Chapter 1020: Not a small matter
” Well if that is the case then you should indeed think of digging more wells,” Madam Mo wouldn’t have bothered with the commoners as her position as the Mo family’s heir made her a bit self-conceited but when she thought about how she would not be able to eat the vegetables grown by Yu Dong’s family, Madam Mo decided to speak her mind, ” I have talked with some of my friends and they have indeed told me that the situation is not looking good. It has been months since the last time it rained, and now the temperature is getting more and more hotter which is why they are worried that things are only going to get worse from here.”
She sighed and then murmured, ” Because of this some people are wondering whether or not it has something to do with the change in the throne of the country.”
” Hush now what are you speaking ?” Qiao Nan glared at his wife when he saw that she was getting more and more chatty with Yu Dong. Was the talk of the imperial court something that they could carelessly speak about?
Only then did Madam Mo realize that she might have misspoken and immediately looked around and sighed when she saw that the mers were busy with their own things.
She then turned to look at Yu Dong and then said, ” Please don’t think too much about what I said just now.”
Yu Dong did not say anything, she simply smiled and nodded. However, once Qiao Nan and his wife left she turned to look at Mammy Lin and then said, ” You should go and hire more people to dig wells in the village from tomorrow, tell her that we are willing to pay extra as long as they can dig five wells within a month in our village.”
Yu Dong: “…”
Is my house the new gossip spot or what?
” Chen Mi, why is it that you are stopping our family from getting the manure of your herd? You broke the contract and we did not say anything but do you really have to be so petty? We are from the same village!” A woman’s sharp voice sounded in Yu Dong’s house. From the way she spoke, it was as if she was demanding Chen Mi to pay what he owed her.
Chen Mi however was not scared and spoke in an even louder voice, ” Madam Yun, you should know it better than anyone. You and many other families made a huge fuss at the time when the Peng family came to my house. We did not say anything because we thought that it was given that you would be able to understand that you and the other families are no longer allowed to take anything from our Yu family. I didn’t know that we have to say it explicitly as you would be this shameless.”
Chen Mi underestimated the thick skin of these women he thought that after the contract was cancelled they would be too ashamed to face Yu Dong but who would have thought that they would come asking for manure bold as brass acting as if their family owed it to them?
Madam Yun and the rest of the women’s expressions turned a bit awkward but they still maintained their stance as Madam Yun said, ” Chen Mi, that thing has already passed. Didn’t your family cancel the contract? Why are you holding onto that small matter?”
” Hah, small matter?” Chen Mi smashed the hoe that he was carrying on the ground and then said, ” What do you mean by small matter? Do you think that questioning the integrity of my wife is a small matter? Madam Yun, it might be a small thing to you but for me and my brothers, it is a big thing! And did you not question whether Yu Dong or our family were cheating on you? Now don’t you think you are slapping your face by asking for manure what if we mix something to harm your crops?”
