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

When Liu Siyue returned home, she greeted her family and went to her room.

Seeing that Liu Siyue was in low spirits and had no smile on her face, Madam Feng wondered what had happened and decided to go and check on her.

"Father, Mother, please sit down first. I'll go check on April."

"Okay, go check on the child. Why does he look so unhappy? What happened?"

Madam Feng walked to the door of Liu Siyue's room and knocked. "Siyue, are you alright? Open the door for your mother."

"Mom, I'm fine, just a little tired and want to rest for a while. You go back and keep Grandma and Grandpa company, don't worry about me."

"Then you should rest well, I won't bother you anymore." When Madam Feng saw that she refused to open the door, she went to find Qingwu.

When Qingwu returned, her stomach started rumbling. She touched her stomach; she and her master had been busy all this time and hadn't had lunch yet!

So she quickly ran to the kitchen and asked Xiangqin to prepare something for herself and her master.

"Miss Qingwu, there's a little rice left over from lunch. I'll fry some rice for you and your master to tide you over before we start preparing dinner."

"Okay, anything is fine with me."

When Madam Feng didn't see Qingwu in her room, she called out from the courtyard, "Qingwu."

Qingwu was standing in the kitchen looking at the celery fried rice when she heard the madam calling her. She quickly ran out, "Madam, you called me." At that moment, her stomach rumbled again, which was quite inconvenient.

"Qingwu, didn't you guys have lunch?"

"Yes, madam. My master and I ate some biscuits at home this morning, and we haven't had a drop of water or a bite of food since."

I've been so busy, I haven't had a chance to eat. I only realized I was hungry when I got home.

"Weren't you delivering food? What could have kept you so busy? Did something happen?"

"Madam, something has indeed happened, and the master is very saddened."

"What happened?"

Qingwu didn't hide anything and recounted what had happened in the three villages. Madam Feng was shocked to hear that someone had actually starved to death, and another person had almost met with an accident.

"The master has already compensated them, but they still can't get over it and are taking all the blame upon themselves."

"Okay, I understand. Go to the kitchen and see if the food is ready."

This child is kind-hearted; she didn't do it on purpose. She should be nicer to those families in the future.

Qingwu came out carrying a plate with a small bowl of rice and a bowl of egg drop soup on it.

Madam Feng took the plate. "Go eat in the kitchen yourself. I'll take it to your master."

"Thank you, Madam. Please persuade your master."

"April, open the door for your mother. She knows you haven't had lunch, so she's brought you some."

Liu Siyue was lying sprawled on the large bed in the space. She could understand the pain of Sister-in-law Tian losing her child, just like her own mother losing her, that kind of heart-wrenching pain.

They were slaves who sold themselves into servitude, their lives in their own hands. For people of that era, the death of one person meant nothing; human life was worthless, even less than that of livestock.

She was the soul of a modern person, a vibrant life, lost because of her negligence. Her heart was filled with unease and guilt.

As Liu Siyue was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Madam Feng's voice. She immediately left the space and responded, "Mother."

"April, open the door for your mother. She knows you haven't had lunch yet, so she's brought you some."

The door opened, and Madam Feng went in and placed the plate on the table. She patted Liu Siyue's head and said, "I know what happened on the estate. You don't need to blame yourself too much. Eat your food first."

Nobody wants to see something like this happen, and you don't need to take all the blame on yourself and put so much pressure on yourself.

It's pointless to investigate whose fault it is now; we should just treat those families better from now on.

Liu Siyue threw herself into Feng's arms and cried like a child, "Mother, I bear a great responsibility for that child's death, and I feel terrible."

"Okay, stop crying and stop being sad. What's done is done, and nobody wanted this to happen. Let's be nicer to them from now on. Don't make yourself sick."

Madam Feng took out a handkerchief and wiped away Liu Siyue's tears. "Hurry up and eat your meal. After you finish eating, go see the children. With the children by your side, you won't feel so bad."

"Yes, don't tell anyone else about this; it will have a bad influence."

"Mother knows, you should eat quickly."

Liu Siyue took the child from Ruyue and Ruxing and hid in the room with the child to play.

When Feng's mother saw her daughter come in, she quickly asked about Liu Siyue, "Yuzhen, what happened to Siyue?"

"Mother is fine. She went to the village today, which was a long journey, and she didn't eat. When she got back, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so she rested in her room."

I just saw him eat, he should be feeling much better now, so Mom doesn't need to worry.

"It's good that the child is alright, it's good that the child is alright!"

"Mother, who do you think would be the best person to teach us how to make tofu?"

"Now they all have their own little families, and they are no longer like before, where the whole family worked together as one."

It's not appropriate to give this recipe to just anyone; your father and I are old and can't do it anymore.

Let them all learn. As long as your father and I are still alive, these brothers can do this business together. After your father and I pass away, they can do whatever they want.

However, a rule must be established: this recipe can only be passed down within the Feng family and cannot be shared with outsiders. Brothers must help each other and refrain from malicious competition.

"Alright, we'll do as Mother says. We'll teach them after the spring planting is over."

During dinner that evening, the Feng brothers asked Liu Siyue, "Siyue, I heard from your brother-in-law that you're planning to plant some chili peppers this year. Can your uncles plant them too?"

"If you want to plant it, you can. I'll give you the seedlings when the time comes."

Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, the things I'm planting need to be started as seedlings in advance. The three of you will help Second Uncle with the work, but you must keep it a secret and not tell anyone else.

"Okay, just teach us how to do it."

"In April, there are only a few people in my family. Will you be able to live in all these houses?"

"Uncle, the house we have now is too small and not enough to live in at all. If a guest comes, there will be even less room for them to stay."

We'll need to hire more people for the family in the future, so we'll all have to live separately.

I've already thought it all out. In the future, my second uncle and mother will live in one courtyard with my two younger sisters, my cousin and Ruxue and Ruyu will live in another courtyard, my eldest sister and I will live in another courtyard, and the lower courtyard will be used as a guest courtyard.

It's possible to adjust whoever wants to live with whomever they want.

Although the courtyards are separate, we're still in one home. There's a gate between each courtyard, so it's practically the same as living together.

"There are so many houses in the yard, wouldn't it be a waste if we couldn't live in them all?"

The house you built is just like those big houses in the city, isn't it? How much did it cost?

"Almost. Now that I have the means, I want to make sure I live comfortably."

I made a few hundred taels of silver. I did some small business and earned some money.

"We'll all be doing business in the future, and we'll have even more people coming to our house. We can't afford to not even have a place to discuss things; it would be a laughing stock."

When the Feng family heard Liu Siyue say this, they were all envious and wanted to work hard to earn money.

The next day, just after lunch, Qingye arrived in a carriage. "Master, Madam Yun and Madam Xu have arrived."

Yun Chenxin and Wang Zhilan stepped down from the carriage. The group was incredibly enthusiastic upon seeing each other. "Sister Yun, Sister Wang, you've arrived! Please come in."

"Little Sister Liu, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

"I miss you all too. I was just planning to go to the county town in the next couple of days."
