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

The three brides disembarked from the carriage in turn. The groom led the brides with a red cloth, and the three brides were supported by three blessed ladies. The matchmaker sang loudly: "The brides step on sacks to carry on the family line, step over fire basins to drive away evil spirits, and cross saddles to ensure peace."

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look everyone! The bride is getting out of the sedan chair! The Feng brothers have wives now, and they won't have to sleep in cold beds this winter!"

This made everyone burst into laughter, and someone jokingly said, "Starting tonight, you three brothers won't have to sleep in cold beds anymore, ah!"

The three grown men blushed with embarrassment and gripped the red cloth in their hands even tighter.

Upon entering the main hall, Mr. and Mrs. Feng sat in the main seats, while the clan head chanted: "First bow to heaven and earth, first kowtow, second kowtow, and third kowtow. May heaven and earth nourish you, and may your marriage last forever."

Bowing twice to one's parents expresses gratitude, upholds filial piety, and promotes family harmony.

The couple bowed to each other, signifying happiness and bliss, and were then led into the bridal chamber.

The three brothers led their respective wives back to their rooms, and the newlyweds moved directly into their new homes after their weddings.

The banquet officially began. Liu Ruyun and her sisters and two cousins ​​took the food to their three aunts, leaving the bride alone in the empty courtyard.

The three uncles went to the old house to toast the guests.

The villagers and guests of Fengyuan Village were overjoyed. The village hadn't held such a grand banquet in a long time. Each table had a large pot of stewed cabbage, tofu, and meat; a large pot of stewed pork bones and radish; a chicken; a duck; a plate of scrambled eggs; a plate of stir-fried cabbage; and a large pot of mixed grain rice. The portions were generous enough to feed 10 people.

The villagers ate with great relish, enjoying the food immensely. For just a few coins, the whole family was celebrating the New Year ahead of schedule.

After the banquet, the Feng family breathed a sigh of relief. The heavens were truly on their side; the sky remained overcast, but thankfully it didn't rain or get windy, and the brothers' marriages were successfully completed.

After chatting with Feng Yuzhen and the others for a while, Feng Yuzhen said it was time to leave, "Mother, it's getting late, we should go back."

"Yuzhen, don't go back today. We have a place to stay now, unlike before. Even if you brought the children, there was nowhere for you to stay."

"Let's stay here tonight and have a good talk, mother and daughter."

"Yes, little sister, you should stay. Mother told us to tidy up the house a long time ago, just waiting for you to come!"

Madam Feng looked at Liu Dawang and the children. Liu Ruyun and the others didn't actually want to stay. It was the dead of winter, and it was really inconvenient to stay at someone else's house. But they couldn't resist the hospitality of their maternal grandmother and aunt.

Liu Ruyun smiled and said, "We will listen to Mother."

Liu Dawang quickly added, "I'll do whatever you and the children say."

Mother Feng clapped her hands happily, "That's right, let them stay here tonight and let the father and son keep Da Wang company and have a good chat, and we mothers and daughters can also have a good chat."

"Your younger brothers have finally married their wives, and now my heart is finally at ease."

"Mother, how can you be at ease? Your grandsons are all still unmarried, waiting for you to arrange things!"

"You two are dreaming. They are my grandsons, but they are also your sons and their wives. You, as their mother, don't care, but you want me, as their grandmother, to worry. You've got a ready-made mother-in-law to be you."

"Mom, you have a good eye. Your daughter-in-law can't learn your skills!"

"You're so good at talking, making me happy. I do all the work for you, and I still have to thank you."

The daughter-in-law and daughter were all very happy, laughing together.

After the banquet, the village chief went directly to the ancestral hall and released the two brothers, Feng Duojin and Feng Duofu.

"You're all old and have plenty of money, so stop causing trouble. You haven't been in touch for decades, and now you're suddenly making a scene. Who can't tell what you're thinking?"

You're doing just fine in the village, so don't be like those other mountains that seem better. Don't covet what doesn't belong to you.

Your elder brother's family has had a tough time. Now that they're doing well, they're willing to help you out of kindness. If they're not, don't be angry with them. After all, what your mother did back then was indeed excessive.

Besides, they are able to make a living thanks to the help of their daughter and son-in-law.

"You've got plenty of money, but take my advice: go back and live your own life properly. Don't ruin the last bit of brotherhood between you, or end up like enemies when your two families meet."

"We understand that, but this was my father's dying wish!"

"Don't bring up your dead father. If your father really cared about your older brother, he wouldn't have kicked that whole family out and relied on the villagers for help. They probably would have frozen to death in that dilapidated thatched house."

"Alright, I don't want to say anything more. Go back now."

Although the two brothers were resentful, they felt bad seeing their older brother's family doing better than them.

They did take the village chief's words to heart to some extent. The conflicts between their generation were unsolvable, so the only solution was for the daughters-in-law and nieces-in-law to get along well.

That evening, the third groom wanted to stay and keep Liu Dawang company, but his mother, sister, and two sisters-in-law scolded and laughed at him. "What are you three doing staying here with your brother-in-law? Why don't you go back to your own yards and keep your wives company? Are you going to leave your wives to sit on the cold bed alone?"

It's so late, and the bride's veil hasn't been lifted yet. Bring some food over; don't let the new bride go hungry.

"Da Gang, come here!"

"Mom, what did you call me for?"

Feng's mother whispered a few words in Feng Dagang's ear, and Feng Dagang's face turned red instantly. "Mom, how can you make me do this? I can't do it. Let my second brother do it."

"Why can't you do it, you brat? You should pass on your experience to your three younger brothers. How did your father teach you all?"

"Since I'm not doing it, then let Dad do it!"

"Daqiang, why don't you go and teach your younger brothers!"

"Okay, Mom, what do you want to pay? How do we pay it?"

Feng's mother whispered a few more words in his ear, and Feng Daqiang's face flushed red. "Mother, aren't you making things difficult for your son? If I can't do it, let Dad do it. Dad has experience."

"Husband, what did Mother ask you to do? Why are your faces so red?"

"Why would a woman ask such a question?"

"If you don't want to ask, then don't. We'll ask Mother later."

The three grooms looked at their mother and said, "Well, don't make things difficult for the eldest and second brothers. We can do everything."

"You're all greenhorns. What can you do? All you can do is sharpen knives and chop wood."

Old man, go and have a good talk with those three. This is something that should have been done a long time ago; I completely forgot about it.

Mr. Feng knew what Mrs. Feng was talking about. The eldest and second sons were unreliable one by one, and he, an old man, had to come and say these things to his sons. How embarrassing!

Sigh! I have to teach my own son myself.

"You three, come inside with me."

Feng Gang's wife quickly ran over and asked, "Mom, what did you ask my husband and second brother to do just now? Why didn't they want to do it?"

I asked him if he was going to tell me or not, and he yelled at me.

"You want to know?"

Feng Dagang's wife smiled slyly, "If Mother wants to talk, then I'll listen; if you don't want to talk, then I won't listen."

Liu Ruyun and her sisters were also very curious. What exactly did their maternal grandmother make their eldest and second uncles do? If their eldest and second uncles refused, why did she make their maternal grandfather do it? Judging from his reluctant appearance, it didn't seem like a good thing. If it wasn't a good thing, why did their maternal grandmother make them do it? They would ask their mother when they got back.
