Chapter 975: A shocking sight
Yu Tong wanted to kick these shameless women out but she did not get the chance to do so as Grandma Yu stormed out of the house and then slapped Yu Tong at the back of her head, " Why are you acting so clingy? Is this how you should be treating your friends?" Grandma Yu glared at her granddaughter who was acting too freely.
Just now she noticed the badge on the left arm of the woman in the middle and from the badge she knew that she was the leader of the team in which Yu Tong worked, yet the brat was treating her boss so casually was she not afraid of getting kicked out?
Grandma Yu turned to look at the three women and then bowed apologetically, " I am so sorry, she had been spoiled rotten by us but despite her flaws, she is a hard worker and would not let others down."
" There is no need for an apology, Old Madam Yu," Sister Kang waved her hand as she smiled at Yu Tong proactively causing the latter to fume. Yu Tong wanted to tell her grandmother that there was no need to act so kind towards these hungry ghosts but before she could open her mouth, Old Madam Yu glared at her warning her to stay silent.
Sister Kang introduced herself along with Gong Shun and Hou Bo as the three of them walked inside the Yu house.
" Hello, Old Madam Yu," the two women bowed in front of Old Madam Yu and greeted her politely, while Fang Chi and Chen Mi immediately hid behind the walls of the kitchen. As they were mer concubines they were not allowed to show their faces in front of women whom they did not know —— Ye Liu was the only one who stepped out of the kitchen and greeted the three women as the secondary husband.
" Good day, good day," Sister Kang looked at the mer in front of her and smiled politely, though she felt a bit confused upon seeing Ye Liu. From the looks of Yu Dong was quite rich and her looks were good as well, so why was she married to such manly mers? Neither of them looked half as good as those mers whom she saw in the town.
But Sister Kang was wise enough not to question something like this as she could see that Yu Dong respected her husbands a lot and that thought only got stronger as Yu Dong allowed her mer concubines to come out and greet them.
" Mi…Chi? What are you doing inside the kitchen? Come and greet the guests," Yu Dong did not want anyone to look down on her husbands no matter what their positions were and thus she did not follow the laws like everyone else. It was not their fault that they married her as concubines, after all, so why should they be covering their faces as if they did something wrong?
" Hello, hello …" Chen Mi stepped out of the kitchen and bowed to the three women followed by Fang Chi who was holding little Bo in his hands.
Once the greetings were done, Yu Tong turned to look around the house and asked, " Sister, where is Uncle Le? Shouldn't he be here to have lunch with us?" Since Yu Le pampered her, Yu Tong was hoping to get another person to back her up!
Yu Dong smiled as she looked at Yu Tong and then answered, " Uncle Le wants to start building a greenhouse as soon as possible, which is why he went to his farmland."
She did not tell Yu Tong about Li Sangyu's attempts to get close to their uncle lest the latter recklessly rushed forward to beat that woman up.
" He should let the mammies help him," Yu Tong sighed before turning to look at her grandmother who was happily entertaining the three women as if they were guests of their family.
" Old Madam Yu there is no need to cook so much for us," said Gong Shun with an embarrassed expression but anyone could see that she was more than eager to gobble the meal cooked by the delicious vegetables grown by the Yu family.
Old Madam Yu laughed as she waved her hand and then said, " There is no need for you to be so shy with me. You are Ah Tong's friends so of course we need to treat you well."
Yu Tong rolled her eyes upon hearing her grandmother's words and then said in a low voice, " Who are friends with them? They are simply thick-skinned!! Instead of going back to their house, they chased after me and ever since then they stuck to me like leeches! If you treat them so well, they will end up taking advantage of your kindness and think of getting free meals every day."
The three women: "….." Though they did stick close to Yu Tong to get a free meal at the Yu family, there was no need for her to describe them like this right?
Her words caused Yu Dong to laugh while Old Madam Yu glared at Yu Tong once again.
It did not take long for Sister Kang and the rest to take a seat in the living room while Chen Mi and the others went to cook inside the kitchen, Yu Dong went with them too so when Sister Kang and the rest saw Yu Dong chopping onions with wonderful skills they could not help but ask, " Miss Yu? You know cooking as well?"
Sister Kang's question caused the mers to look at Yu Dong as they stopped working even Shen Li felt a bit awkward while playing with Shen Jin. Everyone knew that it was the job of mers to cook for the guests and the women of the family were asked to entertain their guests but instead of sitting with others, Yu Dong was cooking along with Chen Mi and the rest.
Of course, this sight would be too shocking for some!
