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

As the village chief and Liu Siyue were talking, they saw a crowd gathered ahead. "We're here. He's right there. The Lu family boy is inside talking to everyone."

As soon as the villagers saw that April had arrived, they immediately made way for her. Lu Yunzhou appeared in front of Liu Siyue. He had been standing there for a long time and his legs were getting numb.

Liu Siyue stood there, her arms crossed in front of her chest, just looking at him without saying a word. The villagers were also quiet, all looking at Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by so many eyes. At this moment, facing Liu Siyue, he was under immense psychological pressure. His heart was pounding wildly, and his legs were trembling from standing for so long.

He tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and walked a few steps forward with the basket. He stopped about three feet away from Liu Siyue and gave her a big smile. "Siyue, long time no see! How are you and the child?"

Liu Siyue remained silent, looking at him with a mocking expression, as if to say, "Go ahead and use whatever tricks you have."

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Lu Yunzhou continued, "April, I know I was a jerk before and didn't treat you well. It's only after we've been apart for so long that I realize how good you are."

I'm not here to cause trouble. I just wanted to see you and our daughter. I want to give you and our daughter a complete family. I hope you can give me a chance to change my ways and fulfill my responsibilities as a father.

"Are you done talking? You can leave now. I'm busy and don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"In April, I spoke the truth without a single lie. I hope you can give me a chance."

"You call yourself a scholar? You have such a thick skin. How did your family manage to kick me and my child out? My child was premature, and I was weak. You kicked us out like that, and I almost lost my life."

You may forget these things, but I can't.

"Is it because you see I'm doing well now and have money that you want to trick me back into being your slave, spending my money, and even insulting me?"

"April isn't what you think."

"I really want to live a good life with you and raise our child together. If you don't want to live with my family, I can separate from them and we can live as a family of three."

You can manage your money; I don't want a single penny. I can write a guarantee. I only want you and the child, and I just want us to be together.

"They say spilled water can't be gathered up again, and a broken mirror can't be mended, so just give up on that idea."

After Liu Siyue finished speaking, she turned to leave. Lu Yunzhou stepped forward and grabbed her, but Liu Siyue shook her off, causing Lu Yunzhou to fall to the ground. The contents of the basket spilled out, and the eggs shattered all over the floor. "Siyue, I know I've let you and the child down. You can't accept it right now. I didn't cherish you enough before, so please give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?"

Lu Yunzhou sat on the ground, pleading with heartfelt sincerity, and even shed tears.

The villagers felt a pang of pity watching this, and they all looked at Liu Siyue. If it were really as she said, and they went back to divide the family property, the three of them could live happily together, which would be wonderful. If it were their daughter, they would definitely let them get back together, so that she would have money and status in the future, how great would that be?

"In April, I have money now, all earned by my own abilities. You often go to the county town, so you should know about me. I can support you and the child. If you don't want to live in the village, we can move to the county town. Whatever you ask for, I will agree. I swear this today in front of all the villagers of Liujia Village."

I went to the prefectural city a while ago and specially bought you a gift. I didn't know what girls liked, so I bought you a box of the best rouge and a suitable hairpin.

I hope you will accept this gift; it's a token of my appreciation.

"I don't care about your gift. With money, I can buy any gift I want."

"Let me tell you something: once it's gone, it's gone. There's absolutely no chance of getting back together. You go your way, I'll go mine. We'll keep to ourselves. If you dare to have any ulterior motives, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Liu Siyue walked away without looking back. Lu Yunzhou shouted after her back, "Siyue, I will not give up until you accept me."

Lu Yunzhou didn't expect Liu Siyue to be so heartless. He had already said so much, yet she showed no mercy. Didn't she care about him a lot before? She was willing to be a concubine to stay in the Lu family and by his side. Was it just because she had money now?

Seeing that he was still sitting on the ground without moving, the villagers went up to persuade him, "Lu Tongsheng, get up quickly. You have seen Siyue's attitude. It is normal for her to be upset for a while. Go back and study hard, try to pass the imperial examination and become a Xiucai, and then come to propose to Siyue in a grand manner. Wouldn't that be better?"

Lu Yunzhou smiled bitterly to himself. If he had a solution, why would he come to her? He was afraid that he would run into trouble before the exam, and his life would be over.

Even if he doesn't take the exam this time, as long as Liu can return to his side, he can take it again in two years after he recovers. It wouldn't be a bad idea, since he's not that old anyway.

"Auntie, thank you for comforting me. I just can't let go of Siyue. Without him by my side, I can't concentrate on my studies." He wanted to make Liu Siyue feel guilty, so that if he failed the imperial examination, it would be because of him.

Yunzhou got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and felt much better after sitting for just a short while. He picked up the scattered pastries and jewelry, but he couldn't pick up the eggs, as the yolk had spilled all over the ground and none of them were intact.

She placed the two packets of pastries in the hands of the two women. "Sisters, I'm sorry to have bothered you today. Please share these pastries with everyone. I'll head back now and come again another day."

The two aunties accepted the pastries with smiles. "Lu Tongsheng is indeed a scholar. He speaks and acts with such integrity. You should work hard. April is actually a very good person. She's just stubborn but soft-hearted. No matter what, you have a daughter. That's an unbreakable bond."

Listen to your aunt's advice, go back and study hard to pass the imperial examination, and don't come here for now.

"Auntie, to be honest, I want to study properly, but I just can't concentrate. It's like I'm possessed. Every time I open my eyes, April is there. When I open a book, April is smiling at me and calling me husband."

"Alas, poor child, he has fallen in love with lovesickness, and there is no cure for it."

Lu Yunzhou left dejectedly. As he walked out of Liujia Village, he wondered how he would explain things to the villagers when he returned.

They broke open two packets of pastries and each took a small bite. Even though it was just a little, it was still very delicious. It had been so long since they had tasted the sweet flavor of pastries; it seemed like a long time, and they couldn't even remember.

After finishing the pastries, the women hadn't dispersed yet; they gathered together and started talking about Lu Yunzhou again.

Liu Siyue walked ahead, with Qingwu following behind her. "Master, should we go and teach that brat a lesson? They're already divorced, yet he still dares to bother you."

"I was thinking, he's about to take the imperial examination, and he's in the middle of a busy period of his studies. How could he possibly come up with this now? Even if he wants to get back together, he should wait until he passes the imperial examination and comes to me to show off. Then he can ask me to go back with him. That way, he'll not only save face, but he'll also appear generous and responsible."

It's possible that her family values ​​my money, but it wouldn't be at this time. There must be something we don't know about happening.

Scholars value their reputation most. For him to lower himself and beg me so humbly today, this matter must be significant.

"Qingwu, go to the Lu family tonight and find out what happened there, or go to the county academy to inquire about it."
