Chapter 490: Not saving you
Chapter 490: Not saving you
" Dong Dong! You are here! Oh, thank goodness!" Old man Yu saw the raft that Yu Dong was rowing and immediately felt his heart that was hanging in his throat fall back to its place. Earlier when Yu Dong told him that there would be a flood incoming, he simply ignored it thinking that she was just using them as bait against the Village head.
That was why he didn't agree to his wife's suggestion to go with Yu Dong and threw a tantrum. Because he was worried that his wife and granddaughter will sneak out of the house, he even locked the doors and windows making sure that no one would be able to go out of the house, while he was doing all this he didn't forget to suck up to He Cheung, he complained about how Yu Dong came to find trouble with them and that he was absolutely disgusted by her antics of making trouble in the village.
At the same time, he didn't forget to tell He Cheung how he was siding with him and even asked him to take a good look at his grandson, the only man in the village.
Old man Yu thought that what he did was extremely smart, he even made fun of Yu Dong who unearthed her crops and moved them. Everyone knew that once the crops were taken out of the fields they will get destroyed, so the day when she was leaving for the mountain, he celebrated her stupidity by throwing a big feast, feeling a bit smug.
But his smugness didn't last for long after Yu Dong went up the mountain, the weather started to get worse. At first, it was just a bit of rain but then it started to turn heavier and heavier, seeing that the weather was getting worse, some villagers who were smart enough to finally take Yu Dong's advice packed their bags and left the village early in the morning.
In their words, it was better to brave this heavy rain for a few hours and go to a safe place than stay here and become victims of a flood.
Of course, they were severely condemned by He Cheung, Old man Yu didn't want to lose He Chueng's goodwill that he collected for the sake of his grandson, so he stayed put and when his wife tried to fight with him, he simply took out his infamous weapon—— a bottle of poison and threatened her.
To him, nothing was more important than his grandson and he refused to let anyone ruin it.
He thought that he was smart but what he didn't think that there was a chance that Yu Dong was right, though this thought did come to his head, he refused to believe it thinking that there was no way Yu Dong was actually right about something so unpredictable as flood, that's why he easily ignored her warning but who would have thought that three days later, his house would be flooded, his belongings would be gone and they would be stuck at the roof of their house?
In this situation Yu Dong was his only hope, after all even if she didn't care for him, she truly cared for her grandmother. If not she wouldn't have come to warn his wife about the flood and sure enough Yu Dong really came to save them!
" Dong Dong, you have no idea how scary it was,... I really thought that I was going to die——" Old man Yu was still talking when Aunt Wang raised the pole that she was using for rowing the raft and stopped him from getting on the raft. Seeing that he was stopped, old man Yu immediately flew into a rage as he looked at Aunt Wang and cursed, " Damn woman what's the meaning of this? How can you stop me from getting on my granddaughter's raft?"
Aunt Wang stretched out the pole in front of the Yu family members and cleaned her ear with her pinky. " I can stop you by using the authority of your granddaughter, she asked me to stop you .. so you need to stop here and now."
" What...Why?" Old man Yu was shocked after hearing what Aunt Wang has to say, he turned to look at Yu Dong who was helping Grandma Yu on the raft and hurriedly demanded, " Yu Dong what's the meaning of this? Why is it that I can't get on your raft?"
When Old man Yu needed something from Yu Dong he affectionately called Yu Dong, ' Dong Dong'. But now that he couldn't get what he wanted, he retreated to his old habit of calling Yu Dong by her full name and that too quite rudely.
"Do you even have to ask that?" Yu Dong took a look at Grandma Yu's waist which was twisted and then instilled a little spiritual energy while nursing it to make it look like she was massaging it, on the other hand, Li Li dragged Yu Tong up on the raft, and the latter was immersed in water since the morning, she was cold and trembling with chill.
If not for the sake of protecting her grandmother, she would have let go of the roof and let the flood take her away. Only for the sake of her grandmother did she withstand all the sufferings for so long, thus when Li Li pulled Yu Tong up the roof, she sputtered and coughed before dropping straight on the raft.
Yu Dong glanced at Yu Tong and took off her jacket and draped it over Yu Tong as she said, " You were the one who said that you will rather die than come to my hideout, so why should I bother saving you?"
It wasn't that she wouldn't save the rest of the Yu family but these three people were simply ungrateful to bones. If she saved them without making them suffer then they would take it for granted, it was better for her to make them suffer a bit.
She crouched down to take a look at Yu Tong and further added, " I don't want to be called unfilial that's why I will leave you alone, Old master Yu. If I take you with me and you kill your self then I wouldn't be able to withstand it."
