Novel Full Chapter 1061: No one disturbs
When the villagers heard that the money handed by the magistrate had a special code, there was an immediate uproar and many elderly mers immediately shrunk their necks to hide themselves.
The money given by the county magistrate was not a lot but it was a big sum in the eyes of the villagers who only earned a few cents, thus instead of using that sum on their pregnant mer sons in law, they naturally saved it but now Yu Dong was telling them that there was a special code?!
” A sp..special code?” Old Madam Rong felt like her entire world was tipping upside down, she looked at Yu Dong and then turned to glare at her husband. Now that the matter had escalated to this point, it was impossible for them to get out of this matter.
Old Master Rong also panicked. He did not notice any code, in fact, he was so excited to get five taels every three months that he put everything inside a small box and did not bother to look at anything other than the shiny silver but now that Yu Dong was saying that there was a code to identify the silver handed out by the magistrate office and the normal ones, he could not help but panic.
Now… what was he supposed to do? No, he could not allow this black pot to be pushed on his head, he had always carried the title of a kind and nice stepfather in front of the village and if he was suddenly discredited as one then who knows what would happen to him and his family? They would definitely be treated roughly by the villagers!
” Village owner, if you are searching for those taels in my house then you should also look inside Rong Yi’s house,” Old Master Rong spoke up suddenly, his voice rather loud as he winked at his granddaughters whom he doted the most.
His daughter was at the town and was busy with her work, though he had sent someone to call her, she couldn’t simply fly over to their house in such a short period of time.
Yu Dong knew what he was trying to do, she was an officer and was quick at catching the smallest actions. She of course noticed the wink that Old Master Rong gave to his granddaughters, she immediately used her spiritual energy to make two gnarled roots pop out of the ground causing the two girls who were running inside the house to fall on the ground with a loud oomph.
” I will start the search but before that, everyone from the Rong family come out of the house and stand in front of me where I can see you all,” she spoke loudly, her eyes cold as she looked at the two girls who were getting back on their feet.
Seeing the look in Yu Dong’s eyes, they were so scared that they burst out crying.
Old Madam Rong cursed her granddaughters for being stupid for failing at such an important juncture but she couldn’t do anything. In front of everyone, she could only silently watch the mammies pulling and pushing everyone out of the house, before they left the members of the Rong family were counted and checked to see whether or not they were carrying any silver.
Seeing how they were being treated like criminals, Old Madam Rong was really furious but she could not do anything as she saw a mammy heading down the house that belonged to Rong Yi as well.
The villagers all saw the scenes happening in front of them, they did not know who to believe anymore. If they were to side with Rong Yi then her fame was too bad and if they were to stand with Old Madam Rong and the Rong family, then they were just told that the Rong family did not pay for Rong Yi’s wedding and it was Rong Yi who had to take out her savings to marry a slave.
Who would be willing to marry a slave? Wasn’t it because no one was helping her and Rong Yi had no choice?
” I think Rong Yi is pitiful, she is a good woman and yet she had to marry a slave because the Rong family did not pay the money for her wedding,” said one onlooker.
” Isn’t it because Rong Yi had broken the heart of her parents?” Another onlooker questioned with a slight frown. ” They might have thought that marrying Rong Yi would bring more trouble for their family.”
” But even so, how can they not let Rong Yi get married? Rong Xi is two years younger than Rong Yi and she already has many husbands and mer concubines, have you counted the number of kids in the Rong family? They are more than ten! Each mer gave birth to two children.
With such a bustling family shouldn’t Rong Yi be allowed to marry a few mers?” An elderly woman who seemed much more experienced than the others spoke up.
When Old Madam Rong heard the conversation, her expression could not help but turn livid. She glared at her daughter and said, ” Is this what you wanted to see?” She did not have a lot of feelings towards Rong Yi because her father came from a slightly better-off family and always suppressed her.
Every time she fought with him, he would suggest divorcing her. Old Madam Rong was tired of being blamed and questioned by her late husband who would keep an eye on her as if he was afraid that she would take a toe out of the house.
Heaven knows how hard it was for her to marry her childhood sweetheart.
Thus, she did not even have the smallest ounce of affection for Rong Yi and turned her attention to the kids who were born by her husband.
Rong Yi did not even look at her mother, she was holding her daughter tight such that she would not catch a cold. Upon hearing Old Madam Rong’s words, she calmly said, ” I am not worried about anything, if they want to search then they can search.”
