Chapter 491: Look at yourself first
Old man was so furious that he choked suddenly tasting a fishy taste in his mouth, they were soaking wet under the rain, the flood was getting bigger and bigger, they didn't even have a single pair of clothes to change into and yet the girl was still talking to him like this?
" Yu Dong, I know that you are angry but …look at grandfather, I am old and I have been soaking in the rain for so long," even though what Old man Yu wanted was to slap Yu Dong in the face, he still smiled at her politely. " Do you really have the heart to leave this old man alone in the rain?"
" Yup," Yu Dong didn't even waste a single second as she replied to Old man Yu's questions. Her grandmother was left to hang on the roof until god knows who came to save them, if not for Fang Chi changing her mind there was a good chance that Yu Tong and Grandma Yu would have been dragged away by the flood, yet these three selfish people ignored the two of them as if they weren't even there, what was the point of saving such ungrateful people first?
" Yu Dong!" Seeing that she was really rowing away after taking just Grandma Yu and Yu Tong even Qiu Bai couldn't help but get scared. He didn't want to be left alone here, this flood was too terrifying… the water level was slowly increasing and if they stayed here for long then who knows what will happen to them? " Please help us, there is still space in your raft can you please at least take one of us?"
Yu Dong looked at the small raft that was already full because of the extra addition and blinked her eyes. Where exactly was the space that Qiu Bai was talking about?
She raised her head and looked at him it was only then done she realise why he said that there was still space in her raft. Even though Qiu Bai was old, his figure was dainty and because he took extra care of his figure he was tiny… even though the raft didn't have much space, if she was to push and shove a little then she would be able to help Qiu Bai on the raft but [——
She didn't want to do it.
Yu Dong didn't know why but she hated Qiu Bai instinctively, these days she has been looking after the poison that was used to harm her husbands but the thing was there were countless medicines that could be used to harm a mer's womb since they were even weaker than a woman. Her husbands were harmed in the Yu family and surely it was either Qiu Bai or Old man Yu, which was why she truly disliked both of them.
So her saving them at once was nothing but a good dream.
And that's all it was.
" I don't have any space on the raft," Yu Dong didn't even bother to look at Qiu Bai as she started rowing her raft away from the Yu house. She didn't even row for more than three strokes when she heard her second aunt speak, " By doing this aren't you afraid of being called unfilial?"
Yu Dong turned to look at her aunt and smiled as she sarcastically shot back, " I will look in the mirror if I were you, second aunt, at least I didn't leave my mother hanging by the roof in the water all morning, for the sake of saving my life."
No sooner did she say that Aunt Yu's face turned red, she didn't think that what she did was wrong, after all, she was the one who took care of her mother and everyone else in the family. She was the breadwinner of the family, so what was wrong with her saving herself?
Yu Dong knew exactly what was going on in Aunt Yu's head, after all this was the only member of the Yu family who was simply hypocritical to the point that it was unbelievable.
Aunt Yu liked to pretend that she was unfilial and wouldn't feel hesitant to use the term on anyone else to suppress them either, she liked scolding the original owner for being ungrateful. But in truth, she was the one who was the most ungrateful of all, if not then how can a woman who took advantage of her niece leave her alone in that small, broken-down house with a pregnant mer? If Yu Dong hadn't transmigrated that night then even if she spent years making up for Chen Mi's loss she couldn't have made it up to him.
Yet Aunt Yu turned a blind eye to everything and when she was blamed she actually turned the tables around and said that it was the original owner who was spoiled rotten by her parents and wouldn't have done as well in the academy as her because she didn't want to waste her sister's money that's why she took the opportunity instead.
And because the original owner turned into a real douchebag many villagers agreed with Aunt Yu. But Yu Dong didn't agree with her, in her heart as long as Aunt Yu had tried a bit then she could have saved the original owner but she didn't because she was guilty.
Yu Dong rowed past the village ignoring the calls for help, she first went back to her hideout with grandma Yu on her back while Li Li brought Yu Tong, since Aunt Wang was told she couldn't go around helping people alone, so she stayed at the foot of the mountain taking care of the raft.
" Ah Chi, open the door! My hands are full," with Grandma Yu on her back, Yu Dong couldn't open the door to the room where she lived and what was more she was even instilling the spiritual energy inside Grandma Yu's body, so it was even more impossible to do it.
Hurried footsteps came as the door of the shack was open and a face that she didn't expect popped out.
