Chapter 880: Fight who is sacred of who?!
The fighting spirit of the villagers was ignited the second they heard that they were being targeted and it only became worse when they looked at the thick snow which had accumulated around the mountains dumped on their entire village.
And the Yu house was actually covered in snow which was at least a hundred feet thick! Was this a joke? No, it wasn't! If they were not fortunate enough then they all would have been buried inside the snow and would have suffocated to death!
" You all what are you waiting for roll your sleeves and come with us, let's see who is daring enough to harm our village! We might have a small population but we are not going to be suppressed by others!" One of the village women shouted as she looked at the rest of the women who were hesitating inside the bunker.
Compared to other villages that had more than five hundred families, their village only had a puny sum of three hundred families which was why it was not surprising that someone dared to attack their village but just because they were small in number did not mean that they were easy to bully!
When the women called the villagers they all looked at their mer husbands and asked them to stay inside the bunker while they walked out. Their village was attacked, and they could not stay inside and hide like chickens even second Aunt Yu followed since she did not want to be called names by the rest of the villagers in case she stayed behind with the mers, the elderly and the paralyzed ones.
More importantly, she wanted to talk to Yu Tong about her actions just now. Even though Second Aunt Yu knew that Yu Tong acting so close to Li Hanjing could only mean one thing, she did not wish to accept it! After all, they were not some poor family that needed to improvise and bring a mer whose body had been defiled by another woman.
As she walked hurriedly out of the bunker, she glared at Li Hanjing in disgust. Second Aunt Yu firmly believed that it was Li Hanjing who shamelessly seduced her daughter and caused her to be bewitched with him, if not, there was no way her daughter would fall for a mer like him who was pregnant with a bastard.
" Who are you glaring at?" Xiao Hua glared right back at Second Aunt Yu when he saw that the woman was looking at Li Hanjing with an unfriendly gaze, though he understood what was going on in the head of that woman, he was still speechless.
Clearly, it was Yu Tong who was chasing after his brother Hanjing and she was the one who refused to give up even after getting rejected by Li Haning a thousand times already. Why was it that the woman was glaring at Li Hanjing instead of going after her daughter?
Second Aunt Yu wanted to say something rude but then stopped when she saw that the one who spoke was Xiao Hua. She knew that Yu Dong and Xiao Hua were soon to get married and with the position that Yu Dong was currently holding, even if Second Aunt Yu wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Hua, she did not dare to which was why she only snorted and turned to walk out of the bunker without looking at Xiao Hua or anyone else.
" All right, calm down," Li Hanjing pulled Xiao Hua back, he was afraid that Xiao Hua will run after Second Aunt Yu and fight with her which was why he held his wrist and pulled Xiao Hua back. " There is no need for you to get angry with her, she is right in one way or another."
Xiao Hua turned to look at Li Hanjing and then glared at him as he said, "What do you mean that she is in the right? It is her blessing that her daughter can even get close to someone like you! Has she not seen her face or her daughter's? Compared to the two of them, you are much more good-looking!"
Xiao Hua wasn't wrong either, compared to Yu Dong whose features were heroic and bold because she took after her mother, Yu Tong's features were pretty average since she also took after her mother who shared the same features as Old Man Tong.
With her upturned nose and thin lips, Yu Tong's looks could be considered average when compared to Li Hanjing's.
" Yes but unlike me who had a child with an unknown woman, Second Miss Yu is much cleaner," Li Hanjing sighed as he patted Xiao Hua on the back of his hand. "She clearly deserves better than a mer who has baggage with him." As he spoke he looked at his baby daughter, in fact, it would be a lie if he was to say that he was not moved by Yu Tong's serious pursuit, he was indeed charmed by her sweet words and care—— which was why, while everyone hoped that their child was a daughter, he hoped that his child was a mer.
That way, he could have married Yu Tong without any problem but now that the child in his belly turned out to be a daughter, he could only give up on his foolish dreams.
" You are thinking too much, Brother Hanjing," Xiao Zimo rolled his eyes as he patted the swaddled baby and then said, " Miss Tong is a person with her own mind, anyone with eyes can see that she does not disdain you or your daughter. More importantly, she has already separated from the Yu family, I don't think that her mother can change her thoughts which is why you should also stop questioning yourself and believe in Miss Tong."
" He is right, don't think about it so much," Shen Li who was sitting at the corner which was only a bit far away from where Li Hanjing and the rest of the mers were sleeping. " I trust my sister-in-law, if she is adamant on mating you her husband, she will do so."
When Li Hanjing heard Shen Li mention the word 'husband' his cheeks turned red as he blushed in embarrassment but before he could say anything more, a few women returned and their faces were filled with righteous indignation as they picked up a few logs of wood and cried in anger,
"It's the big stone village! They were the ones who caused this tragedy!"
" How unlucky that we have such neighbours!"
