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

Liu Yiyue had been standing outside the whole time. Qingwu, who was perched on the wall, saw that she was still there. She was really patient. The midday sun was very hot, and there wasn't even a tree to provide shade. Liu Yiyue hadn't had a drop of water since last night, but she had been holding on until August came out of work in the evening and saw that she was still there.

In August, she ignored her and was about to leave. Liu Yiyue took a few steps forward, then collapsed with a thud and fell unconscious.

In August, she quickly helped the person up and asked the gatekeeper to inform Liu Siyue. Upon hearing this, Liu Siyue laughed and said, "Qingwu, throw the person at the gate of the Liu family's old house."

When August saw Qingwu come out, she felt a little relieved. Qingwu didn't say anything when she got to her, but picked her up and left. August quickly chased after her, "Miss Qingwu, what are you doing? My elder sister has fainted. You can't treat her like this."

"She won't die. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything and has fainted from hunger. Send her to a home she likes, so she won't come here to disgust our master."

August didn't know what to do. If she intervened today, her mother would definitely try to extort money from her, but she was also worried about her eldest sister.

Qingwu threw the person at the entrance of the Liu family's old house, which woke Liu Yiyue up in pain. Qingwu turned around and left. When Bayue saw that her eldest sister was awake, she quickly hid.

Liu Yiyue didn't come back last night, and we haven't seen her all day. We thought everything was settled and were discussing treatment with Liu Qingshan when suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard gate. Liu Qingshan's face lit up with joy. "Mother, could it be that my eldest sister is back? Go and see her quickly."

Huang Lanhua opened the door, and Liu Yiyue stumbled in, bumping into Huang Lanhua's chest. "Ouch, you brat, you can't even watch where you're going, you almost knocked your mother over."

"Mom, I'm so thirsty and hungry!"

"Did you bring the silver back?"

Liu Yiyue was too weak to speak. She staggered to the kitchen, picked up a ladle, scooped up a ladle of water, and gulped it down. She drank it too fast and choked, coughing repeatedly.

After drinking the water, the person finally came back to life. "Mom, is there anything to eat?"

"Didn't you eat at the end of the village?"

"Now that a wall has been built at the end of the village, I can't get in at all. My second sister doesn't want to see me. I stayed there for a day and a night without eating or drinking, and then I fainted at the gate at the end of the village. Someone brought me back."

Huang Lanhua's face immediately changed. "How can you be so useless!"

"Mother, my second sister really doesn't want to see me. She's really angry with me."

"Brother's leg is a serious matter and can't be delayed any longer. Take the money you have on you and go to the clinic to see what the doctor says."

There was nothing else we could do about the yellow orchid.

"Mom, is there anything to eat at home? I'm so hungry."

"No! It's time to sleep, why eat? If we close our eyes, it'll be tomorrow."

Liu Yiyue drank half a ladle of water, returned to her room, and lay on the bed, sobbing softly.

The next day, Liu Yiyue didn't get up, and naturally no one made breakfast. Huang Lanhua saw that the kitchen was deserted and the stove was cold, so she pushed open Liu Yiyue's door and said, "What time is it? Why aren't you up? Don't you know your older brother is going to town to treat his leg today?"

"Mom, I feel so dizzy, and my stomach hurts!"

Huang Lanhua touched her forehead and found it was hot. "You're all such a worrywart. Get up quickly and let's go to town together. Don't let yourselves die in bed."

Liu Yiyue was completely dizzy and had no idea that she had started her period; her pants were all dirty. This was the first time she had started her period since returning to Liujia Village.

Huang Lanhua noticed the blood on Liu Yiyue's pants. "Are you menstruating?"

"No!"

"Then why are your pants covered in blood? That's bad luck! Go change them right now, or you'll make a fool of yourself!"

Grandpa Hu drove his oxcart to the Liu family's door and called out, "Huang, hurry up, the cart is here."

Huang Lanhua carried Liu Qingshan on her back and put him on the oxcart. Liu Yiyue also changed her trousers and came out. They all got on the oxcart and went to town.

The diagnosis from the doctor at Huichuntang was the same as that from Dr. Wu: the bones were shattered and could barely be set, but the patient would still have difficulty walking, both legs would be deformed, and the patient would walk with a limp.

Liu Qingshan was not satisfied with the result. "Mother, I don't want to be a cripple. Please take me to the county town to see a doctor."

"Qingshan, accept your fate. It's better to be a cripple than to be paralyzed in bed. The family can't be bothered anymore."

"Doctor, please treat him. How much silver will it cost?"

"A total of 15 taels."

Liu Yiyue quickly said, "Doctor, please take a look at me. I'm dizzy and have a fever."

The doctor asked her to sit down and began to take her pulse. "You have cold pathogens in your body, and you are also menstruating. You haven't eaten, which makes your condition worse. I will prescribe medicine now. The clinic can decoct the medicine. Drink it immediately."

"You're together, aren't you?"

"Yes, they are my mother and older brother."

"It will cost 17 taels of silver in total. Pay first, then we'll treat you."

"What kind of medicine do you have that costs two taels of silver? Do you have any cheaper medicine?"

"no."

Huang Lanhua was extremely reluctant. She took out 10 taels of silver and said, "I'll pay you 10 taels first. I also have a gold bracelet here. I'll go to Dangdang Shop and pawn it to pay the rest."

The doctor agreed, and Huang Lanhua went to the pawnshop. Liu Yiyue took the medicine to the back to decoct it. The shop assistant brought her a bowl of porridge and a pancake, saying, "Have something to eat first, so you don't faint from hunger."

Liu Yiyue was a little embarrassed, but she took the food and wolfed it down. After finishing, she felt refreshed.

The doctor was setting Liu Qingshan's leg bone. Liu Yiyue finished her medicine and came to the front. She heard Liu Qingshan howling in pain, which was very piercing.

She sat outside waiting, and soon saw her mother return, looking very unwell. "Mother, did you pawn the bracelet?"

"Damn it! This pawnshop is a real rip-off. Last time in the county town, didn't you say you could pawn 12 taels? Today they wouldn't even pay 10 taels! It's infuriating! I had to beg and plead until I finally got 10 taels. Those heartless bastards, ripping off our money, aren't they afraid of getting maggots in their heads?!"

"Mother, stop talking, this is a clinic."

"I've been ripped off, can't I even vent my anger! That's two taels of silver... enough to buy so many things!"

The doctor came out of the ward and said, "Your leg has been set. You've received your medication and can go home now. But make sure you rest and recuperate. If you move around too much and get injured again, you'll be bedridden for the rest of your life."

Huang Lanhua paid the remaining money, took the medicine, and asked the clinic staff to help carry Liu Qingshan onto the oxcart. Only then did they slowly ride back home in the oxcart.

The Liu family knew that Liu Qingshan could only be a cripple. The entire Liu family's old house was in a low-pressure state. Every now and then, Liu Qingshan would let out a roar, cursing and smashing things: "Liu Siyue, Liu Dawang, I became like this because of you. I will not let you off the hook. If I am not good, you will not have an easy time either!"

Huang Lanhua knew her son was in a bad mood and couldn't accept the reality of being a cripple. She thought it best to bring his wife and child back as soon as possible. With his wife and child by his side, he wouldn't feel so embarrassed and lonely.

After all, she was a mother herself, and there were some things that her daughter-in-law couldn't do as easily. So she went to Liu Dahu to discuss bringing Yu Guixiang back. "Husband, we need to bring Yu back as soon as possible. We need to tell Father and Mother, so that when Yu comes back, Mother won't start arguing with her again."

"Yes, we need to bring her back as soon as possible. It's not right for her to stay at her parents' house all this time. Our Liu family's grandson is going to become the Yu family's grandson."

"My dear husband, that won't happen. What I'm worried about is what if, after a while, Madam Yu develops other desires and falls for another man, leaving Qingshan behind?"

"How many children can she bear to leave behind?"

"What's there to be reluctant about? Look at the Gu family, they left just like that."

"The Yu family is different from the Gu family. Qinghe is gone, and the Gu family had no one to rely on, which is why they left. Qingshan is still here, so where can the Yu family go?"

"Let's stop talking nonsense and hurry up and go find our parents!"
