Novel Full Chapter 1057: Want to judge? Fine, take my position and judge
Yu Dong was really upset but she still acted calm, her eyes stared at Old Master Rong without showing the slightest bit of anger which made Old Master Rong think that Yu Dong was not particularly angry with him and only came to his house because she wanted to show her authority.
This was something that he had seen many times in his village and knew that a few hundred copper coins were enough to deal with such a matter.
However, he did not rush and smilingly stated, ” Village owner, you are listening to this Jinx?
She is just a troublesome, lying brat who cannot sit still without causing trouble for me and her mother.” After speaking he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and continued speaking, ” As everyone knows, I am her stepfather and she doesn’t like me which is why she always makes trouble for me every now and then.
How can I do something as heartless as selling the ration and snatching the funds that belonged to my pregnant son-in-law? I am a mer as well and I understand the problems of a pregnant mer really well.”
” You…” Rong Yi was really angry. She did not expect that her stepfather would turn white into black and black into white with just a few casual words. If not for the fact that he was the weaker gender, she would have rushed ahead and fought with him!
He took the money and ration yet he acted as if he was in the right and she was in the wrong even saying that she was the one who made a fuss every day!
However, Yu Dong stopped Rong Yi from saying anything. Her expression sank as she looked at Old Master Rong and said, ” I am not here to listen to your nonsense, Old Master Rong. The fund that I handed you all was not something that came out of my pocket, it was something that the government officials and I collectively decided.
If you really used it for your personal gains then you will be fined and punished for making trouble against the government. Do you even know that this fund was launched to make sure that no mer would die during labour? Because of your interference, a mer almost died and I almost got into trouble!”
Old Master Rong felt his heart skip a beat but he was not willing to admit that he was in the wrong. A few months ago, his daughter, Rong Xi found a mer with a curvaceous bottom whose family was known to give birth to only daughters and naturally Old Master Rong was tempted.
Who wouldn’t like to marry a mer in their family who only gave birth to daughters? But the louder the fame, the heavier the bridegroom’s price. His in-laws asked him to bring five taels of silver including meat and rice as their village was suffering from drought, and they asked for a lot of ration.
Old Master Rong naturally was not willing to take out the money from his savings, just a mer why should he pay such a hefty sum? Fortunately, his son-in-law got pregnant and was able to receive the ration from Yu Dong and her family.
Seeing that the ration sent by Yu Dong and her family was really a lot, Old Master Rong did not hesitate and packed everything up in his house before collecting and sending it all to his in-laws, now he had nothing. The mer was married in his house and was even with a child, how could he admit his fault? He absolutely refused to do so!
That five taels was a big sum of money for their family already if they were fined then he would only be more troubled!
” Village owner, you are blaming me unjustly,” Old Master Rong’s eyes turned red as he looked at Yu Dong. ” I never did anything like what you are blaming me for, how can I harm my own daughter and son-in-law? I am not that selfish.” As he spoke he even squeezed out two fat tears while looking at Yu Dong as he continued to say, ” I am so old, I only want to live a peaceful life.
I really did not do anything.”
Rong Yi was trembling from head to foot. This was how Old Master Rong fooled her mother, he would start crying and act like a gentle stepfather, though he spoke as if he was standing up for her, he was actually egging her mother to hit her more.
Even when she was pushed by Rong Xi, Old Master Rong turned the situation around and pushed the blame on her head, causing her to lose her team and livelihood. He was so ruthless that he was not willing to let her live but in front of outsiders, he acted gentle and loving making everyone look at her with weird gazes just like right now!
” Rong Yi, what are you doing? How can you be so stubborn? Even if you don’t like your stepfather, you should not act so reckless, come on hurry up and apologize to Old Master Rong,” one of the friends of Old Master Rong hurriedly suggested to Rong Yi. He had been with Old Master Rong and was firmly on his side as he knew that Rong Yi was a troubled kid.
The other mer also nodded and said to Rong Yi, ” Thats right, Rong Yi. I know that you find it unjust but what happened to you was not Rong Xi’s fault. You fell on your own and then tried to pin the blame on your sister such that she would not get your team, I know it’s quite unfair but life is all about unfairness. You cannot be bitter and act willful, you are not a child.”
Hearing his friend’s words, Old Master Rong who had his head lowered and lips covered by his hand immediately smiled softly. Now this matter was going to end——
” If you are so skilled at judging the situation, why are you standing there? Come and stand in the position of Village head and I will become an onlooker, what do you two say?”
