Chapter 716: Tears that were not unleashed
Yu Dong rubbed her head---- Shen Li was right. Even though she wanted to keep little bun and Yu Mai with her, she was not in the condition to keep them here and with the gloomy atmosphere of the house, the kids will only get more and more agitated. Maybe it was better to send them to Aunt Wang's house which will keep them entertained enough to not feel sad any longer.
" You do that," she told Chen Mi and Ye Liu as she turned to walk out of the room. " I will go and take a breather myself."
She was so highly strung from the afternoon that she was almost on the verge of exploding. She wanted to kill Qiu Bai but what was the point of killing him? If she was to rip his heart out and stomp on it, will it bring her daughter back? The answer was no. There was no way, her daughter will come back which further led her to question what she was even doing, how could she mess up like this? She stayed so cautious with Fang Chi till the end but for what? The children whom she was protecting so much were still harmed in the end, were they not?
Right now she felt like a loser, a big fat one and on top of that she was taking her anger out on her husbands like a stupid idiot.
Chen Mi watched Yu Dong leave, he felt his heart ache when he saw his wife like this but he did not know how to soothe her. In fact, a part of him was upset that she trusted him so little, no matter what there was no way he will think that his wife was not capable enough to protect their kids and send little Bun to his mother's house.
" Don't be upset with her," he heard Shen Li speak as the latter came forward and stopped right in front of him. He watched his brother Li raise his hand and pat him on the head softly as he continued speaking, " There are times when even the wiser ones become foolish, she might be smarter than the rest but in the end, she is just a human., she is bound to make mistakes every once in a while, so don't be angry at her."
He then turned to look at Ye Liu and then took out a few copper coins and said, " You go with Lang and bring some buns and porridge for everyone to eat. Maybe taking a small walk will cheer you all up a little in such conditions, staying cooped in the house will not work."
Ye Liu took the copper coins that were handed to him by Shen Li and then said, " Should I bring you something as well?"
" You do that," Shen Li nodded as he patted Ye Liu on the head. " And make sure to not go too far in the town, with the current situation it is bound to be troublesome. Just buy the buns that are sold at the entrance and come back."
Even if the plague that Yu Dong spoke of did not break out yet, it was never too late to be cautious enough. Fortunately, the bun seller who sold buns at the entrance lived outside the town and only came to sell his buns in the town and she even kept everything in her stall clean and nice which was why Shen Li often brought buns from her stall in the past rather than from the one in the town.
" I will go and buy something from the restaurant of Madam Song, the bun owner only sits at the entrance in the morning and not at the night," remarked Ye Liu who remembered that the bun seller only sold buns in the morning and went back home by the evening.
" Then take the carriage," Shen Li frowned a little when he heard Ye Liu say that he was going inside the town, though he was not against it. He did not like the idea of sending the two of them to the town since he knew that his family might be there as well. He has heard from the villagers that the villages around them were infected by plague and drought after the flood and he was certain that his family even though they sold them would come looking for him, especially his mother and shameless sister, they might have used up the money that they earned after selling him but their skin was so thick that they will act all cosy with him if they were to find out that he now had money.
Ye Liu agreed, he was only going to the town with Chen Mi because he wanted to meet with Xiao Hua and tell him about what happened in the village or else that foolish mer will come smiling with that loud voice of his. Even though Yu Dong was in love with him, there was a certainty in his heart that told him that Yu Dong will chew anyone out if they were to break the tranquillity of the house at the moment which was why he better give Xiao Hua a heads up lest he was scolded by Yu Dong.
That pathetic little, weak mer did not look strong enough to stomach Yu Dong's scoldings.
" I will get Mai," Chen Mi said to Shen Li as he went to grab a baby bag for the little bun and bring Yu Mai out of the room, even if they were not in the mood to eat anything it was better to eat something lest they fell sick as well and added to the trouble.
Shen Li nodded as he helped Ye Liu and Chen Mi with the kids while sending Lang and her husband with Lang Hui to the town as well. As the carriage left for town, Shen Li waved them goodbye and then turned to look at the house as he heaved a breath and muttered, " Now let's go and deal with her."
