Chapter 1439 Inviting trouble
“Let’s go,” Ye Liu placed the bowl down and then rushed after Yu Dong. Several other villagers rushed to the old house after hearing what was going on.
“Mother, you are confused! Don’t call me unfilial… I am only doing this for the good of the village! Yu Dong and her family have corrupted your mind. What do you mean by I am causing trouble?”
“It’s her who had caused trouble! She is the one who should have stayed put but she went ahead and did so many things, why did you not say that she was causing trouble? Now that I have brought a few people with me, you are saying that I have caused trouble for the village.”
“You know very well who is causing trouble! Dong Dong’s hard work is for the village and she has the capability to protect the village! What about you? If something happens you will be the first to hide in your house!” Old Madam Yu replied instantly.
Old Madam Yu had never seen her daughter fighting for the village, she just hid with the mers and the old while waiting for the fire in the village to calm down, how dare she compare herself to Yu Dong who was always in front when the village was in danger?
“They say that an aunt is like a second mother. Even if she cannot be like a mother, there should be a motherly shadow for her nephew and nieces in an aunt. However, you are truly unique, Linyun.
Instead of protecting your niece, you always compete with her even though you are not capable enough,” Grandma Fang’s expression was calm as she stated those words, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Yu Linyun.
Yu Linyun was promoted a few days ago, and ever since then, she has been acting like she was better than the rest of the villagers.
Despite taking everything that belonged to Yu Dong, she did not know how to be grateful and instead caused trouble for their village and Yu Dong.
When Yu Linyun heard Grandma Fang’s words, her expression changed. She turned to look at the woman angrily and scolded her fiercely.
“What are you talking about? I am doing this for the village as well!”
“You know how the situation is outside. Even if we are growing food and have water to drink, don’t forget that no one knows when the drought is going to end! In such a case even the smallest amount of grain can help us. I am doing this with good intentions!” Yu Linyun refused Grandma Fang angrily.
“Hah! You truly know how to turn black into white! You say that they are here for the sake of helping us? Our village is brimming with food and water! Even if the drought outside is troublesome, Dong Dong has taken all sorts of precautions! Even if the drought was to continue for a year or two, we can still survive with the measures that Dong Dong had taken!”
“Everyone knows this, so what is the point of a few barrels of rice and sweet potatoes? Unless these guests of yours are here to seek refugee in the village. It’s a wonderful plan, hand over a few barrels of rice in exchange for living a good life in the next few months!”
“However, that is not the point! The point is that you came back with such a big hoo hah! Do you think that we are not targeted enough already? You actually brought these people from the other town! Countless bandits are roaming outside. Are you not afraid to attract the attention of those bandits to our village?
Linyun, you are not doing any good to the village! You are bringing us harm!”
“Mother!” Yu Linyun indeed had this plan, this young miss behind her was of influential background, and Yu Linyun wanted to make use of her plight to curry favour with her. If she were to give her a place in the village, then this miss would certainly repay her heavily in the future.
No sooner did Grandma Yu finished speaking, the faces of the villagers changed.

“What? Grandma Yu, are you speaking the truth?”
“Linyun! Did you bring these people from another town? You have gone mad!”
“You are harming us Linyun!”
“Go and call Yu Dong and the village chief! Look at this!” The villagers couldn’t stay still any longer.
Someone noticed Yu Dong and Village head Gu walking over.
“Whats going on, Linyun?” Village head Gu felt her head throb. She was getting tired of dealing with Yu Linyun and her father. She glanced at the rich and flashy carriages and her expression suddenly changed. She walked over to where Yu Linyun and the rest of the villagers were standing and questioned, “What is this? Who are these people?”
“And why are they here?”
Village head Gu questions were answered by silence.
Yu Dong on the other hand walked over to the carriage behind that had a cart tied to it and her expression twisted.
“Who is foolish enough to tie a cart full of food behind the carriage like this? I can see the rice noodles, meat and jerky with just one glance. The bandits would have seen it too!” Yu Dong’s complexion did not look good as she walked past the carriage and glared at her stupid second aunt. “What is the meaning of this?
Do you think that the villagers are living too comfortably that you brought this danger to our village?”
Yu Linyun did not look well. She had indeed asked the missy to bring the meat and food inside the carriage but the husband of the missy said that he was not used to smelling raw meat and pushed the ration outside the carriage. They could only use a cart to bring the food along with them.
“I..we did not encounter any bandits when we were coming here,” Yu Linyun tried to quibble.
“Of course you didn’t! That’s because the bandits must be waiting to attack you in the night!”
