Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 578: just lower your head for now

" What do you mean that this is the best you can give me?" Old man Tang was furious as he pointed at the bowl that had a watery rice porridge and then looked at the bowls of the other mers whose bowls were filled with rice grains. " Why can I not get a porridge-like that? Why are you giving me this watery porridge, did I eat your children or what?"          

    

The mer who was responsible for serving the rice porridge did not reply at once, instead, he waited until he has scooped some porridge for the other mer who was waiting with a bowl in his hands, he ladled a generous amount of porridge into the bowl of the other mer and Old man Tang looked at the mer who finally turned to look at him with a smile that was not a smile and replied, " Old man Tang, I did not want to be difficult with you but don't think that we do know about you and your family sneaking in some porridge yesterday when the mers responsible were not looking."      

After the scene what happened that afternoon with Shen Li and Ye Liu, Yu Dong did not send them to serve them dinner, in fact, she asked them to leave the second the villagers created trouble for them and after Shen Li and Ye Liu left, the mers were given the responsibility for serving the porridge but those mers were young and they did not have much experience, which was why people like old man Tang and his family were able to fool them and take an extra amount of porridge from the earthen jar.      

Seeing this happen, the women then brought the complaints to the village head who then asked the honest women of the village to bring their husbands who were living with Yu Dong's family to serve the meal lest the ones who were crooked was to snatch extra portion from the mers.      

Now the mers who were serving the meals were not the inexperienced mers who did not have any idea what was happening around them, these mers knew how and whom they needed to treat strictly. And old man Tang who was the greediest of all was on top of their list after all this mer was the one who snatched three bowls of porridge alone.      

Old man Tang was furious when he heard that the mer was not giving him any extra porridge just because he ate a little more yesterday, he was with a child of course he was going to feel a bit more hungry. How can he, a pregnant mer make do with this much food?      

But no one in the village knew that he was with a child and he couldn't let them know either after all Old madam Yu haven't slept with him for more than two years now, if the news of him having a child was to be spread out then everyone will find out that he has betrayed Old madam Yu.      

" You, how can you be this cruel! I am so old and I need a little more energy to keep my old body active, if you give me this watery porridge to me then how will I keep my old bones warm in this cold weather," Old man Tang however did not want to let go of this matter just like this, if he was going to starve then he might as well make this mer's reputation suffer!     

The mer was also surprised when he heard old man Tang call him cruel, he was just trying to be fair! How come he was calling him cruel? The mer was the husband of an honest woman but that did not mean that he was easy to bully, in the house he could control those small mers whom his wife has married, can he not deal with a single Old man Tang?      

Hah! Those mers couldn't go against him even when they planned together, who was old man Tang?      

" I don't think that your body is that old, Old man Tang," the mer sneered. " If you can still jump around like how you were doing when sneaking the porridge from the earthen jar the last time."      

Old man Tang's face turned red, he wanted to speak something more but then he was stopped by Aunt Yu who dragged her father away from the line of the meal, at first Old man Tang was stunned but then as he was dragged to the small corner of the cave where his family was staying, he woke from his daze and looked at his daughter with a reproachful glare. " What are you doing? I was going to get the meal that our family deserves, why is it that you are stopping me?"      

Aunt Yu was tired after receiving all sorts of glares from the village woman, she was so angry with everything that she wanted to fight with every single woman who was looking at her the wrong way but she knew that she couldn't do it.      

In the end, she wished that she could stay as inconspicuous as possible but then her father was making a joke of himself. She sighed and then rubbed her temples and still tried to calmly reply to her father, " I know that you are feeling upset but we are already under fire by the villagers, all of them have a good relationship with mother and you have divorced her. Of course, they will be upset and with everyone finding out that we let her hang in the water for the entire morning, they don't have any good feelings towards us, do you think it is reasonable for you to fight with them?"      

Old man Tang however was not reconciled, he looked at his daughter and then stubbornly said, " But that does not mean that they can starve us like this!"      

" They are the ones in charge in this situation? If you have forgotten mother, one does not need to fight with those who are in power!" Aunt Yu finally snapped as she looked at her father angrily. Her sudden outburst caused Old Man Tang to be stunned, seeing that she has overstepped her boundary, Aunt Yu sighed and then softened her voice before adding, " Don't worry daddy, the rain has stopped, soon we will be out of here and then we can teach them a good lesson. For now, just lower your head."
