Chapter 644: A freak
Li Li was clearly smart to know what was going on which was why Yu Dong could only shake her head at the stupidity of the villagers. As she was thinking about going back with the rice bran, she noticed another figure coming towards her. At first, she was surprised but then to her shock Pei Yuyan really came to stop in front of her with two sacks that were filled with rice bran and then said, " I will be leaving these two with you, by what you said that each kg will get half a tael right? I got more than ten kg of rice bran meaning you will give me five taels each month?"
Yu Dong was shocked when she saw Pei Yuyan handing the rice bran to Aunt Wang, she wanted to say something to the woman but the latter turned around and left with a sullen look on her face. When she was leaving, she even glared at Li Li and if her senses were not failing her, she heard Pei Yuyan calling Li Li stupid again.
But what surprised her, even more, was that after Pei Yuyan left, Li Li snorted and then said, " She is the stupid one! Walking around like that witch!"
" Take care of the rice bran, I will be right back," Yu Dong has heard Li Li call the killer of the mers a witch and now she was calling Pei Yuyan, a witch as well. She did not want to create trouble in such a situation but she needed to ask what was Pei Yuyan's stance when it came to the kidnapping and killing of mers which was why she immediately chased after the woman who was walking towards her home like she has wheels under her feet.
" Pei Yuyan! Wait a minute !" When Yu Dong saw that Pei Yuyan was going to enter her house, she immediately caught hold of her wrist and dragged her to the side. Maybe her sudden actions surprised Pei Yuyan but the latter did not say anything it was only when Yu Dong dragged her a bit further away from the village did the young woman let out an annoyed hiss and said, " What do you want?"
" I want to know what are you doing these days?" Yu Dong turned to look at Pei Yuyan who was frowning while looking at her before the latter tilted her head and smirked. " You want to ask me whether or not I am the one who killed those mers?"
Yu Dong was a bit surprised when she saw that Pei Yuyan jumped to the crux of the matter in one swift second but since she did not want to waste time either, she nodded and said, " That's right, the villagers say that you were a weird as a child, they even told me that you would break the heads of dolls of the mers and steal their clothes if we speak about it strictly you are the one who is more than suspicious."
Pei Yuyan scoffed as she turned to look away from Yu Dong, she rummaged in her pocket and then took out a long cigar stick and lit it with the flint that she carried with her all the time. Putting the cigar in her mouth, she took a deep swig and then said, " The villagers did tell you a lot of things but they forgot to tell you the most important thing, I never attacked anyone unless they attacked me first. I won't refuse that there is something wrong with me but that does not mean that I am cold blood killer."
She turned to look at Yu Dong who was standing in front of her with her arms crossed and calmly said, " I was just paying them back."
" Paying them back?" Yu Dong mused as she frowned and looked at Pei Yuyan who puffed out a cloud of smoke and nodded. " That's right."
" The mer from the Yang family, he called me an unlucky bastard who caused the death of her parents and the one from the Tao family? He said that I was ugly and deserved to be left alone. They all said a bunch of things about me, what was I supposed to do? Leave them alone?" She scoffed and then added, " They are lucky they were all too young or else I would have broken their teeth."
Yu Dong's head buzzed a little with all this information she looked at Pei Yuyan but she could not sense any abnormalities in the woman, from what her spiritual energy was telling her. Pei Yuyan was actually speaking the truth!
" But your sister said the same, are you going to say that your sister is in cahoots with the villagers?" Yu Dong remembered how Li Li has called Pei Yuyan a freak and cold-hearted woman.
Pei Yuyan stopped sucking on the cigar that she had in her mouth and her smirk widened even more as she remarked, " Of course she did, she has always hated me for getting adopted into another family when our parents died. She asked me to come with her but I refused, I did not want to take care of a sister whose head was not in the right place ..even my parents did not want to take care of her why do you think that she is living alone like that?"
" Li Li has always been lost in her own world, I don't want to take her responsibility when I can't even take mine." Pei Yuyan dropped the cigar on the ground and then squashed it with her feet as she cleared her throat and said, " She is so much of a fool that I can't be bothered by her… but anyways, if you succeed in taking the oil out of the rice bran, hand my share to her… she is so stupid, she will die if she goes on like this."
After speaking she turned around and walked away leaving a speechless Yu Dong behind. So, you want to take care of her but at the same time, you don't?
Yu Dong felt her head throb as she rubbed her forehead, Li Li was right! Her sister is a freak!
