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

The Bull Demon King mooed, and upon hearing the sound, Madam Feng's face lit up with joy. "It must be my daughter and son-in-law. Come with me to greet them."

Mother Feng came out with her whole family, and the doorway was immediately filled with people: "Father, Mother, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Grandmother and Grandpa."

Mother Feng stepped forward with a smile, holding Feng's hand in one hand and Liu Siyue's hand in the other. "I was just thinking you would come today. My two sisters-in-law and several younger sisters-in-law did not go back to their parents' homes. They said they insisted on waiting for you to come back and would go tomorrow."

"By the way, why are you all here? Where are the other children?"

"Mother, they said they came a few days ago, but they won't come this time. They said they didn't come in April, so let them come instead."

"April, you're here. What will happen to the children?"

"Grandma, don't worry, Yao'er is very well-behaved. Her older sister takes better care of her than I do."

When the group entered the house, there wasn't enough room for everyone to stand. Grandma started introducing everyone to each other. After everyone had greeted each other, she said, "Old man, you and your sons-in-law should go sit in that room. It's too crowded here."

Once the men had left, Liu Siyue felt much better and could breathe more easily. With so many people crammed together, she felt like she was suffocating.

Liu Siyue smiled and stepped forward to greet her three newly arrived aunts, saying, "I'm so sorry I couldn't attend your wedding banquet last time. I hope you'll understand."

"April, we don't blame you. We know you have children and it's inconvenient for you to go out."

Liu Siyue took out three small mahogany boxes from the things she brought. "Nice to meet you all. These are my gifts for my three aunts."

"April, you are the junior. How can a junior give a gift to an elder? We haven't even given you one. How can we accept this?"

"Please accept these gifts, my aunts. They are a token of our respect for our elders."

The new brides looked at Mother Feng and said, "This is a token of our appreciation from April to you, her aunts. Please accept it."

They then accepted the gifts. Liu Siyue couldn't help but admire her. Her grandmother was truly a powerful matriarch. This was the advantage of being a mother-in-law in ancient times. It is said that a daughter-in-law eventually becomes a mother-in-law. Are all daughters-in-law waiting for this moment?

"Auntie, open it and see if you like the gift. If you don't like the style, you can exchange it."

The new brides opened the box, which was full of silver bracelets, but the styles were a little different. "They're silver bracelets, they're so beautiful."

"If your aunt likes it, then try it on."

They put the bracelets on their wrists and felt their weight; they looked radiant. Mother Feng smiled as she watched, "I remember your sister gave each of you a silver hairpin last time. Wear them all. You're at such a good age, dress up nicely. Don't be like me, old and can't even dress up anymore."

"Yes, Mother." They really wanted to wear that hairpin, but they were afraid their mother-in-law would say they were showing off. They were going back to their parents' home tomorrow, and with this outfit, they would be the envy of many people, and their parents' family would also feel proud.

"Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, you have some too."

Liu Siyue also took out two small mahogany boxes and placed them in the hands of the two people, saying, "Over the years, you have taken care of my maternal grandparents and fulfilled your filial duties on behalf of my mother. This is what I am giving to you as a token of my respect."

My maternal grandmother gave my mother gifts to help her out; my two aunts were kind-hearted and generous, and my mother was extremely grateful.

"April, don't say anything more. This is what we daughters-in-law should do, and it's also because our mother-in-law is good to us."

"April is a thoughtful child, so don't be sad. Open it and let me see what gift she has prepared for you."

When the two opened the box, it was glittering gold—a gold bracelet adorned with flowers. "This gift from April is far too precious; we dare not accept it."

"Auntie, Auntie, you deserve such a wonderful gift. Wear it quickly. All the women in our family should dress up beautifully."

Liu Siyue observed the expressions of her three new aunts-in-law. They had smiles on their faces and did not show any dissatisfaction because of the biased gifts. For the time being, they seemed to be of good character. She wanted to let them know that being filial to their grandmother would naturally bring more benefits.

The three new brides also secretly resolved to be good daughters-in-law and respect their parents-in-law.

When Feng's mother saw the gold bracelet, she smiled and said, "Put it on and show it to your mother. When we married you, we were poor and you had nothing. Now, your niece has made up for it."

Mother Feng deliberately had her eldest and second sons' wives wear it, wanting to see if the three new daughters-in-law would harbor resentment.

The two women put on the gold bracelets. "Mother, these are too shiny. We dare not wear them out. What if someone robs us?"

Everyone laughed, making the two aunts feel embarrassed.

"Grandma, you have one too! Look, what's this?"

Liu Siyue took out a sandalwood box, which was carved with flowers. The box itself was exquisite, not to mention the contents inside. She placed the box in Feng's mother's hands and said, "Grandma, open it and take a look."

Mrs. Feng happily opened the box, inside was a jade bracelet that was entirely green. Mrs. Feng couldn't help but gasp, "This is a jade bracelet."

"Grandma, this is jadeite. Jadeite is also a type of jade. It is said that jade nourishes the body. It is perfect for you to wear. The old ladies of wealthy families love to wear this kind of bracelet. It not only nourishes the body but also makes them look noble."

"No matter how well your maternal grandmother dresses or wears her finest clothes, she doesn't have that air of nobility. The nobility of the old ladies from wealthy families is something they cultivate from a young age, something we common folk can't compare to."

You silly girl, how can Grandma wear such an expensive thing out? I'm afraid someone will target me and chop off my hand.

People say that gold and silver have a price but jade is priceless. How much money must this have cost? Besides, this thing is fragile. Grandma doesn't dare to wear it. I haven't worn the jewelry your mother bought for me either.

In April, Grandma received your gift. Return the bracelet; even if you don't use it to make her a new dress, that would be fine. You don't earn money easily, so don't waste it.

"Grandma, it was my oversight. Since you've already bought the bracelet, keep it and keep it as a treasure."

Mrs. Feng carefully put the things away, afraid that they might get bumped or knocked.

Everyone received a gift, and the women sat together chatting. "Grandma, what are your plans for the future?"

"Our family only has a few acres of dry land, your uncles can finish it quickly. By the way, your dozens of acres of land, we'll have your uncles help you with that."

They have plenty of strength.

"Grandma, someone is helping with the work on my land, so you don't need to worry about it."

What do my uncles do after spring plowing?

"After spring planting, there's no work left at home. Your eldest and second uncles are preparing to build houses. Once the houses are built, they say they'll continue going into the mountains to find medicinal herbs to sell, which is at least better than going out to do odd jobs."

"Digging for medicinal herbs is not a long-term solution. Besides, the mountains are dangerous. With spring coming and everything awakening, poisonous insects in the mountains become active. One wrong move and you could be in danger of losing your life. It's too unsafe."

"They're not very capable, but the brothers look after each other, so they're fine."

Although Feng's mother said she was fine, she was always worried every time her sons went up the mountain, fearing that they would encounter wild beasts and never return.

"Grandma, I've come up with a long-term business idea for you. It's much safer than going to the mountains. If you do it well, you can earn a good amount, it's just a bit hard work."

"We're all peasants, what hardship can't we endure!"

"Grandma, as the ancients said, there are three hardships in life: rowing a boat, blacksmithing, and selling tofu. The business I'm giving you is one of those hardships."

"You're not thinking of your uncles because they're strong, are you? Blacksmithing isn't something anyone can just do; it's a skilled trade, and not just anyone can do it."

"Instead of forging iron, I'll make tofu. This is soft enough, isn't it!"
