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

The village chief had already spotted Feng Yuzhen and Siyue in the crowd. Knowing they had backing, he stopped trying to stop them. "Alright, if you've thought it through, then go ahead and report it to the authorities. If you need any help from the village, I, as the village chief, will definitely support you."

The Hu family was even more confused. They were the victims, and they should be the ones reporting to the authorities. How could things have turned out the other way around? "Village Chief Feng, don't push your luck. You beat people up and now you want to turn around and accuse us. We're going back to find our village chief and clan head to seek justice for us."

Liu Siyue came out and said, "Do you think you can just come and go as you please at the Feng family's gate? If robbers come to your door, do you think you can escape? Qingwu, go to the county government and report that someone has broken into a private residence and committed robbery."

This terrified the Hu family. When did they commit burglary? They refused to take the blame. An elder of the Hu family immediately stepped forward and said, "Who are you? Stop making false accusations. When did we commit burglary?"

Village Chief Feng, you can't let the villagers talk nonsense and label people randomly!

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you're eating delicious prison food. I've heard that prison food is very sour. In the prison, snakes, insects, and rats will all befriend you. They are the friendliest and love to crawl on people."

After Liu Siyue finished speaking, she felt uncomfortable all over. The Hu family members were even more frightened when they heard this, and their faces all changed. They didn't want to get involved in this mess, nor did they want the benefits that Hu Sijin's family had promised. They just wanted to go home as soon as possible, but the gate was blocked by the people from Fengjia Village. They were still injured and had no way to escape.

Qingwu was about to leave when she was immediately stopped by the Hu family. They didn't want to go to jail for this, and they knew they were in the wrong. Going there would be pointless; it would just be bullying.

"Village Chief Feng, don't forget the rules within the village. Shouldn't we negotiate privately first?"

"How do you want to negotiate?"

"This is just a minor squabble between a couple, nothing serious. It was my nephew's fourth uncle who beat him up without knowing the situation. Now look, we're the ones who suffered. There was no real grudge between the two families. How about this, my nephew's wife can come back with us and continue living a good life. The Feng family injured so many of our people, so they should give us some compensation. Let's settle this matter."

From now on, neither of us is allowed to bring this up again, Village Chief Feng, what do you think?

Village Chief Feng looked at Mr. and Mrs. Feng. The old couple didn't say anything. Their son was all grown up and it was time for them to handle it themselves. Feng Daqiang was furious. "You shameless people, you still want compensation? Do you still want my daughter to go back and continue to be beaten?"

Let me tell you, you're dreaming!

I disagree with this. I must report it to the authorities. My daughter wants a divorce from Hu Tiecheng and wants to send the Hu family to jail. Do they really think my daughter, Feng Daqiang's daughter, is easy to bully, or that the Feng family is easy to bully?

"Village chief, I'll go to the county government to report this to the authorities right away."

Feng Daqiang strode outside, with Qingwu clearing the way. The Hu family panicked completely. An elder of the Hu family grabbed Feng Daqiang's arm, saying, "Tiecheng's father-in-law, let's talk this out. Why are you so hot-tempered? We're all from the same village, and even related by marriage. There's no need to alarm the authorities. Besides, reporting this to the authorities will get you punished."

The elders of the Hu family tried to scare Feng Daqiang, but found it was useless. "Tiecheng's father-in-law, what do you want to do? Let me hear it."

"Who are you to be in charge of the Hu family?"

"I am Hu Baishun, the eldest son of the Hu family patriarch, and Hu Tiecheng's uncle. Besides, Tiecheng's eldest and second eldest brothers are still here. Even if I can't make the decision, they are still here."

"Kim Sung, Eun Sung, can you make the decision?"

"As long as the request isn't unreasonable, we can agree to it."

Hu Daqiang tried to calm himself down. He had finally come to this point. "First, I want Hongmei and Hu Tiecheng to divorce, and the two children to stay with Hongmei."

Secondly, the Hu family beat my daughter and drove her to commit suicide by jumping into the river. They must compensate me for the medical fees, medicine fees, and nutrition fees. I will give them 10 taels of silver.

Third, you damaged my front door, so you have to compensate me. My whole family was frightened and we need to call a doctor. I'll charge 200 coins per person. There are 21 people in my family, so the compensation is 420 coins. In addition, my three younger siblings are pregnant and were frightened, so their pregnancies are unstable. I'll give each of them 1 tael of silver for pregnancy care.

If you agree to these conditions, we'll drop the matter; otherwise, you'll definitely end up in jail.

"Second Uncle is right. We're very familiar with going to the yamen to file a complaint. You must all know about the case in Liujia Village last year."

Madam Feng also came over. "What Second Brother said makes perfect sense. He has wronged you in the slightest. If you don't agree to this, then we'll see each other in court."

"Who are you?"

"I am the great-aunt of the Feng family, and Hongmei's aunt. Do you have a problem with that?"

"No objection, no objection, it's just that she looks unfamiliar." Hu Baishun thought to himself, isn't this the daughter of the Feng family who married into Liujia Village? I've heard that her family is quite powerful and wealthy, and they know some influential people in the city.

Hu Jincheng and Hu Yincheng looked at each other. They dared not agree to such a big matter. "We brothers cannot make the decision on your request. We need to discuss it with our elders. Could you let us go back and ask for help?"

They looked at Hu Baishun again, "Uncle, say something!"

"Yes, we really can't make the decision on your request. We need to ask our elders to come so we can sit down and talk it over. We're all family, there's no deep-seated hatred between us."

Liu Siyue circled around the Hu family members and said, "Alright, send someone back. If they don't show up by 11 PM, don't blame us for being ruthless. Once they're in jail, it won't be easy for them to get out. You'd better think it through and don't try any tricks."

Hu Baishun immediately told Hu Jincheng to go back and fetch people, "Jincheng, hurry back and fetch your parents, my father, and the village chief, be quick."

"Uncle, I'm in pain all over. Could you lend me an oxcart? That would help me get there faster."

Upon hearing this, Hu Baishun realized it was true and they couldn't afford to delay, so he went to discuss it with Village Chief Feng. "Village Chief Feng, could I borrow your oxcart? That way, we can make the round trip faster."

"Our oxcart is busy right now, but for the sake of Village Chief Hu, we can rent it to you. 50 coins for this trip isn't too much, is it?"

"I didn't ask for much, I didn't ask for much, Jin Cheng, give me the money as soon as you get back, do you hear me?"

"Understood, Uncle."

"Village Chief Feng, don't worry, if they won't give me the money, I will."

Hu Jincheng followed Village Chief Feng to drive the oxcart, while the Feng family went back inside, leaving the Hu family outside.

The sisters-in-law of the Feng family had all gone to cook, and Madam Feng asked, "Mother, are all three of my younger brothers' wives pregnant?"

"Yes, I'm pregnant. It's only been a month. I was planning to tell you after the pregnancy was more stable, but things have come to this point, so I'm telling you now."

"Then let your younger siblings take good care of themselves and not overwork themselves. The first three months are the most important. Your younger brothers are not young anymore, and it's not easy for them to have a child."

"Mother knows that since they got pregnant, they haven't been allowed to do any work. When they go to the kitchen, your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law don't let them do any heavy work either. It's just picking vegetables and peeling garlic, nothing tiring."

A delicate aroma wafted from the kitchen, and the Hu family strained their noses to smell it. It smelled wonderful; the Feng family's meals were truly delicious.

The Feng family sat together for their meal, ignoring the Hu family in the courtyard and not even offering them a drop of water. After finishing their meal, the family members returned to their own rooms. Feng's mother told her three sons to send their wives back home, leaving them there to avoid any accidents.
