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

The Liu family's old house was like a stage play every day. Old Mrs. Liu lay in bed, waiting to be served every day. Old Mr. Liu got tired of serving her after a couple of days, especially the work of cleaning up after her excrement and urine, which he really couldn't do.

Grandpa Liu went to find Huang Lanhua and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, your mother has injured her back and needs to take good care of herself. You must take good care of her. I'm old, and besides, I'm too old to take care of your mother."

"Dad, that's your wife. If you don't take care of her, who will? Everyone says that companionship is essential in old age. But what kind of companionship is that? Don't you see how much work is waiting for me to do at home?"

It's not enough for me to take care of one patient, Dad, do you think it's too easy for me to take care of Qingshan's wife? If you think it's too easy for me, then you take care of her for two days and see what happens. Don't just stand there and talk like you don't know what's going on.

I'm busy from morning till night, and my back is killing me!

Huang Lanhua got up and left, leaving Old Master Liu stunned. He hadn't expected Huang to refuse him, and to say such hurtful things, completely disregarding him. "Is she even speaking human language? How can I, as a grandfather, take care of my granddaughter-in-law during her postpartum period? If word gets out, I'll be cursed to death."

After being rebuffed by Huang Lanhua, Grandpa Liu went to find Liu Yiyue, this time changing his strategy. "My dear girl, are you busy?"

"Grandpa, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Grandpa Liu sighed, "Alas, your grandmother is sick and needs someone to take care of her. I've been taking care of her from dawn till dusk, and my health has deteriorated. As people get older, their energy and spirit decline day by day, and their bodies ache all over."

Your grandmother and I have been husband and wife for life. I can't just stand by and watch her lie in bed all disheveled. Your grandmother has always been clean and tidy. Treating her like that would be worse than letting her die.

When people get old, they become unpopular. Everyone looks at us old folks with displeasure. Isn't serving one's mother-in-law a mother's duty of filial piety? But your mother refuses to serve your grandmother no matter what. Although we could call your third aunt over to serve her, we followed the eldest son's family when the family was divided. It's not appropriate to call your third aunt unless absolutely necessary. She also has her own large family and can't stay in the old house all the time.

"My dear girl, what do you think Grandpa should do? And your second uncle's family is even less likely to join."

Grandpa Liu spoke with a sorrowful tone, his eyes even turning red. Liu Yiyue felt distressed seeing this. "Grandpa, don't be sad. There's always a solution. How about I go and take care of Grandma?"

Grandpa Liu was delighted, he had been waiting for you to say that. "Big girl, among all my granddaughters, you are the most considerate. You know how to care for people and who is close to whom. When you have time, talk to August more often. Even though she is married, she must not lose touch with her family. When you have time, visit your second uncle and April more often. We are all blood relatives. How much hatred can there be? What's past is past. Look forward to the future."

If you see your second uncle and aunt, tell them that Grandpa is sorry for them and ask them not to hold a grudge. When people get old, all they want is for their family to be together and live in peace.

You have no idea how much Grandpa envied those families who, on New Year's Eve, gather together for a meal and drinks, their children and grandchildren living in harmony, with loving fathers and filial sons, friendly brothers, helping each other to make a good living. With everyone in the family united, no one in the village dared to bully them.

"Grandpa, I understand how you feel. I will persuade Uncle and April. People are all made of flesh and blood. As long as we are sincere to them, they will definitely be able to understand the family's difficulties."

Grandpa, if you're not feeling well, go back inside and rest. I'll come check on Grandma in a bit.

"Okay, our family will depend on you from now on. Your father is no longer able to take care of himself, but your grandfather can't fall down. We still need to wait for your older brother to come back."

Grandpa Liu went back to his room, supporting his back. He could finally have some peace and quiet. His wife wouldn't nag him anymore. "Old woman," he said, "I've already talked to the eldest daughter. From now on, she'll take care of you. She can sleep here at night so she can look after you anytime. I'll go sleep in the other room myself."

"Okay, you can sleep in that room. You're too old to take care of me."

Grandpa Liu made himself a quilt and carried it to another room to sleep.

Liu Yiyue arrived shortly afterward. "Grandma, tell me if there's anything you want to do."

"You'll move in with Grandma tonight. Your Grandpa has already moved to that room."

Liu Yiyue hadn't expected that her grandfather's request for her to take care of someone meant for her to move in. She was unwilling, but the person had already moved out, so she had no choice but to come.

And so, Liu Yiyue was tormented by his wife every night, having to turn over, get up to pee, and drink water because he was thirsty. During the day, he still had to do housework. He was tormented like this for five or six days, and he was completely exhausted.

She ran out of firewood at home, so she ran up the mountain to collect some. She carried a bundle of firewood on her back, and suddenly everything went black; she fainted. Some villagers who were coming down the mountain saw her lying on the ground and recognized her as Liu Yiyue. They immediately carried her down the mountain and took her directly to Liu Dawang's house.

"Uncle Dawang, Aunt Feng, we found Yiyue unconscious on the mountain, so we brought her back to you."

"Do you know what she went up the mountain for?"

"She must have gone to collect firewood. I saw a bundle of firewood where she collapsed."

"Okay, thank you!"

Liu Siyue was inside the space and had no idea what was happening outside. Madam Feng quickly sent someone to fetch a doctor, while she hurried to call Siyue.

She knocked on the door and called out, "April, April, open the door quickly, your eldest sister has fainted on the mountain."

When April heard it was Madam Feng's voice, she came out carrying the child. "Mother, what did you just say? I didn't hear you."

"A villager just saw your older sister collapse on the mountain and brought her back. I've already sent someone to fetch a doctor."

Liu Siyue didn't show much emotion, only saying "Oh," and then went back to her room. "Let her go now that she's awake."

Dr. Wu arrived shortly after. "Dr. Wu, please take a look. This child fainted on the mountain in January and hasn't woken up yet."

Dr. Wu sat down to take her pulse. "You've been overworked and malnourished, and the symptoms left over from the previous high fever haven't fully healed. All these factors combined have caused you to fall ill. I'll prescribe some medicine. Get plenty of rest, eat good food, and you'll be fine after a while."

"Then why hasn't she woken up yet?"

"I can wake her up with just one injection, but she's too tired. Let her get some sleep, and she'll wake up naturally when she wakes up."

"Have someone come with me to get the medicine."

"Qingwu, go with Doctor Wu to get the medicine!"

"Madam, why don't you wake her up and let her leave?"

"Don't ask anymore, just hurry up and go get the medicine."

"Madam, the master said that she is not allowed to come to the end of the village anymore, and I am sorry that I cannot obey."

Madam Feng then asked Chunhua to go, but Chunhua lowered her head and remained silent. She knew she couldn't command these people, so she could only call Ruyu over and say, "Ruyu, go and get the medicine from Doctor Wu."

"Mother, this is not a good idea. We should wake up our eldest cousin. She has her own money and can get her own medicine. We can't subsidize her. Our fourth cousin said that we are not allowed to pay attention to our eldest cousin."

She used the money her cousin from April to subsidize the old village, and we subsidized her in return. Doesn't that mean we used her cousin's money to subsidize the old house?

Mother knows how much my cousin April hates the old house!

"But she's unconscious right now, and I can't bear to wake her up."

"What's there to be reluctant about? Didn't she choose this path herself?"

"Everyone has been sent here. This is the only time. Mother won't interfere again."

"Alright, Mother needs to know how we got our good life, so she won't be so kind."

"You little brat, you're lecturing your mother now!"
