Chapter 1077: The anger of mers
When Yu Dong returned to the village, she found Lu Huo hiding behind the bushes near the bottom of the mountain. He looked up at her with tears in his eyes upon hearing the sound of footsteps coming towards him, ” Ma..Madam Yu, are you okay? They…they didn’t hurt you right?”
” Get up, I am fine.” Yu Dong motioned Lu Huo to stand up from the ground while looking at him with slight concern. Though Lu Huo was able to escape, it did not mean that he was not harmed, his face was slapped multiple times causing it to be swollen and there was a nasty cut on his upper lip making him look a bit scary. ” Come with me, you need to treat your wounds or they will flare up.”
Lu Huo wanted to refuse but then he thought about how he would only get beaten up by his wife after she found out that he was able to escape, he nodded and followed Yu Dong to her house.
Fortunately, the sky had gotten darker and no one paid attention to Lu Huo who was walking with his head lowered behind Yu Dong. When the two of them returned to the Yu house, Yu Dong found her husbands sitting in the house.
Fang Chi had returned from his uncle’s village. He was talking to Shen Li when he saw Yu Dong return, a bright smile decorated his face as he greeted Yu Dong, ” Dong Dong, you are here? I brought back the tea plants as well as soybeans and peanuts. My uncle was more than happy to sell these things to me, he even gave me some sunflower saplings.”
However, his smile slipped a little when he saw Lu Huo walking behind Yu Dong. Seeing the poor mer beaten black and blue, Fang Chi was reminded of how Mu Yunxi used to treat him and he hurriedly asked, ” What happened to him?”
Yu Dong walked to the couch and then sat next to Fang Chi before saying, ” I will tell you but first help him with his injuries and hand him something to eat, he looks starving.”
Lu Huo wanted to refuse when Yu Dong asked her husbands to bring him something to eat but then his stomach growled and he couldn’t do anything other than lower his head in embarrassment.
He did not eat anything, this morning he was working the fields and when he returned his in-laws had already finished everything, there was not even a grain of rice left and in the evening he was dragged to the mountains by Lin YiYi.
” There are still a bit of egg noodles left, I will heat them for him,” Chen Mi said while Fang Chi went to the cabinet and pulled it open before taking out the medicine to stop bleeding as well as some soothing lotion that would help with the swelling of Lu Huo’s face.
” Sit down,” Fang Chi told Lu Huo who nodded and then sat on the edge of the couch timidly. He was afraid that he would dirty the couch if he was to sit properly.
Ye Liu, who understood what Lu Huo was thinking rolled his eyes and then said, ” Are you looking down on us? We can still wash the cover if they get mud stains, just sit properly!”
Though Ye Liu’s words were harsh, Lu Huo knew that he was looking out for him. So he moved his butt and then sat down properly such that Fang Chi would be able to treat him.
While Fang Chi was cleaning the wound on Lu Huo’s face, Shen Li turned to look at Yu Dong and asked, ” What happened?”
Yu Dong sighed and told her husbands about what happened in the mountains. She wanted to call Master Yuan but ever since he found out that Lin Yiyi had been sending letters to the capital, he left rather early and never came till everyone was asleep.
” I really did not expect the matter to escalate so much,” she sighed and rubbed her forehead, though Yu Dong was worried her husbands were no longer paying attention. They only heard one thing and that was —— someone offered two beautiful mers to Yu Dong and even stripped them in front of her.
Ye Liu’s eyes darkened ominously as he looked at Yu Dong and said, ” What did you say? That woman wanted to bribe you by offering two naked mers ?”
Yu Dong did not notice the ominous expressions of her husbands and simply nodded.
BANG!
Yu Dong’s eyebrows twitched as she raised her head and looked at the bowl of noodles that was slammed in front of her. It was a good thing that Chen Mi was not strong enough or else the bowl would have snapped in half.
She then raised her head to look at her four husbands and sure enough, their expressions have become a bit too intriguing.
Their dark eyes were locked on her and Yu Dong could not help but feel a chill climb up on her neck.
Yu Dong hesitated and then said, ” Whats the matter? I did not do anything to them. You know I am not that kind of woman.”
Shen Li looked at his wife who was acting as if nothing was wrong and stood up from the couch as he said, ” Dong Dong, will you come with me?”
Though Yu Dong did not know why Shen Li asked her to come with him, she still got up from the couch and then followed Shen Li into the bedroom that belonged to Shen Li.
” Close the door if you don’t mind,” he told her gently and Yu Dong pursed her lips. Was he going to make her kneel on the washboard?
‘ What a hassle,’ Yu Dong sighed in her heart. She didn’t even do anything wrong and yet she had to suffer because her husbands got jealous. She really could not understand why each one of them carried a vinegar jar.
Yu Dong turned to walk back to the door and then closed it, mentally preparing to kneel but when she turned around to her surprise she found Shen Li sitting naked on the bed with his pregnant belly.
