Chapter 270 I beg of you?
Yu Dong's voice wasn't small and everyone in the courtyard naturally heard her. After all, the Fang family's courtyard was only this big, even if it was filled with people and their boisterous laughter and giggling, Yu Dong's whose body was nurtured with spiritual water had a very strong vitality, even if she was speaking in a low voice people could still hear the unique timbre of her voice that was hard to miss, so how could they miss what, Yu Dong, just when she wasn't even whispering? All of them heard that Yu Dong stopped the groom from crossing the threshold! But why did she do that? Didn't she come here to take Fang Chi as her husband?
" Now, Now .. don't tell me that this was Yu Dong's plan? Back then when she was forcefully engaged to Fang Chi because of the village elders and the villagers' pressure, she must have been quite embarrassed. When you get right down to it, Fang Chi was literally stuffed in her house after he was abandoned as a used shoe. Wasn't he? What woman would like a mer who had a relationship with someone else yet she was the one who was forced to marry him? I think this was all a farce to humiliate the Fang family."
" I have already said that there was no way someone like Yu Dong would accept a marriage like this, being forced to marry a poor and overaged mer, so what if Fang Chi looks good now? Isn't it because Yu Dong gave him good food and clothes to wear? If she takes it all back wouldn't Fang Chi be back to his poor-looking self?"
" If what you are saying is true then Yu Dong is really cruel, if she didn't want to marry Fang Chi, she could have said it outright from the beginning why did she do all of this? Poor Fang Chi, now he will be abandoned once again and after this, there is no way he will be able to get married ever again. This Yu Dong, she is really evil!"
" Shh, what are you saying? How is the evil one? Don't you think that Fang Chi and Grandma Fang was the one who was dreaming too high? Even if Yu Dong agreed they should have tactfully refused after a few days. Who told them to be so thick-headed as to assume that Yu Dong will marry him? Pfft, as if. Now, look where their conceitedness brought them, humph, if you ask me they kind of deserve this, if Yu Dong married Fang Chi today, who knows what kind of lesson our kids would learn? Won't they think that as long as they jump in the river or sea, they can get married to the woman of their liking? It's good that Yu Dong thought of this way to teach them. I mean no matter how high a sparrow jumps in the end it remains a sparrow how can Fang Chi even think of marrying Yu Dong? Who is like the dragon among the village women?"
Grandma Fang could naturally hear what these mers were talking about and her expression turned dark. She knew that there was no shortage of people who likes to take advantage of the situation. These kinds of people had no morality and would roll to this way and that like potatoes the second they saw promising benefits, of course, all of them will be kicked out once she was done dealing with this matter. She hobbled over to Yu Dong who was looking colder than an iceberg and intercepted her just as she stretched out her hand to take off Fang Chi's veil, " Yu Dong, no matter what happened- don't you think you should be giving an explanation to us? How can you do something like stopping the ceremony midway?"
Although Grandma Fang wanted to ask whether or not what those mers said was right she didn't dare to, she just wished that everything was just a big misunderstanding and nothing more. But since she has always been coarse mouthed and didn't know how to say flowery words, it seemed as if she was questioning Yu Dong quite rudely. Grandma Fang didn't care how she looked in the eyes of others because for the sake of her grandson she was willing to fight even the king of Yama- compared to the King of Hell who was Yu Dong? If she tried to trouble her grandson then she would die fighting with Yu Dong!
However before she could spout all the rough curses that were riding up in her throat, a gentle tug on her sleeves stopped her. Grandma Fang looked behind her and all her anger that was blowing up like a balloon suddenly deflated as someone has just punctured it. That's right, she couldn't just fight with Yu Dong willy nilly, ultimately this was the matter related to her grandson's entire future, how can she do something silly as this? Thus, even though her heart was reluctant, Grandma Fang bit her lip and softened her tone and spoke with a humble voice, " Yu Dong, I know you might be unhappy with how this marriage came to take place, but at least for my old face- let Chi'er cross the threshold, just… just think of this as fulfilling the wish of this old woman."
No one has ever seen Grandma Fang beg, the old woman has been the Iron Lady of her time, she ruled her family with an iron fist and touched new heights as the heir of the Fang family. Even when she was kicked out by her unfilial daughters and granddaughters, she still didn't bow her old back and still fought resolutely with her family, yet now that Grandma Fang was actually using such humble words?
But then again this was the matter of her grandson's future, if she didn't bow her head…then Fang Chi's future would be ruined! And the only option left for Fang Chi would be to jump in the river and die!
Everyone was in a daze but even though they were dazed they all had the same thought running in their heads- Yu Dong was just too cruel!
