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

August walked out of the courtyard and saw a lot of people gathered at the gate. She first looked at her mother-in-law, then at her eldest sister and her mother. When Liu Yiyue met August's gaze, she quickly lowered her head.

Huang Lanhua had wanted to hit Bayue for a long time. When she saw Bayue come out, she didn't say anything and immediately rushed up to her. She grabbed Bayue's hair and slapped her twice. "You traitor! Your pitiful appearance before was all an act. You don't even recognize your own family after you got married. You black-hearted thing, I raised you for nothing for more than ten years."

Huang Lanhua's sudden action caught everyone off guard. Bai's mother was furious and grabbed a rolling pin, striking Huang Lanhua's arm violently. "Huang, you are August's mother, and I have some respect for you. Today, you hit my daughter-in-law in front of me. I will not let this go."

"You old bastard, you're hogging my daughter's dowry, you're shameless."

Liu Yiyue quickly pulled her mother away, "Mother, please stop talking. This isn't Bayue's fault; it's my own problem."

"Shut up, you spineless coward, you can't even protect your own things."

"Mother, my eldest sister left the land deed with me. I had no intention of keeping it for myself. My second sister gave me the land and also gave it to my eldest sister. Why would I want my eldest sister's things?"

My older sister said she'd let me keep it for now, and she'd ask me for it when she needed it. It's not like what my mother said. You can ask my older sister if you don't believe me.

"Big sister, don't you think so?"

"Mother, that's how it is, you can't blame August."

"Elder sister, you brought Mother here, are you here to retrieve the land deed?"

"What are we doing here if we're not going to get the land deed back? Hand it over now!"

"Big sister, I'll only listen to you."

"Mother said she was afraid the land deed would be lost, so she wanted to take it back."

"Do you want to take it back?"

"I'll listen to my mother."

In August, he took out the land deed and handed it to Liu Yiyue, saying, "Big sister, take the land deed."

"Mother, in front of all the neighbors today, I'll say it again: Mother-in-law did not take my dowry. I asked her to manage it for me. I am a daughter-in-law of the Bai family, so naturally I must put the Bai family first in everything. As you say, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl."

I am like water spilled from a cup; the Liu family is my maternal home that I can never return to, but the Bai family is my home for life. My parents-in-law and husband have all treated me very well, and I love this family.

My mother-in-law treats me like her own daughter, and I naturally treat her like my own mother. This is how kindness begets kindness.

Of course, I will always remember my mother's kindness in raising me. I will always give her the proper gifts during festivals. My son will inherit the family property after the division of the estate. When I got married, I didn't take a single piece of firewood from the Liu family, and I even left all my betrothal money behind.

"You, you, you really are an ungrateful wretch who can't be tamed."

"January, did you hear that? This is the sister you've been protecting so much, this is the daughter I've raised with such care and love! Oh God! What terrible things have I done?!"

"Sister, hurry up and help Mother home, don't let the villagers laugh at us."

Liu Yiyue's face was very unpleasant. After her mother's outburst today, how could she ever face the Bai family again? The Bai family would probably make things difficult for August. If the couple developed further discord, that would be terrible.

Sigh! It's all my fault for talking too fast.

Liu Yiyue helped her mother walk away. Not far away, Huang Lanhua took the land deed, saying it was safer to keep it on her own. If she went back and her old man at home intercepted it, then all her efforts would have been in vain.

After everyone left in August, she returned to the courtyard. She felt embarrassed and angry. Her older sister was really brainless. She had been thinking of her best interests, but her sister had betrayed her in the blink of an eye. She would never care about her affairs again.

As Huang Lanhua left, everyone spat and said, "Sister-in-law Bai, it's not worth getting angry with someone like Huang. Your family made the right choice in marrying Bayue. She's devoted to her husband's family, so your life won't be bad."

"I just feel sorry for August. She has suffered since she was a child. Now that she is married, she is still being scolded by her own mother like this."

"Look how much August protects you; your sister-in-law is destined for a life of luxury."

"That's right, August is a filial and sensible child."

"Let's go, let's go, hurry back and cook, the men should be back for dinner soon."

"What are you cooking today, sister-in-law? Your hands are covered in flour."

"Spring plowing is over, and everyone is tired, so let's make some dumplings to nourish our families."

"Of course, of course."

Huang Lanhua's prediction was correct; Old Master Liu and Liu Dahu were waiting in the courtyard. "Huang, bring out the land deed."

"Why should I give it to you? This is my own stuff this month, it has nothing to do with you."

"How can it not concern us? I'm her grandfather, the head of the Liu family. If I don't get these things, who should I give them to?"

"Father, have you forgotten that January has severed ties with our family? Her things belong to her alone, and she can give them to whomever she wants. That is her right and freedom."

"Young lady, you live and eat at home, shouldn't the land deed go to your grandfather?"

"Father, she's at home, eating and drinking whatever she wants. You took her blankets, and she still paid so much for medicine and took care of her grandmother. She gave more than she received."

If Father can't tolerate her, I'll go live with her and we'll be on our own, so I won't be in your way.

"Huang, you're increasingly disrespecting me, the head of the family. Do you really want a letter of divorce and to send you back to your parents' home?"

"You're the head of the family, but you only give your mother the best food and drink. What do we eat? Look at you and your mother, both of you have rosy complexions. And look at the others, what do they eat every day?"

Don't think we don't know you're giving us special treatment.

"In January, I went back to my room with my mother."

"Daughter, do you see? Only if the two of us are of one mind can we survive in this family. From now on, you only need to listen to your mother. Don't listen to anyone else. Your mother will take care of everything for you."

"Daughter, you are free now. I plan to buy a plot of land and build a few tiled houses, like the Bai family's houses, so that we can have a way out in the future."

Liu Yiyue rested her head on Huang's shoulder. Her mother was only thinking of her. "Mother, you are so good. I will listen to you."

Huang Lanhua was very satisfied with Liu Yiyue's attitude, unlike those two ingrates.

"Eldest brother, look at this, Huang is increasingly disrespecting us. We should teach her a lesson and make her hand over everything she has."

"Father, I understand. It's time to teach her a lesson."

Just as Huang fell asleep that night, Liu Dahu knocked on the door, "Huang, open the door quickly and let me in."

"What do you want to do so late? I'm already asleep. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"What do you think I want to do? I'm your man, so naturally I'll do what a man should do."

"Open the door or not? If you don't, I'm going to smash it down."

Huang Lanhua had no choice but to get up and open the door. It would be bad if the neighbors and children heard her making such a loud noise.

As soon as the door opened, Liu Dahu rushed in. Huang Lanhua closed the door, and Liu Dahu said impatiently, "Lanhua, I've missed you so much! Please forgive me and don't be angry with me. I didn't really want to use you to pay off my debts. I was just saying it casually to spite my brothers-in-law."

"Just saying it casually. You're always yelling at me to beat me up, but that's just casual talk too. Are you going to team up with your father to beat me up and punish me?"

"I was just trying to fool the old man, otherwise he would bother me all the time. My parents are of one mind and always think of themselves first. We are husband and wife, so of course we have to be of one mind."

"That's more like it. Let's get our hands on what the old man has so we can have a better life."
