Chapter 618: Who is this little girl?
" That's enough, if brother Ning gets badly wounded then we won't be able to get more porridge, wife!" Shi Xi was scared but he could no longer stay silent when he saw that his wife was beating Ning Yu like he was a sack of potatoes, he was afraid that Ning Yu will be beaten to death, and he knew that his brother was too stubborn and even if he was beaten to death, he would not let out a word of pain which was why he decided to put a stop to this brutality.
He also knew that his wife would not listen to him if he was to tell her to stop for the sake of not killing Ning Yu which was why he used the fact that he wanted her to stop for the sake of the extra food they were getting because of Ning Yu, because he knew that in the eyes of his wife, compared to the meal she got every day they were worthless.
And sure enough, as soon as Mother Shen heard that her meals will be affected if she was to kill Ning Yu to death, she stopped hitting him and spat on the ground. " You better be grateful that you still have some use, or else I would have buried you here with that little brat of yours!"
After she was done cursing Ning Yu, she turned to look at Shen Hanxing who did not say anything despite watching her daddy getting beaten and asked, " Are you sure that it was Yu Dong and no one else? How can that woman who only knew how to get drunk and tease unmarried mers get rich like this all of a sudden?"
Shen Hanxing did not comment a thing on how her mother has beaten her father, after all in her eyes her father was nothing but a good-for-nothing mer who couldn't even give birth to a daughter after her and calmly replied, " How am I supposed to know that? But I am sure that the woman was none other than Yu Dong, that woman was the one who made us come back to our village in nothing but our undergarments. Do you think I will forget that woman like ever in my life?"
As she remembered how she was made fun of by the rest of the village when she returned in her undergarments, she still blushed in shame.
" And that's not all, I even saw her buying ration for that woman, what was her name? Yes, Aunt Wang. The one who talked back to you when we went to ask for money from Yu Dong's mother. That aunt Wang is not even Shen Li's family and yet he is not stopping his wife from wasting their family's money on outsiders like Aunt Wang!"
" Strictly speaking we are still his family since we never broke off our relationship with him and Yu Dong's too since she married Shen Li but instead of sending help to us who are her family, she went ahead and then sent help to someone who is not even her family, what should we do about this!" This was what made Shen Hanxing upset, she wanted to have a share in the wealth that Shen Li was enjoying as well.
She was his eldest sister and thus can be counted as his elder, why was it that he never sent a single gift to her? She was his sister for goodness sake! Even if he did not respect her the least he could do was to hand a few hundred taels to their family such that they would be able to relocate themselves.
Shen Hanxing was not that smart but she has seen carriages similar to Yu Dong in the town and knew that they almost cost a hundred taels combined with the healthy horse that was tied in front of the carriage, there was even a servant who was driving the carriage! Just how rich her family has to be for her to afford not only a carriage but also a servant!
" That damned bastard after staying out of the house for such a long time, he seemed to have forgotten that his surname is still Shen and not Wang, how could he not care about us? We are his freaking family! No, this won't do… I will go and see him tomorrow, in fact, I will go and see him as soon as I can, if he can eat and sleep well then surely he can support our family as well in these difficult times." As for whether she will let go of Shen Li after the disaster was over, Mother Shen was very much aware of the fact herself.
Ning Yu who was on the ground heard his wife's words and fell into despair all his hard work over the years seemed to be spiralling out of control!
….
Yu Dong did not know that trouble was heading her way, she simply walked over to where her carriage was parked and then asked Lang to carry the things inside the carriage and keep them inside carefully. The ration that she brought with her was going to help her family in the long run even though she had enough food in her space, there was nothing wrong with her buying a little more who knows, maybe she will need extra food to feed another mouth?
As she thought about Fang Chi getting closer to his due date, her lips curled into a vibrant smile. When little bun was born, she was in too much hurry and couldn't even enjoy the joy of becoming a mother but this time she will surely relish every second of becoming a mother ——-
" What is this!?" Yu Dong was still lost in her thoughts of seeing her chubby baby when she heard Lang gasp and turned to look at the woman who was standing in front of the carriage door with a shocked look on her face. Seeing her act like this Yu Dong frowned as well, she walked over to where Lang was and peeked inside the carriage only to see a young girl with delicate features unconscious inside the carriage.
From her flushed cheeks and many injuries on her body it was clear that she was running a high fever.
That however did not concern Yu Dong, what concerned her was why was this little girl inside her carriage.
