Chapter 878: Will not be easy
Yu Dong heard Xiao Hua's exclamation but did not head over, instead, she continued to sit on the ground with her head buried in her knees. Because it was winter, the spiritual energy scattered all over the forest was no longer as dense as it used to be during spring and summer.
What she used right now was the remnant of her spiritual energy which she had stored up before winter arrived and the forest and wild animals went into hibernation.
With such cold winds blowing outside it was impossible for her to cultivate her spiritual energy which was linked to nature itself.
Right now, even though she was trying to cultivate, Yu Dong was not able to replenish most of her energy.
' Looks like I will have to cultivate for three to four days before I can recover,' Yu Dong thought in her head as she looked at her hands which were trembling slightly. She sighed and closed her eyes but even so, she could not condense as much spiritual energy as she needed, in the end, Yu Dong could only give up and lie down on her back.
" Are you okay?" A familiar voice called out to her and she turned to look at Chen Mi who was sitting next to her with a guilty look on his face. Yu Dong looked at him and then arched a brow as she asked, " Are you not going to ignore me anymore?"
A faint blush surged up on Chen Mi's face as he licked his lips and then replied, " I …I am sorry, I should not have thrown my temper at you like that."
He knew that if it was possible Yu Dong would have definitely helped him but since she was not helping him then it could only mean that it was something that she could not do or maybe what he wanted her to do was truly out of her control.
This was something that Chen Mi was really aware of but he was also a son and brother. He could not restrain himself when he saw that his sister and mother were suffering and ended up fighting with Yu Dong and threw an unreasonable tantrum at her when he knew that it was not as easy for her to take care of everything which was happening in the village.
"It's good that you know," when Yu Dong heard Chen Mi's apology she heaved a sigh of relief. She was not against helping her in-laws but there were times when she couldn't do everything that her husbands wanted—— in the end, she was a human too if she could fly just because her husbands asked her to then will she still be a human? Wouldn't she become a god?!
Chen Mi lowered his head as he did not say anything more and simply looked at Yu Tong who was holding Li Hanjing's child with a foolish smile on her lips. If one did not know the truth, one would think that Yu Tong was Li Hanjing's child's mother.
"It's a girl," Chen Mi told Yu Dong when the latter turned to look at Li Hanjing and Yu Tong. He was slightly envious of Li Hanjing who was able to give birth to a daughter at first attempt but he only a little bit.
" Oh, then it is going to be a hell lot of troublesome for Ah Tong to get married to Brother Hanjing," as she spoke she turned her head and looked at Second Aunt Yu who was staring at Yu Tong with dissatisfaction. Even though Yu Tong had separated from the Old Yu family, she was still Second Aunt Yu'S daughter for her to marry a mer who once sold his body and even gave birth to a child whose mother was unknown —— there was a very high possibility that Second Aunt Yu will not accept this marriage.
If Li Hanjing's first child was a mer then there could have been a bit of a leeway but with this child being a girl, it would be near to impossible for Second Aunt Yu to allow Yu Tong to marry Li Hanjing. If Yu Tong was to marry Li Hanjing, wouldn't she have to share the property which she earned with a child who did not share the bloodline of the Yu family?
Yu Dong would eat a whole cow alive if Second Aunt Yu were to accept their marriage easily.
Chen Mi also followed her gaze and snorted in anger, before he curled his lips and then said, " Who gave her the right to be upset with their marriage anyway? When Sister Tong was facing the life and death situation along with Grandma, this second Madam Yu did not even bother saving her!"
" That might indeed be the case but…" Yu Dong did not continue even though she did not say it anything, Chen Mi understood her meaning.
Second Aunt Yu was not worried about her daughter, she was only concerned about her face which might fall on the ground if Yu Tong was to marry an ex-courtesan. In fact, even Grandma Yu found it a bit troublesome to accept that both of her granddaughters were going to marry an ex-courtesan, Xiao Hua was still better since he kept his body clean but Li Hanjing … her attitude towards Li Hanjing was still not as warm as it was towards Xiao Hua.
Fortunately, she was getting older and did not wish to trouble Yu Tong which was why despite not liking the fact that Yu Tong wished to marry an ex-courtesan, she did not make a fuss but Second Aunt Yu was different, if she wanted to make trouble then she will surely not stay silent!
After all, everyone knew that Second Aunt Yu was a really prideful woman who cared about her face the most!
Yu Dong glanced at Second Aunt Yu whose face was twisted along with Old Man Tong and then turned to look at Yu Tong who was still sitting next to Li Hanjing while acting like a caring wife. She knew that Yu Tong was aware of the fact that her mother was glaring at her but she still wanted to use this opportunity to tell everyone that she was pursuing Li Hanjing. ----------------––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
