"Alright," Ye Liu raised his hands and separated the two when he heard them quarrel. He pushed the door open of Shen Li’s room and reprimanded them in a light voice, "You two at least watch where you are fighting."
Yu Dong and Shen Li shut their mouths as they looked down at their two sons.
Forget about Little Baobei who was already shedding tears even Feng Feng seemed to have teary eyes.
"Ah, why are you crying? I am not saying anything to your daddy," Yu Dong said to little Baobei. She picked him up and patted him on the back as she hugged him in the arms. "There, there."
She kissed the forehead of her son before turning to look at Shen Li and kissing him on the cheek. She said to him, "I shouldn’t have raised my voice on you."
"I am sorry as well. I should not have stopped you from taking our children outside," Shen Li was also slightly embarrassed as he knew that he should not have said something so rude to Yu Dong as well.
He was just worried that his sons would somehow get into trouble in case someone were to hand them seeds.
Yu Dong often got busy in the middle of their walks.
Shen Li couldn’t leave her alone with the kids.

Because of this, he said some rude words to Yu Dong without paying attention to what he was saying.
In his frantic desire to keep his sons protected and safe, he seemed to have said something rude which hurt his wife.
He did not even realise it till now.

Shen Li lowered his head and kissed his son on the cheek before smiling at him. He said, "Daddy is sorry for raising his voice."
Ye Liu rolled his eyes with a huff, he then turned to look at Yu Dong and asked her, "Did you send someone to collect the compensation from Second Aunt? Someone from the Yamen just came to me and Ah Chi, she handed a set of documents before taking her leave."
"Yes." Yu Dong did not deny it as she had indeed sent a report to the Yamen and Magistrate Li. She knew Yu Linyun better than anyone. That woman was not going to hand over the compensation easily to their family.
However, a million taels were lost and Yu Dong could not ignore it.
Yu Cheng had to pay for it no matter what.
However, Yu Cheng was arrested and there was no point in delving into the matter of whether he could pay it back or not.
Since Yu Cheng was arrested but Yu Dong made a loss, compensation was a must and Yu Linyun should be the one to pay it back.
This was why she asked Magistrate Li to intervene as Yu Linyun ought to make a fuss. Given that she was refusing to see Lang these days even though Lang had gone to the mill where Yu Linyun worked——
It was enough to see that Yu Linyun had no desire to pay back any compensation. If she were to force her then that woman would only try to suppress her through filial piety and whatnot.
She Li was confused when he heard that Yu Dong had filed a complaint with Magistrate Li.
He did not think that they were going to get the money back, as Yu Linyun was the kind of woman who would jump in the river rather than hand someone money.
What was more, Yu Cheng was already arrested. Wasn’t it a bit immoral of them if they were to ask the Old Yu family to compensate a million tael?
He said to Yu Dong, "Yu Cheng has already been arrested. Is it really okay to ask his mother to compensate?"
"Of course." Yu Dong rolled her eyes and said, "Yu Cheng was arrested because he did something wrong. But the loss that we suffered, who is going to pay for it? These are two different things."
"He cannot shirk responsibility just because he is locked up in the prison."
"But will the second aunt pay the compensation?" Ye Liu questioned. She did not seem like the person who would give up so easily.
After all the loss was of a total of a million tael!
Yu Linyun once refused to hand them ten taels.
"She will have to pay for it," Yu Dong nodded as she placed her son on the cot. "No matter what she would have to take out the money as it is the law. Since her son was caught and apprehended there is no way, Second aunt can avoid responsibility."
Shen Li swallowed before laying his fussy son down on the cot as well. He said, "I don’t think second aunt will agree to pay the compensation even if the Yamen is involved."
"You don’t have to worry about it, leave this matter to the yamen," Yu Dong as she stood up from the bed. Her lips curled in a sly smile as she said in a subtle voice, "I am not a greedy woman. It is just that if I am not compensated, I don’t think that I can continue paying the current taxes."
Ye Liu and Shen Li: "…" So you basically threatened Li Wan.
"Don’t worry nothing will happen," Yu Dong saw the worry in the eyes of her husband and said to them, "I know what I am doing. If we leave them alone without teaching them that there are consequences for their actions, the old Yu family will take us lightly."
It did not matter that she had lost one million taels but she would never let Yu Cheng forget the night when he decided to barge inside her house and put his hands on her son and her brother.
Even though weeks have passed, Yu Mai still had a shoe print on his chest. That footprint had lightened by a lot of degrees but ——Yu Dong was not going to let Yu Cheng off so easily.
She would teach him a lesson and she was going to teach his mother a lesson as well for not raising her son properly.
