Chapter 194 – Pay Me Back

" Is this for real? I didn\'t want to believe this but looks like Yu Dong is speaking the truth, just look at the expression on Village\'s head .. she looks like she has seen a ghost"

" What a sin! If this is the truth then anyone can condemn Yu Dong but not the village head"

The voices were barely above a whisper but there were just too many voices and together they sounded like an angry hiss of a serpent. Mu Xuan felt cold to her bones, she had never expected- at that time Yu Dong was clearly drunk out of her senses, how did she remember this?

The previous Yu Dong indeed didn\'t remember any of it, if she did she wouldn\'t have suffered so much if she remembered Mu Xuan\'s promise. She would have just gone to find trouble with Mu Xuan the second she was kicked out from her house…it was just that Mu Xuan was too unlucky and the current Yu Dong transmigrated over here. After her transmigration, the first thing Yu Dong did was to arrange all the memories that Yu Dong had in her mind – that night when Mu Xuan came to see the mother of the original owner, the previous Yu Dong was also there but the thing was – she was too drunk to remember anything. Even Yu Dong with her powers had to waste quite a lot of time to wrench this one memory out of her mind. She was only trying to look for something to keep Mu Xuan in check knowing that the latter will one day find trouble with her, she just didn\'t expect that she will find such a big thing.

Mu Xuan breathed heavily and when her gaze unconsciously fell on the crowd that has come to watch the show, she stiffened- they all were looking at her like she was a scum ..why? She wasn\'t a scum! Clearly, it was Yu Dong who was the one at fault here so why was she being looked down on like this? Have they forgotten all the things that she did was for them? Her heart felt like someone had set it on fire and she roared at the crowd indignantly " What are you looking at? I did nothing wrong and you -" turning to look at Yu Dong with a fierce expression she poked her forefinger in Yu Dong\'s shoulder " Don\'t try to muddle things though this isn\'t about your mother, it\'s about you-"

" How is this not connected to that incident ?" Yu Dong slapped Mu Xuan\'s finger away, she didn\'t like anyone other than her husbands or family touching her " When you came to beg my mother to take on the pack of the bear, you promised her that you will take care of me and my family. Saying that yes he was your sister and I was just like your daughter but after my mother decided to do that one last favour on you, you conveniently forgot that promised you made but you also helped someone behind my back in kicking me from my own house, I see you have done a rather good job in taking care of my family and me"

" You ..what nonsense! Do you even have any evidence that I made such a ridiculous promise like that?" Mu Xuan will never admit, anyway that night it was just her and Yu Lian together with Yu Dong, even if she was heard by someone else she could shift the blame saying they were trying to back Yu Dong up because they were one family.

" I don\'t have evidence "

" you hear that " she turned to look at the crowd with a triumphant expression and grinned " This good for nothing is nothing but a liar- ahh what the hell"

When Yu Dong pulled Mu Xuan closer to her by her collar the latter screamed, looking at Yu Dong in horror " What now that your lies have been exposed you want to get physical?"

"No" Yu Dong faintly smiled and stared at Mu Xuan contemptuously " I might not have any evidence but a lot of people saw you coming to my house that night when my mother died … you tell me what evidence do you have that you didn\'t make this promise, I mean why else will my mother go to the mountain to hunt a pack of bear leaving her irresponsible daughter, a sick husband and a slow mer child ?"

When she put it like this no one had any retorts to say, even Mu Xuan .. she gaped at Yu Dong with a startled expression as the crowd around her looked at her with even more disdain.

" That\'s right, I saw her go to Lian\'s house that night "

" it was such a terrible night too, I actually can\'t believe that village head asked Yu Lian to head out in such weather"

" was this not attempted murder? She might not have killed her directly but still-"

Every word was like cold ice stabbing her in the back, Mu Xuan felt like she had been feeding dogs till now but what she didn\'t know was that unlike her who was only nice to her villagers that had good prospects, Yu Lian was nice to everyone thus, even if they might not speak up for Yu Dong. The villagers will speak up for Yu Lian .. and no one talks bad about the dead anyway.

" Shut up! What do you know?" Mu Xuan snapped under the public criticism that she was facing " I was doing this for all of you! For all of us! If that bear pack came down then what have you all done? And Yu Dong, don\'t make it sound so nice, Yu Lian wasn\'t doing that for me but for the village. She lived her, of course, she had to do something in return for the village-"

" And what have the village done for her?" Asked Yu Dong with a grim expression " nothing. I will let you know that my mother didn\'t die for the village, she wasn\'t as nice as that ..no one will be self-sacrificing when they have a family to look for … she did it because she trusted you, that you will keep your promise but since you haven\'t done that just take it as my mother was giving alms to you when you begged her to hunt the pack of bears"
