Chapter 1059: Search
As soon as Yu Dong asked for the receipt, Old Master Rong turned silent. Since he did not pay for that mer, obviously he did not have the receipt. So how could he make it appear out of thin air? He could only purse his lips and lower his head while acting like an ostrich whose head was buried under the ground.
Now that Yu Dong was determined to investigate the matter, Old Master Rong was worried that he wouldn’t be able to hide this matter for long!
When the two old mers saw that Old Master Rong had turned silent, their eyes could not help but turn wide in disbelief. Rong Yi was telling the truth? She was the one who bought the mer and made him, her husband?
Then why did Old Master Rong and Old Madam Rong complain for days calling Rong Yi unfilial and saying that she made them waste a lot of money that belonged to their eldest granddaughter’s marriage?
The look in the eyes of the two mers changed along with the rest of the villagers. After all, they all have heard Old Master Rong and his wife complaining about Rong Yi. When Rong Yi fell off the building which she was working on, it was Old Master Rong who told the entire villagers that Rong Yi was doing nothing and stayed in bed all day long while ordering their family around.
If Rong Yi had such a dominant influence in the family then would she use her own savings to buy a slave and marry him?
They all immediately started to concoct their own theories, while looking at Old Master Rong whose face turned red upon seeing that others were looking at him with contemptuous gazes. He bit his lips in frustration wanting to say something but not knowing what to say! With Yu Dong not getting fooled by his soft approach, he could only rely on his wife to deal with her.
Fortunately, Old Master Rong’s granddaughter was rather smart. She knew that her grandfather was in trouble and immediately went to fetch her grandmother who was working in the fields. The Rong family was one of those families who did not accept the contract or the greenhouse, they did not wish to share their earnings with anyone.
In their eyes, Yu Dong was the owner of the village and she was responsible for taking care of the villagers and raising their living standards so why should they give her money?
She should hand everything to them out of her own free will without asking for a single penny!
” Grandma! Hurry come with me, the village owner has come to our house and she is really angry! She is bullying Grandpa!” The eldest granddaughter of the Rong family was now eleven years old and under her grandfather’s pampering and teaching, she was quite scheming as well.
Her mother told her that all the money and properties that were owned by the Rong family belonged to her and her sisters. Even the money saved by her aunt, now aunt had wasted the money by buying a slave and was causing trouble. Her aunt deserved to be beaten by her grandmother! How dare she call the village owner and complain that they have taken away the funds and the ration? So what if they did?
They were family and they had so many members, even if her aunt suffered a little so what?
Her aunt only had two members in her house, how much can they eat? It wasn’t as if her grandfather did not leave anything behind. As for the fact that Old Master Rong only left coarse grain which was hard to chew, Rong Yusha did not care about it at all.
When Old Madam Rong heard that Yu Dong had come to her house, a bad premonition rose in her heart. She already knew that their family had done a lot of bad things which was why the cogs in her head immediately started to turn as she started to think about what was the reason for Yu Dong’s arrival.
But after thinking for a long while Old Madam Rong realized that there were more than ten reasons for Yu Dong to come and look for her causing her to purse her lips.
” Whats the matter?” Though Old Madam Rong did know that she was at fault, she still pretended to act as if she did not know what happened. How dare she act as if she was aware of the matter? Everyone working in their fields next to her was looking at her and her granddaughter. If she was to say something wrong at this moment then it might cause trouble for her later!
Rong Yusha had been waiting for her grandmother to ask this question, the second Old Madam Rong questioned her, she immediately spoke up and while she told the matter to Old Madam Rong, she deliberately vilified her aunt. Her mother had told her that the more they talked bad about their aunt in front of their grandmother, the more grandmother would favour them.
Sure enough, once Old Madam Rong was done listening to Rong Yusha, her expression turned black as she slapped her thigh and sneered, ” That wretched girl, she really thinks that she can do anything now that she has grown up! Unfilial little thing! Come, I will have a good talk with that aunt of yours!
How dare she cause trouble for your grandfather, who does not know that your grandfather spent great labour to raise her.”
With that, the two of them went back home.
The villagers who were working in the fields looked at each other before wiping their hands and rushing after Old Madam Rong. What a joke, this matter was now under Yu Dong’s jurisdiction, surely there was a good show to watch how could they miss something so exciting like this?
Thus when Old Madam Rong and Rong Yusha arrived at their house, they were stunned to see the entire village standing at the entrance of their house.
Old Madam Rong: “…” Was her family made up of clowns?
Villagers: Not yet, Not yet. We are waiting for Yu Dong to make you a clown.
