Chapter 1013: You are even bigger than heavens
Once this thing happened, the families related to the Peng family suddenly turned anxious, worried, embarrassed and angry. They tried to look for their mers who ran away but it was as if they vanished in thin air and couldn't be found, however, they all knew that it was their in-laws who hid their mer sons in the house and refused to let them see their husbands. What was more even worse, the women of the Peng family and their in-laws heard that their mers were now looking for another wife.
They were willing to marry an older woman with children as big as them instead of staying in their families. All because now their family would be counted as criminals as they were sent to the Yamen.
And what was even more worse than their mers running away was that their daughters' marriages were called off one after another. No good families wanted to mix with a family whose family members were sent to the Yamen. Thus the matchmakers immediately sent words one after another saying that the families needed a bit more time to consider their proposals.
" They are simply lying through their teeth!" One of the women of the Peng family's in-laws could not help but say, that the marriage was already set in stone and they even decided to send the invites but now they were being suddenly told that they needed some time to think. Who were they lying to?
However what else could they do? If they were in the shoes of those mers' parents they would also refuse to get married to their family as they had Yamen convicts in their family.
That wasn't all, some of the families were told to leave the village altogether as the villagers were worried that these families would find trouble with them in the future. After all, a family of convicts, what good there might be getting involved with families like these?
" Father, you have to do something!" One of the women could no longer stop herself. Her husband ran away leaving their children behind, now she found out that he had moved to another family and was leaving as a concubine of a woman in her forties. Clearly, he was married to her as the official husband but for the sake of cutting ties with the families of criminals, he ran to his maternal house and then got married to another woman and that too as her concubine!
This was simply a slap to her face and to make things even worse, they were now being asked to leave the village. How can they live like this?
Her father's expression was black as well. He truly hated his wife for creating such trouble for their family, now that the situation was like this there was nothing that they could do even if they were to sell this house of theirs, they would make a loss as no one would be willing to buy a house that belongs to a criminal who sent to the Yamen. What was more he did not have a tael of silver to take his wife out of the Yamen either.
" We need to go and find the woman whom your mother offended if this goes on we might all die!"
The woman also understood what her father meant, though she knew that Yu Dong was not going to forgive them. They had to make sure that they could stay in this village!
Thus the next morning, mers from all around the village came looking for Yu Dong and Shen Li. They even apologized to Old Madam Yu.
" I am sorry, Madam Yu. My mother is old and she is getting muddleheaded." The mer said to Yu Dong and Old Madam Yu before taking out a tael to offer it to Yu Dong. " This money is for you to compensate for your injuries. Please accept it and forgive my mother."
Yu Le who was helping his mother up turned to look at the mer and then said coldly, "Your mother is old but mine isn't? Because of her my mother almost lost her life. If her ribs had been a bit more in case Yu Dong did not arrive quickly then my mother…" his eyes turned red and then looked away before stating coldly, " I don't want to talk to you, you can leave. What your mother did can never be forgiven."
Hearing Yu Le's words, the mer lowered his head guiltily and then said, " I am really sorry about what happened, Brother."
After the mer left, many other villagers came looking for Yu Dong. However only a few of them were sincere, most of them came looking for Yu Dong to tell her how poor they were and how they couldn't take out a tael and five hundred copper coins. They begged Yu Dong to let them go.
Chen Mi was so angry that his entire face turned red as he chased after them with a broom, "Who are you to call yourself poor? I say that you are even richer than the heavens itself. If not why did your family come looking for my family's lives? If not for their luck they would have died! Since your family can decide who gets to live and who doesn't, taking out a tael is an easy task for you right?"
These people were truly too much, they were the ones who ruined Xiao Hua's face causing Lang Ru that child to lie down on the bed for months along with almost killing Grandma Yu and scarring Yu Mai for his life! After getting beaten up that poor mer couldn't even get up from the bed and was suffering from a high fever, Yu Dong was hardly keeping Yu Mai's life by giving him medicine from her own world and instilling spiritual energy in his small body if not for her, Yu Mai would have lost whatever senses he had left completely!
There was no way they were going to forgive these people! No matter what!
