Chapter 794: A jinx .
" Doctor Gu, is everything okay?" Village head Gu's elder daughter asked Doctor Gu, she was left behind by her mother to keep an eye on the things at the Old Hu house thus, she had been standing outside keeping guard making sure that the villagers who wanted to enjoy the excitement were all standing behind her and no one was taking a step close to the house of the Hu family.
Doctor Gu's face was really ugly at the moment, she could not believe that there were such careless villagers in her village even though Yu Dong had repeatedly told them how important it was for them to keep a distance from the infected people, especially the villagers from the Big Stone Village, the husbands of the Old Madam Hu still went ahead and did their own thing!
How can there be such people in their village? They did not care about their lives but at least they needed to care about the lives of the villagers right?
" What should I say? They are truly! I don't know how to say this, they really have no regard for themselves and they have no regard for the villages either, they did not say a word when I asked them how they caught the flu but do they think that everyone in the village is a fool?" Doctor Gu was very dissatisfied and disappointed with the husbands of the Hu family, she asked them again and again, how they caught the flu but they acted as if they could not understand what she was asking.
What was more this was not just about catching the flu, if they gave rations to their sons then the people in the Big Stone village will think that they have a lot of dry grains and would come knocking on their doors! It's fine if they wanted to help their sons but why did they have to cause trouble for the entire village?
The more Doctor Gu thought about it the angrier she became, first those two mers hid the fact that they caught the flu but now they were hiding the fact that they sent help to their sons. Were they the only ones who had sons in the Big Stone Village? Many others had their mer sons married into the big stone village, if they were to find out what the husbands of the Old Madam Hu did, what will they learn?
Just as she was going to say something more, she heard the sound of footsteps, Village head Gu who went to Yu Dong's house had returned, she was sweating slightly as she wiped her forehead and then looked at Doctor Gu and the rest who were standing outside the house of the Old Hu family, when they saw that Village head Gu had returned they all looked at her waiting for her to say what Yu Dong told her.
The villagers obviously knew that Yu Dong was currently busy with the arrival of the newborn and thus they were not surprised when they saw that Yu Dong did not come with Village Head Gu.
" Yu Dong asked me to have you all bring Old Madam Hu and her husbands to the shack which was built outside the village, she had gone to arrange some other things because she said that the Big stone village will try to attack our village tonight," Village Head Gu was not doubtful about this matter either, she knew that the Big Stone Village was having trouble, they did not even have enough grains to eat but Old Madam Hu's husbands sent their dried grains with their sons, most probably the other villagers in the Big Stone Village will think that they had too many grains stored with them and would try to steal it.
Though they indeed had too many grains but that was all bought by them with their hard-earned money, why will they share it with others? Whoever wanted to share can get eight miles lost from the village.
When the villagers heard that the people from the Big Stone Village might attack them, their expressions turned grim.
" What were thinking? It is fine if they wanted to invite trouble for themselves but why did they have to invite those human-eating monsters to our village?" One of the villagers spoke in a slightly upset voice.
" That's right, they are all so ruthless. Who knows what kind of thoughts they might be having at this moment?" Another woman spoke as she rubbed her arms.
" I have so many young kids in my house, what am I supposed to do?"
" They have crossed the lines!"
The villagers were riled up but they were stopped by Village Head Gu who raised her hand and said, " I know that you are angry with Old Hu's husbands but do not forget that Old Hu has been nothing but helpful to the people around her. For now, keep your anger suppressed as for everything else leave it to Old Hu, when she gets better she will deal with her husbands how she wants to but take Old Hu to the shack."
Many village women grumbled but in the end agreed, after all, Old Madam Hu had indeed helped them in the past they did not want to be called white-eyed wolves.
While the women were working to take Old Madam Hu away, Old Master Tong who came to enjoy the show popped a handful of melon seeds inside his mouth and then munched on it before he carelessly muttered, " My, that child of Yu Dong only just arrived and the village is already troubled, sure enough, that Fang surnamed had given birth to a jinx."
Old Master Tong wanted to stir the pot very much, even though he was staying quiet these days but because of how he treated Yu Dong in the past many families were now ignoring him like he was some sort of disease, which was why even though he did not wish to entangle with Yu Dong, he still wished that she would live a life which was not better than his own.
