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

Liu Siyue looked confident and said, "Look at their dilapidated house. What's there to miss? It leaks in the summer and drafts in the winter. They don't even dare to sleep soundly, for fear that the house will collapse and crush them to death if they close their eyes."

I gave them money so they could find a place to build a new house and live there. What could they possibly object to?

Is there anyone who doesn't like money or living in a new house?

Don't worry, as long as the money is right, there's nothing we can't accomplish.

"If our family wants to build a workshop or do anything else in the future, we won't have to worry about so many things or hide from people."

"We'll listen to you, you can make the decision."

"Okay, I'll talk to the village chief when he gets back."

Early the next morning, Zaohua packed her things, took her child, and went to her parents' home.

I shouldn't tell my parents about my divorce yet; I'll wait until she moves in.

She raised her hand and knocked on her parents' door. After only two knocks, the door opened from the inside. "Zaohua, why are you here so early with the baby?"

"Mother, let's go inside and talk."

"Okay, come in quickly."

"Has my little brother gone to work?"

"Your younger brother is learning charcoal making from them, and he says he's very busy and won't be back at night."

"What brings you here so early with your child?"

"Mother, Uncle Village Chief is going to the county town today. I plan to go with him to see my husband. He injured his leg, and I don't know how he is now. I'm a little worried."

My mother knows I've never traveled far from home. If the village chief hadn't gone today, I wouldn't have dared to go alone; I was afraid I wouldn't have made it back.

"Yes, you should go see your son-in-law. With someone to guide you, I'll feel at ease."

"Mom, I'll leave Gouwa here with you. Please look after him for a day. I brought some fine grains with me; you can cook him some porridge."

"Go ahead, Mother will definitely take good care of the child for you."

Go and tell your mother-in-law and son-in-law that our family has now settled in Liujia Village. Tell them to rest assured and recover in the county town, and that we will take care of you at home, so there's no need to worry.

"Okay, I understand."

She left her house and went straight to the village chief's house. His door wasn't open yet, but there were already voices coming from the yard, so she stood outside and waited.

The sound of horses' hooves rang out, and a horse-drawn carriage arrived. The village chief heard the noise, came out carrying a bundle, and the two got into the carriage. They soon arrived in the county town.

Upon arriving at the yamen, Registrar Yang was puzzled to see Liu Jinsheng. Hadn't this man just come yesterday? Why was he here again today?

"My lord, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"Didn't you complete the household registration process yesterday? What brings you here today?"

"Yesterday I processed the household registration for another person, and today I'm processing her household registration."

"What's wrong with her?"

After the village chief gave a brief introduction, Clerk Yang understood, "Could it be that the incident at the Shili Xiang Restaurant yesterday was about her?"

"It is indeed I, the commoner."

"So, according to this logic, that mother and child no longer own land or property in your Liujia Village, and therefore cannot be registered there!"

"Yes, we'll cancel their household registrations today as well."

"Is everything ready? I'll get it done for you right away."

"Everything's ready, everything's ready." Liu Jinsheng handed over the items.

Registrar Yang quickly completed the task, handing over the household registration books and other documents to them. Liu Jinsheng hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

"Village Chief Liu, the feng shui of your village is bad! One thing after another happens. From now on, girls will have to keep their eyes open when looking for husbands and sons will have to get married!"

Go back and properly educate the villagers, so they can all put their minds on the right path and live a good life.

Liu Jinsheng was ashamed. "The registrar is right, the registrar is right. I will definitely educate the villagers properly when I get back." Before leaving, he didn't forget to put 100 coins on the table.

"Zaohua, everything is settled, and no one has any room for regret."

Yesterday I borrowed 1 tael and 2 mace of silver from you. I just spent 100 cash on some errands. Here is 1 tael and 1 mace of silver. Take it.

Zao Hua took the silver and took out 20 coins. "Uncle Village Chief, I know that people in the village have to give you a tip when they ask you for a favor. Take these 20 coins. We can't break the rules."

"How could I take your money, kid? It's not easy for you to raise a child alone. Keep it for yourself. Gouwa is still young, and there will be many expenses in the future."

"But……"

"No buts. April specially brought me here today, so it wasn't hard work at all."

Quickly put the silver away, lest someone covet it.

Is there anything else you want to buy? If not, let's go back.

"Let's go back, I don't need to buy anything."

Just before lunchtime, Qingye returned to Liujia Village with the village chief and Zaohua.

On the way back, the village chief was thinking about what he should say if the Yu family mother and son came to the village.

After the village chief finished his meal at home, he went directly to the clan chief's house to tell him what had happened in the village. The clan chief listened and shook his head and sighed, saying, "These people, if they have a little money, they get arrogant and don't know who they are."

"Jinsheng, when the coal in our village is sold, each family will get a good share. When it's time to distribute the money, you should give them a little warning and not let them think they're something just because they have a little money."

"My uncle is right. I've thought about this too. We need to give him a talking-to."

After arriving home, Zaohua went straight to her parents' house. "Mom, I'm back."

"Why are you back so soon? Did you meet your son-in-law?"

"Mother, I have something to tell you, but Father is still injured, so don't let him know yet."

Zao Hua originally planned to tell her parents after moving, but on the way back, she thought about it all the way. The Yu family mother and son would soon find their way to the village. Rather than letting her parents find out from others, she thought it would be better to tell them herself so that they could be mentally prepared in advance.

"Zaohua, has something serious happened? Tell your mother, don't bear it alone, our family will help you figure something out."

Zao Hua knelt down in front of her mother with a thud, "Your daughter is unfilial and has disgraced you."

"Daughter, get up quickly, what happened?"

"Mother, I've divorced Yu Feng, and Gouwa has severed ties with him. Now Gouwa has my surname and will live with me from now on."

Gouwa isn't called Gouwa anymore. I asked the village chief to give him a new name; his name is Bai Jiasheng.

Zao Hua finished explaining everything in one breath, and immediately felt much relieved.

After hearing this, Bai's mother felt dizzy. What had she just heard? Her daughter had gotten a divorce!

What exactly happened? Why the divorce? Why can't they live a good life together? A million questions flooded Bai's mother's mind.

"My dear daughter, you're not joking with your mother, are you?"

"Mother, what I said is true. They have been lying to me all along. Yu Feng has been keeping a mistress in the county town behind my back, and they have even had a son."

The claim that his leg was broken was a lie; his mother-in-law wasn't there to take care of him, but rather to take care of his mistress who had just given birth.

Mrs. Bai couldn't believe it. How could their chosen son-in-law have turned out like this? "Daughter, did you hear about it, or did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Mother, would I lie to you about this? I saw it with my own eyes. Yu Feng said some very hurtful things. He didn't treat me like a wife at all. He treated me like a maid who served his mother."

If you don't believe me, Mother, you can ask April and the village chief; they were both there at the time.

After hearing my story, the village chief immediately stood up for me and helped me get a divorce from Yu Feng.

The house, the land, and the son all belonged to me, and he compensated me with five taels of silver.

Today, the village chief and I went to handle the relevant paperwork.

Zaohua showed the household registration document to her mother, who was illiterate but thought it looked the same as her family's household registration book.
