Chapter 575: suspicious
” She is so sick!” Xiao Hua who has been reading the letter along with Yu Dong felt nauseous as he looked at the horrible words that were written on the paper, he couldn’t believe that someone could be this mad but now that he was looking at the writing on the letter and the sick promises of love.Yu Dong clenched the letter tightly in her hand as she looked at the letter, red hot rage coursed through her body and she let out a furious hiss, she wished she could rush after the woman who threw the stone at them but she knew that chasing after the woman would result in nothing. ” You don’t need to worry about this, for the time being, keep your windows close unless I come to your room, okay?” She told him with a guttural edge in her voice, she was having a hard time staying back instead of chasing the woman.
” You can go after the woman if you want to, I am fine,” Xiao Hua told Yu Dong, he knew that she wanted to chase the woman but was stopping herself because of him. She was worried that he was startled by what happened just now, though he was scared there was no need for him to hold Yu Dong back.
Yu Dong however shook her head. ” There is no point in going after the one who threw the stone, now that the matter of the corpses being found out has been spread among the villagers, I don’t think that the woman behind all of this would be foolish enough to do something this crazy, most probably she must have hired someone to throw this letter.”
” Even then wouldn’t catching them will bring you closer to the culprit?” asked Xiao Hua.
” If that woman was so easy to catch then someone would have caught her by now,” said Yu Dong with dull eyes.
….
The mer was also surprised when he heard old man Tang call
” She is rather upset, isn’t she?” Chen Mi asked as he looked at Yu Dong who was looking rather angry. She returned home early this evening but ever since she returned her expression was rather bad and no one blamed her either. Aunt Wang has told them about the corpses that were found in the mountain, even though they did not see the sight with their own eyes, they have to admit that just the description was enough to scare the living daylights out of them.
They were scared just after listening to what Aunt Wang told them but Yu Dong was the one who saw everything, it would be surprising that she wouldn’t be in a bad mood.
” What do you think ?” Ye Liu turned his head to look at Chen Mi while cleaning the meat that Yu Dong has brought with her. ” Can you even imagine seeing the sight of a hundred rotten corpses?”
” Eek!” Chen Mi shuddered when he heard Ye Liu repeat what Aunt Wang had told them and then kicked him on the shin while rubbing his arms. ” Do you really have to say that? Was there any need for you to repeat that?”
Ye Liu rolled his eyes as he poured the dirty water out in the drain and washed the meat again with clean water only then did he look at Chen Mi and stated in a sullen voice, ” I am just telling you how it is, Dong Dong had to see that sight and top of that the woman behind such a cruel act is after Xiao Hua, how can she not be troubled?”
When the topic of Xiao Hua was raised, Shen Li who was working behind them knocked the salt container causing a handful of salt grains to spill on the aisle of the kitchen.
The sudden noise caused Chen Mi and Ye Liu to look at Shen Li, who was slightly flustered.
” I was rubbing salt over the meat because we need to keep it out for a while and knocked this container by mistake,” Shen Li explained because his explanation did not seem wrong, so they went back to doing their own work but once they turned around Shen Li’s expression changed at once.
He turned around and looked at the meat that he was rubbing meat on but even though his hands were moving, his mind was somewhere else. He knew that Yu Dong was a compassionate woman who cared about mers a lot but the care that she was showing for Xiao Hua was rather too much, wasn’t it?
He has been trying to ignore it but now that he was carefully thinking about how Yu Dong has been treating Xiao Hua, he felt that something was indeed wrong. Should he ask Yu Dong about it? But if he was to ask about it and received an answer that he was scared to get, what will happen then?
Yu Dong thought about what she needed to do in the upcoming days before she rose from her chair with a sigh, currently, her mind was blank, given that the woman was taking care of everything so much, there was nothing that came into her head. The woman was hiding so long in the shadow that she has become one with it, now that she wanted to wrench that woman out in the open, it was rather hard for her to do that.
And what was more important was that Xiao Hua had so many admirers rounding them to one or two was impossible for them to do that.
Now, what was she supposed to do? She placed her hand on her chin and then turned her attention to the window, the sky was still gloomy but now it was no longer as violent as it was before, soon the flood was going to recede and then the villagers will go back to the village. Her eyes flashed and then she carefully thought about Pei Yuyan, she couldn’t get more information about that woman now but once the flood was gone, she will be able to get as much information as possible on that woman.
