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

Madam Feng looked at her with a smile, "You child, it's New Year's Day today, why are you so sleepy? Sleeping in on the first day of the Lunar New Year means you'll be lazy all year round."

A lot of people came to my house this morning, and everyone was asking, "Where are you? You must be starving! Sit down and eat!"

Liu Siyue didn't offer any explanation. They enjoyed a lively meal, and the younger children wished her a Happy New Year.

"Wait here." Liu Siyue ran back to her room, came out carrying a cloth bag, and took out four 10-tael silver ingots. "Each of you will receive a silver ingot, and may your wealth flow in abundantly."

She then took out two 50-tael silver ingots and gave them to Liu Ruyun and Liu Yiyue, saying, "Cousin, elder sister, I wish you both great wealth."

With only two coins left in the cloth bag, Liu Siyue took out two 10-tael gold ingots. "Mother, Second Uncle, these are for you. May you have endless money and boundless blessings in the future."

When everyone saw that it was gold, they were stunned. It was the first time they had ever seen a gold ingot, and they were extremely fascinated by it. Everyone wanted to hold it in their hands, squeeze it, and weigh it.

"Mother, everyone says that one tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver, so this might be worth 100 taels of silver."

Mrs. Feng chuckled, "This was given to us in April, so none of you should even think about taking it."

"In April, your mother also prepared a gift for you. This is a set of clothes that your mother made for you herself. Wear it today."

"Thank you, Mother."

As everyone was talking, more villagers arrived. Everyone quickly put away the gold ingots. Madam Feng invited everyone to sit down, saying, "Happy New Year, aunties. You all chat, I'll go back to my room first."

Liu Siyue went back and closed the door. She went into her space and quickly tidied up the room. The floor was covered with her vomit, and it smelled awful. Wearing a mask, she endured the nausea and finally cleaned the room. She turned the air conditioner to ventilation mode and left quickly.

She came out of the space, returned to her room, and put on the new clothes that Feng had prepared for her. She had to admit, Feng's sewing skills were really good. The size was just right, and there were even flowers embroidered on them.

She simply styled her hair into a bun, adorned with a plain silver hairpin, giving her an elegant and sophisticated look.

When Liu Siyue came out of the room, she found that the group of people from before had left, and now only her family was left in the main room.

"Qingwu, call Qingling and the others over here."

Five servants stood in a row with their heads bowed. Liu Siyue told them to raise their heads. "Today is the first day of the new year, and it's also a new beginning for us. New year, new look. Each of you will receive a New Year's red envelope."

The so-called red envelopes here are simply things wrapped in red paper.

The red envelope Liu Siyue gave was a five-tael silver ingot wrapped in red paper.

Everyone received their red envelopes, beaming with joy, and offered Liu Siyue auspicious words.

"Alright, you can all go down and have fun. Do whatever you want, the main thing is to have a good time."

Liu Siyue returned to the main room. "Mother, why aren't you wearing the jewelry I bought for you?"

"Those pieces of jewelry are too precious; how could Mother bear to wear them?"

"I brought this back for you, not for you to put in a box and have babies, right?"

"Oh, I actually hope it can have puppies, then our family won't have to do anything, we can just lie around and have money to spend."

"Mom, you really have wild ideas! And they're quite the dreamers!"

Mrs. Feng chuckled, "Didn't you say you should dare to dream? What if it comes true?"

"Oh my, I never expected Mother to put her knowledge to use! She's already applied what I said so quickly."

"Ru Xue, take care of the children."

"Cousin, let's go inside and help Mom get all dressed up."

"No need, Mother is fine as she is."

Liu Ruyun and Liu Siyue each supported one of Feng's arms and carried her into her room.

"Hmm, this dress is too dark for you, it doesn't look good on you. I remember making you quite a few clothes!"

"My mother thinks this dress is nice; the colors of those other dresses are too bright and don't suit me."

"My mother is already quite old, why is she dressed so brightly? You young girls look better in brighter colors."

"Mother, where did you get this age from? In my opinion, you're at the prime of your life, full of charm."

Liu Siyue picked out a bright light blue dress from Feng's wardrobe for her to change into, and put her jewelry on.

"Cousin, do you know how to do hair buns? Put this jade hairpin in for Mother."

"Yes, I learned from Qingling and Xiaotao. Don't underestimate Xiaotao just because she's young; she's really good at combing hair."

After combing her hair, Liu Siyue applied a little rouge to Feng's face, making her skin appear fair and rosy.

"Mom, take a good look in the mirror. Dressed up like this, you're even prettier than a young girl. If Uncle sees how beautiful you are, will he go crazy?"

Mrs. Feng patted her on the back, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Feng Yuzhen could hardly believe it. Was this really her?

"Mom, how is it? Does it look good?"

"It looks good, but I'm too ashamed to go out in public looking like this. I'm afraid I'll be laughed at to death."

"No one will laugh at you; they're probably envious!"

Feng refused to leave her room, so Liu Ruyun and Liu Siyue each held one of her arms and carried her out.

"Yuzhen, Yuzhen!"

The visitors were Ye Wenxiu and Wang Cuilan. Wang Cuilan was afraid that it would be awkward for her to come alone, so she specially asked Ye Wenxiu to come with her.

"Aunties, please sit in the main room first. My mother and two older sisters are in their own room. I'll go and call them."

"Mother, Aunt Ye and Aunt Wang are here."

The door swung open with a bang, and Ru Yu saw Liu Siyue and Liu Ruyun holding Feng Shi in the middle.

Ru Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Mom, is this really my mom?"

Upon hearing Ru Yu's cry, everyone in the main room rushed over, asking, "What's wrong?"

"You, you're Yuzhen?"

"Yes, Auntie, this is my mother. You don't even recognize her?"

"Is this really your mother? I thought she was some kind of noble lady!"

Yuzhen was beautiful when she was a young girl. Now that she has recovered her health and dressed up like this, she looks like a world apart from us.

Now that we're standing next to Yuzhen, who would believe we're of the same generation?

Judging from Yuzhen's current appearance and figure, she looks like a newlywed bride.

Madam Feng blushed deeply. "You two, stop teasing me. It's all because of these two kids that I've been messing around. I'm too ashamed to show my face in public."

"It's not that you're ashamed to face people, but that we're ashamed to face you. You've outshone all the women in our village."

Stop being coy and come out to chat with us. Are you really planning to hide inside and refuse to see anyone?

Unable to resist these people, Madam Feng was dragged to the main room by them.

"Yuzhen, among all of us old sisters, you are the most blessed now. When you and your daughter stand together, you both look like flowers."

I'm so envious!

"What's there to envy? You guys have daughters too, don't you?"

"We do have daughters, but none of them are as skillful or capable as Ruyun and Siyue."

Wang Cuilan felt uneasy whenever she thought of her daughter. Her daughter was a troublemaker, always coming back to beg for money, making her family support her husband's family.

"Cuilan, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, are you planning to go back to your parents' home?"

"Go back, of course I'll go back. My Qiuju isn't married yet, so I don't need to wait at home for my son-in-law to come."

Every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I go back to my parents' home. My parents, brother, and sister-in-law are already waiting at the door!

With a smile on her face, Madam Feng said, "I want to go back too. I haven't been back to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year for so many years. My parents must be waiting for me this year."
