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

"Uncle Village Chief, don't blame yourself. Your idea is not wrong. Special times call for special measures. We can't let the enemy come and they say: 'I am a woman, don't kill me!'"

The enemy will only think they are extremely foolish, and all that will remain is endless humiliation and hellish torture. They might as well pick up the butcher's knife and fight back; perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope for survival.

By the way, Uncle Village Chief, I'll be going to Baini Bay again tomorrow to raise awareness among them. If they're willing, I can send two people to train them.

If the bandits really come, our efforts to rescue them will definitely be slower than their ability to save themselves. The enemy's blade can take lives in an instant; time is life.

Liu Jinsheng looked at Liu Siyue with admiration, "Siyue, you're so great. If they don't know what's good for them, just leave them alone from now on."

The clan chief also agreed. The two villages are so close, how could they stand idly by? They couldn't just watch them die. April is a kind-hearted child, may God bless her with peace and safety!

"Yes, I know."

"Uncle, in April, there is something else I need to tell you about Liu Maoquan."

"What is it? Is it about burning charcoal?"

"Yes, you're right, that's indeed the case."

Your Aunt Wang and the two brothers Hongyu and Hongsheng are both reasonable people. I couldn't bear to see them get involved, so I dealt with them according to the village rules and clan regulations and drove their whole family out of the village.

I told them to keep an eye on his father. If they found out he was doing something wrong, they were to tie him up and tell me. If the villagers caught them, his whole family would be held responsible, and then there would be no mercy. They would be dealt with however they were told.

Two days ago, Hongyu noticed that his father carefully tucked a piece of paper into his pocket. When his father was about to go out, Hongyu asked him where he was going. Maoquan said he was going for a walk. Hongyu said, "It's almost dark, what's the point of going for a walk? Don't go."

Maoquan ignored him and walked away, so Hongyu called his mother and Hongsheng out, and they tied up his father and took him back. He's now locked in the woodshed, waiting for me to deal with him.

These are blueprints that Hongyu found on his father. They're quite detailed. If you study them carefully, you can even make charcoal from them.

What do you suggest we do?

"Uncle Village Chief, this is favoritism and corruption!"

Liu Jinsheng scratched his head sheepishly, "Everyone says that officials have their own interests, and where there are interests, there are corruptions. I, a small village official, am no exception. I've decided to give them a way out without affecting the overall situation. If they really leave the village, how difficult their lives will be."

"It's up to Uncle Village Chief to decide; I have no objection."

"Uncle Village Chief, this is the most important thing right now."

"Okay, okay, I'll get right on it!"

When Liu Siyue returned, Liu Jinsheng immediately found several young, strong, shrewd and capable men to take turns guarding the village entrance at night. The next day, a meeting was held to announce the matter.

When Liu Siyue returned to the end of the village, she didn't send the fruit she brought back to Feng Shi because there wasn't enough. She planned to share some with them when more arrived. She took the rest of the fruit directly to the princess.

"Is everything arranged?" The princess sat in a chair, sipping tea and looking up at her.

"Yes, everything is arranged. I told the village chief and the clan chief about it. They were a little worried, so I revealed a little information about you. It will definitely not affect you, and they will definitely not tell anyone."

"It's alright, they'll find out who I am soon. Only by revealing my identity can I win more support and endorsement."

"The princess is right."

I brought you some fruit, it tastes great, come and try it, it's even better than the last time I brought you some.

Liu Siyue handed the princess a large peach, its pinkish color making it look incredibly tempting and tempting to take a bite immediately. "The peach has been washed and can be eaten directly."

The princess took the peach, and a sweet aroma wafted into her nostrils. She sniffed, and Liu Siyue found it amusing. "Princess, stop sniffing. The peach is right here in your hand, eat it quickly."

"I was born into the royal family and have seen and eaten all kinds of delicious food. But at this moment, I feel that this peach is so different from others. After eating so many good things, even wild vegetables seem like delicacies."

"But this peach is too big. I can't finish it. You and I will share it, otherwise we won't be able to eat dinner."

"Princess, I've already eaten one, and I'm still full. If I can't finish it, I'll share it with Shadow."

These peaches are perfectly ripe; they taste even better after peeling.

Shadow stepped forward. "Master, let me come down."

Shadow washed his hands, peeled the peach in a few quick movements, placed it on a plate, carefully cut it into small pieces with a knife, and put a bamboo skewer on the plate. "Please enjoy, Master."

Watching the princess eat so elegantly, Liu Siyue parted her red lips slightly, put a piece of peach into her mouth, and chewed it carefully. She sighed inwardly, thinking, "She really is a princess. Even eating a peach is so refined. Unlike me, I'm like Pigsy eating a watermelon, so barbaric."

The princess ate a few pieces, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and found the taste to be very good. She kept one peach and two apricots, and had Shadow take the rest to share with the others. "Thank you for your reward, my lady."

"Liu Siyue, I've been here for so long and haven't seen your daughter yet. Bring her here so I can see her. I heard from An Ying that the little girl is going to be a beauty."

"Princess, it's getting late. Yao'er's birthday is in a few days. We can meet again then."

"Eh."

"My lord, dinner is ready."

"Bring it up."

After having dinner with the princess, Liu Siyue returned to her own residence.

Early the next morning, the sound of a gong rang out in Liujia Village, and the villagers rushed towards the large willow tree. "It's been a long time since the village held a meeting. I wonder what the village chief wants to do at a meeting?"

"Maybe something good is coming! Let's go check it out, it's a good spot in War Song."

The area under the big willow tree was packed with people, adults and children jostling together. When Liu Jinsheng struck the gong, the noisy scene immediately quieted down. Everyone looked at him expectantly, hoping to hear good news from him.

Liu Jinsheng cleared his throat. "Fellow villagers of Liujia Village, there is something I need to tell you all very seriously. You all need to listen carefully. The world outside is in chaos. Bandits are rampant, roaming around and hurting people. They might come to our village any day now."

After discussing with April, the village decided to arrange for people to guard the village entrance in shifts, day and night, so that everyone could take immediate action if anything was discovered.

"Oh dear, all that mud wall we built wasn't for nothing, it's finally coming in handy."

"Village chief, whatever you say, we'll do it. We'll follow your instructions. No one can refuse your assignment; we have to get things done." The villagers chattered amongst themselves, mostly expressing their worry. With so many pregnant women in the village, if the bandits really came, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Liu Jinsheng struck the gong again, and everyone quieted down once more. "Don't worry, everyone. In April, I said that we would train the able-bodied men in the village so that you can master certain fighting skills and fight back when the enemy comes."

In April, it was also said that women could sign up for the training, and everyone was encouraged to sign up actively and not back down. If you back down, you are putting your families under the enemy's knife.

Think of your wives, children, and elderly parents. What will happen to them because of your retreat?

Registration closes before dinner. Everyone should go home and think about it.

"Village chief, let's sign up now. No man should be a coward."

"Yes, we won't be cowards. We want to sign up. We want to protect the village and our families."

The village chief struck the gong again, "Everyone be quiet. I'll be waiting for you to register at 5 PM."
