Chapter 178 - Like An Empress
Chapter 178 – Like An Empress
Yu Tong didn’t mention the matter of Yu Dong buying thirty Mers all at once. The shock that she had suffered wasn’t even funny to begin with. She didn’t even have the time to bitch about Yu Dong either.
She had to think of a way to get out of this family. After receiving such a shock Yu Tong locked herself in her room.
She didn’t mention a thing about Yu Dong or the Mers that she bought in the town but even if Yu Tong didn’t say anything it wasn’t like any one in the village didn’t visit the town either.
When Yu Dong bought the thirty Mers it caused a big uproar both in the tavern and outside the tavern.
The people inside the tavern were shocked to hear the sky-high price that she had paid to buy those Mers and what they couldn’t understand why she had to buy a pregnant Mer?
But then they saw how Xiao Hua treated Li Hanjing and immediately understood, Yu Dong bought that pregnant Mer to chase after that pretty Mer, Xiao Hua!
Everyone knew how Yu Dong once used to chase after Xiao Hua, so they weren’t even shocked.
However once the matter was known to others it didn’t take long for this juicy piece of news to be spread and known to others in the town.
After all it was such a piece of explosive news! What kind of big landlord kind of thing was this? Buying thirty Mers? All at once? She even bought the infamous and arrogant Xiao Hua who looked down on every woman who chased after him? Really?
The gossip spread like a wildfire and soon it was known to the villagers who came to sell their goods or earn their daily wages –
When they first heard that Yu Dong had bought thirty Mers for twenty taels of gold they thought that someone was pulling their legs but then they couldn’t resist the temptation as their curious cat clawed at them to find out whether or not the gossip was true or not.
So even though the villagers didn’t want to believe the here-say they immediately looked around the town for Yu Dong.
Which wasn’t difficult as Yu Dong has decided to treat the Mers to lunch before leaving the tea shop to check on the building that her husbands have decided on while sitting in the tea shop waiting for her.
The villagers just have to follow the important points of the gossip and they immediately found Yu Dong sitting in the tea shop at the centre table while being surrounded by a group of pretty Mers like an Empress.
Instantly the expressions of the women of the village turned sour. They work so hard to feed their family, while their husbands worked in the house and took care of their children.
They worked from dawn to dusk …without a break until they turned old and their husbands ugly..yet Yu Dong didn’t even bother about a single thing.
She never worked in the fields for years and now she was the one who was enjoying the most? What kind of luck was that? Surrounded by good looking Mers while being served by three husbands, who wouldn’t like such a life?
The village women were jealous, they all thought that the Gods were unfair to them that they still haven’t given them a sweet fruit to eat after working so hard, well it was indeed unfair!
Yu Dong with her special power and space was indeed more lucky than these normal village women but other than being lucky Yu Dong was smart and courageous enough to take risks that no one else would.
If someone told the women of the village that they can earn decent money by selling wine they would have instantly refused because they didn’t know how to grow grapes or berries and they were too scared and timid to try it either.
Similarly no one would have gone to the mountains to hunt a tiger either.
Unlike Yu Dong who was brave enough to face the tiger and catch one -the women would have run back to the village with their tails tucked between their legs.
But none of them saw that all they saw was the comfort that Yu Dong was enjoying rather than the efforts that she have put in earning these comforts.
It would have been better if the women just stayed jealous but some of them who had a worm wriggling in their guts couldn’t stomach seeing Yu Dong at peace.
They immediately rushed back to the village one of them told the village head. While the other rushed to the Old Yu family and the remaining rushed to Fang Chi’s house. They couldn’t enjoy the fatty piece of meat like Xiao Hua but they can still enjoy the havoc right?

“Father did you hear it?” Qiu Bai who found out that Yu Dong have spent two thousand silver taels on just some pretty Mers. He couldn’t help but complain to old man Yu, his father-in-law. “Father! Dong Dong actually spent two thousand silver on some good for nothing whores, can you believe it? I mean if she has the money why don’t she help her cousin a little? Cheng’er has been complaining about the meals in the academy and he also said that because he couldn’t get a single room dormitory because of the lack of money he cannot focus on his studies! The roommates that he got are all spoiled rich brats who care about nothing – they are rich masters so they can do whatever they want but our Cheng’er is a hard-working child. I am afraid this might affect his studies … and it wasn’t much money either just twenty silver taels…if Dong Dong can spend twenty taels on those cheap Mers, she can also give twenty or so taels to you and mother as filial piety-right?”
At the thought of those two thousand silvers being wasted on some cheap sluts Qiu Bai felt like his heart was being clawed by thousand of kittens!
