Chapter 1086: Trust on my wife
” What do you mean by small injury?” Ye Liu was so angry that he wished he could smack his wife on the back of her head. He clearly smelled blood when Yu Dong stumbled, even if he did not see the mercenaries, he knew that it had something to do with them.
He poured the medicine into his palm and then rubbed it in his hands to warm it up before applying it to Yu Dong’s wound.
Under his palm and the mildly cool medicine, Yu Dong hissed sharply. Though she hated to admit it now that Ye Liu was touching the bruise, it was hurting quite a bit.
Ye Liu gently massaged the wound that was swelling, the areas that he massaged suddenly started to feel cool and Yu Dong felt the stinging sensation calm down a little as the medicine started to act up.
” It’s a good medicine, where did you get it?” She asked while looking at the faint white ointment.
Ye Liu paused and then said, ” It was prepared by Brother Li.” Yu Dong did not know but Shen Li was rather smart, when he was young he would follow his grandmother who was a foot doctor to gather medicine but it was just too bad that no one in the Shen family inherited his grandmother’s skills.
Unfortunately, Shen Li’s grandmother did not leave for long either. She died after going up the mountain and never returned, even her corpse was not found. Many villagers thought that Grandma Shen was lost but three weeks later they found the clothes that Grandma Shen wore along with a pile of bones only then did they know that the only foot doctor of the Shen village was eaten by a wild animal.
When Yu Dong heard that Shen Li was the one who came up with this ointment, she was quite surprised. She remembered that she had seen Shen Li take quite an interest in the medical book that Doctor Gu brought with her but she never thought that after learning how to read Shen Li would be able to make an ointment.
” He is quite witty,” she could not help but praise.
Ye Liu did not say anything, he just finished applying the medicine to Yu Dong’s ankle and then said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to care about yourself but you still need to take care of your wounds. You are going to be a mother and already have two children don’t act like you are free of every responsibility.”

Yu Dong did not retort after hearing Ye Liu’s words, she calmly rubbed her hands and apologized before turning to step out of the room.
Once she stepped out of the room, she met with Chen Ying who looked at her with a beaming smile on her face.
” Dong Dong, I just saw the shed. The livestock raised in the shed are really good! I have never seen pigs as big as the one in the shed before,” Chen Ying said with a smile on her face even her husband had a small smile on his lips.
The goats and pigs raised in the shed by the Yu family were really big and healthy. Unlike the ones in their village whose bones stick out of their skin, they were fat and chubby filled with meat! As long as they were to butcher one of the pigs they could be sold for more than five to seven taels, how could the Chen couple not be happy?
If Yu Dong earned more than seven taels with a pig, then she could easily hand them three taels for a single pig and there were more than twenty pigs in total at the moment. Even if those pigs were killed every alternate day, they would still be able to earn a sum bigger than the one that they earned by selling Kang!
Chen Ying and Lu Nanyun were happy and seeing them happy, even Mother Chen and Father Chen were happy. Just a few weeks ago things were really tense in their family, their second daughter really went too far and even hurt Lu Nanyun and Chen Ying.
If not for the fact that they separated, Lu Nanyun would have taken away their grandchildren to his maternal home.
Old Madam Chen could not help but ask, ” Dong Dong, how are you going to set the price of the meat?”
” Hmm? The meat of the livestock raised by our family would be sold for seven taels per catty,” Yu Dong spoke shocking the entire Chen family. They thought that three taels per pig was good enough but Yu Dong was saying that she would be selling a catty of meat for seven taels. How could this be done!?
Old master Chen was worried that Yu Dong would bite more than she could chew, so he kindly advised her, ” Dong Dong, I think you should lower the price a little. In the town the butchers buy the whole pig for one tael, how could the people of the town be willing to buy your pork and chicken for seven taels a catty?”
” I understand what you are trying to say, father-in-law,” said Yu Dong with a smile. ” But you have to see the quality of the meat as well. The livestock that I raised is much better than the ones in the market. The meat is tender enough to melt in one’s mouth and the quality of meat is A grade, even if I sell it for ten taels, I can assure you that the people will buy it.”
” She is right, Daddy,” Chen Mi came home after picking some bok choy and garlic from the back garden. When he heard that his parents were doubting his wife’s skills, he picked up the bok choy and then showed it to his parents, ” Mom, Daddy, you see this? This bok choy that my wife sells in the market can be sold for two taels.
While the other vegetable vendors only sell bok choy for less than twenty cents and yet my wife is the one who finishes selling her bok choy and other vegetables first!”
