Novel Full Chapter 1072: A trouble making son in law
When Yu Dong returned with the livestock along with a few coarse grains. Though she could not find fine grains, it did not matter, they all were working hard to survive and had nothing to do with what they ate, with such a situation happening in front of them who would care about the quality of rice or flour? As long as one could fill their belly it was enough.
” Dong Dong, you returned with so much livestock? Are you going to send them to the sheds at the base of the mountain? But the entire infrastructure is not finished yet,” Village head Gu stepped forward to speak to Yu Dong when she saw that the latter had returned with livestock. Though the shed building at the mountain was going at a fast pace it was far from getting finished yet.
” Send them to the one which is finished,” replied Yu Dong with a sigh. She hopped down from the carriage and then said with a sullen voice, ” The town is going to get shut down very soon, I am afraid that we will not find anything in a few weeks. It’s better to purchase whatever we can before the situation becomes any worse than it already is.”
When Village head Gu heard that no grains were being sold in the town her face was marred with worry. It was only spring yet, summer hadn’t even started yet, how could they continue if this was to go on?
” Is the inventory full?” Yu Dong asked as she looked at Village Head Gu who shook her head and said with a voice full of concern, ” Far from it. The inventory is only half full and if nothing is being sold at the town then I am afraid that it will never be full.”
Yu Dong heard Village Head Gu’s response and furrowed her brows. She then waved her hand and said, ” We will go to the county then. Since there is nothing that can be purchased in the town, let’s go to the county and see if there is anything that can be purchased.” As she spoke she handed the coarse grains to Village Head Gu to put in the inventory.
When Yu Dong led the livestock inside the village, Shen Jin and his siblings came to take a look out of curiosity. They have been poor from the start and did not have enough money to purchase even a chicken much less a goat or cow. They all looked at the livestock and then raised their head to speak to Yu Dong one by one.
“Sister-in-law, are these ours? This ox and goat … they all belong to us?” Xiao Qing who was the eldest among the four asked. Ever since they came to live with the Yu family, Yu Dong hardly used their names and called them by their nickname. Now even the children were used to it.
” Thats right.. they all belong to us from now on, we are going to raise them until they are strong and sturdy,” as for what she was going to do to the livestock after growing them, she did not tell the children lest they got scared. It was truly funny. These kids liked to eat braised pork but when they saw how pork came to their table, they were horrified.
Till now she could not believe that they thought pork came out from pigs’ bellies like chickens laying eggs.
Yu Dong turned to look at Lang who was standing outside the house, she nodded at her and then walked towards Lang before asking, ” Have you finished talking with Magistrate Li?”
Lang nodded and replied, ” I have finished talking with Magistrate Li and she is furious that something like this happened, she promised that as long as you can send Lin Yiyi to the Yamen, that woman will not come out for a very long time.”
If that was the case then she did not have to worry about anything.
Yu Dong hummed as she handed the livestock to Lang and said, ” I will leave this to you for the time being. Once the Chen family arrives you can hand the matter to them.”
” They are already here, Madam Yu,” Lang said.
Though the Chen family said that it would take them a few more days to arrive, they have been travelling without a break which was why they arrived sooner than they intended.
When Yu Dong heard this, she was a bit surprised but in the end, she nodded and hummed. Since the Chen family was here, the matter of the livestock could be dealt with easily.
Lang took the livestock away while Yu Dong entered the house only to hear Chen Mi’s angry voice.
Her brows furrowed as she entered the house and looked at Chen Mi who was standing while Mother Chen and Father Chen were sitting on the couch beside them was Elder Sister Chen and her husband but the second sister Chen seemed to be missing and so was her husband.
A sense of helplessness rose in Yu Dong’s heart as she knew that something went wrong but she still walked inside the house and asked softly, ” Why are you angry? Who made you upset?”
“Sister-in-law, you are here,” Elder Sister Chen greeted Yu Dong who smiled and greeted her back before turning to look at Mother Chen and Father Chen. ” Mother, Father, how are you two?”
” I——” Before Father Chen could say anything Chen Mi on the side exploded, ” How can well can they be? When they have an unfilial daughter like my second sister and a trouble-making son-in-law!”
” Mi Mi, calm down,” seeing that his son was saying nonsense, Father Chen tried to stop Chen Mi but the latter was like a spitfire who finished eating a pot of chillies, he was not one to calm down, he looked at Yu Dong and then said, ” My second sister refused to come to the village, instead she said that she is going to stay at the Chen village!”
