Chapter 754 BBQ party
Yu Dong was stunned when she heard Uncle Fu's praise since she knew that this man hardly ever praised anyone much less someone like her who had been acting recklessly in the past. With Aunt Wang, getting praised was something that she was used to but Uncle Fu's praise was something that only happened once in a very rare moment which was why Yu Dong basked in the glory of getting praised by him.
But then Wu Junfen who was standing behind opened her mouth and then said, " Do not praise her so much, Uncle Fu. I am afraid that her head will become even bigger."
Though she said that, she still walked forward and took Yu Dong who was just released by Uncle Fu into her arms as she heavily patted her on the back as well.
" You really have done us proud, now that you are the owner of this village...I am certain that there are only good days in front of us," Wu Junfen meant every word that she told Yu Dong while praising her, she died before Yu Dong could awaken and she was very much aware of her son who due to all the pampering that he received from her husband was a man who was selfish to his core and he married a woman who was the same as him. She did not even have to question Yu Dong just how much she suffered under the two of them who should have never given birth to a child.
She did not get a chance to praise Yu Dong when she was in her previous world which was why she was making it up by praising her granddaughter in this world.
" Thank you," Yu Dong's voice was slightly hoarse as she hugged her grandmother, truth be told even though her grandmother was childish and bad-tempered, she was the one who cared for her the most. When she was alive, she would bring her brothers to her small house that had a lot of things with which they could play and cooked good food for them, unlike her parents who only remembered to fill the refrigerator with groceries and left her to fend after herself and her brothers who were so young that they could not even speak.
When her grandmother was alive, she would call her parents to hold a family dinner every weekday but then she died and her parent's last bounds were broken as well. They stopped coming home in their greed of being recognised as the best researchers who found the cure for the zombie virus leaving her all alone.
She had to take care of her young brothers while taking care of her job but never once they praised her, and in case their neighbours complained about the young boys crying they will blame her for not taking good care of her brothers.
So it could be said that she was hardly ever praised when she was doing her best.
Wu Junfen smiled as she patted her granddaughter one last time before pulling away then she looked at the seafood that they all brought with them and rubbed her fingers excitedly, " I heard that there will be a seafood barbecue. I hope you do not mind us staying?"
" Of course not," Yu Dong was in a rare happy mood after the loss of her child, it was as if she was given a completely empty playground where she could play as she wanted and how she wanted, she not only invited Wu Junfen and her husband, Yue Hua but she also invited Elder Wu and her husbands from the Wu house.
"What's going on?" Elder Wu was surprised when she saw the young Yu Mai standing outside her house while swallowing his saliva. She turned to look at her husbands who were peeling off some yam that they found at the foot of the mountains and then turned to look at the young Yu Mai while her brows started to knit.
Her gaze fell on the rather round Yu Mai and she hesitated whether to invite the young boy in to eat some yam porridge or tell the boy to go around and make a round around their house to burn some fat.
" Sister Dong called you and uncles to eat something really delicious! The smell is great and Mai wanted to eat but sister sent me here!" Yu Mai who was dying to have a taste of the delicious seafood barbecue turned on his heels and ran away after he was done extending the invitation.
Elder Wu was stunned as she turned to look at her husbands and asked in surprise, " Did that brat just invite us to dinner at his home?"
" it did sound like that," replied her first husband who was already wiping his hands on a rag after washing his hands.
Seeing him wash his hands, Elder Wu was stunned even more as she asked," Are you going to the Yu house?"
" Or else?" The first husband was called Xiao He, he looked at his wife and then said with a calm face, " Yu Dong is no longer the same woman as she was before, she is now the owner of this place, wife. It will be simply foolish of us if we were to ignore her invitation for dinner at her home."
" Brother He is right," said the second husband's surname Qi. He brushed his hair which was tangled in a messy bun and then tied it in a long ponytail. " We can't simply ignore the invitation of the landlady can we now?"
" And I heard that the food that Yu Dong cooks is great," said the third husband Heng. He foolishly blinked his eyes and then smiled at his wife, " I heard that the crab that she caught sells for at least ten to twenty gold taels, many people are trying to recreate her recipe but cannot ...we are getting a chance to eat it for free, do you still want to ignore the invitation wife?"
" Who said that?" When Elder Wu heard that she was going to get a delicacy she immediately sat up straight and then jumped off the couch. " Hurry go and bring my coat, if we arrive late then that glutton Junfen will eat everything!"
