Chapter 468: Preparations
When Yu Mai came to a stand next to her, Yu Dong pulled him close and said in a low voice, "Mai, I will give you a very important job, okay? Make sure that you do it well, all right?"
" I will not make a mistake,' said Yu Mai as he saluted Yu Dong while puffing his chest out, he might be called a silly fool but he was not as stupid as others thought he was, he will make sure to do the job right. " You can trust me, sister."
"All right, I will trust you then," said Yu Dong as she leaned down and whispered in Yu Mai's ear.
" I need you to go to the Wang house and bring Uncle Fu to our house as soon as you can, tell him that I have something important to say to him, if he is busy keep pestering him until he drops everything and agrees to come with you all right? But remember don't say a word about the flood to him okay? Just bring him to our house."
"Aye, Aye sister!" Yu Mai immediately agreed as he rushed to the front door, taking out his shoes from the cabinet next to the entrance door, he instantly put them on before rushing out of the house, he was in such a hurry that he almost stumbled.
Fang Chi watched him rush out of the house and then turned to Yu Dong before asking, "You don't want the villagers to Imow about the storm?"
"It's not that I don't want them to know," answered Yu Dong as she crossed her arms in front. "
I have no problem letting them know but you know how they are, if I go and tell them about the storm then they will not believe a thing about it, instead all of them will make things difficult for us. I know what they are going to do then why should I bother with them at the moment when I am not prepared? Shouldn't I arrange things for our family first? After I am done organising things for us then I will tell about the storm to Village head Gu," she paused and then jerked her head slightly.
" But I don't think it's going to change anything, they are a bunch of troublemakers, I am sure that they will act in the way I am expecting them to."
" Then what will you do?" asked Fang Chi.
" What else?" Leaning on her chair, Yu Dong calmly sighed.
" I will cross that bridge when the times come."
Uncle Fu was feeding his youngest daughter, Wang Yue porridge when Yu Mai barged into his house, since the two families were good friends Uncle Fu hasn't stopped Yu Mai from coming in and out of their house after all his daughter was arranged to study in the academy with the help of Yu Dong back then his daughter needed a total of ten taels of silver to pay as her fees for the academy but they only had eight taels, it was Yu Doug who helped them with the money.
Ever since then the small bit of reluctance that Uncle Fu had towards her family was completely wiped out, seeing that Yu Mai came running towards him, Uncle Fu smiled gently and said, "Mai, you are here? Why don't you come and sit down? I cooked some braised pork today for lunch, I will bring some for
Yu Mai gulped upon hearing that there was braised pork to eat but then he thought about what his sister said and immediately shook his head.
"It's all right, Uncle Fu. I came here because my sister asked me to call you to our house, she said that it was urgent."
Uncle Fu was slightly surprised upon hearing that Yu Dong has called for him urgently but he couldn't just leave his daughter hungry, could he? So, he smiled and said, " Mai, you can go back home ... you see, uncle is still feeding little Yue porridge, it will take some time for me to finish here."
" Its all right," Yu Mai took a seat on the stool at the corner of the room and turned his face to look at Uncle Fu as he said, " Sister said that it was important, so I have no choice but to wait for Uncle Fu to finish feeding sister Yue and then take you to my sister."
After he was finished speaking, he started to look at Uncle Fu with an unblinking stare as if he was worried that Uncle Fu would run away if he were to blink his eyes.
Uncle Fin "..." do you think I am that sort of person?
Though Uncle Fu was a bit uncomfortable he knew that Yu Mai was his sister's tail, if Yu Dong was to ask him to go and dig up the ocean the little guy would actually pick up a shovel and start digging the ocean. In the end, even if Uncle Fu was a bit startled and troubled by the sudden actions of Yu Mai but he didn't say anything.
He knew that if Yu Dong asked him to come over urgently there must be something important that she wanted to say to him, in the end under the eagle-like stare of Yu Mai he finished feeding his daughter then he hurriedly burped her before laying her down to sleep and then left his sons to take care of their sister before rushing to Yu Dong's house.
" Dong Dong, what's going on, Mai said that you have something important to say," said Uncle Fu as soon as he strode inside the Yu house but when he sense the tense atmosphere inside he immediately felt that the matter was indeed really serious. "
What happened?" He directed this question to Zhu Qian who shook his head telling him that he too had no idea why was he called all of a sudden.
Uncle Fu turned to look at Yu Dong. " What's going on Dong Dung? Why are you looking like that?"
Yu Dong motioned for them to take a seat, the two mers exchanged a look with each other before they sat down on the cushioned sofa.
" Now, what I am going to tell you ... don't tell anyone else yet," she said solemnly and only continued when the two nodded.
" There is going to be a flood."
