"Dong Dong! Are you alright?" Chen Mi and the rest had just stepped out of the house, they wanted to come out long ago but as Yu Linyun was their elder and was also a woman, they could not say anything rude to her.
Even if they came outside of the house, they would have been condemned by Yu Linyun for acting way above their status which was why they listened to Yu Dong and stayed inside the house.
However, when they heard the screams of the villagers they could not stop themselves and rushed out of the house only to see Yu Dong’s clothes, neck and hands covered in mud.
"Wife!" Chen Mi gasped feeling even guiltier than ever, it was his fault that he said those things to Yu Dong which led to this trouble.
If he had not done that then his wife wouldn’t have been humiliated like this.
"I am fine, don’t worry too much," Yu Dong wiped the mud off her clothes and neck calmly. She also did not expect Yu Linyun to do such a childish thing.
Slinging mud? Was she three years old?
However, how could the mers not worry? Shen Li walked over to where Yu Dong was standing and carefully assessed her from top to bottom before his eyes fell on the medium-sized stone on Yu Dong’s foot.
That wasn’t all. Her big toe was bleeding!

"You call this fine! Look down and see how fine you are!" Shen Li rebuked Yu Dong who frowned at his words before lowering her head. Only then did she notice that her big toe was smashed by something?
’Oh, so this was it. Just now I did feel a little push,’ Yu Dong who was used to finding zombies didn’t feel anything when a small stone was aimed at her.
For her this injury was nothing.
But for the mers, it was a big thing!
Yu Dong’s toe was smashed, and the nail on top of it was also removed. Was it a small matter?
The villagers also followed Yu Dong’s gaze and sucked in a breath when they saw that Yu Dong was actually hurt.
Just now she was acting as if she was completely fine and they thought that Yu Dong was indeed alright. Who would have thought that her big toe was smashed along with the little one?
"Damn! Yu Linyun is heartless. Here I thought that she was acting childishly and it turns out that she truly wanted to hurt Yu Dong!"

"Look at all that blood, I bet the nail is smashed to bits. Fortunately, Miss Dong dodged and the stone hit her shoulders, if it had hit her face it would have been terrible!"
"Yu Linyun, she is really too much! No wonder she raised a child like Yu Cheng, only an unreasonable mother would raise an unreasonable child."
The villagers burst into all kinds of chatter as they ridiculed and rebuked Yu Linyun.
They never thought that Yu Linyun had the potential to hurt someone but after seeing how she hurled a stone at her own niece just because she did not get what she wanted, their views on Yu Linyun changed.
Old Madam Yu’s face paled as she looked at the nail that had been smashed by her daughter.
"Dong Dong," Old Madam Yu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Even though she was not the one who hurt Yu Dong, the one who hurt her was her daughter.
It was her fault that she did not teach Yu Linyun well and let her turn into this mess.
"It is not your fault," Yu Dong smiled at Old Madam Yu before saying, "This is not even a big injury. I can simply pull the smashed toenail out and a new one will grow in no time."
At least with her spiritual energy, she could fix it without any trouble.
When the mers heard Yu Dong’s casual words, their eyes gradually turned reddish.
She was really too careless when it came to her own safety.
Chen Mi walked forward and then grabbed Yu Dong’s hand in his own hands. He was really scared. From what the villagers said, Yu Linyun aimed for Yu Dong’s face.
If she was any more unlucky then it would have been her jaw that would have been smashed.
It was all because of him that she was suffering like this.
Chen Mi’s grip made Yu Dong frown as she knew what he was thinking. She raised her free hand and patted him on the head, " I am fine, something like this won’t kill me."
Chen Mi tightened his grip even more when he heard that, he was really and truly upset with Yu Linyun and himself. Maybe if he had kept his mouth shut then his wife wouldn’t have gotten hurt. Just because she was strong did not mean that she deserved to get hurt!
He wanted to say a lot of things but ended up swallowing them as he said to Yu Dong, "I will draw a bath for you, you should wash up this mud and deal with your wound."
Yu Dong saw that Chen Mi was struggling and sighed. She patted him on his head again before saying, "Go and fetch water from the vat. I will take a bath."
She then turned to look at the rest of the villagers before saying, "Is there something else that you all need to know?"
"No! No! We already know everything."
"That’s right, don’t worry Dong Dong, we support you."
The villagers wanted to know if Yu Dong was going to continue paying the taxes but when they thought about the mess that just happened, they could only sigh and return to work.
The old Yu family, they were truly one troublesome bunch!
However, as soon as Yu Dong turned to walk inside the house someone came rushing from outside and hugged her from behind.
"Sister! Are you alright? I heard from Aunt Wang that my mother came to find trouble with you!"
