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

Seeing that the village chief was there, saving her the trouble of making another trip, Liu Siyue said, "Uncle Village Chief, it's good that you're here. I also have something to discuss with you."

"What is it? Tell me, I'm listening."

"Yes, yes, it's time to do it. Once the household registration is done, we can also get the village's share."

How about I go to the county town with you tomorrow and get this done?

There are vacant houses and land in the village now. Do you want to buy a house or a piece of land?

There are 8 mu of paddy fields and 5 mu and 9 mu of dry land, but they are not in the same area.

Liu Jinsheng thought to himself, "Nowadays, not just anyone can settle in our village. If there's one more person, the other villagers will get one less share of the money."

Liu Siyue thought to herself, "The village chief is very shrewd; he's sensible."

"I want all of this land: 8 mu of paddy fields and 5 mu of dry land. Uncle, please keep it for me and don't sell it to anyone else. Put the 9 mu of dry land in my eldest sister's name."

How much does all this land cost in total?

"Paddy fields are more expensive, costing 10 taels per mu, while dry land costs 6 taels per mu."

Liu Siyue calculated that it totaled 164 taels and immediately gave the silver to the village chief.

The next morning, Qingwu drove the oxcart, taking Liu Siyue, the village chief, Zaohua, and his son to the county town.

On the way, the village chief asked Zaohua, "Yu Feng's wife, how is your father's leg now?"

"Dr. Wu examined my father and said he's recovering very well; he just needs to rest and recuperate."

"Yu Feng hasn't been back to the village in a long time. Are you taking the children to see him this time?"

"Yes, my husband injured his leg, so we took my mother-in-law to take care of him. We were worried about him, so we took the children to visit him by oxcart in April."

It's been half a year, and the child still doesn't know what his father looks like.

"Yu Feng is really something. No matter how busy he is, he should always make time to come back and see you and your son."

"When I go this time, I'll have a good talk with him."

"Maybe it's hard to take leave from a restaurant. It's not easy to find a job these days. Taking a day off means losing a day's wages. He probably just wants to earn more money for his family."

"Money is not as important as you and your son. You only come back once every month or two, so it doesn't cost much."

Zao Hua fell silent. She thought so too, but her husband just wouldn't come back. Her mother-in-law always said that coming back once would cost too much, and that saving money was like earning it back.

Liu Siyue was itching to make a move. She never expected that she could bring the village chief along this time, and catch him in the act of adultery and his child in bed, leaving the adulterous couple nowhere to hide.

She thought to herself, "I'll tear off Aunt Yu's hypocritical mask. Then there'll be a good show to watch, hahaha~." She chuckled to herself, "I can't wait!"

Along the way, Gouwa didn't cry or fuss in his mother's arms. He fell asleep quickly as the car swayed and rocked.

Liu Siyue originally wanted to give Zaohua a heads-up on the way to the county town, but since the village chief was there, she couldn't say anything more.

The carriage soon arrived in the county town. Qingwu stopped the oxcart. "Miss, shall we go to the county government office first, or to the restaurant?"

"Go to the county government office to register your household first."

Liu Jinsheng had visited a few days ago and was now familiar with the place. Liu Yue followed him into the county government office.

Yang, the registrar, had a deep impression of Liu Siyue and also of Liu Jinsheng. He wondered what the two of them were doing here.

Liu Jinsheng stepped forward with a smile and said, "Registrar, how have you been lately?"

It's said that you don't hit a smiling face, and Clerk Yang's attitude was very good this time. He knew that Liu Siyue was the magistrate's wife's savior and had a relationship with the magistrate, so he asked, "What brings you here today?"

"We are here today to process the land title and household registration."

Registrar Yang pointed at Liu Siyue and said, "Have her land deed and household registration processed. I remember she had done it before."

Liu Siyue quickly explained, "Registrar, it's not for me, it's for my eldest sister."

"Did you bring everything? According to the rules, you need to come in person to register your household registration. Why didn't your eldest sister come?"

"My lord, my elder sister has divorced her husband's family and is now seriously ill, unable to attend in person. I beg you, clerk, to do me this favor."

Liu Jinsheng quickly handed over 100 coins, "To buy the master a cup of tea."

But Clerk Yang did not accept his money; instead, he pushed the money back to him.

Liu Jinsheng panicked, thinking that Clerk Yang thought it was too little and wouldn't do the job. He was about to take out another 100 coins when he heard Clerk Yang say, "There is a reason for this, so the official will make an exception and do it for you."

Give me the things!

Liu Siyue and Liu Jinsheng quickly thanked them and handed over the items.

The household registration and land deed were completed quickly. After thanking them, the two hurried away. Registrar Yang told them to take the money, but the two left even faster.

Registrar Yang picked up the 100 coins on the table. The Liu sisters' lives were really miserable. What kind of men did they marry?

As soon as they left the county government office, Qingwu rushed up to them, "Miss, is everything done?"

"Okay, it's all taken care of. Let's go to Shili Xiang now."

It wasn't lunchtime yet, and there were no customers in the restaurant. Liu Siyue, along with Zaohua and the village chief, entered the restaurant, where the waiters were wiping the tables and chairs.

When the waiter saw that someone had arrived, he quickly stopped what he was doing. "Gentlemen, would you like to have lunch? It's not lunchtime yet, the kitchen is preparing the ingredients."

"We're not here for food, we just want to ask you about someone. Where does Yu Feng, one of the waiters at your restaurant, live?"

The waiter sized them up. "Who are you? What do you want with Yu Feng?"

"We're from the same village as Yu Feng, and our village chief needs to speak with him."

Liu Siyue led the village chief to the front, and Liu Jinsheng nodded in agreement. "I am the village chief of their village, and I do have something to discuss with him."

"Yu Feng has taken the past few days off; his wife is about to give birth."

If you want to find him, you have to go to where he lives. He lives in Shuitiao Hutong on the south side of the street, it's the fifth house inside.

Zao Hua quickly asked, "How many Yu Fengs do you have in your shop?"

"We only have one Yu Feng in our shop, do you think there are 10 or 8 others?"

Zao Hua was immediately dismayed. Her husband worked at Shili Xiang Restaurant, so how could the employee say that his wife was about to give birth?

As the group left the restaurant, Zao Hua'er grabbed Liu Siyue's arm. "Siyue, did we ask the wrong person? I'm still standing here perfectly fine, how could I be about to give birth?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Maybe there's some misunderstanding. Let's go and see what's going on."

The village chief quickly comforted her, "Zaohua, don't overthink it. Your uncle is here. Your uncle will stand up for you."

Liu Jinsheng also sensed that something was wrong and that something bad might be about to happen.

They boarded the oxcart and soon arrived at Shuitiao Hutong on South Street, where they came to a steady stop in front of the fifth house.

Zao Hua acted quickly, immediately getting off the oxcart. After confirming it was the fifth house, she went up and knocked on the door. Liu Siyue pulled Cun aside to hide, and Qingwu also moved the oxcart back.

Aunt Yu was washing diapers for the baby in the yard when she heard a knock on the door. She wiped her wet hands on her clothes.

She opened the door and was stunned to see Zao Hua standing there. She stammered, completely taken aback by Zao Hua's arrival. "Zao...Zao Hua, what brings you here? How did you find your way here?"

"Mother, my husband is injured. I was worried about you, so I brought the child to check on you." With that, Zaohua started to walk inside.

"Zaohua, Zaohua, you can't go in, Feng'er doesn't live here."

I work here as a helper. If I go in and disturb the master's family, my mother will lose her job.

"You go back first. Feng'er's meager wages can't support our whole family. I'll be going back in a few days."

Zao Hua ignored her and walked inside with the child in her arms. Liu Siyue and the village chief quickly followed.

Zao Hua felt uneasy. What should she do if there really was a woman giving birth inside?

Aunt Yu was dumbfounded. Why did the village chief and April come?
