Yu Dong did not know that Li Yan was already planning about how to get the golden taels that she had taken from the Wang family. The next morning she woke up feeling contented but as she reached out her arm to cuddle Ye Liu, she was surprised to see that her husband was not sleeping next to her.
Annoyed she opened her eyes and looked at the empty bedroom, she wanted to snuggle for a few minutes before waking up but now that Ye Liu was not in the room, she could only wake up.
She dressed up and then stepped out of the bedroom before heading to the bath house at the back of her house. Once she was done bathing, Yu Dong headed back to her house and was about to ask Chen Mi what was for dinner when she suddenly heard the sound of someone crying.
Surprised, she looked at Chen Mi who was frowning and then turned to look at Ye Liu who was coming back from outside. Given his flushed expression, she knew that something was wrong thus, she immediately asked, " Whats the matter?"
"It's the family members of that woman called Zhou Xing. They found out that she was bitten by a poisonous snake and kept on making a fuss, I don't know who told them but they are not making a ruckus saying that we have killed the only bread earner of their family and want us to repay them." Ye Lis did not want to get angry because of those people who were making a ruckus outside.
But they were simply beyond understanding, they continued to harp on the matter that it was the fault of the Yu family and they had to take responsibility. They even brought the twelve-year-old mer son of Zhou Xing saying that now that his mother was gone, there was no one to help him. Thus Yu Dong has to marry him and give him security.
And if they did not agree then they were simply bullying the poor and pushing them in a corner!
Ye Liu told them many times that Zhou Xing was alive but the Zhou family was simply too much. They did not believe his words and even said that he was lying, they went as far as to say that he and his family must have buried Zhou Xing behind their backs.
It was too much! Did they look like they were murderers?!
What kind of moral kidnapping was this? This was simply one-sided bullying.
Shen Li also wanted to help Ye Liu but the latter asked him to stay inside, if the Zhou family were to harm him in their agitation it would be more trouble.
When Yu Dong heard that it was the family of Zhou Xing who were creating a ruckus, she was speechless, she truly could not believe that someone would be this foolish. They were yet to see Zhou Xing's body yet they were clamouring that she was already dead. Were they waiting for her to die or something?
Yu Dong narrowed her eyes as she patted Ye Liu on the arm and said, " You all stay inside, I will take a look."
She then walked outside and came to a stop in front of an elderly woman who was beating her thighs and crying as if the sky was going to fall upon her head but Yu Dong was smarter than the rest. She had seen such scenes many times and in just one glance she could sense that something was off about this old woman.
"What's going on?" Yu Dong asked Lang who was standing next to her. Her voice was calm as if she could not see the bunch of troublemakers in front of her.
Lang looked at Yu Dong and then helplessly repeated everything that happened when Yu Dong was asleep.
Turns out someone from Madam Gong's team snuck out of the village and told the Zhou family that Zhou Xing was bitten. Once the Zhou family found out that their daughter had been bitten by a poisonous snake, they did not care about whether or not the information that they received was true or not they immediately rushed to the Big River Village and started acting up.
" My daughter! My poor daughter! Because of these evil capitalists, you had to suffer so much !" Old Madam Zhou continued to beat her chest as she cried, even when Yu Dong arrived she did not stop crying causing the villagers to look at her with a frown.
They did not know what happened but the villagers knew that there was no way Yu Dong would leave such a big matter alone. They all waited silently for Yu Dong to say something who in turn waited patiently for Old Madam Zhou to stop crying.
She looked at the Old woman who continued crying without tears and slowly ran out of patience. She stepped forward and then placed her foot on a large stone before applying pressure to it, it did not take long for Yu Dong to crumble the stone into bits.
She then looked at Old Madam Zhou who was shocked and said coldly, " Cry, continue crying. As long you cry I will show you what it means to annoy me."
Old Madam Zhou came here to cause trouble for Yu Dong at the same time to pick a few benefits. She did not care about Zhou Xing as the woman was useless and only brought a few cents home thus she turned her attention to cling onto Yu Dong.
As long as she could push her grandson inside Yu Dong's house, she would be able to live a comfortable life with ease.
But she did not expect that Yu Dong was such a hard nut to crack. She swallowed loudly before gritting her teeth and then said, " Madam, my daughter came here on her two feet but now that she is killed because of your willful actions of digging a well at the foot of the mountains don't you think that you need to give our family an answer?"
