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

As Lu Yunzhou walked and pondered, he unknowingly reached a fork in the road. He looked up in the direction of Liujia Village and strode away.

When he arrived at the entrance of Liujia Village, the entrance was surrounded by a wall, leaving only enough space for vehicles to pass. He straightened his clothes, tidied his hair, and walked into the village with his chest out and head held high.

Several women from Liujia Village saw a handsome young man carrying a box enter the village and looked him over curiously. "Whose son is this? He's so handsome and has such an outstanding air about him. He looks like a scholar."

"I don't know, are they related to someone?"

"I've never heard of any scholar in the village. Look how handsome that young master is. It would be great if we could take him back as our son-in-law."

"What are you dreaming of? With your daughter's looks, do you think anyone would even look at her?"

"My daughter is much prettier than yours."

"You two stop arguing, what are you dreaming about! If you ask me, the only one in our village who is worthy of this young master is Da Wang's daughter."

"That's right. The five beauties of Dawang's family are really good-looking. I wonder which lucky boy will be able to marry one of them."

In the past, no one dared to marry the king's daughter; now, even if someone wanted to, they couldn't. The world has turned upside down.

"Look, he's walking this way."

Lu Yunzhou noticed several women looking in his direction. He walked over lightly, gave a deep bow, and said, "Hello, ladies and aunties, may I ask how to get to Liu Dawang's house?"

People of this era naturally hold scholars in awe, especially those in the countryside, who hold them in the highest esteem. If a village produces a scholar, it is a remarkable achievement, and if the scholar passes the imperial examination at the county level, it is an unparalleled honor for the village.

"May I ask who you are, sir?"

"My name is Lu Yunzhou, and Liu Dawang is my second uncle."

"Lu Yunzhou, Lu Yunzhou, why does that name sound so familiar!"

"Yeah, that sounds familiar!"

"Oh right, I remember now, isn't that the studious son of the Lu family in Bainiwan? His name is Lu Yunzhou, April's ex-boyfriend."

Lu Yunzhou saw and heard the women whispering among themselves.

"Are you the second son of the Lu family in Bainiwan?"

"Yes, that's right, junior."

The women didn't dare do anything too outrageous to Lu Yunzhou, after all, he was a scholar. They just snorted coldly, "From what lineage do you call Dawang 'Second Uncle'?"

"My wife, Liu Siyue, is Liu Dawang's niece. I have come here today to see Siyue and my daughter."

"Didn't you two get divorced? What's there to see? Your family looks down on April like this and that, what's gotten into you that you suddenly decided to come see her and her daughter?"

"I made a mistake in a moment of confusion, and I have come here today specifically to apologize and hope to receive your forgiveness in April."

As the sage said: "No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes. To err is human, to forgive divine."

"You're spouting all that fancy stuff, we don't understand it."

"What I mean is that everyone makes mistakes. As long as you know where you went wrong and can correct your mistakes, that is the greatest good deed. Even saints make mistakes, let alone us ordinary people."

It's not terrible for people to make mistakes; what's terrible is not knowing where you went wrong and not correcting your mistakes. People should be tolerant of others; forgiving others is also forgiving yourself. Being able to correct your mistakes and start anew is also a way to cultivate your character.

I regret not cherishing April in the past. I only hope that April can give me a chance to make amends. I also want to give her and the child a complete family, so that the child won't be ridiculed when they grow up.

The women found the reasoning quite reasonable. They reasoned that as long as one recognized their mistakes and repented, there was some redress. They compared their husbands to others, who hadn't made mistakes? He'd peeked at a widow bathing, wanted to divorce her and marry another widow, stole money from the family to gamble, and caused his father to die of anger…

Now that he has realized his mistake, he is still a happy family. However, they are reluctant to let April leave. If April leaves, will she abandon the people of Liujia Village? This matter must be reported to the village chief.

"You stay here and don't go any further. We need to inform the village chief."

Lu Yunzhou didn't argue and just waited obediently. Several women watched him, and soon more and more villagers gathered.

After hearing the woman's explanation of Lu Yunzhou's purpose in coming to the village, the village chief said, "Village chief, if Siyue goes to Baini Bay with the Lu family boy, will he abandon our village? We want Siyue to be happy, but we can't bear to see her leave."

After learning about this, Liu Jinsheng could not act rashly. She had to listen to Siyue's own opinion. No matter what decision Siyue made, she would always be a daughter of Liujia Village, and Liujia Village would always be her support.

"I'll go talk to April about this. You guys keep an eye on Lu Yunzhou and make sure he doesn't wander around the village. If April doesn't want to see him, then just kick him out."

Liu Jinsheng went to find Siyue. When the woman returned, she saw that the place was surrounded by a huge crowd. Lu Yunzhou stood in the center of the crowd and began his wonderful speech: "Dear uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, my name is Lu Yunzhou. You may not know me. I am Liu Siyue's husband, the second son of the Lu family in Bainiwan. I am currently studying at the county school and have passed the preliminary examination. I will soon take the provincial examination to become a Xiucai."

I used to be blindly filial, unable to see the good in April, and I listened to my mother in everything. But my mother was doing it for my own good. As a son, I should put filial piety first. Our Great Sheng Dynasty values ​​filial piety, so how can there be a reason for children to be unfilial to their parents?

During these days apart, I miss April more and more. It's hard for me to get through the days without her. I have no motivation to study. Before, when she was by my side, she always encouraged me and gave me confidence.

My mother also regretted it deeply, saying that she was blind and shouldn't have treated Siyue that way. Siyue is sensible and filial, and she is good at both home and work. She is willing to personally go to Siyue's house to apologize, hoping that I can have a complete family, that my husband and I can be reunited, and that my child can have both a father and a mother.

Today I specially prepared a generous gift to see April, hoping she can give me a chance, and also give herself and the child a chance. I don't want my daughter to not be able to marry into a good family in the future, and I don't want her to be looked down upon by others for the rest of her life.

My relationship with April dates back to childhood; it's not something I can just sever so easily!

It must be said that Lu Yunzhou's words were very pertinent, and every word resonated with the hearts of everyone present: "If the elders are not kind, the younger generation will have a hard time. Look at the Liu Dahu family, look at the state they've made of their lives."

"This child is pitiful. Having such a terrible mother must be exhausting. Now that he has figured things out, he can stand on his own two feet, protect his wife and child, and wants to take April back. I think that's a good thing."

It's said that even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days as husband and wife is as deep as the sea. They've had a bond since childhood, how could they so easily sever it? Isn't it better for the child to have the love of his own parents? Think about it, can stepparents treat their children well?

Besides, if this boy passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar, April will be his wife. If he becomes a high-ranking official, April will be his wife, and her daughter will be a noblewoman. Our Liu Family Village will then have a son-in-law who becomes an official.

"I don't think so. What's the use of just talking? Maybe he just wants to marry her because she can make money now and be their cash cow so he can continue his studies."

You all think studying is so easy? It requires spending a lot of money. I've heard people say that even if you pass the imperial examination, you might not become an official. You need connections and money to bribe officials.

"You know quite a lot, but we're all outsiders. April knows the truth best. Everything depends on April's decision. Whether April stays or leaves, we, the people of Liujia Village, are April's family. No one can bully her."
