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

Liu Siyue spoke with great emotion, "Dear elder brothers and sisters-in-law, uncles and aunts, this is my sister, and this is her son."

Her husband left her and their child in their hometown to take care of his elderly mother. He has only seen the child once since birth.

He worked in the county town to earn money, but he didn't bring a single penny home. You can imagine how difficult life was for him and his mother.

My sister gave birth to his son, took care of his elderly mother, and managed the household chores, allowing him to work outside without any worries.

Who knew that after making money outside, he became arrogant and looked down on my sister. He actually kept a mistress outside and conspired with his mother to deceive my sister. He treated my sister as his housekeeper, to take care of his mother on his behalf, while he and his mistress hid in the county town and lived a life of luxury.

He sent word home that he had broken his leg and asked his mother to come and take care of him.

My sister was worried about her husband and wanted to come and see him, but they wouldn't let her.

My sister was so anxious at home that she fell ill and begged me to bring her and her child to the county town to see her husband.

We found out where her husband lived, and it turned out that his mistress had indeed given birth to a son for him. They were even embracing each other in broad daylight...

What's even more infuriating is that he actually told my sister to go back to the village to continue taking care of his mother, while he and his mistress would live their own little life in the city.

Everyone, tell me, isn't this kind of man despicable and shameless? He has absolutely no morals.

As a son, he was unfilial to his mother, leaving her to eat meager meals at home while he indulged in a life of luxury with women in the city. This is unfilial.

As a husband, he disregarded the bond of marriage, showing no affection or loyalty, which is unfaithful and unjust.

As a father, his neglect of his young son is unkind.

Tell me, does a man with such depraved character even deserve to be called a human being?

"Who is this guy? He's a disgrace to us men! He's tarnishing our image as men. He doesn't support his own wife and children, but keeps a mistress. I'll beat him every time I see him."

"Alas, the lives of us women are so bitter; not a single man is any good."

The men present were all indignant; they had been unjustly accused of such a serious crime.

"Tell us who this guy is? We'll teach him a lesson for you."

"I dare not. I'm afraid he'll retaliate if I tell him."

"With so many people here, what are you afraid of? We'll stand up for you."

"That's Yu Feng, the waiter at Shili Xiang Restaurant."

The manager and staff of Shili Xiang Restaurant were dumbfounded. Yu Feng, didn't he say that Chuncao was his wife? How did she become his mistress?

This young lady doesn't seem to be lying.

The guests immediately protested, "Fine, such a big restaurant as Shili Xiang employs such morally corrupt waiters. It seems the owner and manager of this restaurant are no good either."

Please don't eat here anymore. No matter how good the food is, it will make you feel nauseous.

"That's right, this restaurant is aiding and abetting evil, allowing its employees to abandon their wives and children. They don't deserve to earn our money."

The restaurant owner panicked immediately. What did this have to do with them?

"Dear guests, please listen to me."

We at the restaurant are truly unaware of this matter. Yu Feng has worked here for several years; he is clever, diligent, and conscientious in his work.

He introduced the woman to us as his wife, and we believed him. We had never met his wife before, so we were really wronged.

I can assure you all that someone as morally corrupt as Yu Feng is no longer a waiter at our Shili Xiang Restaurant from this day forward, and will never be hired again.

We apologize for our poor judgment in choosing our customers. We'll give each table a complimentary dish today; we hope you'll understand.

"Alright, we'll trust the shopkeeper this once."

"Young lady, we've all stood up for you. Comfort your sister and tell her to think positively. Not all men in this world are bad; there are many good ones."

"Thank you all for your help. It was my impulsiveness and my words were inappropriate. I apologize to everyone here."

"Alright, alright, let's not keep everyone from eating, the food's getting cold."

The hall returned to silence, but the clattering of dishes resumed.

Zao Hua was deeply moved. She had no relation to April, yet April had gone to such lengths for her. How could she possibly repay her?

"Thank you, April!"

"Sister Zaohua, don't be so polite with me. If I regret it later and come looking for you, please don't look back! That kind of person isn't worth it!"

"Even if he dies in front of me, I still won't accept it."

"What if Aunt Yu comes looking for you?"

"She has even less to do with me now. We only became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law because of her son. Now that I have no relationship with her son, what relationship do I have with her?"

"Sister-in-law is right, that makes perfect sense."

"I don't think he'll be able to keep his head around without this job. Will that woman still be with him?"

"Hurry up and eat, hurry up and eat, the food has been served for a while and it's getting cold."

After they finished their meal and paid the bill, they were about to leave when the innkeeper came out carrying a large food box. "Please wait, ladies. We are truly sorry. We really did not know that Yu Feng would do such a thing. Consider this box of pastries our apology."

"Manager, you don't need to do this. This matter has nothing to do with your restaurant. I just feel sorry for my sister and want to vent my frustration."

"Although he has no direct relationship with our restaurant, we hired him, gave him this job and the ability to earn money, and nurtured his ambition."

It's a good thing that you exposed this matter in public today; otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark.

Actually, I value Yu Feng a lot. He's quick-witted, clever, and reliable. I was even planning to promote him and give him a raise.

It's true that you can know a person's face but not their heart; you can draw a dragon or a tiger but not their bones.

"If we put him in a higher position, he might cause some serious trouble."

"Then thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper." Liu Siyue took the food box and handed it to the village chief.

"It's not easy for Qingwu to come all the way to the county town. You take Uncle Village Chief and Sister Zaohua around the town. I still have some things to take care of. Let's meet at the town gate in an hour."

"You'll be busy in April, so don't worry about us."

Liu Siyue drove the oxcart away, and Qingwu led the two of them around the county town. "Sister Zaohua, don't just focus on working in the fields and taking care of the children. You should also dress yourself up. Look how beautiful that woman is. She's in bed during her postpartum period, but she still dresses herself up neatly."

"We live in the village, what's the point of dressing up? It'll only make us a laughingstock."

"Why can't you dress up if you live in the village? You can wear nice clothes, right? Look at your clothes, patch upon patch, they're almost frayed from washing."

"Zaohua, Qingwu is right. You used to scrimp and save for them, mother and child. Now you should put yourself first and think more about yourself and your child. Only when you are well can your child be well."

"Uncle Village Chief, I understand."

"Come on, I'll take you to the fabric shop and buy you two nice outfits, and also buy some fabric for Gouwa to make some nice clothes."

Dog is so good-looking; he would look even better if he wore pretty clothes.

They say clothes make the man, and a change of clothes can make you look completely different.

When they arrived at the fabric shop, Qingwu suggested that she buy ready-made clothes, but Zaohua said that ready-made clothes were too expensive and she couldn't bear to part with them, so she bought fabric instead and made them herself.

Zao Hua had five taels of silver given to her by Yu Feng. She wanted to make clothes for her parents and younger brother. She couldn't just think about wearing new clothes for herself; her parents had suffered too much for her.

When she gets back, her parents will be heartbroken and devastated if they find out she got divorced.
