Chapter 807: Let us stay——2
Tan Mo gritted her teeth and then said with a trembling voice, ” Miss Yu, I understand that you do not wish to trust us and I wouldn’t have trusted myself either if I was in the same position as you but I swear to the heavens that I and my family never touched the human flesh which was being eaten by my fellow villagers!”
“In fact, we tried to keep them from harming our children and others as well because if they were to eat the meat of a human what will be the difference between humans and beasts? But then our grain stock ran out and we could not hold on any longer.”
” If I were to say a single lie, then let the heavens strike me dead here and now!”
” Wife!” Hu Bing could not help but shiver when he heard his wife take such a dangerous oath, he wished he could rush up ahead and stop her from making such oaths but he was a step too late and Tan Mo was already done speaking by then.
” I swear as well, my family did not take a bite of the human flesh nor did we take part in the hunting and snatching of human kids,” Xiao Yu chimed in as she grounded her teeth and spoke in a pleading voice, ” Please let us have a small place in your village, we swear that as long as we get a small space in your village, we will change our daughter’s names into that of our mother in law’s.”
Yu Dong looked at the pleading women and sighed, she turned to look at Village head Gu and said, ” Go and bring, Old Madam Hu.”
Village head Gu did not know why Yu Dong was asking her to bring Old Madam Hu but now she was used to following Yu Dong’s orders and thus went without even questioning for what reasons Yu Dong wanted Old Madam Hu’s presence.
Once Village head Gu turned around and left, Yu Dong turned to look at the two women and then said in a slightly stern voice, ” Do not blame me for being straight to the point but this decision can only be left in the hands of your mother in law, if she is willing to take responsibility of your families then I will allow you to stay in this village but be aware of the fact that in case you make a mistake, then your mother in law and her family will suffer just as much. Unless you want your mother-in-law and her family to be kicked out as well, you better keep proper conduct!”
When Yu Dong warned Tan Mo and Xiao Yu, her voice was extremely cold which caused Tan Mo and Xiao Yu to shiver.
” W..We understand!” The two agreed without hesitation, in fact, there was no question of hesitation anymore. When they came here, they already knew that they will have to work twice as hard to gain the trust of these villagers, because of where they came from, it was evident that they will have to suffer cold gazes and taunts but as long as they were alive, it did not matter if they were ostracised by the villagers.
Getting killed and eaten with their human bones dropped in a pit was much worse than getting ignored!
No sooner did they agree Old Madam Hu with her official husband arrived, when Old Madam Hu’s official husband, Old Man Hu saw his son, he immediately wanted to rush ahead and hold him up but was stopped by his wife who looked at her kneeling daughters in law and mer sons with a complicated look in her eyes, she did not blame them for coming here but she truly had no idea what to do with them now.
If she was to take them inside the village then not only will she have to take responsibility for their actions but she will be scolded by the villagers as well, she was already an old woman why was she getting troubled like this?
” Wife, why are you stopping me?” Seeing that his wife was stopping him from meeting his son, Old Man Hu was dissatisfied and could not help but question his wife angrily. nov𝔢𝑳𝑈𝓢𝔅.𝐂/o/𝑚
When Old Madam Hu heard her husband’s angry voice, she was so amused and angry, that she laughed. ” Have you forgotten why we are living on the outskirts of the village? It’s because of you and Second Hu’s fault that we have to live at the shack! How much more do you want to drag us down?”
When Hu Pan and Hu Bing heard that their mother was blaming them, they lowered their heads. The last time they came to borrow grains from their daddies was because Village head Chou came looking for them when their wives went into the small mountain to find some yam sticks for them to roast and eat.
Because their wives were not in the village, the Village head pushed the two of them out of the village and asked them to bring the grains back from their house, saying that if they did not bring the grains with them, then she will not let them inside the village.
Hu Pan and Hu Bing knew that they were going to trouble their Daddies but the thing was that also had their kids under the grasp of the village head Chou and could only come looking for their daddies.
The two of them tried to keep away from their fathers but looks like they could not stop the flu from reaching their daddies causing them to be infected along with their mother, unlike their village where everyone was suffering from flu, the big river village was different it was no wonder that their mother was kicked out of her house and was asked to live in the outskirts of the village.
If that were the case, then most probably their mother will not agree to let them inside the village.
