Chapter 810: Extra chapter
" Yes, Yes we understand!" Tan Mo was grateful when she heard the words of Yu Dong at the same time, her eyes could not help but turn red when she was living in the Big Stone Village, she knew it in her heart just how many times she had helped her neighbours, if not for her helping them out, their children would have died one after another and ended up in the belly of someone evil.
For the sake of those children and under the teary eyes of her neighbours with whom she grew up, she gritted her teeth and took out the grains from her house, even going as far as fighting with Hu Bing who tried to stop her, back then what did she say to Hu Bing?
' Bing Bing, you do not understand. A neighbour is more closer than a relative and one should try their best to maintain the relationship with their neighbours.'
Back then she did not listen to her husband and did her own thing believing that the result of kindness was always kindness as well, but when her Tan Yi fell sick, the same neighbours who came teary-eyed to her house and never returned empty-handed, rolled their eyes at her, calling her names and asking her to not act like a beggar.
As she remembered the time when she was asking for help from those people whom she had helped, Tan Mo could not help but remember one such incident where she was dumped with cold and dirty water by the woman whom she had helped again and again, even though she was stunned by the turn of events she still remembered what that woman said to her,
' Tan Mo! Oh, Tan Mo! Are you trying to make things difficult for me? You gave me grains because you wanted to and had enough but my family does not, just because you helped me, I should take the life-saving grains from my house to help your daughter? Why should I? If she is sick, it's better to leave her to die right? Let her die and you can give birth to a stronger daughter, why are you asking me to repay the debt when you know that I cannot? Isn't that you trying to make things difficult for me?'
Tan Yi was her oldest daughter, and she had watched her grow up, of course, she could not watch her die! But that woman, she asked her to watch her daughter die right in front of her, if that was the case why did she come to beg her?
Thus, instead of kindness which had hidden intentions, Tan Mo would rather like kindness which comes with clear terms. Because she seemed to have realised that kindness does not always result in kindness.
" I will return every single bit of money once I recover!" Tan Mo promised as Yu Dong nodded and looked at the kids who were following the two women and their mers, not only were they malnourished they were exceptionally dirty as well. Their hair was tangled and there was dust and black marks all over their faces. Their fingernails were also dark with dirt underneath them.
Yu Dong felt her head throb, she hated when kids looked like dogs who had rolled in mud and felt a headache coming as she cleared her throat and said in a slightly hoarse voice, " And bring your kids to a bath, looks at their condition, if they continue to stay like this…they will get an upset stomach as well as many other diseases."
When Tan Mo and Xiao Yu heard this they flushed in shame, they could see the clean and healthy kids who were running around in the Big River Village under Yu Dong's clear policy of no mer and mer child will be left unattended and starved, the women in the village no longer dared to starve their mer sons, a few of them were rather upset with Yu Dong regarding this policy but when they thought of the contract which Yu Dong had given them and the benefits which came from it, they stuffed up their complaints and agreed to listen to her.
Thus, hardly any child could be seen as if he or she was suffering from jaundice or malnourishment.
If there was no comparison there will be no harm but when there was comparison —— Tan Mo and Xiao Yu looked at their children who were sick along with looking like they only had skin covering their bones and were so embarrassed that they wished they could go ahead and dig a hole to die.
Just as they were thinking about it, Lang who received the word from Yu Dong returned with a sack of rice and handed it to Old Master Hu who took it and bowed to Yu Dong and Lang, he dared to flare up in front of his wife but he was beyond scared when it came to Yu Dong who was like a force which cannot be stopped.
Once Yu Dong was done, she turned to leave with Lang while Old Madam Hu brought her daughters-in-law to the shack which was closer to theirs, and just as they were approaching the shacks, they heard someone scream.
" God, why don't you kill me! This is so unfair! They turn a blind eye to the suffering of us mother and daughter, why don't you strike them to death? Kill them all!"
The voice was so annoying and screechy that Tan Mo and Xiao Yu who was behind Old Madam Hu could not help but frown in confusion and a bit of annoyance while Old Master Hu scoffed and said, " She truly knows how to cry, maybe she should try to ascend to heavens next time. Everyone here is satisfied with a single dish of meat once in a while but she wants to eat meat every day, those who did not know who she was, they will think that she is Yu Dong's mother-in-law! How disgusting!"
