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

Yu Feng stormed to his front door and banged on it loudly. Aunt Yu, standing at the door, didn't dare open it immediately, but asked through the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me, open the door!" Yu Feng's tone was unfriendly. When Aunt Yu heard her son's voice, she quickly opened the door.

Yu Feng entered the yard with a dark face, threw the basket he was carrying on the ground, and red eggs rolled all over the ground.

Aunt Yu felt sorry for the eggs and quickly picked them up and put them back in the basket.

"Feng'er, didn't you go to work? You don't look well, what happened?"

"The restaurant owner fired me, and I'm out of work now." Yu Feng slumped to the ground, hugging his knees.

"Feng'er, why did the restaurant fire you? There has to be a reason!"

"The restaurant manager found out about my affair. What's worse, that bitch Zaohua caused a scene at the restaurant and almost ruined the business. The manager was furious and refused to hire me."

"Mother, now we've lost our house and land in the village, and I've lost my job. We can't just let this go. We have to go find that bitch, settle accounts, get our house and land back, and give her a divorce decree."

"Can we get them back? The village chief made all the decisions, and you agreed to them back then."

"I did agree, but I didn't let her mess up my work!"

If we can't find work in the county town in the future, we'll have to go back to the village. We can't just stay in the county town and live off our savings!

"We must get the village chief to give us justice, otherwise my son and I won't even have a place to live."

"When are we going back?"

"Let's leave now; the sooner the better!"

After listening to the conversation between the mother and son, Chuncao quickly ran back to bed.

Yu Feng entered the house. "Chuncao, my mother and I are going back to the village. You take good care of the children at home and close the door."

"Husband, what are you doing back in the village? Aren't you going to work at the restaurant?"

"Take good care of yourself during your postpartum period and look after your son. I'll tell you everything else when I get back."

"Alright, then you and your mother go and come back quickly."

Yu Feng and his mother walked to the city gate and boarded a carriage bound for Sifang Town.

Upon arriving in town, they didn't see any oxcarts from Liujia Village, so they boarded an oxcart from Bainiwan. When they reached the fork in the road, the mother and son got off and headed towards Liujia Village.

Before they even reached the village entrance, the mother and son could hear a clanging sound from afar, accompanied by a cacophony of voices.

When the two arrived at the village entrance, they saw a group of people building an earthen wall. The people on the wall saw Yu Feng and his mother and quickly reported to Liu Baozhu, "Baozhu, Yu Feng and his mother have returned."

When Liu Baozhu took a look, he saw that it was indeed the mother and son. The village chief had instructed that they were not allowed to enter the village, and said that they were no longer villagers.

They were clearly villagers, so why did the village chief say they weren't? He couldn't understand it either, so he figured he should just listen to the village chief.

He and a few others stood at the village entrance, blocking the road.

"Baozhu, what are you doing building this mud wall?"

"We have nothing to do, so we build earthen walls to exercise."

Where are you all headed?

"Isn't that a redundant question? Of course we should go back to the village!" Yu Feng said impatiently, his tone not very friendly.

"Which village are you going back to? This is Liujia Village. Have you come to the wrong place?"

"Baozhu, are you deliberately causing trouble? Move aside! Let us in!"

"I'm really sorry, but you're not from Liujia Village, so you can't come in."

"How can we not be from Liujia Village? We've lived in the village for decades, and you're still lying through your teeth. Everyone here knows us."

"Make way, we have important business to attend to back in the village."

"I'm really sorry, but we can't let you pass. The village chief has instructed us that you and your child are no longer residents of Liujia Village and cannot enter the village."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the village chief say such a thing? I want to see the village chief."

"I'm talking nonsense. How could I dare to stop you if the village chief hadn't given the order? We're all neighbors. You wait here while I send someone to invite the village chief."

The mother and son looked at each other, wondering what was going on. Liu Baozhu's words didn't seem like a lie.

"Yu Feng, what's going on? Why won't the village chief let you into the village? He even said you're not from Liujia Village anymore?"

"I didn't know! If I hadn't come back today, I wouldn't have known I wasn't from Liujia Village anymore. It's so inexplicable!"

"Baozhu, has something happened in the village? Why are they building an earthen wall here?"

"Nothing happened. The mud wall was built because a petty thief broke into the village a few days ago."

"Building an earthen wall won't help; those thieves will still come!"

"How would we know? We'll just follow the village chief's orders!"

Before long, the village chief arrived.

"Uncle Village Chief, you've finally arrived! Baozhu and the others said you wouldn't let us into the village, and that we're no longer from Liujia Village. What's going on?"

"Quickly make them clear the way and let us in. We have something important to discuss with you today."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief. It had finally happened. "Aunt Yu, Yu Feng, to tell you the truth, your household registration is no longer in Liujia Village. I have already cancelled your household registration in Liujia Village."

If you have time, you should hurry to the county government office to register your household registration. If the government finds out, you'll be treated as vagrants and might even be sent to work in the mines.

"Village chief, why are you canceling our accounts without our consent?"

"Aunt Yu, Yu Feng, I don't want to do this either, but I have no choice."

As you all know, I haven't been the village chief for very long, and I'm not very familiar with the affairs of the government.

Two days ago, I took Zaohua to the county town to handle the household registration, land and house deeds. The registrar told me that the houses and land deeds under your names have all been given to Zaohua. You have nothing in the village. According to the laws of our dynasty, if you want to settle in the village, you must have land or houses. You have neither. So the registrar canceled your household registration.

I even pleaded with the registrar, but the law is the law, and there's really nothing I can do.

The mother and son collapsed to the ground. They were now unregistered residents, homeless people, and might even be forced to work in the mines. The mother and son cried their hearts out, their grief was heartbreaking.

The villagers looked at each other in disbelief. Had these two been out of their minds? How could they give their house and land deeds to Zaohua? For the villagers, these two things were more important than life itself.

Yu Feng cried on the ground for a while, wiped away his tears, and immediately stood up. "Village chief, I want to see that bitch Zao Hua. I gave her the house and the land, what else is she dissatisfied with? She even ruined my business. She's trying to drive my son and me to our deaths!"

"Village chief, you must stand up for us!"

"Yu Feng, I can't make the decision for you in this matter. You were in the wrong first, and this was all your own choice. No one forced you."

"I agreed to all her demands, so why can't she leave me a way out?"

I've lost my job in the county town. How are we going to survive? How could she be so heartless?

We can give up the land, but she insists on returning the house to us. Yes, we can all settle down in the village now.

"Village chief, you have to help us! Look, my mother is so old; we can't let her grow old without even a place to live."

"Yu Feng, it's impossible for you to settle down in the village. You should think of another way."

"Village chief, could you let me in to see Zaohua? I've wronged him, and I have something I want to say to him."

"Well, I'll have to send someone in to ask Zaohua if she's willing to see you."

"Okay, I'll wait here."
