Chapter 1443 Village on fire
Yu Jin looked at his father and did not say anything. He picked up the wooden spoon and clumsily fed himself rice.
"Linyun is really confused," Grandma Yu shook her head as she took a bite of her meal. "I cannot understand why she cannot understand something so simple."
'In the face of benefits, how can she care for something else?' Ye Liu and the rest of the mers thought but they did not say anything as Yu Linyun was their elder and Grandma Yu was their grandmother-in-law.
There were some things that they couldn't say.
"Leave her to her own fate. Some people are just stubborn they don't accept that they are wrong unless they face the consequences," Grandma Fang sighed. She then turned to look at Fang Chi and said, "Do you remember? When you were young, you once asked your aunt to not go to the town at night because there were rumours of thieves running amok.
However, your aunt did not listen and left that night… in the end not only did she lose the money but even her leg was broken."
Fang Chi curled his lips and there was some anger in his eyes. He said, "How can I not remember? Just because I said a few words, my eldest uncle kicked me in the chest and called me a jinx. I was fortunate that I could keep my life back then." He only said those words because he heard from Mu Yuxi that the thieves were running rampant in the town.
He was worried that his aunt would lose money but her aunt did not hear a thing that he said and went to the town.
In the end, she lost the money and even broke her leg. When eldest uncle found out, he rushed to his room and kicked him in the chest calling him a jinx and whatnot. He obviously didn't do anything!
It was Eldest Aunt who did not listen to his warning and yet he was the one who had to suffer the consequences.
When Yu Dong heard his words her eyes flashed and she narrowed her brows, though she did not say anything, she noted this thing down in her heart. Even though those two did something like this when Fang Chi did not marry her, Yu Dong felt angry just thinking about how sad and miserable Fang Chi would have been when he was kicked like that.
While the two of them were talking, Old Madan Yu shook her head and sighed. "If I had known that she would become someone so selfish like this, I would have rather kept my mer sons with me instead of her. A daughter like her… it's better to not have one!"

At the same time, she couldn't help but worry, "I don't know what happened to Tao Tao and Chun'er."
These two were the mer sons that Old Madam Yu had other than Yu Ji.
"Mother, don't worry. Even though Brother Tao and Brother Chun were married off to far away land, I heard that the two sisters-in-law treat them well. Except for having three to four husbands and a poor family, the two sisters-in-law do not have any other bad habits. They also treat brothers well, it's just that they are not that skilled and can only rely on farming."
Yu Tao and Yu Chun were married off to the women who offered the highest bridegroom price because the two of them were beautiful and were even declared as the flowers of the Big River Village, many women were willing to marry them.
However, those two were not born by Old Master Tong. So he arranged their marriage without caring about how they would live. He only cared about the betrothal gifts.
Back then the woman who married Yu Tao offered a catty of venison that she had brought back with her after hunting and Yu Tao was sold for the piece of meat as Yu Cheng wanted to eat it as for Yu Chun, his life was even more pitiful. He was sold away because Yu Cheng wanted a new brush.
When Yu Dong heard their words, she curled her lips in disdain. She did not say anything but in her heart, she seemed to have realized that Yu Cheng was cut from the same cloth as Yu Linyun. Both were equally selfish.
"Grandma, there is no need for you to worry. If you are worried then just send a letter to the two uncles. I can still give them shelter as the village needs a few more people," Yu Dong would not give place to troublesome people who would bring disaster to the village but she could still take care of her family.
Grandma Yu nodded. She was indeed worried about her two sons, the situation was like this and they were living in lands which were far from where she lived. If something happened to them, she wouldn't be able to protect them.
The Yu family finished eating their meal and went to their rooms, however Yu Dong stayed awake. She left the house to patrol the village, she didn't know if something would happen tonight but it was better to be on guard than to die without knowing.
Three hours passed by, and some of the women who were guarding the village yawned feeling tired. They were thinking about changing the shift when ——
"Quick! Smoke is coming from the Black Pot Village!" A woman cried as she pointed at the thick smoke that was billowing from the village that was not far from their village. Wasn't this the village where those rich people were staying?
A chill crept up on the spines of the mammies and the women. Even Aunt Wang was stunned, she looked at the smoke flying in the air and turned to look at Yu Dong whose face was solemn. Though she looked a bit sombre, there was no surprise on her face.
Dong Dong, she knew something like this would happen!
