Chapter 752 You have done amazing ——1
Ning Yu's words caused Madam Shen and Shen Hanxing's expressions to become twisted because no matter how much they wanted to deny it, they could not change the fact that Shen Li despite being the official husband was not able to give birth to an heir for Yu Dong.
Shen Hanxing was especially upset, she thought that with Yu Dong as her sister-in-law, she will be able to live a comfortable life without doing anything after all, Yu Dong was now the owner of an entire village just how difficult would it be for her to support a few lazy bums? Her sister-in-law had so much money, all she needed to do was to give them a few twenty or thirty golden taels and that will be enough for them to live comfortably for a month.
Even Madam Shen was slightly upset, no she was very upset which was why she turned to look at her daughter and asked in a gruff voice, " Did you see Shen Li? Was he with his wife? Were the two of them together even once?"
If Yu Dong had at least a little bit of affection for Shen Li, they will be able to take advantage of it but if Shen Li was still the same as ever then Madam Shen was afraid that Yu Dong will not give them a penny! In the past, that woman had come to their house demanding a refund while saying that they gave her a worthless mer who could not even get pregnant after so long.
Back then they had a hard time sending her away and that too happened because their village head stood up for them and told Yu Dong that there was no way she would be able to get a refund since she already purchased Shen Li.
Even then Yu Dong cursed them a lot before leaving, if they were to go there now and her relationship with Shen Li was still bad, they were worried that she will definitely ask them to repay her. They had no money in fact they were hoping that they could rely on Yu Dong instead, how will they be able to survive if Yu Dong was to ask for money from them?
Shen Hanxing's expression turned grave when she heard the question from her mother and replied in a low voice, " I have never seen the two of them together."
She had seen Yu Dong leaving the house many times but she only brought Lang with her who worked on the farm with her while the rest of the mers stayed inside. Chen Mi was much more outgoing so he would bring lunch for Yu Dong with Zhu Qian but other than that he stayed inside the house all the time as well, Ye Liu will also leave the house but that was only to clean and sweep the courtyard as for Shen Li, Shen Hanxing had never once seen her brother coming outside much less see him together with Yu Dong.
Sometimes she even wondered if he must have been sold off by Yu Dong but fortunately, some villagers talked to her and told her that the official husband of Yu Dong was still Shen Li which eased her mind.
" If that is the case then I think we should move forward carefully," said Madam Shen whose eyes darkened as she looked at her daughter, she wished she could go and make trouble in front of Yu Dong right now but the thing was that among all her daughter in law, Yu Dong was the one she was scared of the most. Even more than the daughter in law who was an official, since that woman was an official she would not engage with low level being like them who came from the dirt but Yu Dong was different, if they made things difficult for her, she might punch them in the face directly.
Shen Hanxing also nodded as she agreed with her mother before saying, " I will go and talk with Shen Li, first. Only then we should go and talk with Yu Dong, if he is treated well, I think we will still be able to get a few mu of lands from Yu Dong."
As for who will work in those few mus? Of course, it was her fathers and siblings.
Ning Yu's eyes darkened when he heard the words of his wife and daughter, he wished he could warn Shen Li but he knew that this was not the correct time, he will have to wait for a while before making a move since his daughter was keeping tabs on Yu Dong and her family all day long and he could not just slip out without getting away from the prying eyes of his wife.
Sure enough, as he was thinking, Madam Shen turned around and looked at him with a glare as she raised her leg and kicked him on the waist sending him down.
" Daddy!" Ning Yu's mer son screamed when he saw his daddy being kicked by her mother but he did not dare to move forward and help his daddy who glared at him asking him to stay away.
"It's your damn fault, why could you not have taught a few tricks to that son of yours? If he had served Yu Dong well then he would have helped us a lot! He could have been so fcking useful, you messed it all up!" Madam Shen slobbered while being drunk out of her mind as she scolded her husband whose facial expression turned dark.
' I was the one who messed it up? Was it, not you who sold my son away and caused him to be traumatised?' Ning Yu thought in his head but then he pursed his lips and stood up from the floor as he wiped his face with his sleeves and coldly said, " Why should I teach anything to a jinx? It's good that he is living a life like that, it's what he deserves!" As he spoke, he angrily picked up his son and walked out Shi Xi closely following behind.
" Aish that mer is simply so stupid!" Madam Shen kicked her feet on the ground while throwing the empty jar of wine on the floor.
