Chapter 632: Someone else’s bullet
When Yu Dong heard that there might be a chance for them to scavenge the tools that were needed to extract oil from the foot of the hill, so she nodded and then said, " Then we will go and try to bring those tools back to the village, as long as I have the right tools I think I will be able to extract oil from the rice bran."
" You really think that you can extract oil from that husk?" Grandma Fang was very trusting of Yu Dong but she could not help but question Yu Dong when she heard her say that she was going to use rice husk to extract oil. " I mean you don't have to push yourself too much, even if the people in the town are not willing to sell us, I am sure that we can purchase the ration from the central market, it is far but it's better than getting yourself into unnecessary trouble."
Yu Dong was her grandson's wife, and as her elder, Grandma Fang thought that it was her responsibility to look after Yu Dong which was why she could not help but remind Yu Dong to not overstretch herself.
" Don't worry, grandma I know what I am doing," Yu Dong was not going to take this job unless she was hundred and ten percent sure that she will be able to do it.
Village head Gu on the other hand was very much relieved she knew that if Yu Dong was saying something with so much conviction then surely she was certain that she would succeed in it, which was why she nodded and said, " I am glad that you are willing to help the village by opening an oil mill."
" You are wrong, I am only doing this because I don't want the villagers to come looking for me when they end up getting starved, Yu Dong replied with a disgusted expression on her face as if she could not be bothered by the villagers.
Village head Gu did not take her words to heart, Yu Dong has always been spiteful and her words were sharp whenever she talked to anyone from the village but she knew that she had her heart in a good place.
" Very well then I will go and ask some of the strong women in the town to come and see you tomorrow, you can ask them to bring those tools in the shed that is inside the Mu family's house since they were the ones who caused us to harm then its only nice for their abandoned house to be used as a mill by us."
Village head Gu did not forget that this matter arouse because of the Mu family which was why she decided that instead of selling the house and then giving the benefit to Mu Yuxi's mother, she might as well take their house under control and use it for the benefit of the village. Of course, she could not be blamed for this, who asked them to cause harm to the village?
With that thought in her head Village head Gu got up from the chair she was sitting in and then left Yu Dong's house. Once she was gone, Ye Liu who was standing on the side turned to look at Yu Dong and asked, " Are you sure about this? Once you try to impact the earning of that woman, she will surely target you."
" She will target me sooner or later anyway," Yu Dong assured him as she recalled how the woman has been paying attention to her every move. " She knows that I am a threat which is why she has been going around the bush to bully me, you don't have to worry, I know what I am doing."
Since Yu Dong has already given her words, there was nothing anyone else could say about it, they left the matter as it was and started to prepare dinner while Yu Dong went out of the house. After staying in the house for so long while the flood was going on, Yu Dong started to feel stuffy which was why she developed a new habit and that was to go on small walks.
But more importantly, she would often go out of the house was ——-
A small flower hit her face as soon as she reached the foot of the mountain and she helplessly looked at Xiao Hua who was sitting on a boulder with a bunch of flowers in his hands he looked at her and said, " You are late."
Yu Dong helplessly looked at the man who was complaining to her and then said in a coaxing voice, " I am not late, I left my house on time but because I had to go around the mountain to make sure that no one was coming after me, I was slightly late."
She climbed up the small slope and then plopped next to Xiao Hua who was pouting slightly while dressed as seductively as possible, he even left half of his shoulder uncovered today showing off his bewitching collarbone.
" You are dressed to impress today," Yu Dong teased Xiao Hua as she snatched the flower from his hands and then swatted his cheek lightly with the beautiful wildflowers that he has collected when he was sitting alone waiting for her.
Xiao Hua rolled his eyes as he pushed the flowers hitting his cheeks aside and then said in a soft voice, " I am always dressed to be impressed it is not my fault that you only pay attention to me occasionally." He huffed before turning to look at Yu Dong who was lying on the grass and asked, " I heard that there was trouble in the town. Was there really a trouble in the town?"
" Hmm something along the lines, yes," Yu Dong nodded as she replied but then she caught Xiao Hua's weird expression and then asked, " What is it?"
The latter hesitated before pulling out another piece of a letter and said, " I received it this morning, the woman asked me to leave your house and start living in the town, saying she will come and buy me from there ….at the bottom she mentioned that if I did not agree then she will make a huge trouble for our village."
"I think she was the one who suggested ....the idea of not letting our villagers get any ration."
