Chapter 1548 Murky schemes (2)
In the end, even though Liu Chonglin felt a bit burdened, he accepted Shen Li's kindness. That mer was right, their pride was one thing but since they were not capable enough to give their children a better life, they might as well accept the little kindness that was handed to them.
"Very well, just cook a pot of spicy and sweet pork belly," seeing that the children really wanted to eat it, Liu Chonglin thought it would be wrong of him to return the pork belly to the Yu family.
"Okay!" Little Ke agreed with a smile, he turned to look at the children whose eyes were lit up with excitement.

"But why!?" At the Ding house, Ding Xuelan was furious when she was told that she could not eat the two catties of pork belly.
She had long heard that it was the finest quality pork belly that was sold in the mall. An ounce of this pork belly was sold for more than two taels, and the pork belly was rumoured to be softer than butter and would melt at each bite.
It was so delicious that anyone who ate it would taste a delicacy which was rumoured to be even more delicious than imperial cuisine.
Ding Xuelan was looking forward to getting a bite of it but was told that she could not!
How could she accept it?
"Brother Shuhua, you are being too much!"
"Am I being too much!?" Xu Shuhua locked the pork belly in a small vat that had cold water at the base and another smaller vat inside of it that held the pork belly.
As there was no ice, they could only do this to save the pork belly from getting rotten.
He turned around and pointed at Ding Xuelan's nose, "My wife was the one who put her life in danger and put out the fire. You were asked to do the same but you hid inside your room and never came out. Now you want to eat the pork belly that my wife exchanged with her life? You have to be dreaming."
After speaking he picked up a small basket and then walked out of the house to pick the wild vegetables.
"Daddy! Look at that!" Ding Xuelan had always gotten what she wanted as long as she complained to her daddy but this time around even Old Master Ding found himself to be useless.
This was because he went around the village to ask whether Xu Shuhua was speaking the truth or not when he told them that Yu Dong would punish anyone severely who would torment the mers in their family.
Turns out that Xu Shuhua was not lying.
This village indeed had such a rule. As long as the mers were to complain, their families would be taught a lesson by the mammies who patrolled around the village.
The last family who was taught a lesson lived just three houses down and their daughter was still lying on bed. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
All because she tried to kill her official husband for the sake of her lover.
The mers of this woman were given decent jobs while the woman almost lost a leg.
Who knows when she will get better? Old Master Ding thought worriedly as he rubbed the head of the cane which he used to support his body.
"Ridiculous! Simply ridiculous! Just wait for your sister to return, I will ask her how she teaches her husbands. Two catties of pork belly and we cannot even eat a bit of it? How shameless!" Old Master Ding was simply enraged.
Even if he was looking forward to eating a nice meal, it seemed like he was not going to get it.
Ding Xuelan was not happy with this answer but there was nothing that she could do, after all her sister and brothers-in-law had no respect for her. Even if she was to make a fuss, they would hear a thing.
On the other side, Ding Nuannuan was coldly looking at her mother.
She knew that this woman was useless but she didn't know that she was this idiotic. Last Night when the shouts of fire echoed in the village, she asked Ding Xuelan to go and help the Yu family.
Yu Dong was so skilled and powerful, that there was no way she would let anyone get injured. All her mother needed to do was to pick a few buckets of wet sand and throw it on the fire.
And yet this woman refused to do that too!
She even scolded her for being too heartless. Ding Xuelan snapped at her and said that she wanted to see her die which was why she was sending her to such a risky situation.
Now that she had seen the benefits Ding Yao had received she wanted to chip in. Was there such a good thing?
"I really cannot withstand this anymore," Ding Nuannuan walked away. Once she was alone in the room, her eyes flashed again and again.
Now that she had seen how luxurious and wonderful the lives of those who were following Yu Dong were, she was even more uncomfortable when she thought about how Yu Dong didn't dote on her.
"Big Yu, didn't you say that Miss Dong would care for me very soon? Why isn't it happening?" Ding Nuannuan asked the magical doll.
Big Yu pursed her lips. She was still reeling from the fact that this Yu Dong who took her life and body knew how to hunt.
From what she heard, the current Yu Dong earned her first pot of gold by hunting a boar and deer. But …She did not know how to hunt!
Would she have made the same profit as the current Yu Dong if she hadn't died?
Big Yu felt her head clear up but then a second later something jolted within her soul and her eyes turned murky.
She replied, "If Yu Dong doesn't dote on you then you can make the entire village dote on you. When that happens, Yu Dong will turn the enemy of everyone if she were to ignore you."
