Chapter 950: Someone returned
Once the matter was fixed no matter how much Lin Tianhui and Old Master Tong wailed they were still married off to each other while half of the properties under Old Master Tong that he snatched from Old Madam Yu were directly written off to a child who was yet to be born. This way Yu Dong made sure that they will not treat the child harshly lest they wanted to get kicked out of their house.
The next morning as Yu Dong expected Old Master Tong was married to Lin Tianhui, their screams which were filled with mourning echoed in the entire village. If not for the red clothes worn by the villagers one would have thought that they were holding a funeral march.
" They are really making a ruckus," Chen Mi watched the wedding procession from the inside of the house and looked at Old Master Tong who was still trying to get out of the sedan. " If they were this upset with each other why did they even sleep together? If neither of them rolled on the bed, then they would not have to suffer like this."
Yu Dong was looking down at the boxes of vegetables that she had packed for her three mer uncles and then replied, " Because they were foolish enough to act first and think later. They wanted to have fun but did not wish to take responsibility… at least Lin Tianhui did not wish to take responsibility and Old Master Tong knows that, he also knows that if he was to marry her then she will only mistreat him even more as the child is protected by me."
" Sigh, that poor kid," Fang Chi burped his son as he patted Bobo gently on the back and remarked, " Even if they treat him or her well, I don't think that the child will be loved if anything Lin Tianhui will only look at the child as a baggage."
" There is nothing that we can do about that," Ye Liu remarked as he finished writing the new year greeting card and placed it on top of the vegetables inside the box before tying it up. " That child is unfortunate enough to have such parents and an elder sister, what can we do? It's already enough that we have prepared for his or her future by handing the child half of the Yu properties that should have belonged to Yu Dong."
Even now he was quite upset regarding the fact that they had to hand the properties to the child who had nothing to do with them.
"It is better to avoid future conflicts instead of letting them fester and explode," explained Shen Li with a quiet voice as he picked up a tomato and then bit into it, ever since he got pregnant he liked eating sour vegetables a lot more than he did in the past. " If Dong Dong did not give up her shares of properties and something happened to that child, she would have been the one who would be criticized and cruel since she was the one who asked Old Master Tong and Lin Tianhui to marry each other."
" With how Second Aunt is, she would have never handed her properties to that child instead she would have fought with Yu Dong. In this fiasco, if something was to happen to that child, the villagers would have condemned Dong Dong as well along with those two but now that those properties which should have gone to Dong Dong were handed to the child even if something happens to him, it will be blamed on the Lin family and Old Master Tong. Our family wouldn't have to do anything with it."
" As expected you are still the smartest," Yu Dong praised Shen Li as she rubbed his head. Being praised by his wife, Shen Li was more than satisfied as he purred against her hand which was rubbing his head.
Seeing this Ye Liu and the rest had a sour taste in their mouths. We are smart as well but we just don't wish to see the money which belonged to us go somewhere else!
Yu Dong turned to her husbands and smiled at them gently before saying, " Ah Li is right, I only wish to avoid troubles which is why I handed that child all of my properties and it's not like I have any less of it. Have you forgotten the entire mountain belongs to me as well as the lands which are not under anyone's name? I am satisfied with just that…"
" But still those lands should have gone to you," while fixing her old glasses, Old Madam Yu sighed. ".. It's my fault, I shouldn't have married that mer—— because of his relationship with my aunt, I gave him a lot of face but he only made more and more mess."
Tong Li was the nephew of Old Madam Yu's uncle-in-law who married her aunt because those families were related to each other Old Madam Yu did not wish to make things difficult for her aunt. She never thought that Tong Li would be such a mer after getting married to her but every time she brought up divorce the mer would make a ruckus saying that he will go to his maternal home and complain to his uncle.
Old Madam Yu disdained to create strife in the lives of others thus she ignored Old Master Tong but she never expected that he would do something so evil behind her back.
"It is not your fault, grandmother," Yu Tong came back from the backyard after feeding the pigs and remarked, " Grandfather always hid this matter deep inside his heart and the way he dealt with this scheme was too clean, it would be a miracle if we found out about it."
" Ah Tong is right, grandma," Yu Dong smiled and nodded as she agreed with Yu Tong. " What Old Master Tong did are his own sins to carry, you don't have to feel saddened or aggrieved because of it. If you feel guilty like this then my mother in the afterlife will also feel upset."
Old Madam Yu sighed and then shook her head, she was befuddled most of her life and made life hell for others.
" I know that but——"
She was still speaking when a sudden knock stopped her causing everyone to turn and look at the open door where stood a mer with a daughter.
" Le'er?"
