1021 Yes I am arrogant so what?
" You dare!" Madam Yun raised her voice but Chen Mi wasn't scared he raised his hoe and then aimed it at Madam Yun's face before saying, " Why wouldn't I dare? You think that my family is dumb? We are not fools or saints, don't think that you can use my wife's position as a way to force us to hand you the manure as you wish! Forget about manure, we are not even going to allow you to take anything from our family! You better start digging wells in your house because I don't think you have the right to drink water from the well that Yu Dong paid for! Who knows if someone from your family falls sick, you will once again blame my wife for doing something to harm you."
Madam Yun's expression turned even more twisted, she indeed felt guilty over what happened back then but she refused to give up. There were more than three hundred families in the village and yet only a few were not allowed to take the manure, though not many have used it. After the incident with Peng Jing, they all knew that not only were the cattle raised by Yu Dong and her family spiritual but even the things that they gave out did wonders.
Though Peng Jing's vegetables were not good enough when compared to Yu Dong's they were bigger and much healthier than the ones that they grew, it was enough to let the villagers know that the fertilizers handed by the Yu family were indeed the best.
Madam Yun wanted to say something but Chen Mi did not give her a chance and interrupted her loudly, " Don't say that you did not mean it or that you were swayed by what Peng Jing said that evening. Everyone knows what kind of person my wife is, don't they?"
" She is smart and capable. She worked in our fields all alone and she was also the one who came up with the method of making oil from rice bran, from the beginning she did not ask for anyone to help her."
" Because of her hard work, the magistrate looks kindly upon our village. When it was snowing and you did not have enough to eat, it was her who donated the food to your family by selling it at a loss since she bought it at a high price herself."
Chen Mi's voice continued to rise as he passionately spoke, " She had done nothing wrong, if anything others have wronged her at every turn of her life. Clearly, she signed the deal with Madam Song to help everyone in the village but instead, she was questioned and blamed! Why? Do you think that without my wife, you can even get close to Madam Song?"
" You…you are being too arrogant!" Madam Yun felt her face being slapped by the mer in front of her and couldn't help but scold Chen Mi.
" I am going to be arrogant, so what?" Chen Mi sneered coldly. " Don't forget that I have the means to be arrogant! My wife and our family are no longer the same, even if I want to act haughty and raise my nose high up in the sky, my wife will lift the sky for me! What about you, can you do that?"
Even though he did not say it explicitly everyone knew that Chen Mi was telling them that his family's fortune had turned and now it was his family who was helping others not the other way around. He and his brothers were no longer begging in front of others anymore, if anyone dared to offend them then they would show how ruthless they could be.
" From now on whoever dares to talk bad about my wife or my family can stray clear from the things that are constructed in this village with the help of my wife, if you feel unjustified then you are free to take the matter to the magistrate!"
To be honest, Chen Mi had heard a lot of things about Yu Dong. From calling her gutless for listening to mers to calling her shameless and a woman without any respect for marrying Xiao Hua who once worked as a consort.
However, since neither of those people said those things in front of him, he would not make a move either but that did not mean that he would not give a warning to them either.
Chen Mi then stared at the woman who spoke badly of Yu Dong and said, " Take it as the last warning from our family, you have seen how hot the weather is right? Though you are not signed under our family, it will be inevitable for you all to not fetch water from the well, I will warn you here and now, don't push our family too much or else we will not care about your life and death either!"
Seeing that Chen Mi was standing up for Yu Dong and fighting with women, some of the women of the village found him too bold but they did not say anything as Chen Mi was backed up by Yu Dong.
However, Madam Yun couldn't stop herself from scolding Chen Mi as he was reprimanding her even though he was a mer. She put on a serious expression and shouted, " Where is your sense of decorum? How can you act like a lawless mer, sure enough, a mer like you needs a lesson by getting beaten up!"
Yu Dong whose heart was brimming with sweetness upon being protected by Chen Mi immediately swept her gaze at Madam Yun and then stepped forward before sharply speaking, " My mer did not say anything wrong, so why would he be taught a lesson? If anything he deserves reward for saying the correct thing."
"Yu Dong is back!" The women in the crowd gasped as they all looked at Madam Yun with smiles on their faces they all knew that Madam Yun and the rest of the women were going to get a wonderful lesson!
