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

Seeing that Liu Siyue was busy all day and didn't go to see her, Madam Feng took the initiative to come and find her. "Siyue, what are you busy with all day? You send the child to his mother every day and pick him up in the evening. I don't see him all day."

Since you moved out and no longer live at home, and Ruyun and Ruxue are not home either, the house feels empty. Ruyu spends all day practicing martial arts, and Ruyue and Ruxing are always busy, either learning this or that. Your second uncle is the same; he leaves in the morning and doesn't come back until evening. Luckily, your cousin came, otherwise there would be no one to talk to at home.

None of you are married yet. If you were, the house would be so lonely and desolate.

"Mother, you can also go out and about. You don't have to stay at home. Go to the houses of people you know in the village and chat with them. That way you won't be so bored. You don't have to carry Yao'er all day long. Just put her in the stroller and keep an eye on her. You can push her wherever you want to go."

"Mother can also go to the estate with Second Uncle. I can take care of the children myself. There are so many people in the family, I'm not worried about who will look after them."

"What are you saying? Do you think your mother doesn't want to help you take care of your child?" Madam Feng was a little angry.

"Mom, you misunderstood. What I meant was that we have a large family, and it's not necessary for you to raise the child all by yourself. Raising a child is very hard work, and I'm worried that you'll be overworked. I also want you to have some peace and quiet and enjoy a few days of pampered life so you can take good care of your body and skin. Look at Sister Wang's mother, she's much older than you, but she looks younger than you. That's because she doesn't have to do any work every day. She just needs to be a good housewife and manage the people."

What does the matriarch of the household do? She makes decisions when things happen. Mothers need to cultivate this ability in themselves, so that when the family grows big and prosperous, the matriarch will be in charge.

"Mother, spend more time learning to read and write with Ruyue and Ruxing, and also learning to keep accounts."

"Okay, Mother understands."

Let's go home for dinner with Mom tonight. Mom likes it when there are lots of people around, and I'll be happy to see you all eating.

"Okay, I'll definitely come over at dinner time."

"Alright, alright, Mother will go back and make the arrangements right away."

When Madam Feng was about to leave, she saw a lot of dark, round things drying on the mat, and she became curious. "April, what are you messing around with? It's all dark and round and round."

"Mom, this is called mosquito coil, it's the new business I'm going to start."

"Mosquito coils, what are they, and what are they used for? Look at the incense we buy, they're all straight, but yours are still like this. How are people supposed to burn incense? They can't even stick it into the incense burner."

"This incense is different from the incense we usually use; it's specifically for repelling mosquitoes."

"To repel mosquitoes?"

"Yes, it's for repelling mosquitoes, but there aren't any mosquitoes now. We'll see if it works once there are. I've also made soap to wash clothes and hands. I just figured it out, so I don't know if it will work."

"If we could make mosquito coils, that would be wonderful. There are so many mosquitoes here in the summer that we can't sleep well at night. If we don't have mugwort ropes and artemisia, we can forget about sleeping at night."

"The wealthy people in the city are lucky; they have mosquito nets to sleep under at night. But we country folk can't afford mosquito nets at all; we just have to make do."

"I was thinking about how many mosquitoes there are in the summer. Sister Wang said there aren't any mosquito repellent products yet, so if this product is really effective, I believe it will sell well."

"Then you go ahead with your work, Mother will head back now."

When Madam Feng returned home, she instructed the kitchen to prepare more delicious food. Ruyue and Ruxing, upon hearing their mother's words, knew that their cousin April was coming home for dinner. Since April left home, everything in the house had changed, and the liveliness and joy of the past were gone.

Madam Feng was directing things in the kitchen with her child when the cook persuaded her to come out, saying, "Madam, I've remembered everything you said. Please take the young master back to your room to rest. It's too smoky here; be careful not to choke on the smoke."

Madam Feng took the children back to the main room and sat down to chat with her niece, Hongmei. The two children kept babbling away.

Liu Jinsheng reached the end of the village, unaware that Liu Siyue had already moved. She went directly to Liu Dawang's house. Xiao Tao saw the village chief arrive and greeted him with a smile, "The village chief is here. I'll go in and inform Madam."

Xiao Tao went in and came out a while later. "Village Chief, Madam invites you in."

When Hongmei saw that guests had arrived, she immediately stood up and said, "Aunt, I'll go back to my room first."

"Okay, you can go back to your room and rest now."

"Let Yao'er come with me; it's inconvenient for you to be with the child."

"No need, they're all acquaintances, and you can't keep an eye on the two kids anyway."

When Liu Jinsheng entered the main room, Madam Feng quickly asked him to sit down and had Xiao Tao serve tea. "What brings you here today, Village Chief?"

"I came to see Siyue, but the Lu family from Bainiwan came looking for me. They're in the village now and want to see Siyue, but I stopped them from coming over."

"The Lu family, you mean the in-laws' family from before April?"

"Yes, it's that family. The one who came is her husband, Lu Yunzhou."

"It's been almost a year since we divorced, what's he doing here?"

"From what I heard, she wants to get back together with April. I didn't kick her out, after all, it's April's own business, it concerns her whole life, and the child too, so she has to make the decision herself."

"The village chief is right. She has to make the decision herself. April is a woman of her word, and I believe she won't make a mistake."

"I'll have someone call April over right away. Xiao Tao, go to that house and invite your master over."

"Yes, madam."

When Xiao Tao arrived at Liu Siyue's residence, she said, "Master, Madam requests your presence."

"So early, it's not even dinner time yet. Has Second Uncle come back?"

"The master hasn't returned yet; the village chief has come looking for you."

"Oh, then I'll go take a look."

Liu Siyue went into her room to wash up before going to her second uncle's house.

"Uncle Village Chief, it's been a long time! How's everything at home?"

"Good, all good. Those chili seedlings that were planted are growing very well. Your aunt goes to check on them every day."

"What brings Uncle Village Chief here today?"

Liu Jinsheng then told you about Lu Yunzhou's visit to the village, "In April, that person was still in the village. It seems he wanted to get back together with you. After all, this is a matter of your whole life. I'm just letting you know, and you have to make the decision yourself."

After listening, Liu Siyue remained silent, lowering her head in deep thought. Wanting to get back together with me? Has she lost her mind? Scholars are full of tricks; is she plotting something against me? For money, that's the only possibility.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.

She raised her head. "Mother, watch over Yao'er. I'm going to the village to see what that person's purpose is."

"In April, don't act impulsively. No matter what he says or what you think, come back and think it through before making a decision."

"Mother, I know, I just want to go and take a look."

The village chief and April walked towards the village together. "Uncle Village Chief," April said, "there are quite a few pregnant women in the village this year, mostly in this month. Everyone is really going all out to get more money."

"Yes, I didn't expect so many people in the village to get pregnant all at once. If this batch of babies is born, there will be quite a few. Then the village will be full of children."

Everyone believes in the blessings of many children and a thriving family. The addition of new members to the village is a great joy, as a large population means greater strength, and no one will dare to cause trouble in our village in the future.

"It's good to have a lot of people, but it's a problem that all these pregnant women are getting pregnant in the same period of time. It will be difficult to find a midwife when it's time to give birth. Childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. And I heard that there are even a few older women who are pregnant. It's really worrying."

"Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it. This is a really big problem. If something goes wrong, it could be disastrous. I'll have to think about it carefully when we get back."
