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

Liu Yiyue went to the main room and knocked on the old couple's door. "Grandpa and Grandma, are you asleep? I've come to get the blankets."

"We're all asleep. The blankets are on the table in the main room. Go get them yourself."

Liu Yiyue didn't say anything. She walked into the main room in the dark and reached out to touch the table. Sure enough, she felt a quilt. The quilt was thin and stiff, and it had a strange smell. She thought of her own fragrant and soft quilt and felt a little sad. Even if they wanted to use her nice quilt, they should have given her a thicker one.

She looked up at the dark night sky. The weather had changed. It must be very cold tonight with this blanket on.

"Old man, this quilt is so comfortable. I never thought that we would still be able to sleep under such a good cotton quilt in our old age."

"Our eldest daughter is back. Our good days are yet to come. If we can control her, we won't have to worry about controlling that slut April."

As long as we control January, the white rice, white flour, and silver will surely be brought to us from the end of the village.

"From now on, we should enjoy life to the fullest. She went to town to get medicine today, which must have cost her a lot of money. Tomorrow, find some time to take all the money she has and keep it in your own hands. That way, we'll have more financial security."

"Old man, don't worry, I've already planned this out."

Liu Yiyue placed the quilt next to her sister-in-law and checked on the progress of the medicine being prepared outside. Everyone else in the family was asleep, and she was the only one busy with the task.

After the medicine was decocted and cooled, she fed it to Yu Guixiang spoonful by spoonful.

After everything was done, she felt utterly exhausted. She lay down next to Yu Guixiang, fully clothed, and fell into a deep sleep.

The Bai family did not go out, so they were unaware of what had happened at the Liu family's old house.

Although Bai Qiming and Liu Bayue were married, they were both very restrained and did not consummate their marriage. They simply kissed and hugged each other before falling asleep in each other's arms.

As soon as it was light, Liu Bayue got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, while Bai Qiming helped her start the fire.

Hearing the noise from the kitchen, Bai's mother quickly got up. She originally wanted to go in and help, but hearing her son and daughter-in-law chatting and laughing, she smiled and decided not to disturb the young couple. She let them cook for themselves, as she was looking forward to eating her daughter-in-law's cooking and drinking the tea she was served.

She's content now; she has a daughter-in-law, and if she can have two more big, healthy grandsons, her life will be perfect.

After some time, she will find a matchmaker to help Zaohua find a good family to marry into, and then she will be completely at ease. What she wants most is for her children to live well.

"Husband, go and see if Father and Mother are up yet? I'll fetch water and help them wash up."

Bai Qiming was overjoyed; he loved hearing August call him "husband."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

He left the kitchen and went to his parents' room, where he heard them talking in the main room.

"Father, Mother, you're up? August has already prepared breakfast. He said he'd fetch water to help you wash up."

"We're not some wealthy family, do we not need to be waited on? We can just bring ourselves a basin of hot water to wash."

"Mother, August said this is her first day as a new bride, and she has to do it. Mother, please grant her wish to show her filial piety."

"Okay, we'll wait here."

Bai Qiming rushed to the kitchen excitedly, "Wife, Mom and Dad are already in the main room."

Liu Bayue filled a basin halfway with hot water and brought it to the main room. "Father, Mother, the hot water is here. Please wash up."

"Oh my! This old woman is finally enjoying the blessings of being a daughter-in-law!"

"August, you can do whatever you want on your first day as a new bride, but we can't do that in our family afterward. You'll be like my daughter, and we'll get along well."

After the elderly couple finished washing up, Bai Qiming brought in two bowls of tea. The two of them knelt down in front of Bai's parents and said, "Father and Mother, please have some tea."

Mr. and Mrs. Bai were so happy they couldn't stop smiling. They hadn't expected their son and daughter-in-law to serve them tea. Each of them picked up a bowl and drank the tea.

"Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Mother Bai took out a thin silver bracelet from her pocket and put it on August's wrist. "This bracelet is a gift from your parents. Although it's not worth much money, it's a token of our affection. We'll buy you a better one when we have more money in the future."

"Thank you, Father and Mother. I will definitely take good care of you and serve my husband well in the future."

"Alright, let's eat. After you finish eating, you two go and deliver wedding cakes to the villagers."

Our family made so many wedding cakes; we prepared them for every household in the village.

After breakfast, Bai Qiming and Bayue each carried a basket and went from house to house delivering wedding cakes. When the villagers saw the two, they couldn't help but tease them, "Young man Bai, you're so lucky to have married such a golden girl."

"I also feel very lucky to have married such a wonderful wife as August."

An aunt walked up to Liu Bayue and said, "Bayue, you're married now. You need to hold onto your things carefully. This is the confidence your sister gave you, understand?"

"Thank you for reminding me, Auntie. I understand."

"It's good that you know. Your aunt is afraid that your mother will come to you to complain and ask for favors. If you soften your heart and give her everything, it will upset your in-laws, and life will be difficult then."

"Alright, hurry up and deliver the wedding cakes."

Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something. Something happened to your family, did you know?

"What happened, Auntie?"

The aunt told Liu Bayue everything she had heard in detail, "Bayue, you absolutely cannot go back to your parents' home. You must wait until the third day to return to your parents' home, understand?"

"With what happened to your family, going back will only bring you bad luck and spoil your good fortune. From now on, everything will go wrong for you."

"Okay, Auntie, thank you for reminding me!"

After handing out the basket of wedding cakes, the couple hurried home and told their parents what they had heard.

"Do you want to go back and visit in August?"

"Mother, I'm not going back. I can't help you now. Let's wait until the three-day homecoming ceremony."

Bai's mother was happy; she was a sensible person. The two of them carried a basket of wedding cakes to distribute. When they arrived at Liu Daniu's door, they said, "Third Uncle and Third Aunt, we've come to deliver wedding cakes."

"August, come in quickly, your third aunt has something to tell you."

"Master, you and your nephew-in-law go to the main room and have a talk."

"Third Aunt, I heard about what you're talking about this morning from the villagers. My sister-in-law had a premature birth and the baby died."

"That's not what I wanted to talk about. I was talking about your older sister."

"Big sister, what's wrong?"

"See? You really didn't know. Your eldest sister moved back to the old house, and she's the one who pays for their medical treatment and medicine."

I heard from your third uncle that your eldest sister will no longer be living at your second uncle's house. I feel like something's going on here.

You must hold onto what you have tightly. Don't give it to anyone. You mustn't break your second sister's heart. You must stand on your own two feet, understand?

"Why would my eldest sister go to live in the old house? What was she thinking? Doesn't my second sister feel sad about this?"

My second sister was driven to her death by them, while my eldest sister took the money my second sister gave her and spent it on them. How heartbroken my second sister must have been!

"You've finally come to your senses and stopped making a mistake. August, no matter what anyone says, you must maintain a good relationship with your second sister, understand?"

"Third Aunt, I know." Just as the two were talking, Laifu's voice came from outside the door, "Third Uncle, Great-Grandfather invites you to come over."

"Why did you invite me over?"

"Great-grandfather didn't say anything, he just told you to hurry over."

"Okay, you go first, I'll be there in a bit."

"My great-grandfather told me to wait for you to leave together."

"Qingyun, you talk to your cousin-in-law for a while. I'm going to the old house to check on things and tell your mother."

"Father, go ahead. I'll tell Mother. Be careful, Father."
