Chapter 694: Qiu Bai’s revenge
Yu Dong brushed past the villagers who were all standing outside their houses or fields to see what was going on, the village hardly had any changes in its day-to-day life. Thus, no matter whether it was a good or bad thing, as long as it brought a change to their daily lives, they would stop their work and watch what was going on.
Earlier they all saw Yu Dong rushing to Wu Junfen's house with Fang Chi in her arms and followed by that they saw the rest of the Yu family and even grandma Fang rushing behind her. Their curiosity was piqued and they wanted to ask Yu Dong what was going on but as soon as the latter stepped out of the Wu house, her entire expression was like that of an evil spirit—— no it would be more accurate to say that she looked like the incarnation of the devil.
Forget about asking her what was going on the villagers all took a step back collectively while making sure that they did not utter a single sound in the presence of Yu Dong. It was only when Yu Dong passed by them did they heave a breath of relief and patted their chest to calm themselves down.
" I thought I have seen Yu Dong getting angry the last time when Fang Chi was attacked by the elders," said one of the women as she looked at Yu Dong who was storming past them with a grim expression and eyes that seemed to be glimmering with something red. " But who would have thought that she looks this terrible when she gets angry, just now I felt like I was getting choked by her presence!"
" You are right, it was as if someone pressed my neck and pushed me down in a pond or something of the sort," said another woman as she breathed heavily while looking at Yu Dong's back and taking a loud gulp, just now she did not know how it happened but she suddenly felt really overwhelmed.
" It seems that something really serious happened," a mer who was working in the fields remarked as he watched Shen Li and Chen Mi chasing after Yu Dong. Though they saw Ye Liu rushing out of the house earlier no one stopped him because the latter has tears running down his cheeks while he was walking even though he was trying to keep it low everyone could see his reddened eyes and blotchy cheeks.
They might be curious but they were not heartless enough to gossip when someone was in such a situation like that.
"Maybe that Fang surname lost his child," commented a snarky voice from behind and everyone turned to look at Qiu Bai who was holding a basket in his hands. He seemed to have returned from the fields since his hands were covered in dust and mud but compared to the tired villagers who looked concerned about Yu Dong and her child, Qiu Bai seemed to be having the time of his life.
His cheeks were flushed like reddened apples and there was sweat covering his face and forehead but one could see that he did not come running here because he was worried about Yu Dong, if anything he seemed to have rushed here as if he was worried that he was going to miss a good show.
The villagers were stunned when they saw Qiu Bai and Old man Tong who was walking behind Qiu Bai. They were still trying to process the shocking words that Qiu Bai has said just now when they heard a loud roar.
"Qiu Bai! You have a lot of guts!" Grandma Fang could not chase after Yu Dong as quickly as the young ones could which was why she was following her according to the pace that her body allowed but when she was walking past the fields she heard Qiu Bai's scandalous words and could not help but stop.
Usually, she did not find faults with mers because she was a woman but when she heard this mer say that Fang Chi lost his child, it stung her heart. She wished she could rush up and tear the mouth of this Qiu Bai but she couldn't do it because the other person was a mer!
Qiu Bai wasn't scared, instead, he hitched up a brow and twisted his willow-like waist as he looked at Grandma Fang with an arrogant raise of his lips. "What? Did I say the truth? Is this why it hit a nerve? Was I wrong to say? Your grandson married my niece by sheer luck, he was an abandoned mer who was left on the rack for so long that even an old woman was not willing to marry him."
"With that tall physique and mouth that cannot string two words without trembling like he was facing his death, he should have been glad to Yu Dong who married him. If not for the rumours that were running around, he would have died much less married a woman like Yu Dong. Do you think that your grandson was worthy of marrying someone like Yu Dong?" Qiu Bia contemptuously asked Grandma Fang who was trembling with anger but the latter could not say anything everyone knew that even though Fang Chi and Yu Dong were clearly happy now, their marriage came into existence because of a scandalous rumour.
Seeing that Grandma Fang was not speaking Qiu Bai became even more vociferous, he raised his voice such that everyone will be able to hear him and said, " Your grandson ate all the good things, I heard Yu Dong even brought a lot of medicinal herbs and meat to nourish his body. All he had to do was to carry a child and give Yu Dong an heir, have you not heard the new law that is forced by the acting Empress? If there is no heir in eight years of marriage then the business of the woman would go under the scrutiny of the officials and once it comes under the scrutiny of the officials it's as good as being given up for free!"
" Yet your grandson could not keep a child safe in his womb, what good is he? If you ask me Yu Dong should just divorce him and then marry someone else."
