you can go now, don't keep me from seeing your old friend."

Once Liu Baozhu saw that Wei Yuanguang had disappeared, he quickly went to report to the village chief.

The village chief praised Liu Baozhu to the skies, and Liu Baozhu was so proud of himself that he practically held his tail between his legs.

He can't just block outsiders from entering the village, can he? The more he does that, the more suspicious people will become.

Liu Jinsheng believed that Liu Maoquan knew what was important and what he should and shouldn't say.
