Chapter 949: I don't want to marry!
" What? Why should my daughter marry that old mer?" The second Yu Dong spoke up, Lin Tianhui's mother yelped in surprise. She did not think that the fire would burn them too and that too so fiercely! Old Master Tong was as old as her, how can she allow such an old mer to marry her daughter!?
What's more, he even had a daughter who was older than her own, how will people look at them if her daughter married a mer whose age was closer to that of her own mother and that too with a daughter who was older than her stepmother!
Yu Dong shrugged and then stated calmly, " Did you not hear Madam Lin? Not only did your daughter impregnate Old Master Tong but she also egged Old Master Tong to go ahead and put the blame on my grandmother, we are lucky that my biological grandfather could not withstand this unfairness and came looking for Old Master Tong! It must have happened because he couldn't watch act up without repenting but that does not change the fact that your daughter was also an accomplice in his actions! If Old Master Tong is the commencer then your daughter is the instigator, should she not pay for her actions?"
She paused for a second and then continued speaking, " Whats more, Old Madam Lin? This child belongs to your family, even if your daughter refuses to acknowledge it, it doesn't change anything. Since Old Master Tong slept with her, it means that it was your daughter who caused him to get pregnant. Since he dared to do the deed then she will have to pay for her actions by taking responsibility and if she refuses then I will have to take her to the yamen for causing trouble and acting against the morals of the society. Don't forget that I am also the owner of this village, if someone does anything to disrupt the peace of this village then I have the power to punish them."
" Your daughter slept with a mer who was married and even dared to push the mer on someone else's head just because she refused to take responsibility for her own child. Think carefully about what kind of punishment she has to suffer for having an affair with a married mer. Even if she is not executed, her punishment would not be light either."
Yu Dong Looked at Old Madam Lin and her husband with a stern look in her eyes behind her, Village head Gu also stepped forward and then said in a cold voice, " She is right, Old Lin. Don't forget that your daughter slept with a married mer even if we were to ignore the fact that she slept with Old Madam Yu's ex-husband… we cannot ignore her actions of having an affair with a married mer. If we allow her to escape without taking responsibility then what will happen to this village? All the unmarried women will think that it's all right for them to sleep with married mer as they wouldn't have to take responsibility! That will not only cause chaos but even a serious disruption! What if unmarried women start forcing married mers? Who is going to take responsibility then?"
Old Madam Lin was speechless she looked at Yu Dong and Village head Gu before turning around and slapping her daughter on the face so hard that Lin Tianhui fell on the ground.
A corner of her mouth bleeding as she clutched the side of her face with a shocked look on her face.
"Mother——"
" Don't call me mother! How many times I have told you to stay put? How can you not listen to me? Your mother? Was I telling you anything that would harm you? Are you happy now? Our entire family has become a joke now!" Old Madam Lin also knew that now that the matter was out, they couldn't hide the fact that Lin Tianhui's child was in Old Master Tong's womb. She covered her face and sat down while crying and slapping herself," It is my fault if I had taught you well then this would not happen!"
" No, it is my fault !" Old Master Lin sobbed as he hugged his wife and cried along with her. " I was the one who pampered our daughter causing her to turn into this beast! Now we have to suffer the karma! Our family is going to be humiliated in front of the world!"
Both Old Madam Lin and her husband cried with earth-shattering sobs but no one stopped them nor did anyone reach out to help them. What Yu Dong and Village head Gu said was indeed right. If they left Lin Tianhui alone then what will happen to their village? Wouldn't they just be giving unmarried women the right to sleep with their husbands?
Who will be willing to carry this green hat?
While one-half of the women were worried about keeping their husbands away from Lin Tianhui, the other half who lived next to the Lin family were worried about whether or not Lin Tianhui slept with their mer husbands.
Looks like they needed to go back and then interrogate their husbands strictly!
Lin Tianhui looked at her parents who were crying and then turned to look at the villagers who were looking at her contemptuously. Her heart suddenly turned cold and she turned to look at Yu Dong, a part of her wanted to plead for herself but she knew that Yu Dong was not going to listen which was why she did not say anything.
Instead, she turned her attention to Old Master Tong and her eyes blazed with anger. This … everything was happening because of this mer! If he had stayed quiet then nothing like this would have happened! It was all because of this mer that her parents were crying and her marriage was facing danger!
She was not going to forgive Old Master Tong!
" Is that so? Are you all going to make that mer marry me because he is carrying my child? Fine! If that child is not in his womb, then I wouldn't have to take responsibility right?" As Lin Tianhui spoke she scrambled to her feet and then rushed to Old Master Tong.
----------------
Everyone gasped when they saw Lin Tianhui rush towards Old Master Tong, Yu Dong's eyes flashed but she did not stop Lin Tianhui from pushing Old Master Tong instead she cushioned Old Master Tong's fall to make sure that there was no harm done to him.
" Ouch! My stomach! It hurts! Someone help me, if this child dies then I will be killed as well! The physician said that I cannot miscarry !" Old Master Tong loved his life more than anything but just now he was too startled by the sudden move of Lin Tianhui and thus did not know how to stop her. He could only fall on the ground helplessly as a sharp pain shot through his body.
Yu Dong looked at the onlookers and then said, " Go and bring him to Doctor Gu and have her take a look. Tell her about Old Master Tong's situation, I am sure that she will take good care of him."
She then turned to look at Lin Tianhui who was restrained by the women after they snapped out of their daze and ordered, " Bring Miss Lin to her house, if everything stays all right she will be marrying Old Master Tong tomorrow." Her eyes flashed with a thrill as she added, " And everyone saw what happened just now right? If Old Master Tong loses his child then I will bring Lin Tianhui to the yamen myself! I hope no one will stop me as we cannot allow a murderer who is ruthless enough to kill a mer and an unborn child to stay in this village."
To think that Lin Tianhui would go looking for death on her own, she didn't even do anything!
" Don't worry, Miss Yu," Though Old Madam Lin wished that everything was a bad dream, she knew that this was her family's reality and they will have to live with it from now on. " I will keep an eye on my daughter."
When Yu Dong saw that Old Madam Lin looked restless and tired as if she had grown several years older, she added, " Don't worry, Old Miss Lin. Since you are also a victim, I will not make you suffer without any reason… from now on the lands under Old Master Tong's name will belong to your family."
Though Lin Tianhui was good for nothing, her parents were good. At least they were more hardworking than Old Master Tong, as long as they had the fields which were under Old Master Tong's name they will work hard and grow something on it, unlike Old Master Tong who grew nothing on those lands leaving it all alone.
Yu Zhang's eyes widened and she was about to say something but was stopped by Yu Dong whose eyes flashed and she added, " If someone had something against this decision of mine then they can take me to the yamen. I am willing to fight against them in the court!"
Immediately, Yu Zhang deflated like a balloon. There was no way she could allow this matter to be taken to court!
