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

Huang Lanhua spat at him, "Who would believe your words?"

"How can you make me believe?"

"Take back control of the household, and I'll trust you."

"Okay, give me some time."

Liu Dahu started pulling at his clothes, saying, "You'd better yell louder, or I've told Dad he's coming to deal with you."

The louder Huang Lanhua screamed, the more satisfied Liu Dahu became. "You wretched woman, I'll beat you to death! How dare you disobey your father and show me respect! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

The two were having a great time in the room, but Liu Yiyue, who was sleeping next door, was getting restless. Why were her parents fighting? Everyone in the family was disturbed and came to the yard. Only the old couple were still asleep. "Old woman, did you hear that? The eldest son is dealing with that arrogant Huang Shi. Women, you know, if you don't discipline them for three days, they'll get itchy."

"Old man, why don't you go out and try to persuade him, teach him a lesson? Don't let the eldest son hurt him badly, otherwise who will do the housework?"

"It won't hurt her. Huang Shi has a lot of flesh on her body. Even if you hit her, it will only cause some superficial injuries. It won't be a big deal."

Liu Yiyue pounded loudly on the door, "Dad, please stop hitting Mom! If you keep hitting her, someone will die! Our family is already in enough chaos, please don't make things worse!"

After finishing his business, Liu Dahu lay limply on the bed, panting heavily. Huang Lanhua, who had been quiet, pretended to be scared and wronged after being beaten, and began to sob softly, "Mother, are you alright?"

"Daughter, I'm fine. You take the children back to sleep and don't get cold."

"Mother, open the door and let me in to take a look."

Liu Dahu roared, "What are you looking at? Go back to sleep!"

"Daughter, go back to sleep, don't anger your father."

Liu Yiyue was worried about her mother and couldn't sleep even after going back to bed. The children, on the other hand, fell asleep quickly. She didn't hear the door open and knew her father was still inside. She listened carefully to the sounds from next door, worried that her mother would be beaten again.

The noise woke up the neighbors, who cursed the family for having too much trouble, and it became the talk of the village.

Huang Lanhua nestled in Liu Dahu's arms, whispering softly, "Honey, your family beat me up. I'll have to stay in bed for a few days, or they'll find out."

"You can just lie there. Your eldest daughter will take care of things at home, so don't worry."

"Tell me, how do you plan to take back control of the family?"

"Just like you said before, steal all the land deeds and house deeds, keep them for ourselves, and then I'll insist that they were given to me by my father, and even if the clan chief and village chief come, it won't work."

"Why aren't you letting me keep an eye on things?"

"Why? I'm afraid your brothers will come and drain our family's coffers."

"You don't believe me?"

"You're my wife, of course I trust you, but I don't trust your brothers. Go to sleep now, I'm exhausted from all this commotion. Tomorrow you'd better act convincingly, or the old man will not forgive me if you give yourself away."

"Okay, tomorrow if you need some money, just say you want to buy me some medicine to apply. They definitely won't give it to me, so I'll just stay in bed for a few more days."

"I know, you women are such a hassle."

"What did you say? You think I'm a hassle? You damn fool, why don't you think I'm a hassle when you're having fun? Get down here, go back to your pigsty!"

"I said something wrong, okay? Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Liu Yiyue didn't sleep a wink all night. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were swollen and puffy. She heard the door next door open and Liu Dahu walked out in a refreshed manner, skipping back to his own room.

Seeing that Liu Dahu had left, she quickly ran to her mother's room. Huang Lanhua was sleeping soundly. "Mother, where are you hurt? Let me see. Is it serious? I'll go and get a doctor for you."

Huang Lanhua was annoyed by the noise around her. "Can't a person get some sleep this early in the morning?!"

"Mother, it's me. Father hit you last night. Where are you hurt?"

"My dear daughter! My injuries are all over my body, but it's alright, they're just superficial wounds. I'm in pain all over and can't get up. I'll have to rely on you to take care of the family these next few days."

"Yes, Mother, please rest well. I will take good care of the house."

Everyone in the family got up. Master Liu was in a particularly good mood today. When he went to Liu Dahu's room, he said, "Eldest son, well done. This woman said she wanted to be disciplined. See? She behaved herself after being disciplined."

Have I handed everything over to you?

"No, she said there was only that land deed, nothing else."

"Impossible! How could she not have money? Did you bring the land deed?"

"I searched her body thoroughly but couldn't find it, so I punished her severely. She probably won't be able to get out of bed for several days. Dad, there's a lot of work to do at home. Can you give me some money so I can buy some ointment for Huang Shi to apply? Otherwise, she'll recover slowly, and there will be no one to do the work at home. She'll have to stay in bed for a few more days."

"Where would you get the money? We don't even have enough money to buy medicine for your mother! Huang Shi has thick skin; she's just a little scratch, she doesn't need medicine at all."

Grandpa Liu turned and left. Just as he stepped out of the house, he saw Liu Yiyue standing there. "What are you doing standing here so early in the morning?"

"Grandpa, we only have enough food left at home for one meal."

"Whether I can turn into food or not, you'll have to figure that out yourself."

"Grandpa, what can I do? If we don't buy food today, the whole family will go hungry."

"If you want food, go find your mother. Don't you only listen to yourself?"

Grandpa Liu snorted and went out the door, then took the village's oxcart to town. The oxcart was already full of people, so Grandpa Hu told everyone to squeeze in and leave.

As soon as Old Master Liu got into the oxcart, someone asked, "Old Master, there was quite a commotion at your house last night. Did Da Hu beat up Huang Shi?"

"I don't know anything about what happened in their room."

"Are you going to town today?"

"This family is in decline. Yesterday, Qingshan's wife beat me up. The first injury hasn't fully healed yet, and now she's been beaten again, making the injury even worse. If this continues, I might not even be able to save my life."

I'm going to town to get some medicine for my wife so she can get better quickly, otherwise she'll be bedridden for the rest of her life.

"Old man, I'm not trying to be rude, but your family is quite wealthy. The money you've spent on medical treatment and medicine lately could have built a big brick house."

"Where will the money come from? I don't even have money to buy medicine for my wife, and we've run out of rice to cook. I'm already so old, and I still have to go out and find a way to make a living. Life is so hard!"

They say they have three sons, but none of them are reliable. They live a life of luxury, and they don't care about their parents' well-being.

"Grandpa, that's not how it works. In our Liujia Village, people of your generation are old enough to be your father. You look like your brother to Dahu."

The old lady is well-fed; few women in the village can compare to her.

"That's because we have a good foundation." Then he fell silent.

When Grandpa Liu arrived in town, he first went to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Seeing that they were selling eggs, he bought 10 eggs as well. He said, "We're both getting old. We should eat as much as we can while we still can. When we're really old and can't move anymore, we won't have anything to eat."

She bought 10 more chicks after seeing the vendor selling them. She also wanted to buy piglets, but couldn't find any. On the street, she saw someone selling mushrooms. When she asked the price, she found some were 10 coins per catty and others were 30 coins per catty. Okay, she decided to send them to the mountains to pick mushrooms to sell.

I found a rice shop and bought 2 jin of white rice and 10 jin of brown rice. I was almost out of money, so I had to get some back quickly. Without money, I felt uneasy and insecure.

Upon arriving at the town entrance, Old Master Liu put his things away and waited for everyone to arrive before heading back to the village. He sat to the side, thinking about ways to make money.
