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

Liu Siyue pointed at Qingwu's head and said, "You're getting more and more naughty."

"Go ahead, just watch, don't do anything."

"Yes, Master." Qingwu followed them all the way to the county town.

Han Xiaoyu remained standing there when her maid, Xiaoxi, approached her. "Miss, let's hurry back. Xiaonan still needs to go to the clinic to have her injury treated."

"Have the driver take you and Xiao Nan back. I want to go with this lady."

Sister, can I come with you?

Han Xiaoyu stared at Liu Siyue with her big, dark eyes, her gaze filled with fervor.

Liu Siyue pointed at herself and said, "You want to follow me? Do you know who I am? Aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy who'll sell you out?"

"Don't be afraid. My sister is clearly a good person. She dared to rush in to save me even in such danger. She is my hero."

It is said that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. My sister saved my life, and I want to repay her with my body.

Liu Siyue grinned from ear to ear, "Little girl, do you know what you're saying?"

"I know! If you're worried about not being able to support me, I can support you. We have plenty of money."

"What kind of nonsense is going on in your little head? We're both women, how can I marry you?"

"Sister, have you ever been married?"

"She got married, and then divorced."

"That's wonderful! My sister doesn't have a husband right now, and I'm not engaged either. It's perfect that my sister can marry me. I've heard that women can marry each other."

I met you today, and suddenly my heart was pounding. I couldn't help but want to get closer to you. I realize I admire women like you—the kind of strong, independent woman.

Liu Siyue was speechless. How could a little girl like that know what liking someone is? She didn't have that kind of interest. She wanted to refuse firmly, but she was afraid of hurting the girl. But then she thought that maybe she had misunderstood her. Maybe it was just because she had saved the girl that she admired her.

She was too young to understand these feelings. Who doesn't love or admire heroes? She herself admired and idolized heroes, like Xiang Yu, Qin Liangyu, and Fan Lihua...

Hahaha... I never thought I could become someone else's hero!

"Ms. Han, you should go home quickly. It's not safe for a girl to be out alone."

"If I hadn't returned in time, Miss Han would probably have lost her innocence. How heartbroken your parents would be if they knew."

"Sister, what's your name? Where do you live? Can I come visit you?"

"No, I live very far away."

"My sister won't tell me where she lives. What am I going to do if I miss her? I haven't repaid her for saving my life yet!"

I must tell my father and mother about this when I get home, and I must pay them a visit.

"No need, I'm just glad you're alright."

"Sister, could you come to the county town to see me?"

"Let's talk about it later. You should go home now. Your looks are too stunning; you're bound to attract unwanted attention if you go out."

"Does my sister like my face too?"

Liu Siyue sighed, rubbing her forehead. She appreciated beautiful things, but didn't really like them. Not knowing how to express it, she simply said, "You're beautiful!"

"That's enough from my sister. I'm going home. She must come to see me."

"Okay, let's hurry home!"

Han Xiaoyu walked to the carriage, about to step onto it, but then she turned back, looked up at Liu Siyue, and asked, "Sister, can you hug me?"

Without thinking twice, Liu Siyue stepped forward and hugged her. "Now we can go home, right?"

"Mmm, sister smells so good."

I'll listen to my sister and go home now. Remember to come see me, sister.

Liu Siyue nodded. This Miss Han seemed to be a problem child, a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). After watching her get into the carriage and leave, Liu Siyue went to look for Madam Feng and the others.

"Mom, is it fun here?"

"It's nice. Going out for a walk has really lifted my spirits. Are you finished drawing?"

"The painting is finished, and that girl has left." She didn't mention what happened outside, lest Madam Feng overthink things. They also dug up a lot of wild vegetables. "Cousin, look, we dug up so many wild vegetables. We'll stir-fry them for lunch today."

"Why don't we dig up more and make vegetable dumplings for lunch? We haven't had them in a long time, and we're really craving them."

Mrs. Feng chuckled, “That’s how people are. When they’re having a hard time, they want to have a good time. When they’re having a good time, they always think about the hard times they’ve had. Eating a meal they’ve had before feels like it was just yesterday.”

"Mother, this is called remembering the bitter past to appreciate the sweet present."

Everyone dug up a lot of wild vegetables in the peach orchard. Liu Dawang took off his clothes and filled a big bag with wild vegetables. When they got home at noon, everyone worked together and soon steamed the wild vegetable dumplings. They were bright green and covered with red chili juice. One bite and your mouth was full of fragrance.

"It's so delicious, it tastes just like spring."

"Master, the locust flowers are blooming. They're edible too. Would you like to try some? They have a sweet taste. We also pick them to eat; they can be eaten as a vegetable or as a meal."

Knowing that locust flowers are edible, Liu Siyue immediately said she wanted to eat them and went to pick them that afternoon. She had completely let loose and didn't even remember her child anymore. At most, she would kiss and hug her, saying, "Yao'er, be good. Mom will go pick some locust flowers for you to eat. Be a good girl and wait for me at home."

Mrs. Feng chuckled softly, "If you want to go out and have fun, just say so. Don't use the children as an excuse. You're all grown up, how can you be so immature?"

Liu Siyue grinned, "Mom, I want to go out and play, is that alright now?"

After lunch, everyone went home to rest. The midday sun was still very hot. Liu Siyue was carrying Yao'er back to her room to sleep when Feng stopped her. "Give the child to me. You should rest. Aren't you going out this afternoon? Look how energetic Yao'er is. She doesn't look like she needs to sleep at all. Don't make the child cry."

"Hehe, Mom is still the best."

Liu Siyue returned to her house and went into her spatial dimension to look up ways to eat locust flowers. There were quite a few ways: steamed locust flowers, locust flower pancakes, scrambled eggs with locust flowers, stir-fried locust flower vegetables, locust flower steamed buns, locust flower porridge, various kinds of dumplings with locust flower filling, etc. They can also be blanched, dried and preserved.

Liu Siyue wrote all of this down. In the afternoon, she went to pick a lot of locust flowers and brought them back. In the evening, they would have a locust flower feast. When she woke up, she felt that the sun was not so hot anymore, so she led everyone to pick locust flowers. They didn't have to go too far. There were locust trees around the village, and the trees were full of locust flowers. Everyone had a great time.

The locust flowers are ready. Liu Siyue is the head of the kitchen. She doesn't know how to cook them, but she can explain how to cook this and that. She is also learning these things for the first time, and she doesn't know what they will taste like.

The cook was very skilled and quick to learn. As long as Liu Siyue told her what to do, she could make it. First, she let Liu Siyue taste it. "Mmm, this is delicious, and that is delicious too..."

Before it even got dark, a feast of locust blossoms was ready. Liu Siyue introduced each dish to everyone: "These are locust blossom, chive, and pork dumplings; this is a locust blossom and egg pancake..."

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and eat, try the delicious food made from locust flowers."

"Back when we lived at home, we would pick locust flowers to eat at this time of year. The way we ate them was simple: we would pick them, wash them, blanch them, and mix them with some salt. It's not like now, where we make so many different kinds of dishes."

Ru Yu interrupted Madam Feng, "Mother, back then, even if we had ideas, we had nothing to make them. We just did whatever was simple and as long as it was edible."

Ruyue quickly chimed in, "That's what they mean by 'even a clever cook can't cook without rice.'"

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

They had just finished eating when Qingwu returned. Seeing everyone sitting in the courtyard, she was at a loss for what to do. Fearing that Madam Feng would question her, Liu Siyue spoke first, "Qingwu, come with me!"

Liu Siyue entered her room with an unpleasant expression. Ruyue and Ruxing stuck out their tongues. Qingwu had disappeared to play somewhere, and her cousin looked very angry...
