Chapter 964: I want to separate——2
Yu Le's eyes turned red as he looked at the money in front of him. He turned to look at his mother wanting to hand those taels to him but Old Madam Yu stopped him as she raised her hand and then pushed the money back to Yu Le.
" I have already talked with Dong Dong since you have returned I know that you are going to feel uncomfortable living with the rest of the family," Old Madam Yu knew her son had pride intact in his heart even if he was beaten and bruised he will not take a thing that he did not own and if it wasn't for Li Yuya's accident, Yu Le would have snatched these taels on his own. " We have enough space behind our house, you can use five taels to buy a plot of land from the officials and use the remaining five taels to make a simple house for you and your daughter. Once you have enough money, you can expand."
" Can I do that?" Yu Le asked with a pair of shiny eyes, he looked at the taels in front of him and then turned his attention to his mother who nodded and explained, " Dong Dong is the owner of the village, as long as she is willing she can leave the land behind our house for you but I would like it if you make the house inside our courtyard or at least allow your poor mother to build walls around your house. I will be at ease that way."
When Yu Le heard Old Madam Yu's suggestion he found it feasible, he knew that he was now without a woman. He could not leave as casually as he did before, he had to take care of security as well as his safety and his daughter's safety as well.
Walls big enough to cover a house was indeed something that he needed very much.
" I understand, I will do as you say, Mother," Yu Le nodded, he did not wish to worry his mother which was why he agreed with what Old Madam Yu said.
Once he agreed it was only a matter of time for the construction to start as Yu Dong was getting tired of so many people leaving in her house. Thus when she went to the officials, not only did she buy the land behind her but she also bought the land next to her house from all sides and started building another building to stuff her guests and children when they grow up while leaving the main building for herself and her husband, so many days had passed and she couldn't even kiss even a single one of them without getting disturbed!
She wanted privacy damn it! She was craving some love!
….
On one hand, the Yu family was starting to rebuild their house while the Li family was in chaos all day long.
Once Yu Dong left with Old Madam Yu and Yu Tong, Jia Song simply put forward his demand to separate. He no longer wanted to put up with his selfish and good-for-nothing sisters-in-law, they did not work but ate the most. The same could be said for their mers because their wives were pampered, those mers skimped on work every now and then —— leaving the entire work on his head.
In the past, they had Yu Le. Thus, the workload could be shared between the two but now that he was gone, all the housework fell on Jia Song.
At first Jia Song was willing to work hard but then he realised that after working hard every day his daughters and son were not even given enough to eat even though it was his wife who worked hard in the fields all day long.
Thus, he couldn't withstand it anymore. He simply told Li Wang that if she did not separate from her parents then he was taking his daughters and son away, his notion was supported by Li Wang's second husband who was pregnant. He was taking care of his pregnancy at his maternal home as the Li family had barely enough to eat but was called back the second Yu Le left.
He was pushed to do this and even when he was carrying a child and was due soon. If this goes on wouldn't he lose his child? He did not want to become like Min Yan who dropped his child when he got pregnant at the age of thirteen!
After Yu Dong left those shocking words, Jia Song with his restless behaviour couldn't help but poke around a little in the Min village and shockingly enough he found out that what Yu Dong said was indeed right! Min Yan got pregnant with Li Sangyu's child when he was very young and not old enough to get married.
Because they got pregnant Li Sangyu and Min Yan dropped the child by using some folk remedy. Though his family masked it with some nonsense, those who were smart enough knew what happened but since it concerned the reputation of the Min village no one let the information leak out!
It was only when Jia Song handed the other mer from the Min village a few eggs, did the latter tell him what happened a few years ago.
And it only made Jia Song's heart turn cold. Both Min Yan and Old Master Li who was Min Yan's uncle knew why Min Yan couldn't get pregnant but they still pushed the blame on Yu Le. They pushed the blame for so long that they almost believed that it was Li Yuya who was a jinx and it had nothing to do with Min Yan's shameless actions!
" I don't know if we don't separate today then I am leaving you!" Jia Song screamed at the top of his voice. " That Min Yan, shameless as he is…blamed everything on Yu Le just because he did not wish for anyone to know that he rolled in sheets with Li Sangyu years ago when he was just a child. Who knows! If we continue to live here, he might do the same to us and our daughters too! Who else will have to become jinx for Min Yan to save his rotten reputation, you tell me!"
