Chapter 3 Should I follow my mother or my father?
After drinking the medicine, Li Xiaoyue fell into a drowsy state.

When she woke up again, the sun was already setting outside, and the afterglow was slanting on the ground through the window.

"Grandma, are you thirsty?" Liu Daya stayed by Li Xiaoyue's side after she fell asleep.

Now I saw my grandma wake up and immediately lay on the bedside, looking at her with concern and anxiety.

Seeing Liu Daya, Li Xiaoyue's consciousness gradually returned, "I'm not thirsty, I'm a little hungry. Daya, ask your mother if she's ready to cook?"

"Grandma, I'll be there right away." Liu Daya turned around and ran outside.

After a while, Wu Cuihong came in with a bowl of warm porridge, "Mom, once the porridge is cooked, my daughter-in-law will serve it out for you to cool."

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Xiaoyue was hungry, so she took a dozen sips and finished it.

Wu Cuihong was panic-stricken. When her mother-in-law finished drinking, she said cautiously: "Mom, I'm not working hard. This is what a daughter-in-law should do. My uncles and aunts are about to come back from the fields, and my daughter-in-law is going to prepare the food."

"Okay!" Li Xiaoyue's expression became reserved and serious, and Wu Cuihong breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that she, the ultimate evil mother-in-law, had a long way to go to clear her name.

After drinking the porridge, Li Xiaoyue stopped feeling dizzy and gained strength. She felt sticky, so she asked Wu Cuihong to bring hot water to wipe her body and put on clean burlap clothes.

Arriving in the yard, Liu Daya quickly moved a stool and placed it under the tree, "Grandma, sit down and rest."

Liu Daya sat down, reached out and gently rubbed Liu Daya's withered and yellow-haired head, "Cuihong, boil some more eggs."

"I know, mother." Wu Cuihong thought her mother-in-law wanted to eat, so she immediately took out three eggs from the cupboard, washed them and boiled them in a pot.

At this time, the second son Liu Changlu, who was tall and thin and looked like his scumbag ex-husband, accompanied his wife Zhou Xiaohua back to her parents' home with their children.

Liu Changlu saw his mother with a piece of cloth tied on her forehead and her face was pale. He hurriedly asked: "Mom, what's going on?"

Zhou Xiaohua from the back also showed concern, but she kept cursing in her heart. Why didn't you knock yourself down seriously?
Li Xiaoyue waved her hand. There were other sons and children outside, "Let's talk about it together when we get back, so that I don't have to repeat it over and over again. My second daughter-in-law, hurry up and help your sister-in-law set the table. We'll have dinner soon."

"Yes, mother." Zhou Xiaohua was reluctant, but she didn't dare to contradict Li Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyue once had countless subordinates, and it was immediately obvious that Zhou Xiaohua was a meek person on the outside, but on the inside she wanted to curse her mother-in-law to die soon.

However, there is no time to deal with her now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

The third son, Liu Changshou, is 14 years old. He is tall, strong and taciturn. He comes back from the fields carrying farm tools.

The fourth son, Liu Changxi, was 12 years old and came back from Li Xiucai's private school in a neighboring village with a bookcase on his back.

The fifth son, Liu Changan, is frail and sick. He is ten years old and cannot do heavy work. He is responsible for herding cattle.At this time, he was sitting on the back of the cow, playing the bamboo flute, and wandering home.

The eldest daughter Liu Changhuan is [-] years old, and she and her fourth son Liu Changxi are twins.I took my younger sister Liu Changle, who was only eight years old, to hunt hogweed, and my backpack was full.

Liu Yunde rushed to take the exam two months ago without any financial expenses. In order to get a high betrothal gift, he betrothed Liu Changhuan to the silly son of landlord Zhao's family and received 50 taels of silver.When she thought of this matter, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but curse Liu Yunde secretly in her heart as a wolf-hearted bad guy who would never die!
Wu Cuihong and Zhou Xiaohua had already brought all the food to the table, and Liu Changfu hurried back after a long journey.

"Mom, I have brought He Lishu back, and the government has also archived it." As soon as Liu Changfu finished speaking, he ran to the water tank, picked up the water ladle, and drank a few large sips of water to quench his thirst.

Li Xiaoyue got the letter of separation and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it not only had Liu Yunde's signature and fingerprints on it but also his official seal.

This marriage is finally over!
"Brother, have you reconciled with your sister-in-law?" Liu Changlu, the second eldest brother, had his eyes rolling. The eldest brother has a bad temper, and only a hard-working and uncomplaining person like his sister-in-law can endure it.

Besides, the eldest sister-in-law is gone, the eldest brother is not old enough, he has to marry again, and the family has to spend money again.

Li Xiaoyue put away the book and looked around with serious eyes at the children on the table.

"Your sister-in-law is so kind. She is the eldest sister-in-law in the family. She has done nothing wrong. How could she reconcile with her?"

"This letter of reconciliation is between me and Liu Yunde. He was admitted as a scholar and fell in love with a wealthy widow in the county. He asked me to reduce myself to my concubine. I didn't want to, so I made peace with him."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.

When Liu Changlu, the second eldest brother, heard this, he dropped the chopsticks in his hand on the table and asked eagerly: "Mom, the whole family supports my father in his studies. He finally became a scholar and our whole family can enjoy the blessings. Why did you agree to divorce?" "

Li Xiaoyue slammed her chopsticks on the table and looked at her second son, Liu Changlu, expressionlessly.

"What should I do if we don't get along? Do you really want me to agree to demote myself as a concubine? I have lived for most of my life, and I don't mind suffering hardships. In the end, I am reduced to a concubine who is bought and sold at will. I can die of embarrassment."

"If you want to take advantage of your scholar father, you can take your wife and children to the county seat to find your scholar father. I want to see if Liu Yunde and his mistress will take in your family of three?"

Liu Changfu felt sorry for his mother and glared at Liu Changlu, "Second brother, although we are farmers and don't have much experience, we have also seen the show. The bastards of rich families are like pigs and dogs, beating and scolding business at will."

"Liu Yunde can even abandon his first wife, who has been with him for 18 years. She is already secretly married to Widow Wang in the county. She will have many sons and daughters in the future. Is she missing a son from your unsightly former wife?"

Liu Changlu didn't dare to quarrel with his eldest brother, so he said: "Brother, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's such a pity."

Li Xiaoyue didn't want to be nagging, "After the divorce, except for the three thatched houses in the old house that Gu Yunde got, everything else is mine. How I lived in the past is how I will live in the future."

"In addition, if any of you want to go to the county town to find your scholar father and live with your scholar father, stand up now. I will pack your things for you today and ask your elder brother to send you there tomorrow."

"After you leave my house, I will treat you as if I don't have this son or daughter. From now on, whether you are prosperous and wealthy, whether you live like a pig or a dog, and eat chaffy vegetables, it has nothing to do with me."

Liu Changfu is the eldest son. He has known how hard his mother has worked for the family since he was a child. "Mom, I will follow my mother, serve my mother, and provide for my mother in her old age."

Wu Cuihong also said quickly: "Mom, Daya and I are also here to serve you. We don't recognize that unfaithful father."

"Grandpa is bad." Liu Daya clenched her fists, especially angry that grandpa was hitting grandma, "I don't want him."

When Liu Changfu heard his wife and daughter's statement, he couldn't help but nodded to his wife with approval in his eyes. This daughter-in-law is quite good.

Just when Li Xiaoyue was waiting for others to express their opinions, she heard someone striding outside with a loud voice, and kept greeting Liu Yunde's eighteen generations of ancestors!
