Novel Full Chapter 1174: Why did you not tell me that you are opening a mall?
Yu Dong turned to look at the woman behind her who just spoke up suddenly to stop them. Her eyes narrowed as she carefully assessed the woman dressed in a vermillion robe and red lipstick that was carefully painted on her lips. Usually, women in this world did not get ready like this, which was why this woman struck as someone weird to Yu Dong and her guard raised instinctively.
” Yes,” Yu Dong replied as she turned to face the woman. She hid her mers behind her as something told her that this woman was not as simple as she looked.
The woman in red opened her eyes and coyly smiled at Yu Dong while scrutinizing her from head to toe. She then tilted her head and asked, ” What kind of shop is this? It really makes me envious. I have never seen it before, it strikes me as something really unique and interesting don’t you think?”
” It’s just something that came to my head,” Yu Dong did not show her suspicions on her face. She very calmly smiled at the woman in front of her and then explained, ” I did not have the space to build multiple shops which is why I came up with the idea of piling one shop over another as for the interior, I am indeed a bit talented in that area.”
She paused and then asked the woman, ” By the way, I have never seen you here before. Who are you?”
The woman laughed softly as she replied, ” I am Gu Lingyu. I just arrived in the town after escaping from the drought regions. Compared to the town where I lived, this place is doing better. At least I can buy grains here with money. In my town, the situation is so troublesome that money has become nothing but cold and hard metal, cannot even buy anything.” Experience new tales on M-V-L
She then pointed to the house which was at the end of the alley and then said, ” My grandmother lives there. If you don’t mind then you can come to my place for a drink or two.”
Yu Dong raised her brows. This was her first time seeing someone so polite in the town, especially when this woman was living in a house which was as big as her mall.
” Then thank you for your invitation,” Yu Dong nodded before she urged the rest of the mers to leave with her.
As her back turned to the woman, the woman named Gu Lingyu’s smile turned into a sinister sneer.
Gu Lingyu returned to the house where she was staying. The second she stepped inside the corpse of an old woman came into view and next to it was a mer who carefully examined the old woman. Gu Lingyu frowned when she saw that the corpse hadn’t been discarded and said to the mer, ” Mei Ran, why did you not take care of this old woman yet?”
” How can I take care of her so soon?” Mei Ran replied as he rolled his eyes and turned to look at the woman behind him. ” I need to make a human mask for that alone I need to deeply study this old woman’s body. If we make a mistake and that woman recognizes what is wrong then it will be troublesome.”
Gu Lingyu giggled upon hearing Mei Ran’s words and then stated, ” You are giving too much credit to that woman. I met with her and she looked like an idiot to me. By the way one of her husband is pregnant hehe… I think that we will be able to make that ointment that we always wanted with the foetus in his belly.”
….
On the other hand, Yu Dong’s face was taut. Seeing her like this, the mers could not help but be worried. What was the matter, why did Yu Dong suddenly become like this?
Shen Li looked at Yu Dong and asked, ” Is something wrong with that woman?”
Yu Dong nodded and then replied, ” You all stay away from that woman for the time being.”
Though she wanted to tell Shen Li what she heard she did not want to scare him. He was getting close to his delivery date, if he was startled then it would cost her two precious lives! She could not afford for that to happen! It was better if she kept this matter in her heart and dealt with that Gu woman on her own.
Yu Dong did not explain the matter to them but the mers understood that there was something wrong with that Gu woman. The four of them decided to keep their distance from that woman, in case something happened then they would not be able to protect themselves!
The Yu family finished having their breakfast at a noodle shop where they ordered noodles with shredded meat and ate until their stomachs were bulging when they returned to the mall. It was almost nine O’clock.
” Should we set the firecrackers off?” Ye Liu asked as he looked at the sun which was hovering over their heads.
Yu Dong nodded and Chen Ying went inside to get a long pole along with the firecrackers. She placed them on the pole and was ready to light up the firecrackers at any moment.
While they were waiting for the auspicious hour to start, a carriage came to a stop in front of the mall. The door of the carriage opened and an old mer with a frown appeared from inside the carriage.
” I say, Dong Dong… if you told us that you were going to close the vegetable shop then you should have told us that you were opening this mall as well! Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to live these past few weeks?” The old mer reprimanded Yu Dong as soon as he stepped out of the carriage.
Though he did receive a few catties of vegetables from Yu Dong, it was nowhere near enough as his wife always fought with him for the vegetables!
