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

"Cousin, you should try this on too. Seriously, it's much more comfortable than wearing a bellyband."

"I'm not wearing it!"

"Mom, don't be embarrassed. We're all family. Let me help you try it on."

"Go away, I won't wear it."

Liu Siyue whispered in Feng's ear, "Mother, look how beautiful you are. If you wore underwear, you would look at least 10 years younger, just like that young wife."

If my second uncle saw this, wouldn't he be completely infatuated with my mother, and who knows, he might even have a little brother born!

"You little brat, you dare to say anything, making fun of your mother. You've become increasingly audacious and lawless lately. I'll teach you a lesson."

Feng reached out to grab Liu Siyue, who turned and ran. Feng chased after her, while Liu Siyue ran ahead, shouting, "You stop right there..."

"Second Uncle, stop your wife! She's going to hit me!"

Liu Dawang's face was full of wrinkles from being amused. He watched the mother and daughter making a ruckus and thought to himself, "These days are so nice."

The others joined in the laughter. The master's family was so nice; this was what a family should be like. Unlike those wealthy families who always put on airs and make you uncomfortable. In their eyes, there are only rules and interests. In the face of interests, so-called family ties are worthless.

As Liu Yiyue lay in bed, listening to Liu Siyue and the others' hearty laughter, she thought how wonderful it would be if the person outside was her mother. Then the three sisters could be so affectionate, and her mother could love and pamper them.

Feng couldn't catch up with Liu Siyue and ran out of breath, squatting on the ground. When Liu Siyue saw Feng squatting there, she thought Feng was unwell and quickly ran over to see, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Madam Feng grabbed her arm, "I told you not to run, but try again!"

Madam Feng raised her hand and slapped her on the bottom. "Mother, spare me! I won't run away anymore."

Uncle, help!

"Your second uncle can't save you!"

Ruyue and Ruxing made a face at Liu Siyue, "Shame on you, cousin got a spanking!"

"I've been so good to you two all this time, and not only did you not come to help, you even mocked me. I'm never bringing you any more treats, and don't let them end up in my hands."

"Mom, look, my cousin is threatening us."

"You two are really something, not only kicking someone when they're down, but also daring to complain."

"Hehehe..."

"Mother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

"I'm a mother myself now, and you still hit me like this. When Yao'er grows up, she'll laugh at me!"

"You still know you're a mother? You have no manners at all."

"Mother, please spare me for Yao'er's sake, and since it's the New Year!"

I personally grilled the meat for my mother!

"Alright, since you've been sincere in admitting your mistake, I'll let you off the hook."

"Thank you, Mother. You can keep those things for yourselves. Wear them whenever you've figured it out."

"Like snow, like rain, what are you all doing hiding inside? Come out right now!"

"Come on, come on, I've grilled so many, just waiting for you to come and eat," Liu Dawang called out to everyone.

"Everyone come and eat, see if Uncle's grilling is delicious!"

Liu Siyue took a chicken wing, took a bite, and said, "Second Uncle's cooking skills are good, it's really delicious."

Everyone, eat up! Second Uncle, you eat too.

"It's raining and snowing! If you don't come out soon, we'll finish all the food."

Liu Siyue handed a chicken wing to Feng Shi, saying, "Mother, have some. This was grilled by Second Uncle himself."

Madam Feng rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't you eat food cooked by your second uncle himself? Who here doesn't eat food cooked by their second uncle himself?"

"Mother is right, Mother is right, they were all baked by my second uncle."

Ruyu Ruxue came out of the house one after the other. "Oh, you two finally decided to come out."

"That thing is a gift for you, so please keep it safe!"

Let's eat barbecue quickly.

"Second Uncle, take a break, let me grill it." Liu Dawang's grilling was indeed quite good, but it wasn't spicy enough, so it wasn't satisfying.

Liu started grilling in April, the smoke mixed with the smell of chili peppers made everyone cough.

"April, what did you put in here? Why is it so pungent?"

"My second uncle didn't put chili peppers in his grilled food, but I put chili peppers in mine. It tastes different from the previous one. You should try it."

Before you eat, each of you should pour yourself a drink and hold it in your hand. If it's too spicy, quickly take a sip of your drink.

"Qingwu, bring out a jar of the other drink, the black one."

"Yes, Master."

Everyone tried Liu Siyue's grilled food, and it was so spicy that they hissed and their eyes watered. Qingwu quickly poured drinks for everyone, and when they saw the dark stuff in the cups, they all thought it was bitter medicine.

"In April, during the Lunar New Year, you're making us drink bitter medicine soup. That's bad luck!"

"This isn't bitter medicine, it's cooling herbal tea. Try it." Knowing that they were going to have barbecue, Liu Siyue specially prepared Wanglaoji herbal tea.

"Wow, this tastes so good, so refreshing and cool."

"I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

As everyone was eating, the sound of a child crying came from inside the house.

"You all continue eating, I'll go check on Yao'er." Madam Feng walked towards Liu Siyue's room in a few steps.

"Yao'er is awake. Let Grandma hold her." Madam Feng picked up the child, and she stopped crying.

"Your mother is having a barbecue with everyone outside. Let Grandma pack it up for you, and we'll go to the main room to have some snacks."

"In April, go see the kids and let me learn how to make barbecue too."

"Cousin, it's good that you've learned it. Maybe you can even make money from it in the future."

Madam Feng carried the child into the main room, and Liu Siyue followed. "Yao'er is awake. It's so different when a child is loved by their maternal grandmother."

"All you do is talk nonsense!"

"April, I noticed your eldest sister was a bit unhappy tonight. You gave us too much, so it's no wonder she's overthinking things."

"Mom, don't think so much. This is what I earned. I can give it to whomever I want."

"In April, you must not have any falling out with your eldest sister. It hasn't been easy for the three of you sisters to get to where you are today."

"Mother, I understand. Don't worry about it. I have my own plans for my eldest sister."

After spending some time with her older sister, Liu Siyue felt that she was somewhat blindly filial, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and perhaps not as kind-hearted as August.

August was severely suppressed by the people in the old house. Once she leaves the old house, I believe she will no longer be manipulated by them.

The eldest sister has been ripped off by the people from the old house so badly, yet she still thinks highly of them. She's a bit out of her mind and will eventually be manipulated by them.

Once she recovers, we'll see. If she really wants to get involved with the people from the old house, then we can't keep her around. We'll buy her a plot of land in the village, build her a house, and let her live alone.

As Liu Siyue was thinking this, she heard Madam Feng say again, "Siyue, you have to get up early tomorrow. Your second uncle is going to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors."

Once it returns from the worship ceremony, the villagers will come to offer their New Year's greetings.

Now that you've established a separate household for women, they'll definitely want to wish you a Happy New Year. I'm sure quite a few people will come to our house this year, especially the children from the village. When they wish you a Happy New Year, you'll have to give them something.

Mother thought that our family's snacks were rare treats, and we couldn't give them to them; besides, it wouldn't be enough.

"My mother took it upon herself to put two coins in each red envelope, and you can give them to the children who come to pay their respects for the New Year."

"Mother, isn't this two coins too little?"

"That's quite a lot. Do you know how many children there are in the village?"

There are at least several hundred of them. If you give them 2 coins, your second uncle will also give them 2 coins. Each child in our family can get 4 coins. That adds up to several taels of silver.

When villagers visit other people's children during the Lunar New Year, they never receive copper coins. Those from well-off families receive a small snack, while those from poorer families receive nothing.

If we give too much, people might say we're just showing off our money.
