"This.. This brat dared to actually act so arrogantly in front of me? Her elder?" Qiu Bai who couldn't believe that Yu Doing turned him away despite him using Yu Cheng's name was too stunned to access everything, he was ashamed and embarrassed at the thought that the good for nothing who once kept her head bowed in front of him and his son would one day actually turn her nose up in front of him! Just six months and Yu Dong changed so much? How can a person change so much?

' It must be those three, I knew it!' sneered Qiu Bai inwardly, ' it must be those mers who filled her head with god knows what nonsense, and made that brat rebel against me. '

If he knew this would happen, then he would have never let that brat leave their family, as long as he dumped them in the room next to the woodshed, he would still be able to control Yu Dong. Now the latter was so fierce to him just because he separated her family from the old Yu family.

" Village head you saw how disrespectful, Dong Dong is being to me didn't you?" said Qiu Bai as he grievously looked at Mu Xuan. Qiu Bai was the perfect example of those soft and good looking mers, his moist eyes that reddened just because of a few tears coupled with his palm-size small face and cherry lips, he looked really gentle and good-natured. So, when he behaved as if he was aggrieved or wronged, no woman was able to resist his charm, Mu Xuan was the same when she saw Qiu Bai looking at her with tears in his eyes and biting his lips as if to stop himself from crying, she too felt that Yu Doing was being too much.

Qiu Bai might have separated their families but it was Yu Dong who was in the wrong who asked her to be such a hooligan who only knows how to drink all day and tease the mers of the village? In her eyes what Qiu Bai did was correct, Yu Cheng was studying to become a scholar, with Yu Dong's character, his good name would be dragged in the mud together with hers. So what's wrong with Qiu Bai if he asked for separation?

but instead of reflecting on her behaviour Yu Dong actually put on a long face and behaved as she and Qiu Bai owed her her few taels. Mu Xuan was the one responsible for drawing up the separation documents, and she was also responsible for brainwashing the previous Yu Dong by asking her to filial to her uncle in law and aunt by separating from the family.

All because Mu Xuan didn't want Yu Dong, to drag Yu Cheng's good name down. She was the village head and was looking forward to the day when Yu Cheng will bring glory to their village by becoming a Xiucai. Thus, she too just like Qiu Bai had no good feelings towards Yu Dong and was easily swayed.

"Don't worry about her" said Mu Xuan as she cast a dark look at Yu Dong's small house " you know how Yu Dong, that niece of yours is... Sigh, if only she had a good character would I still be so strict towards her? No one in the village likes her yet I still allow her to live here all because her mother was a good friend of mine. If not for her, I would have chased this hooligan out of my village long ago. Don't care about her from now on, just leave her alone in a week or two once she is finished with the grains at her house she will come and ask you for help, then you can ask her to help you, but remember to give her the grains she wants because even if she is not a good seedling, she is still your niece"

Though Mu Xuan turned a blind eye to a lot of things and gave Qiu Bai a lot of leeway to act arrogantly in the village, she wasn't totally unfair. She wanted to be a good head of the village for that no one from her village should end up starving to death, even if the person was a bad element to the society.

You, Dong, might not be good but her husbands and child were innocent, Mu Xuan won't turn a blind eye to their sufferings.

Qiu Bai clenched his fists, give that woman's daughter grains? Hah! What a joke, he is already being graceful by letting her leave in ease without causing much trouble for her, if not he would have long banished her and those stupid mers of hers out of the village!

However, he didn't say anything to refute the village head like Yu Dong did instead he nodded, for the sake of his family and Yu Cheng, he still needed Mu Xuan's help, if ruined his good impression in front of the Village head who knows what might happen!

Though even though he was reluctant he still accepted Mu Xuan's suggestion and left after spitting on Yu Dong's door when Mu Xuan wasn't looking.

'Humph, just wait! let's see how I teach you a good lesson when you finish up using the grains that my family gave you '

What Qiu Bai didn't know was that even if the world's end Yu Dong would still have enough grains to feel her family's stomach.

-

" Are you sure, that we shouldn't help Uncle in law?" asked Ye Liu tentatively, though he didn't like Qiu Bai and his children, it was a known fact that their future was better than theirs, he was afraid that in the future the old Yu family might retaliate against them in the future " if - if Yu Cheng really became an official he might create unnecessary trouble for us"

Yu Dong put down her hoe and cleaned her hands, she has placed a water vat near the door so that everyone could clean their hands the second they return home. When she heard Ye Liu's query she snorted, Yu Cheng, clearing the Xiucai 's exams? Even in his dreams, he wouldn't be able to clear those exams!

" even if we help them, Yu Cheng would still create trouble for our family, " said Yu Dong, she didn't want to tell Ye Liu and the others about the barren fields but looks like she needed to tell them so as to stop them from being to soft-hearted in the future " didn't you help them in the past? Cleaning, washing and cooking you did everything and how did they repay you? By separating the family? By giving us this dilapidated house? Hell, even those farming fields are barren, with them doing all this do you think they will help you in the future? "

Yu Dong dropped the bomb on her poor husbands heads without giving them a chance to prepare themselves.
