古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 609: Take care

Yu Dong stared at the crowd that was running like they were in a hurry to reincarnate and stepped aside, she did not want to be stomped to death by these people who were in a hurry to reach the town. However, even though she stepped aside Yu Dong could not escape the impact of being caught up in this sudden storm.          

But even if Aunt Wang was covered in the dust she was still smiling as she looked at Yu Dong and said, " Were you the one who told the village head to go to the town and buy as much grain as possible?"      

" I did," Yu Dong nodded before taking out a handkerchief from her clothes\' pockets and then wiping her face and the extra dust that was sticking to her clothes. " I just did not expect that they will charge towards the town like they are going to fight a war."      

" The current situation is no different than that of a war," Aunt Wang stopped in front of Yu Dong who was waiting for Lang to bring the carriage over. " You are waiting for the cart as well?" Aunt Wang asked as she thought that Yu Dong did not want to use her carriage with the uneven and slippery roads. " If you are waiting for an ox cart then I will suggest that you come with me on foot, the ox carts are going to be very busy these days."      

" I am not waiting for the ox cart, I am waiting for Lang to bring over the carriage," Yu Dong replied as she placed the handkerchief back in her clothes and then looked at Aunt Wang who was looking at her. " The carriage was not in a clean condition even though we have repaired the damages, we did not get a chance to clean it. Which is why I told Lang to clean it while I tell about the grain purchase by the village head, this way we wouldn\'t have to waste our time…ah there she is." Yu Dong pointed to the carriage that was being driven by Lang to where she was over Aunt Wang\'s shoulders.      

While the carriage was still a few feet away from them Yu Dong turned to look at Aunt Wang and asked, " What about you, aunt Wang? Where is your ox cart?"      

" Where else? My in-laws took the ox cart away!" Aunt Wang bristled as she remembered how this morning her sister-in-law shamelessly came to borrow her family\'s ox carts saying that she required an ox cart urgently since she needed to buy some groceries from the town because of the raise in the price of the grains, and when Aunt Wang refused her sister in law started scolding her husband, Uncle Fu.      

She called him unfilial and what not, Uncle Fu was a mer whose heart was stronger than the other mers and he could calmly hear what his sister was saying but no matter how strong he was in the end he was a mer, soon he could no longer listen and wanted to close the door on the face of his sister who further threatened him that if he did not give their family\'s ox cart to her to buy groceries than she will spread rumours about Uncle Fu and cause his reputation to sink.      

Uncle Fu did not care about his reputation but he has to care about his sons who were still young, they were mers and if their daddy got a bad reputation then surely they will not get a match in the future because of his unfilial reputation. In the end, Aunt Wang who did not want to see her husband getting troubled over something so small let her sister-in-law borrow the ox cart as she wished.      

It was a good thing too because her sister-in-law told her that if she hadn\'t agreed with her request then she was going to bring her parents. Her sister-in-law was someone whom she could still handle but her parents in laws….they were a completely different story there was no way she could fight those two old beasts.      

" You should have called me," Yu Dong scrunched her brows up as she looked at Aunt Wang who had a slightly depressed look on her face. " If you did then you would not have to worry about anything, I would have taught a good lesson to that woman." As she spoke she raised her hand and clenched it in a fist causing Aunt Wang to laugh out loud.      

" You are such a jester," she patted Yu Dong on the shoulder. " I know that you are someone who talks with her fists before she lets the other person say a word but you have no idea how dire the conditions are going to be in the future, just wait very soon the entire village will have relatives knocking on their door, asking for this and that."      

As she thought about it, she suddenly turned worried and looked at Yu Dong. " You too should be careful, I am sure that your in-laws will come looking for you soon as well, though their villages are far from here, the Shen and the Ye village were affected as well, I am sure they will try to get hold of your husbands and wriggle money out of their grip." She then shook her head and then added,  " The last time your in-laws came here it was a hell of a nightmare I had a very hard time driving them away."
