Chapter 562: Skimping on work
Old man Tang was stunned when he heard Yu Dong, he did not dare to say anything because he knew that unlike Shen Li and Ye Liu who still had some reservations when it came to conversing with their elders but that wasn't the case for Yu Dong, she didn't put anyone in her eyes.
Yu Dong didn't spare even a single glance at Old man Tang after that, she simply turned around and then spoke to village head Gu whose face was just as bad as hers. " Village head Gu, there is something that I need to talk to you about, please come with me."
There was a possibility that the stalker was lurking around the forest, in case she heard that Yu Dong has found her 'corpse stack,' who knows what she might do?
And then she turned to Shen Li and Ye Liu before saying, " You two take mammy Lin and then go back home. You are their saviours, not their servants, let them serve the porridge as they want."
Shen Li could see that Yu Dong was in a foul mood at the moment, he didn't want to test her patience so he nodded and then turned to look at Ye Liu. "Let's go, we should listen to what our wife is telling us."
" Okay," Ye Liu could also feel the difference in Yu Dong's mood, so he asked Mammy Lin to place the earthen jar on the ground and then turned to leave with her. As soon as the villagers saw that the two of them were leaving, their faces turned black, as women they were to be served by their mers but now their mers were with Yu Dong, strictly speaking, they should have been served by Yu Dong's husbands given that they were not used to even picking up a single bowl at their home.
" Yu Dong, don't be so harsh…" a villager couldn't help but say. " There is nothing wrong with your mers serving us some porridge right? After all, they are mers, it's their job——"
Yu Dong who was walking away with village head Gu stopped in her tracks and then turned around as she looked at the woman who have spoken.
" It would be the job of your mer but it's not the job of my husbands, I don't even allow them to serve me. Who do you think you are? Be glad that I am letting her bring you porridge to eat if you continue acting like this, I will simply stop sending the porridge altogether." Yu Dong immediately retorted. She wouldn't even ask Shen Li and Ye Liu to stand and serve her, they all ate together and she served her meal with her own hands, what gave anyone the right to depend on someone else? whether it was a woman or a man.
" Don't forget that right now you are not at home and we all are in big trouble, it's my husbands who don't want you all to starve to death and they were the ones who asked me to let you guys have a decent meal. That's the only reason why you are getting a meal, if not I am not kind enough to empty my rations when no one here knows how long the flood is going to last."
The woman who spoke immediately turned silent, her face flushed with shame as she lowered her head.
" Yu Dong, what are you talking about? It's just that we are afraid that some people will take the porridge indiscriminately that is the only reason why we were asking your mers to serve it nothing more." Another woman couldn't help but say as they looked at the earthen jar that was piping hot. They were worried that if they were to scoop the porridge out then they would have to burn their hands, how can they be willing to do that?
And if the mers left then they will have to wash the bowls they have used as well. They didn't find it dirty when they were eating but after eating, they couldn't bring themselves to wash the dirty dishes!
If Shen Li and Ye Liu stayed to serve them then at least they will be able to send the dishes to their husbands who would clean them for them.
" That's right, that's right …we are just worried that someone will hog all the porridge nothing more."
Yu Dong's expression turned cold, don't think that she couldn't see that these women were making all these excuses because they didn't want to work hard. After all, she was very aware of how the village women did not like the idea of working in the kitchen or anything related to it. They all looked down at the kitchen work and were long spoiled by their husbands who would serve them a warm meal and pick up their dirty dishes to clean.
She stared at the shameless villagers who were trying to dump the work on her husbands. She sneered at them, " Don't try to make a fool out of me all right? I never intended to save any of you. But thanks to my husbands who have a kind heart, you all managed to save your life, don't even think about making them serve you."
She has really treated them nicely, hasn't she? How dare they try to take advantage of her husbands like that? Do they think that she, Yu Dong was someone who cannot protect her husbands?
" If you hate scooping hot porridge from the jar and washing dishes, why don't I stop sending you all meals? You can go into the forest and hunt for wild animals, that way you can do the jobs that suits you the most by skinning and cleaning the animals, you don't have to wash your dishes and you wouldn't have to worry about burning yourself either."
" Yu Dong you——"
" That's enough," Village head Gu immediately put a stop to the antics of those women who were trying to muddle their way and save themselves from working. " We are already having enough trouble do you have to make things troublesome even more? Yu Dong is right. She has done whatever she could for us. If not for her, we all would still be stuck on the roof of the house. Stop making an unnecessary ruckus."
