Chapter 1448 No one sleeps!
“Turns out that those two people who were hiding in the village turned around and escaped! They were the ones who brought danger to the village, and yet when the assassins came to the village—— they turned around and left the villagers alone!”
“Those scrooges ran with their tails tucked between their legs and never looked back to what was happening to the villagers. They had guards and weapons, yet they didn’t stop to save the village! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.”
“What can we do?” Mother Chen snorted. “Consider this as their fate. Dong Dong warned them not to let those people inside the village but they refused to listen. Their greed and petty thoughts made them make such a decision, who could be blamed? Didn’t we tell them not to let those people in their village? Didn’t we tell them that it was dangerous?
They made their decision, so just leave the matter at that.”
It wasn’t that Mother Chen was being heartless. But she didn’t want Yu Dong or anyone else to feel that they were in the wrong and feel guilty. They did what could be done and there was no need for them to feel troubled by what happened in the Black Pot Village.
Since they wanted to get their hands on the grains brought by those scrooges, then they might as well suffer the consequences.
“Mother is right,” Chen Mi was feeling a bit aggrieved when he heard that the entire village was burned but after listening to the words of his mother, he realized that there was nothing they could do.
The village was buried in a storm of fire, it wasn’t as if they would put their life on the line and rescue those in the Black Pot Village. Not to mention, their relationship with that village was not that deep to begin with.
Shen Li sighed and then picked up a cup of water and drank it swiftly. Even though he knew that they were not at fault, the thought of an entire village being burned left a bad taste in his mouth.
“I am afraid that those who survive would not leave, Second Aunt alone,” remarked Ye Liu with an uncomfortable expression.
After all, Yu Linyun was the one who brought those people to the village. Since those people were gone, the widowers and orphans would come to look for Yu Linyun sooner or later.
And when that happens, they might find trouble for them as well.
His words brought another wave of worry for the rest of the family, seeing that the mers were scrunching up their brows, Yu Dong sighed and said, “There is no need for you to worry about such a thing, if they do come looking for trouble, we will just ignore them. It wasn’t us who asked them to let those people in their village.”
Yu Dong was not going to give any face to the villagers of Black Pot if they were to cause trouble for her family.
“Let’s cross that bridge when it’s time,” Grandma Yu waved her hand with a yawn. Though she was also worried about her daughter, she had to admit what the fault lay with her daughter. How many times did Yu Dong tell her to not act foolish but that girl was as stubborn as a bull? Now that something like this had happened, who could blame them?
“Go and sleep,” Yu Dong said to the rest of the family including Xiao Hua. “There is no need to go back to the house tonight, just sleep in the guest room. It was already so late, there was no point in going back now.”
Xiao Hua nodded and went to the guest room. He was indeed tired, after all, it was already two in the night and they hadn’t slept a wink.
While the Yu family was preparing to sleep, Village Head Gu was smoking in her house, she looked at her husband who was crying as if the world was falling apart and rubbed her head.
“Alright, how long are you going to cry? We will go to the village tomorrow and look for in-laws’,” though she said that Village Head Gu knew that they would only be picking up corpses.

Old Master Gu cried even more loudly. “Pick up what? That rotten thing, Yu Linyun! She brought a disaster back with her and caused my parents to die! I am sure that even my youngest sister is not alive. She was just five!”
If anyone from the Liang family was alive, they would have come looking for him. But an hour had passed and no one came to look for him. What did it mean? It meant that there was no survivor in his family!
In just a matter of a few hours, he had become an orphan!
Elder Sister Gu and second sister Gu looked at one another. They were a bit uncomfortable as well, no matter how selfish and rude their paternal grandfather and grandmother were, they were their elders. What was more their cousins were good and hard-working people.
The two sisters went along with them.
Now that they were gone, it left a hollow in their hearts.
Village Head Gu slapped the pipe that she was holding on the armrest of the chair and snapped, “What do you want me to do!? I told your family that those people were not good but they didn’t listen. They were greedy for the two taels that were given to them by those people! Even when I stopped them, they didn’t listen. Now what am I supposed to do?”
Old Master Gu stopped crying, however, he continued sobbing silently. Now that the people were gone, who cared what they did wrong? The only thing that mattered was that they were gone.
Seeing him cry, Village Head Gu frowned. She looked at the lightening sky and sighed. It didn’t seem like she was going to get any sleep tonight but then again, with what happened, Village Head Gu knew that no one would get any sleep.
