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

The Donglin father and son hid behind their own courtyard gate, wanting to see what Aunt Yu was up to.

They saw her carrying two bundles of firewood from her own house, and then she fell silent. The father and son wondered what she was going to do with the firewood. They quietly opened the door to look and saw Aunt Yu sitting on the wall, and then she fell down with a thud.

"Dad, this Aunt Yu is pretty bold, she actually dared to climb over the wall."

"Let's go home."

"Honey, what happened just now? Who was knocking on the door?"

"Aunt Yu from next door is back. She just took two bundles of firewood from our house and climbed over the wall into Zao Hua's house."

"Dad, she's not even from our village anymore, why is she coming back? Isn't she ashamed?"

"Do you think she wanted to come back? She had no other choice but to shamelessly come back to find Zaohua."

I heard from others that Yu Feng's mistress ran away with the money, and Yu Feng was sent to work in the mines. How can a village woman like her survive in the county town?

"Father, Mother, do you think Sister Zaohua will take her in?"

"How would we know? Zaohua is a kind child; she might be able to coax her in just a few words."

"Sister Zaohua, please don't be soft-hearted. That mother and son are really too wicked."

"Why are you worrying so much? Go to sleep, and don't be like Yu Feng."

"Dad, I don't even have a wife yet, how can I be like Yu Feng?"

"Our new house will be finished soon, and we can move in before the New Year. I'll have your mother arrange a marriage for you. The houses that our six families have built are among the best in the village."

Which girl doesn't want to live in a nice house? As soon as she sees our house and our family's circumstances, the marriage is 80% done. As long as the dowry isn't outrageous, Dad will marry her for you.

"Father, Mother, you've chosen a girl for me, you must let me see her. I want to marry someone I love, someone I'll spend my whole life with."

"You little rascal, you even picked it yourself..."

"Since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. As long as the girl is of good character and her family is easy to get along with, it is a good match."

"I don't care, it has to be something I like."

"What kind of person are you looking for? Tell your mother."

Zhiping thought for a moment, and then the image of Ruxue appeared in his mind. Her face was a little hot, and she was smiling as she stood there in a daze.

When Donglin's wife saw her son like this, she knew all too well what she was doing; her son must have someone else in his heart.

"Ping'er, do you have someone you like?"

No, no.

"No, then why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"Did I laugh?" She touched her mouth.

"Alright, it's getting late. Tell your mother when you've thought it through."

Aunt Yu jumped off the wall and fell on her bottom, but thankfully she didn't twist her ankle. She rubbed her bottom and went into her room.

The room was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything. She knew her room well; she knew exactly where everything was.

He grabbed his bundle and headed towards the bed. The bed should be here, but why couldn't he find it? He kept walking, and bang! His head hit the wall.

Aunt Yu screamed, "Where's my bed? Did Zaohua take all our things to her parents' house?"

The moonlight in the courtyard was brighter than inside the house. When they entered Zao Hua's house, they found it empty. "That traitorous woman has taken everything from the house. How are we supposed to live now?"

Although we didn't camp out in the wild tonight, there's nothing in the house, so how much better is it than being outside?

Aunt Yu sat down on the bundle, hugged her legs, rested her head on her knees, and sobbed silently. Why had her life come to this? Her son was gone, her grandson was gone, she had nothing left, and she was now a lonely old widow.

She hated the spring grass, hated the jujube blossoms, hated them for going too far and driving her and her son to their doom.

Zao Hua is gone, leaving behind this empty house. She doesn't have a single penny. How is she supposed to live?

I walked so much today, my legs are sore and swollen, and my back is uncomfortable. I fell asleep while thinking about it.

As dawn broke and sunlight streamed through the window, Aunt Yu woke up to find the front door locked, preventing her from leaving, but she also couldn't climb the wall.

When Donglin got up in the morning and went to the new house, he passed by Liu Siyue's house and specifically went over to mention it. "Uncle Donglin, good morning! Is something wrong so early?"

"Aunt Yu came back last night. She climbed over the wall to get home. It was too late last night, so I didn't want to bother you. That's why I came to tell you this early this morning."

"Thank you, Uncle Donglin, I understand."

"Yun'er, who was that just now?"

"Mother, it's Uncle Donglin. He just said that Aunt Yu came back last night and climbed over the wall to go home."

"I said in April that she would definitely come back. It's just a matter of how the village handles it."

Aunt Yu searched through every room in the house and found nothing inside; they had really moved everything out.

She went to the backyard and found a piece of wood. She carried the wood to the wall, propped it up diagonally, and climbed it like a tree. When she reached the top, she found that the firewood she had put out the night before was gone. With no other option, she closed her eyes and jumped down, only to fall flat on her backside.

Aunt Yu went to several neighboring houses, hoping to borrow a machete to break the lock, but no one was willing to lend her one. "Aunt Yu, you're not from Liujia Village anymore. Why are you coming back? Didn't the village chief forbid you from returning?"

"I had no choice. Where else could I go if I didn't go back to the village?"

We've been neighbors for decades, can't you even help with this little thing?

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but that house isn't yours anymore. If I help you break the lock, wouldn't I become an accomplice?"

"I know this house is now under Zaohua's name. Zaohua must have gone back to her parents' home and moved everything out. I can't find her even if I want to!"

Even though she and Yu Feng are divorced, we were once mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Gouwa is still my grandson. She can't just watch me freeze and starve to death outside.

"Aunt Yu, to tell you the truth, that house isn't in bloom anymore; it's in April now."

"What did you say? You seized my house in April?"

"I knew it! How could Zao Hua possibly bring Gouwa back to her parents' home? Turns out she was driven away by Si Yue, who then seized the house."

"Aunt Yu, what nonsense are you talking about? They forcibly occupied your house in April."

Zao sold her house to Siyue, and several of our families also sold our houses to Siyue. Now, this piece of land at the end of the village has all been bought by Siyue.

"This area at the end of the village is no place for you. You'd better leave now."

Aunt Yu was in despair. Her house had been sold by Zao Hua. No, she had to beg Si Yue to return the house to her. She had nothing left and just wanted a place to stay.

When she arrived, the April family was having breakfast. Qingling opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for April."

"And who are you?"

"I am her neighbor, Aunt Yu, and Zaohua's mother-in-law."

"Wait here, I'll go in and announce your arrival."

"Master, there's a woman outside the door named Aunt Yu. She says she's the old lady from Zao Hua and wants to see you."

"Okay, let her wait here. I'll finish this and then head out."

Aunt Yu was overjoyed to see April. "April, I know I was wrong. Look, now both Aunt Yu and Yu Feng have been punished. Can you give me back my house? Let me have a place to live."

Auntie knows you're kind and a good child; she certainly wouldn't bear to see her freezing outside.

"Aunt Yu, I bought that house. Even if you wanted to buy it back now, I wouldn't sell it. I've bought the whole area at the end of the village."
