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

After watching the two sisters go to the main room, Madam Feng took her child back to her room and went to sleep with the child in her arms. When Liu Dawang came out, he saw the two sisters standing there with their legs trembling and found it amusing. "Your mother has fallen asleep with the child. You two should rest for a while and not hurt your legs."

"Hehe, thank you, Second Uncle."

"Cousin, Second Sister, is the lantern festival in the county town fun? What is the lantern festival like?"

"Want to know? I'll take you next year."

"We want to hear it now, cousin, second sister," the two little girls said, snuggling against their laps.

Liu Ruxue said with a smile, "The lantern festival is when the streets are filled with all kinds of lanterns, there are a lot of people, lots of delicious food, acrobatics, monkey shows, sword shows, storytelling and opera, lion and dragon dances, and poetry gatherings held by literati. In short, it's very lively."

The two little girls were extremely envious after hearing this. They really wished tomorrow was the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately they had to wait another year. They didn't know what would happen next year!

Seeing that the two were in low spirits, Liu Siyue said, "Don't look so gloomy. Go find Qingwu. I brought you lanterns and snacks. You can cook the glutinous rice balls now."

Upon hearing that they had been given lanterns and food, the two women immediately became happy and skipped off to find Qingwu.

A moment later, Ruyu came out yawning, "You guys are back. You had a great time, but I'm exhausted. The eldest sister who was with me got up in the middle of the night to make tofu."

"Then why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"And what about the finished tofu?"

"How can anyone sleep when it's already dawn?"

The eldest sister said that her father would deliver the tofu to her when it was light, and she would go back to sleep.

"Is Mother angry that you're back?"

"Of course I'm angry! That's why I'm being punished by standing in the corner!"

"Aren't you afraid that your mother will suddenly come and beat you while you're sitting and standing as punishment?"

"Don't worry about us, just go do what you need to do!"

Liu Ruyu went to practice her martial arts, while Liu Siyue and Liu Ruxue continued to rest. Hearing a noise from the next room, they quickly got up and stood at attention. Madam Feng went to the main room to check on the two sisters. It was no wonder they wouldn't stand obediently. With a stern face, she asked, "What's wrong with reflecting on your actions?"

"Mother, after deep reflection, we have finally realized our mistakes. From now on, I will definitely keep my word, resolutely follow Mother's guidelines, and not make excuses or upset you."

"Look at you two, getting married in August is such a big deal, how come you don't care at all? She's your own sister, you went to support August, so the Bai family won't dare to make things too difficult for August in the future."

You two need to come back right on time. What if the city gates suddenly close like last time, and you can't get out? How heartbroken we'll be if we don't see you in August, and how worried we'll be if you're stuck in the city.

"Mother, it was all because we were young and ignorant. We only thought about having fun and didn't think about so many things. We won't do it again. If something really happens and we can't come back, we will definitely send a message back through our descendants."

Hurry up and get ready, tidy yourself up, we're going to the Bai family soon.

The two sisters hurried back to their room to change their clothes and do their makeup. Liu Siyue put the dowry she had prepared into a box: a land deed for 8 mu of paddy fields, a land deed for 5 mu of dry land, two 10-tael silver ingots, and a silver hairpin.

She left the room and went to her eldest sister Liu Yiyue's room. She saw Liu Yiyue dressed neatly and sitting on the edge of the bed. "Eldest sister, how are you feeling? Will you be able to handle attending the wedding in August?"

"In April, I've been back for two months and have been lying in bed for two months. My body has recovered enough. If I stay in bed any longer, I'll become useless."

Although I've lost some weight, I'm in much better spirits, and I'll gradually regain the weight.

I definitely want to attend the wedding in August, and I can manage. In April, I wanted to add 20 taels of silver to my dowry for August. Could you exchange the 50 taels you gave me for 10-tael silver ingots?

You won't be angry with me for doing this, will you?

"Big sister, what are you thinking? What I gave you is yours. How you want to do with it is your business. I won't interfere. Everyone has their own life to live."

"Big sister, you're right, aren't you?"

"Yes, that makes sense."

"Give me the silver, and I'll exchange it for you right away."

Liu Yiyue felt a little reluctant after hearing what Siyue said, but since she had already said it, she couldn't take it back. She gave Siyue 50 taels of silver, and soon Siyue came back with five 10-tael silver ingots and handed them to her.

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I've come to borrow the carriage."

Liu Siyue recognized Bai Qiming's voice. She came out and saw him dressed impeccably in a new black outfit. "Bai Qiming, you've come to borrow the car so early. Are you going to pick up the bride now?"

"Second sister, I want to drive there first, make some arrangements, and then go to fetch the bride when the auspicious time arrives."

You'll all need to come over for the banquet and wedding feast later.

"Qingling, take some people to catch the carriage."

"Big sister, come sit in the main room. I brought back some glutinous rice balls. Have a taste."

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

When Madam Feng saw Liu Yiyue wearing new clothes, she said, "These clothes are a bit big. They'll fit perfectly after you let them rest a little longer. Come and sit down. The glutinous rice balls that you brought back in April are really delicious. Let's make them again next year. Everyone, sit down and have a taste."

"Mom, we won't eat this. This is for you. If you want to eat it again later, we can make it again."

"You know how to do it?"

"I can't cook it, but there are others who can. If you want to eat it, I guarantee you'll be able to."

"Could it have been done by someone living in a house in the county town?"

"Yes, they made it. Their skills are pretty good, aren't they?"

"Their skills are excellent. It's much more convenient to learn how to cook for yourself and make it whenever you want to eat it, rather than bothering someone else to do it."

"Once the house is repaired, I can bring the person back to teach, and I guarantee they will learn."

"Mother, when are we going to the Bai family?"

"Let's wait a bit longer. They've gone to get married. It's not too late for us to go later. If we go too early, we'll have nothing to do and nowhere to stay, which is inconvenient."

When Liu Dawang returned a while later, he said, "Why are you and your children still at home? The Bai family has all gone to arrange the marriage."

"Is the wedding procession starting so early?"

"Yes, the Bai family boy said he wants to drive the horse-drawn carriage around the village twice before going home. That would be a good idea."

"I'll go get my older sister, you guys wait here."

After waiting a while, Liu Ruyun came out of the room. "Shall we go now?"

"Okay, let's go now."

Feng and her family went, while Liu Siyue entrusted her child to Qingling's care. She didn't want to take the child with her; there were too many people, and it wouldn't be worth it if something went wrong.

Bright red couplets were pasted at the entrance of the Bai family's house, and bright red "double happiness" characters were pasted on the door. The Bai family members were all dressed in new clothes, and the whole house was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Mrs. Bai greeted the villagers who came to offer their congratulations with a smile, "Aunt Bai, congratulations! With this daughter-in-law and grandson in your arms, you can now enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren."

"It doesn't matter if he's a grandson or not, the important thing is to get a wife first."

Zao Hua held her son, protecting her father. Bai's father's leg hadn't fully recovered, and he was so anxious he couldn't sit still. His son's wedding was a big event, how could he not show up?

When Liu Siyue and the others arrived, they saw a lively scene at the Bai family's house, knowing that they attached great importance to this marriage. Madam Feng was very happy, "Siyue, look, the Bai family's banquet is quite good, which shows how much they value August."

"Once I send the dowry upstairs, the Bai family will pay even more attention to it, and the people in the old house will probably be furious."

"Hopefully, the people at the old house won't cause any trouble, and that August will have a smooth wedding."

"We can't control whether they cause trouble or not. As long as they dare to cause trouble, someone will definitely take care of it."

Liu Yiyue also prayed silently, hoping that her parents would not interfere with her younger sister's marriage.
