Chapter 1530 Unhappy with harvest
Old Master Ding paused and added, "And try to be a better daddy to your daughter. Teach her well, what is she doing? Saying all that nonsense outside?"
"Can she not even understand that saying such things could cause trouble for our family?"
Old Master Ding did not scold Ding Nuannuan because he believed that she was the heir of his family but also, he was certain that Ding Nuannuan must have heard Gu Mo speaking nonsense.
This mer liked gossiping too much, he must have taught Ding Nuannuan. He must have also taught Ding Nuannuan to tattle tale.
Gu Mo pursed his lips and glanced down at his daughter, and seeing her frightened appearance he could only swallow his words.
If possible he wanted to swear to the heavens and tell his father-in-law that he did not teach these things to Ding Nuannuan. He had no idea where she heard these things.
Gu Mo really did not expect Ding Nuannuan to say such a thing to Ding Xuelan. She even egged Ding Xuelan to go and find trouble with Yu Dong and Yu Mai.
Was it because she was the daughter of that bastard? Was it because of that reason that she was so good at manipulating? She was just ten years old and yet she was saying such things already.
Although Gu Mo also had some dirty thoughts toward Yu Dong he never meant to do anything to anyone.
But Ding Nuannuan was different, she was only ten years old and she was daring enough to lie in front of him without batting an eye.
If he was being honest, this was a bit terrifying.

On the other side, Yu Dong was staring at Yu Mai who had his head lowered.
With his fingers twiddling Yu Mai took peeks at Yu Dong's face.
"Now," Yu Mai flinched upon hearing the voice of his sister. "What do you want to say?"
"I…I am sorry…?" Yu Mai offered tentatively while staring at the delicious rice noodles, sweet potato rice and braised intestines. He had a feeling that he wasn't going to get any lunch today.
Yu Dong smiled at his fearful apology, she reached out her hand and placed it on top of his head.
"No need to apologise," she told Yu Mai. "You did a good job, there is no need to let someone who is not related to us in any way bully our family. It's better to be a bully rather than to be bullied."
When Yu Mai saw that Yu Dong was not angry, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought that he was going to miss out on lunch because he fought with someone.
"I will say the same thing to you all as well," Yu Dong picked up some bamboo shoots that were cooked with bacon and placed them in the bowl of Yu Mai. "Instead of letting someone bully you, you should deal with them without worrying about the consequences."
Yu Dong did not care what her family members did, as long as they left their bullies with a breath, she could protect them.
It was better to watch them get into trouble rather than come back home and cry like a child who had been bullied with nowhere to go.
"Don't teach the children such dangerous things," Shen Li said to Yu Dong. He was helpless as well, with Yu Dong saying such things, he was worried that she would end up ruining the children.
"I am not teaching them bad things," Yu Dong turned and looked at Shen Li before saying, "Isn't it good that they do not get beaten and instead beat someone else instead?"
"How could that be a good thing? What are you going to do if the children come to learn that they can beat anyone and their mother or sister would back them up? That would be harming the child and raising them to be a tyrant! Do you want to raise a bunch of tyrants?" Shen Li would rather not teach his children such things.
Yu Dong was also helpless when she saw how stern and stubborn Shen Li was acting. However, she did not think much about it as she knew that her children inherited her powers which meant that they could protect themselves well.
As for those who couldn't she would just hire a few more women and teach them to be shadow guards. There was nothing to worry about.
After lunch, Yu Dong went to supervise the harvest of the rice. The villagers had started to harvest the rice that they had cut from the field earlier.
Yu Dong wanted to see the difference between the harvest of the seedlings that had been soaked and watered by the spiritual water and the ones that were only soaked and not watered by the spiritual water.
"Six hundred and twenty catties! Village Head Gu, your rice paddies actually raised such plump and sweet rice!" The little mer who was watching the excitement on the side said to Village head Gu whose face was filled with beaming smiles.
She was really glad that she had listened to Yu Dong and harvested her rice or else she would have suffered from a great loss.
The villagers were also excited when they saw that the harvest from Village Head Gu's rice paddies was this good. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire
They hurriedly asked the threshers to harvest their rice as well.
"Seven hundred catties!"
"Eight hundred catties!"
"Five hundred and sixty catties!"
The entire village was filled with giddy laughter even Yu Dong smiled. Other than the shine and the plumpness of the rice, everything else was just the same. There was no particular difference in the harvest of the rice, just the taste and this was something that Yu Dong had expected.
Since she had expected it, Yu Dong was not particularly disappointed.
However, there was someone who was really disappointed and this person was Lin Tianhui. The young wife of Old Master Tong.
