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

Liu Yiyue felt that she hadn't said anything wrong, but her second sister was so angry. After all, they were her biological parents, and they had raised them no matter what.

Judging from the second sister's expression, she also has a prejudice against her.

The hatred that April harbors for the old house runs so deep that it's probably impossible to resolve. She only said something fair, and it made her so angry. It seems that we should never mention the people from the old house in front of her again.

She couldn't ask April to do anything; she needed to recover quickly and start earning money so she could help her second brother's two children. They were so young and pitiful. It was so cold outside, yet they were still wearing only thin clothes. Her second brother was gone; her parents were so cruel.

Liu Siyue came out of the room with a stern face. This older sister really doesn't learn her lesson. She almost died herself, and she's still thinking about others. If she can't tell right from wrong in the future, just get her a house outside and let her live on her own.

What did she mean by that? Did she mean that the people at the old house weren't preparing a wedding dress for August, but instead she was the one preparing one?

Why did Mrs. Feng come out with such a happy expression when she went in?

"What happened in April?"

"It's nothing really. I just had a little argument with my older sister."

"Your eldest sister isn't in good health, and she's suffered so much in the past. Staying cooped up at home all day is bound to make her feel depressed. As her younger sister, you should be more understanding!"

"Mother, it's not that I want to argue with her, but when I came back from the county town, did she show me any concern? The first thing she asked me about was the wedding in August and the wedding dress. I cursed the people in the old house for being shameless, and she actually blamed me."

My older sister is soft-hearted, and I didn't want to argue with her, but she actually told me to accumulate good fortune for Yao'er. Does that mean I've lost my good karma just because I said a few words to the people in the old house?

"Mother, listen to what my eldest sister is saying. She's clearly cursing me and Yao'er."

Madam Feng didn't know what to say. She couldn't very well try to sow discord between the sisters.

"Oh! April, I'm not biased towards your eldest sister. She suffered so much at the Shi family's house. She probably longs for her family to visit her, to support her, or to bring her back. She still has feelings for her parents and yearns for their love."

People who are recovering from illness should not get angry, as anger will slow down their recovery. She might be overthinking things right now in January. Go see her again later, comfort her, and help her recover quickly.

Once she's fully recovered, let her do whatever she wants. She's an adult; who can control someone else forever?

"I'll listen to my mother."

After lunch, Liu Siyue took a nap. When she woke up, she took a soft cake from her spatial storage and went to see Liu Yiyue.

"Big sister, this is a cake I brought back from the county town. It's soft and sweet, and it's perfect for you."

Let me help you up, and see how it tastes.

Liu Yiyue burst into tears of joy, "Second sister, I thought you were angry with me and would never talk to me again."

I really didn't mean that.

"What are you thinking, sister? We're sisters, how could I ignore you? You don't know me, I'm the kind of person who acts on impulse."

Liu Yiyue wiped away her tears with her sleeve, a smile appearing on her face. She took the cake from Liu Siyue and began to eat it in small bites.

"Second sister, this cake is delicious! It's soft and sweet, perfect for the elderly."

"Um.

"Big sister, it's almost Chinese New Year, is there anything you want to buy?"

"There's plenty to eat and drink at home, and my second aunt even made me several outfits."

"In April, my older sister wants to ask you for a favor."

"What is it? Tell me!"

"August has never worn a nice dress since she was a child. The people in the old house certainly won't give her a dowry. So when she got to her husband's family, she didn't even have a decent dress to wear, which made her husband's family look down on her."

Second sister, your eldest sister wants you to make two new outfits for August, so she'll have clothes to change into after the wedding.

"If you don't want to, that's fine too. Just consider the money for the clothes as a loan from your older sister. I'll pay you back when I earn money from working in the future."

"Since my elder sister has spoken, I have nothing more to say. I'll just make her two sets of clothes."

"After you finish eating, please rest well and don't think too much."

"Okay, please be careful when you're out and about."

Liu Siyue came out of the room and smiled helplessly.

The next day, just after the family had finished breakfast, Master Xie arrived. "Lady Liu, you're finally back! I was worried I'd come all this way for nothing."

Let me tell you about the workshop. Our workshop has stopped operating, and everyone has gone home.

Our workshop made money this year, so I discussed it with the other workers and gave each of them an extra 500 coins, plus two catties of pork, so they could go home and have a good New Year.

"Master Xie is right, that's how it should be done, so that everyone can work harder for the workshop."

"Lady Liu, look, this is our account book. Every single account is recorded very clearly. After deducting the rent for the workshop, wages, material costs, and other miscellaneous expenses, the net profit is 2436 taels."

According to the contract we signed, you received 30% of the profits, which should be 730 taels and 800 cash. I'll give you a round number, 730 taels, is that acceptable?

"No problem, it's nothing."

Manager Xie took out a small wooden box and pushed it in front of her, "Madam Liu, this is your share of the profits, please take a look."

Liu Siyue opened the box and found 700 taels of silver notes and 30 taels of silver ingots inside.

"Yes, the quantity is correct."

"Lady Liu, business at our workshop is doing well. We've discussed it and decided to start work after the eighth day of the first lunar month. I have enough orders from customers to last me two or three months."

After the Lantern Festival, I plan to hire more people to help. If we cook too slowly, customers will complain, and it will affect our reputation.

"This is the right thing to do. Go ahead and do it. You don't need to tell me everything."

If you have any questions or uncertainties, we can discuss them together.

Oh, by the way, Master Xie, there's something else I'd like to ask you for help with.

My daughter is getting older, and it's not comfortable to hold her all day. I'd like to get her a stroller, the kind where she can sit and sleep at the same time.

"I've never seen or heard of the kind of car that Lady Liu is talking about. If you can draw up the blueprints, I might be able to make it."

"The blueprints? I finished them a long time ago. I forgot to bring them last time. Please wait here while I go get them."

Liu Siyue brought the blueprints to Master Xie. Master Xie took one look and said that this thing was so complicated that it was even more difficult to make than furniture.

"This stroller looks more complicated than the furniture; it probably won't be easy to make."

Explain to me carefully what the function of each part is, and how they work together.

Liu Siyue took the blueprints and explained them to him in detail, one by one, how to operate each part and what kind of effect it would achieve.

Manager Xie clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Madam Liu has such a brilliant idea! She can come up with such a good method!"

I guarantee that once we build this car, it will definitely be the number one car in the Great Sage Dynasty.

The child can sit inside without being exposed to the wind or rain. They can sit or lie down comfortably, and the adults won't get tired. You can push it wherever you want, and you can even put things under the stroller.

"Wonderful, wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"

Master Xie's comical expression made Liu Siyue laugh.

"Don't worry, Madam Liu, I'll go back and discuss it with them, and we'll get it made as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much."

If the stroller is made well, we might have even greater business opportunities.
