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

As soon as it was light, Liu Dawang got up and took a stroll around the village before returning. Feng Shi was still asleep, so he sat on the stone bench in the courtyard. After a while, Liu Siyue and the others also got up. "Second Uncle, you got up so early. Why didn't you sleep in a little longer? You deserve a few more days of rest."

"I'm not tired. Your mother is still sleeping. She was exhausted last night."

Liu Siyue frowned. "What did Mother do last night?"

Liu Dawang realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends, "It wasn't that I was tired last night, it was that I was tired yesterday." After saying that, Liu Dawang's face turned red. He didn't dare to look at his niece and quickly turned his face away and lowered his head.

Liu Siyue clearly saw that her second uncle was shy, but she didn't understand why. She looked at Yun Chenxin, who had come out with her, and pulled Yun Chenxin aside. "Chenxin, something's wrong with my second uncle. I think I just saw him being shy."

"What's wrong with that? Do you think your second uncle would go out and flirt with other women?"

"Yes, has Second Uncle taken a liking to someone else?"

"What nonsense are you thinking? With your mother around, how could your second uncle possibly take a liking to someone else? Didn't you hear anything last night?"

What's that noise?

"How could someone as smart as you be so foolish? It's just like conjugal relations!"

"Oh, oh, oh, I understand, I understand."

Liu Siyue, being a bit mischievous, walked up to her second uncle and said, "Second Uncle, you look great, hehehe..."

Yun Chenxin patted her on the back, "How can a junior like you treat your elders like this? Aren't you making them feel embarrassed?"

"Second Uncle, we're going up the mountain. Please tell Mother."

"What are you doing up the mountain?"

"Let's hunt some wild game and have an outdoor barbecue this afternoon."

"It's better not to go. It's too dangerous in the mountains. If you want to eat chicken or something, you can buy it in the village if they don't have it on the estate."

"Second Uncle, you don't understand. Eating something bought is different from eating something you hunt yourself. Tell Mother we're leaving."

"Who's going? Me, Qingwu, and Ruyu."

"Be careful, come back soon, don't worry your family. If you leave, your mother will definitely complain to me when she wakes up."

"Thank you for your hard work, Second Uncle. Please try to comfort Mother as much as possible!"

"Chenxin, the weather is nice this morning, so you can take a stroll around the estate. The scenery there is quite nice. Get to know your cousin Hongmei better. She'll be with you when we go back."

"Go ahead and don't worry, I'll take good care of everyone."

Liu Siyue, Qingwu, and Ruyu, the three of them, carried baskets on their backs, took machetes and ropes, and headed into the mountains. Ruyu was particularly excited, as this was her first time hunting in the mountains and a chance to test her skills.

The three walked quickly and reached the foot of the mountain in about half an hour. Looking up, they saw that the mountain range was quite high and undulating. "Ruyu, there are wild beasts in the deep mountains. Once we enter the mountains, don't wander off. Stay close to us."

"I understand, cousin. I'm skilled in martial arts, so I'm not afraid!"

"Don't be careless. Without any real combat experience, you might be so scared when facing a wild beast that you won't even know which leg to step with."

"Cousin, I've been learning martial arts for so long, but I haven't had a single opportunity to practice. You should at least let me try."

"Alright, let you try. Don't let your legs give out."

The three of them entered the mountains. The outer perimeter of the mountains was clean and there was no prey. They could only go deeper into the mountains. Liu Siyue took out insect repellent and applied some to each of them, especially below the calves. She also gave each of them a sachet to carry with them.

"Cousin, you're so thoughtful, you've prepared the deworming medicine."

"That's right. When you go out to play, you definitely have to bring everything. You should learn from this and pay more attention. If anyone gets hurt and Mom finds out, you can forget about going up the mountain again."

"Master, this forest in front of us seems to have been untouched for a long time; there isn't a single trace of human activity."

As Liu Siyue walked along, she looked around. The towering trees were lush and verdant, and sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows.

A gentle breeze blew by, and morning dew fell from the trees, landing on people's hair and necks, cool and refreshing. Birds chirped and argued in the trees, as if saying, "You stole my insects!" or "Your child hit my child!" It was quite a scene. There were also occasional rustling sounds on the ground. Liu Siyue was very vigilant, afraid that a snake or a large rat might appear, just looking at them made her scalp tingle.

The further you go in, the stronger the forest smell becomes, with the fragrance of flowers, trees, and grass, and the freshness of the earth. When a breeze blows, the lingering smell of decay and mold hits you.

Liu Siyue was engrossed in watching when Ru Yuru Ran suddenly shouted, "Rabbit!"

Two gray rabbits darted past in a flash. Ru Yu made a move to chase after them, but Qing Wu stopped her with a wave of her hand. "Ru Yu, don't be so startled when you're looking at your knife. If you keep doing this, the prey will have been scared away long ago."

If you see small prey, strike immediately. If it's a predator, wait for the right opportunity to attack. Never act recklessly; conserve your energy and protect yourself.

"Understood, Master."

They walked a little further and saw a lot of wood ear mushrooms and morel mushrooms. Liu Siyue picked all the morel mushrooms into his basket. He had already planned to grow the wood ear mushrooms. He would call someone to carry these logs back to the farm and let them multiply slowly so that he could cultivate wood ear mushrooms.

"Qingwu, move this position a few times. I'm going to take all these pieces of wood back with me later."

Qingwu made several marks on several trees. "Master, make sure you remember them. I've marked all the way here."

Ruyu looked at a few more rabbits, then tugged at Qingwu's sleeve, pointed, and whispered, "Master, rabbits."

Qingwu lowered her voice as well, "What did I tell you? Just attack. What are you waiting for?"

Ru Yu shouted and ran after her, but Qing Wu grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you'd just take action?"

Qingwu rubbed her forehead, then casually picked up a few pebbles from the ground. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh," the pebbles flew directly at the rabbit, hitting it squarely. The rabbit lay motionless on the ground.

She clapped her hands. "See? This is called taking direct action. It's not about stupidly running over to catch a rabbit. By the time you get there, the rabbit will have vanished."

Liu Siyue chuckled from the side, "Ruyu, did you hear that? This is based on experience. Hurry up and go pick up the rabbit. No matter how good your kung fu is, if you lack practical experience and adaptability, you can only be passively beaten or tricked by others when you encounter an enemy."

"Cousin, you talk like you have a lot of experience."

"I'm not bragging, I've killed wild boars, fought giant snakes, and even beaten up thugs. Let's hurry up and hunt here, this is a quiet place. We need to get back as soon as possible, or our families will worry."

Ruyu became clever this time. When she saw a pheasant, she immediately bent down to pick up stones, and even picked up a few more to hold in her hand. She then threw them out, and managed to hit one of them. The pheasant flapped its wings and flew away.

Qingwu and Liu Siyue looked at her with smiles, then couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Ruyu, your skills are terrible, let your cousin show you a thing or two."

Birds were chirping in the tree. Liu Siyue reached out her hand and said, "Give me a pebble." As soon as she raised her hand, the chirping bird in the tree fell down.

"Master, why can't I hit it? I'm usually a perfect shot at home."

"Different environments, different prey, and different mindsets—that's a lack of experience. Practice more today."

"Why is my cousin so good at it? I've never seen her practice!"

Qingwu thought to herself, "She's giving her master special treatment! Her master is so talented, but she can't say that out loud, or Ruyu will be so heartbroken!"

"Ruyu, our master is often out and about, so he is calm and decisive. You hesitated just now and lost the initiative. Take this opportunity to practice more and believe in yourself."
