Chapter 28 - You Are Not Her
Chen Mi with the help of Ye Liu sat down on the new mattress , the second he sat down on the mattress he felt as if he was sitting on a fluffy cotton cloud. It was so soft and comfortable that Chen Mi thought he was dreaming, ever since he was a child no one in his family cared about him. His daddy and mother both only cared about his eldest sisters they even sold him of because there family was in need of money.
He had never been treated so gently before, Chen Mi touched the soft mattress with his trembling hand, he was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t even form any words to thank Yu Dong for her hard work and gentle care.
Ye Liu settled Xiao Bo next to Chen Mi on mattress, Xiao Bo who laid down on the mattress also liked the soft and comfortable mattress. He happily wriggled his body on the mattress and flapped his limbs patting the mattress and making loud thump thump sounds. Yu Dong watched the little baby happily playing on the mattress and thought that the purchase of mattress and quilts was really a good call.
She handed the rest of the quilts and mattresses to Ye Liu and said “Here take these with you and change the mattress and quilts in every room. There is no need to change the quilt in my room it is still good and can be used for another few years.”
Ye Liu wanted to say something to Yu Dong he didn’t like the idea of using new quilts while Yu Dong used her old one. However Yu Dong didn’t give him a chance to say any thing, she hurriedly picked two goats that were lying on the floor after she passed the quilts and mattresses to Ye Liu then she turned to look at Yu Mai and said “C’mon Mai help me take these goats to the backyard they are still sick I am afraid that if I leave them here they might dirty Chen Mi’s room. So come with me and we will tether these goats in a backyard.” After saying this much Yu Dong turned around and left Chen Mi’s room behind her Yu Mai picked the only goat that was left and rust after his elder sister leaving Ye Liu and Chen Mi alone in the room.
Ye Liu turned his head and looked at Chen Mi over his shoulder he hesitated for a bit then spoke up ” What do you think should do do as she said ?”
Chen Mi starred at the new mattress and quilts on his bed and nodded “I think you should do as she asked you to do we don’t know how she might react in any case you should do what asked you to do. She is our wife and we should follow what she asked us to do.”
“What have asked you to do ?” Shen Lin who have gone to close the front door returned back to Chen Mi’s room after a few minutes and the second he entered he heard the conversation that was going on between Ye Liu and Chen Mi.
He didn’t know what Yu Dong asked Ye Liu to do but upon seeing the quilts and mattresses Ye Liu’s hands he understood what work Yu Dong has left with Ye Liu “Dod she ask you to change the bedding in the room ?” Ye Liu nodded his head and told him that Yu Dong has indeed asked him to change the bedroom of the house.
Shen Li frowned but he nodded his head understanding what Ye Liu was saying “I got it, here let me help you.” He took the rest of the quilt from Ye Liu’s and walked out of the room. Now that Chen Mi had agreed to change the quilts and mattresses Ye Liu had no opinion of his own he followed after Shen Li like a good little guard dog.
On the other Yu Dong had left Yu Mai to busy himself with the tethered goats and was taking out the cutting grapes from her inner world while Yu Mai had his back turned to her.
Even though the grape cuttings might grow well in her inner world, Yu Dong couldn’t take out the grown and sweetened grapes from her spiritual world without any alibi therefore she needed to grow some grapes in this small field of her house in case anyone came and asked from where she was getting the stock of fresh grapes. Yu Dong took out the cuttings from her inner world one by one and planted them all in the field that she had plowed the day before.
She continued to plant the various grape cuttings into the farming field and then finished off her work by sprinkling the seeds of the berries in the field and covering them with
soil.
Yu Dong was happy with her hard work and stood up after what seemed like a very long time . Now that she was done sowing the seeds , it was time to water them with her special spiritual energy infused water . Thus , she strode towards the well that was located at the very end of the house and started to pull the bucket of water after filling it up .
Yu Dong had nearly pulled the bucket full of water and was just taking it out of the mouth of the well , when a deep and calm voice came from behind her ” you are not her , are you ?”
She was so startled in her fear and surprise that Yu Dong let go of the bucket and let it fall back in the well with a huge ‘ splash ‘ , she turned on her heels and found herself face to face with the always calm and gentle , Shen Li.
Uh oh – how did he find out ? where did she go wrong ?
