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

"Miss Liu, I will not be coming to the village again. I have handed this matter over to Wang Zhong, and he will be in charge of loading and transporting charcoal from now on."

I will settle all the payment for this batch of 30000 catties of charcoal today.

I'll still give you 500 taels as a deposit for the next batch of charcoal. Here's 1200 taels, please keep it safe.

I will collect all the charcoal before the 15th of the twelfth lunar month, and I will not collect any after the 15th of the twelfth lunar month. Keep that in mind.

"Once the accounts are settled, I will have Wang Zhong settle the payment for you."

"No problem, we'll do as Young Master Wang says."

Young Master Wang, I've bought 100 jin of seasoning for pickling cabbage for you in total. That's all I have.

"Alright, 100 jin it is. As agreed beforehand, that's 20 taels of silver. We'll use it sparingly, and you can continue to help me collect next year."

"it is good."

"Miss Liu, I really have to thank you. Ever since our restaurant launched sauerkraut fish, business has been booming."

Some restaurants have tried to imitate our pickled fish, but the taste is quite different.

Please keep the seasoning a secret, Miss Liu.

"You can rest assured, we won't tell anyone. If others find out on their own, there's nothing we can do about it."

"That's right, that's right."

Liu Siyue wanted to know about the waterway transportation situation and was having a pleasant conversation with Wang Qing'an when Wang Zhonghe, the village chief, came looking for her. "Young master, all the charcoal has been loaded onto the carts, and we can set off now."

Wang Qing'an stood up. "Miss Liu, I'll take my leave now. I need to hurry back to the prefectural city, or I won't be able to get back in time."

"Since Young Master Wang is in such a hurry to leave, I will not keep you any longer."

Wang Qing'an boarded the carriage, and Liu Siyue and the others accompanied him all the way to the village entrance, watching the long convoy depart.

"Village chief, look, the convoy is coming out."

One after another, carriages completely covered up drove past Wei Yuanguang and his group, and they saw nothing.

"Village chief, what do you think is on the truck? It looks quite heavy."

"How would I know? But we need to find out more about this."

Let's go back to the village.

Wei Yuanguang was completely unsettled when he got back. He was now eager to know what the people of Liujia Village were doing and what kind of tricks they were up to. No, he had to invite Liu Maoquan out and ask him properly.

Liu Baozhu reported to the village chief, "Village chief, just now the village chief of Bainiwan brought two people to enter the village, but I didn't let them in. He said he wanted to visit an old friend. I said I would call them for him, but he wouldn't say who they were and just left angrily."

They even said that if we can do the first day of the lunar month, they can do the fifteenth.

I'm worried they'll do something bad.

"It's okay, just don't let them in. Do that from now on."

Liu Siyue left with the village chief. "Siyue, watching all these cartloads of charcoal being hauled away, my heart finally felt at ease."

"These kinds of things will happen a lot in the future, you'll get used to it."

"Uncle Village Chief, didn't you say you were going to give each household one tael of silver? Why haven't you come to collect it from me?"

"I just said it casually at the time, without doing any calculations. If it were distributed according to the number of people in the village, some families wouldn't even get a tael of silver."

"Once the silver is given out, it's difficult to get it back, so I won't divide it up yet. We'll wait until all 30000 catties of charcoal are sold and the silver is settled before settling the accounts and dividing it up. That way, there won't be any conflicts."

"Uncle Village Chief is very thoughtful. Today, Young Master Wang came and settled the payment for the 30000 catties of charcoal."

He also paid a deposit of 500 taels for the next batch of charcoal. He said that for the next batch of charcoal, he would only accept charcoal produced before the 15th of the twelfth lunar month, and would not accept charcoal produced after that.

"Uncle Village Chief, you can come find me anytime you want to divide the silver."

"The last batch of charcoal will be ready tomorrow. Young Master Wang said he'll come to pick it up the day after tomorrow, so let's distribute it the day after that. Let's distribute the silver as soon as possible and make everyone happy."

There hasn't been any happy event in the village for a long time; the villagers must be eagerly anticipating the distribution of their silver.

"Okay, I'll go to the money exchange tomorrow or the day after and exchange all the banknotes for loose silver and copper coins."

"I'm sorry to trouble you again, April. I don't know what to say. I always make you work so hard for the village."

"Uncle Village Chief, has the person in charge of the accounts been chosen yet?"

"After thinking it over, I only have two candidates: your second uncle and Brother Fusheng."

As you know, most people in the village are illiterate. Although your second uncle is illiterate, he has the help of you guys!

Although Brother Fusheng isn't very literate, he can still manage to keep accounts and do calculations.

"My second uncle is definitely not up to the task; he has a lot of things to handle at home. I think Uncle Fusheng is much better."

"What you said makes sense. I'll go back and discuss it with Brother Fusheng. Once we've discussed it, we'll come find you and sort out the accounts."

"Well, it's best to sort out the accounts before dividing the silver."

From now on, you will be in charge of the village accounts; I will no longer interfere.

It would be best to make the accounts public to the villagers, otherwise it would be bad if they became suspicious.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

The village chief was overjoyed and hummed a little tune all the way home.

As the villagers watched cartloads of charcoal being hauled away from the village, they gathered in small groups to discuss how much the charcoal had sold for and when it would be distributed.

Five or six days have passed, and Qingye still hasn't come to deliver the letter. Could something have gone wrong again?

The next day, Liu Siyue and Jiu Qingwu went to the county town together. They found Qingye and asked her what had happened to Yu Feng's family.

"Master, after Yu Feng returned from the village, he kept this a secret from Chuncao. He pretended to go to work every day as usual. Chuncao saw that the mother and son were acting suspiciously every day and dared not answer her questions directly, so she knew that something was wrong."

That evening, a man sneaked into the Yu family home. Chuncao told the man, Dalong, about her current situation and asked him what she should do.

After whispering to each other for a while, the man named Da Long left.

The man came again the next evening, slipped a small paper packet to Chuncao, and left.

It wasn't until the third day that I found out it was a packet of sleeping pills. Chuncao had given the entire packet to Yu Feng and his mother.

After the two were drugged, Da Long arrived. Chun Cao took all the silver that Yu Feng had saved. Da Long picked up the child and doted on him, saying that he was his son.

The two of them, carrying the child, left the county town together.

When Yu Feng and his mother woke up, they found that Chuncao and the child were gone, and the house was ransacked. When they looked again, all their money was gone. Yu Feng went crazy and searched the whole county for Chuncao.

He's been busy looking for Chuncao in the county town these past few days and hasn't had time to go to the village at all.

The thugs also went to find Yu Feng, who said he was busy and asked the thugs to help him look for Chuncao.

Liu Siyue almost burst out laughing after hearing Qingye's words, "The woman Yu Feng cherished so much actually cheated on him, making him a cuckold."

Now that I've lost both my money and my loved ones, it's so satisfying.

No! It should be said that I have nothing, hahaha!

"My lord, I've heard something else, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"What is it? Tell me."

"I heard that the magistrate and his wife had a fight, and the magistrate's wife left home with their daughter. According to the yamen runners at the city gate, they went towards the prefectural city."

"Oh, is that so? Keep an eye on it. I have other things to take care of today."

"Yes, Master."

Everyone says the magistrate and his wife are a loving couple, so why are they arguing? What's the reason? They've even gone so far as to run away from home, so the conflict must be quite sharp. Liu Siyue couldn't understand it.
