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

Yu Guixiang lay on the bed, listening to the voices of the people in the courtyard. She hoped they would hurry up and leave. Her mother had said that if they brought 50 taels of silver, she would give them 20 taels.

Huang Lanhua entered the house and greeted Yu Guixiang, "Guixiang, I'm going back to your maternal grandmother's house. I'll be taking care of things here for the time being."

Yu Guixiang turned her head away, neither speaking nor looking at her.

Huang Lanhua didn't linger and left with her two sisters-in-law.

Liu Yiyue thanked Yu's mother again, "Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of my sister-in-law."

"Don't worry, I care about my daughter more than anyone else."

"Mother, have they left?"

"Yes, they're gone. Good thing they're gone. We should be able to get the silver soon."

Huang Lanhua and her three companions boarded an oxcart and headed towards Huangjia Village.

At noon, Yu's mother only ate with her, her daughter, and their three children, ignoring everyone else.

The elderly couple from the Liu family and Liu Dahu came out to eat after smelling the delicious aroma, but the restaurant didn't serve them any. Yu's mother and her children ate with great relish; the porridge was made with chicken broth.

He wanted to scoop some out of the pot to eat, but when he looked, all that was left in the pot was the dishwater.

"Mother-in-law, where is our food? Where are Mrs. Huang and my eldest granddaughter?"

"I didn't know you were going to eat; they didn't tell me when they left."

Where did they go?

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, my in-laws' mother and her daughter went back to her parents' home."

Liu Dahu was so angry his face turned black. He hadn't had a decent meal in days. "Mom, please cook for us!"

Old Mrs. Liu was in a dilemma. She smiled at Mother Yu and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm getting old and my hands and feet aren't as nimble as they used to be. Could you cook another pot of porridge for us?"

"Grandma, you seem more energetic than me, so why are you so clumsy? I have to take care of several children and my daughter, I have so much to do, I don't have time to cook porridge for you."

"Old man, we've finished all the pastries, and we don't have anything to eat. How about you make us some porridge?"

"You old hag, is this what a man should do? I've never set foot in the kitchen in my entire life, and now I'm old and I have to cook? What are you thinking?"

Go, call the boss to do it with you!

Old Mrs. Liu knew she couldn't get her son to do anything, so she silently went to the kitchen to cook porridge. When she looked into the pot, she saw a whole pot of unwashed dishes and chopsticks. She cursed inwardly but dared not utter a sound. As she washed the dishes, she lamented her miserable life. Others enjoyed the blessings of their children in their old age, but she, in her old age, still had to be a slave to her children.

We can't go on like this anymore; we have to get the eldest daughter back with her things as soon as possible.

Yu's mother just couldn't stand Old Lady Liu. She deliberately didn't wash the dishes, and if she wanted to use the pots and pans, she would wash them herself. She was clearly a country bumpkin, but she acted like an old lady from a high-class family. She had the ambition but not the fate. The Liu family could indulge her, but she wouldn't.

Huang Lanhua sat on the oxcart, lost in thought, while her two sisters-in-law and Liu Yiyue chatted quite lively.

"In January, your maternal grandmother and I know you're back, but we don't dare to visit you. Ziyue is really too fierce. Last time, she beat your uncles so badly that they were in terrible shape. Your maternal grandmother was there at the time, and she didn't respect your maternal grandmother at all."

They even said she doesn't even acknowledge her own mother, so how could she acknowledge people like them?

Listen to these words! How disobedient and unfilial! Even if kinship is severed, blood ties cannot be broken.

"Aunt, my second sister has a bad temper, please don't take it to heart."

"How dare we argue with her? It's because she doesn't respect your mother and your maternal uncle's family."

In January, you stayed at your second uncle's house. Were they good to you?

I heard you were incredibly thin when you came back, and you do look a bit thinner now, but you seem to be in good spirits.

"Yes, my second uncle's family has been very good to me and has taken good care of me in every way."

"You are April's older sister. All the money they spend comes from April. How could they dare to treat you badly?"

After all, you and April are biological sisters, while they are distant relatives.

January, April is still young. As the eldest sister, you need to constantly remind her who her real mother is, raising her with love and care.

People inevitably make mistakes, but we should always give them a chance to correct them!

You must earnestly persuade April to help your mother more. Look how difficult her life is right now; you mustn't be indiscriminate in your affections.

"Aunt, I know all that you're saying, and I've tried to persuade her many times, but she's just stubborn and inflexible."

I'll try to persuade her slowly later, to help her reconcile with her mother. Mother and daughter shouldn't hold grudges overnight.

"You're so sensible, you know how to care for your mother. Look at your mother, she's only a few years older than Madam Feng, she looks old enough to be Madam Feng's mother. It breaks our hearts to see her like this."

"Your uncles are incompetent, your grandmother is old and can't help your mother, and your cousins ​​haven't found anyone to marry yet, which worries your grandmother and me a lot."

"Aunt, there's no use worrying. I remember we have quite a lot of land. As long as my uncles work hard, we shouldn't have to worry about food and clothing. Our land alone is much better than most families."

In their spare time, my uncles would go out to do odd jobs and earn some copper coins to supplement the family income. Life gradually improved for them.

The two sisters-in-law had said so much, but they still hadn't heard the answer they wanted. How they longed to hear Liu Yiyue say: "Aunt, don't worry, I'll give you some money. You can repair the house and find some good marriages for your cousins."

The ox wobbled and staggered to the Huang family's door. Huang's eldest daughter-in-law quickly jumped off the oxcart and walked into the house. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she called out, "Mother, my eldest sister knows you're sick. This eldest granddaughter has come to see you."

Upon hearing this, Huang's mother quickly took off her shoes, got into bed, covered herself with the blanket, and began to moan and groan, "Orchid~ January~"

"Mom, how are you now? My sister-in-law said you were bullied by the Yu family so much that you vomited blood."

"Grandma."

"Grandma's eldest granddaughter, January, Grandma misses you so much! But I dare not look at you, for fear of angering April."

"Grandma, how are you feeling now? Should we call a doctor to take a look at you?"

"Grandma is old and useless. She doesn't have much time left. I've seen a doctor, but it's no use. The doctor said it's a mental illness. If the knot in my heart isn't untied, the mental illness will be hard to cure."

Your uncles committed such a serious crime that they almost cost Grandma her life!

"Grandma, don't worry, there's always a solution."

"The Yu family is ruthless and cruel. They want 50 taels of silver in compensation. How could our poor and dilapidated family possibly afford that?"

If you can't come up with 50 taels of silver within three days, your three uncles will be sent to the authorities.

If it really comes to that, our Huang family will be completely finished.

The three Huang brothers limped in, crying, and knelt down on the ground. "Big sister, save me! I don't want to go to jail or be beaten!"

If we really go to jail, who will take care of Mother? It's all because of our impulsive actions that we've gotten ourselves into such big trouble.

Big sister, you absolutely have to save us! My dear niece, your uncle knows you're capable, you can't just stand by and do nothing and abandon your uncle to his fate!

Huang Lanhua felt terrible looking at her younger brother with his bruised and swollen face. She had raised them since they were little, and she couldn't just stand by and watch them go to jail.

"Uncle, get up quickly, let's talk this out!"

"Big sister, niece, I won't get up unless you agree."

Huang's mother stretched out her hand for her daughter-in-law to help her up. "Lanhua, please help your brother one more time, I beg you!"

As she spoke, Huang's mother began to cough violently. Huang Hua quickly patted her back and said, "Mother, I don't have any money either. All I have are the two pieces of jewelry that Yi Yue gave me. Yi Yue, the jewelry is yours. What do you suggest? Mother will do whatever you say."
