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

Some villagers immediately ran to inform the village chief, while others picked up a tree branch or rushed home to grab hoes and sticks and ran to the village entrance. They were determined to keep people out of the village and prevent them from entering.

Looking at the unconscious Lu Tongsheng, Grandpa Wei asked, "What happened? Did he catch the plague?"

Doctor Yang repeatedly assured him, "Uncle Wei, I assure you, it's definitely not the plague. If it were the plague, wouldn't I be afraid? I still have a family to support!"

"Let's hurry into the village and take them back; this isn't right to do this outside."

Grandpa Wei thought Dr. Yang made sense; who would risk their life? So he hurried on toward the village and saw a large group of people walking toward them from afar.

"Everyone, hurry up, the person is just ahead."

As the oxcart approached, the villagers immediately lined up, blocking the road and pointing at it with their tools, shouting, "Stop! If you go any further, we won't be so polite!"

Grandpa Wei quickly reined in the oxcart, "What are you all doing?"

"The people in your car have the plague. Are you trying to kill everyone in the village?"

Dr. Yang quickly explained, "Everyone has misunderstood. Lu Tongsheng doesn't have the plague; he's just sick."

"What illness does he have? You weren't even with him, how do you know he's just sick and not has the plague? Do you have the plague too?"

"Yes, Dr. Yang, didn't you say you met in the county town? How do you know he doesn't have the plague?"

"Exactly, you should at least find a good excuse to lie."

Lu Yunping also stepped forward to explain, "My brother really doesn't have the plague. I'm with him every day, and look at me, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"Don't try to fool us. You might have contracted the plague too, but you just haven't shown symptoms yet, so you don't know it."

"That's the truth. Don't try to fool us. We won't let you into the village no matter what you say."

A moment later, Village Chief Wei came running up, panting. He was also shocked when he heard the news. Someone had been infected with the plague, which was terrible. When he saw the large group of people standing at the entrance of the village, he was relieved. At least they had stopped the people and prevented a major disaster.

Just then, someone from the village came running towards them, crying and shouting, "That damned woman, spewing filth from her mouth, saying my son has the plague, I'll tear that stinking mouth of hers apart!"

When everyone turned around, they saw Lu Tongsheng's parents, Granny Liu and Lu Decai. Granny Liu tried to squeeze into the crowd as soon as she arrived, but was stopped by the villagers. "Granny Liu, if you dare to go out, don't even think about coming back into the village."

"I need to go be with my son, let me out."

"Old Liu, you'd better think this through. This is no small matter."

"I've thought it through. Do you think I don't know whether my son has the plague or not? My son just has a bad cough, it's not a serious illness, what's the big deal?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately retreated a great distance. "Village chief, it seems they're hiding something from everyone. We must keep an eye on them."

"Yes, village chief, we must keep an eye on him. Just now, Lu Tongsheng was coughing violently, it was terrifying. Then Doctor Yang stabbed him to death with one needle and he didn't move."

"A few men, take Granny Liu and Lu Decai back to their house and keep them under surveillance. They are not allowed to leave."

Granny Liu cursed loudly, and with surprising force, she broke free from the two men and ran to the oxcart. "Zhou'er, Zhou'er, what's wrong with you? You said you wanted to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official, how could you abandon your mother and break your promise!"

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? My brother isn't dead, he's just temporarily unconscious. He'll wake up soon."

Granny Liu cried and cursed, while Doctor Yang and Lu Yunping were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. "Village chief, my brother is sick, but it's definitely not the plague. I swear to God."

"Village chief, don't listen to him! What wouldn't he do to survive?"

Doctor Yang was sweating profusely. If this were really diagnosed as a plague, they would suffer greatly. He looked at Lu Yunzhou and said, "Lu Tongsheng, I can't keep it a secret for you anymore. I have no other choice."

Yunping, you've seen the situation now. We have to tell the truth, otherwise, we might not have a good ending.

"Dr. Yang, things have come to this point, so let's just talk about it. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever, and everyone will find out sooner or later."

Doctor Yang looked at the villagers and said, "Village chief, fellow villagers, let me tell you the truth. I accompanied the Lu brothers to the prefectural city for medical treatment. Lu Tongsheng is indeed sick, and very sick, but it is not a plague."

If it were a plague, we wouldn't have been able to return from the prefectural city; we would probably have all been burned to death.

Lu Tongsheng's illness could not be cured by all the famous doctors in the prefectural city, so I returned home.

"You say it's not the plague, but what evidence do you have? The way he got sick is exactly the same as the plague from more than 20 years ago."

"Since you say he doesn't have the plague, then what is it? Even the most renowned doctors in the prefectural city can't cure it, so it can't be a good illness. Don't even think about entering the village until you explain yourself clearly. We'll report you to the authorities and send you to the yamen."

"Does everyone remember that Lu Tongsheng was sick when he was a child? Do you remember what the fortune teller said?"

"Of course I remember. The fortune teller said that his family should buy a child bride with the same birth date as her, and after the girl comes of age and they get married, Lu Tongsheng's illness will be completely cured."

"Indeed."

"Lu Tongsheng's fate is not good, so he can only change his fate by relying on other people's fates. He was able to have a good fate before because Liu Shi from Liujia Village extended his life and changed his fate. Liu Shi is his destined person. His rise and fall, honor and disgrace in this life all depend on Liu Shi."

For this reason, we also visited the famous Tianyuan Temple in the prefectural city to visit the eminent monk, Master Zhikong. He had never even met us, yet he knew what Lu Tongsheng was asking for.

The master's meaning was clear: Lu Tongsheng did not have an illness, but rather needed someone else to change his fate. The person who could change his fate was Liu Shi, so his fate was in Liu Shi's hands.

Now you all understand, right? Lu Tong's fate was unfavorable, while Liu's fate was auspicious.

The villagers were in an uproar. "I knew it! Liu was a lucky woman for her husband and family. Now look what's happened! She's disgusted with him, yet she can't leave him. Now we'll have a good show to watch."

"Who can we blame? Everyone says they brought it on themselves." The villagers' previous fear and apprehension quickly turned into entertainment and gossip.

Granny Liu snorted angrily, "Pah! You surnamed Yang, stop talking nonsense. My son is the reincarnation of the God of Literature, with a very precious destiny. It's those people who are bad at medicine and can't even cure a small cough. They're just making things up on purpose."

Stop trying to flatter that bitch Liu. I know what you're thinking. You just want to suck up to Liu so she can make money for you.

"Hmph! You think you can even get into the Lu family? Not a chance!"

"Mother, just say less. I'll explain everything to you in detail when we get back."

"Village chief, may we enter the village now?"

"Everyone, go home and do what you need to do. Don't blame us for being nervous; this plague is no joke."

"We all know, and we won't blame anyone."

The villagers all went home. Lu Yunping carried Lu Yunzhou back inside, and Granny Liu closed the door. "Eldest son, what happened to your brother? Why isn't he awake yet?"

Lu Yunping didn't even care about his wife at the moment. He quickly explained to his parents, "Father, Mother, what Doctor Yang said just now is true. If I want to live and become a high-ranking official, I must marry Liu Shi."

"If you don't believe me, look at my little brother's hair. He's already getting gray hairs. The doctor said that every time he has an attack of his illness, it drains his energy and spirit, causing his hair to gradually turn white, making him age slowly, and eventually leading to his death. If Lady Liu were here, she could defy fate."

"That little bitch Liu, she's already gone, but she still drags my son down with her. How could I let her get away with this!"

"Mother, why didn't you understand what I said!"
