Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 978: Buy the barren mountain ——2

  Yu Tong choked on the piece of pork belly from which she just took a bite, she looked at Gong Shun who started from Chen Mi and was now attacking Old Madam Yu with praises. Unlike the others who couldn't see the intentions behind the praises, Yu Tong could easily see Gong Shun's intentions!      

This woman was trying to cosy up with her family such that she could freeload at any moment!      

" Why are you speaking too much!? Just focus on your meal," Yu Tong was worried that Gong Shun might end up winning everyone's hearts including Yu Dong as she was joking and laughing with Yu Dong a bit too much. Thus, she stopped Gong Shun from speaking any more and placed a big piece of pork belly in her bowl, " Eat your meal."      

Don't think that she was being a miser but because Yu Tong worked with these three women, she was more than aware of how greedy they can be and thus for the sake of her family's monthly ration she had to nip this bud before it bloomed.      

Yu Tong's worries were not unfounded as the second the three women started eating their speed was unmatchable.  Because Yu Dong and the rest did not wish to fight with their guests they did increase their pace of eating but even so, the food was finished in just ten minutes!     

Gong Shun who liked the meal so much that she wanted to eat her fingers went as far as to pick up the bowl of meatball soup and then poured the remaining few drops on top of her rice. She did not know what kind of feed the livestock of the Yu family ate but the meat of the lamb grown and raised by the Yu family was so tender that it melted the second she took a bite from it.      

If not for the fact that it would be too rude to lick the bowl, Gong Shun would have done that too! Sister Kang and Hou Bo were of the same thought, this was a meal that they would never forget in their lives as it was simply too delicious.      

As they rubbed their round stomachs, the three women started to worry about how they were going to have a hard time going back to their normal lives.      

Sister Kang then sighed and then praised Chen Mi and Ye Liu, " No wonder, Tong Tong always refuses to bring lunch boxes to the docks. Maybe she knows that we will finish it all if she were to bring one! Your cooking is simply too good, brothers-in-law. I once ate the meal cooked by the imperial chef's disciple but even that disciple cannot come close to your skills. The food was too delicious, if I had a daughter then I would have handed her hand to your son. I wouldn't even mind if you make her, your  household daughter-in-law."     

Hearing her words Gong Shun raised her hands and then said, " If you want an engagement then I have three daughters, you can pick any as you like!" If her daughter becomes the daughter-in-law of this house then she will be able to eat a meal every day at this house!      

Their words caused Yu Tong to glare at them unhappily she really wanted to ask how they were so shameless but given how Yu Dong loved her sons, she was sure that Yu Dong would not agree.      

And sure enough, a minute later Yu Tong heard Yu Dong say, " Thank you for such a wonderful proposal but I would rather leave the matter of choosing their spouses to my sons. If they were to marry someone they did not like then what is the point? Once they grow up then you can introduce your daughter to them."      

But of course, whether or not those women will marry her sons of not will depend on her.      

The three women did not press Yu Dong anymore after hearing her refusal, they could see that Yu Dong was different from the rest. Instead of getting the groom's price, she was more focused on the fact —— whether or not her mer sons would be happy with their life partners. A woman like her would not hand her sons to anyone casually.      

But at the same time, the three women were determined to make their daughters, decent and hard-working women. What if one of their daughters wins the hearts of the Yu family's mer sons?      

Once the three women left, Yu Dong called for the entire family to sit down in the living room. She had been thinking of something for the past couple of days and now she thought that it was only right to start implementing that plan.      

Thus,  as soon as her family sat down on the couch, Yu Dong opened her mouth and then told them about her plan to buy the mountain next to the one which came under their village as soon as Grandma Yu and the rest heard of Yu Dong's plans, they immediately frowned and said,      

" Why should we buy that mountain? It is barren with hardly any fertile land. If it was a good place then others would have fought to get it under their village," Old Madam Yu did not want to use any more money, these days their savings were getting smaller and smaller as they loaned the money to the villagers to build the greenhouse and who knows when they will get the money back!      

How can they buy a mountain with their dwindling savings?      

Shen Li also agreed with Old Madam Yu as he said, " Grandma is right, Dong Dong. We already have so much land why should we buy that mountain which is barren?"      

The others chimed in support as well because they thought that there was no point in buying that mountain but were stopped by Yu Dong as she raised her hand and asked them to become silent.     

Yu Dong then looked at her family members and solemnly said, " I am not buying that mountain for growing crops but because I think we will need it to protect ourselves."
