Chapter 472: Its you! Who schemes against my wife,
Chapter 472: Its you! Who schemes against my wife,
If Yu Dong was being honest, she really didn't want to have any sort of conversation with the newly appointed village head but she also didn't want to be pushed to the guillotine when the storm arrives compared to the accusations she will have to face then, the current trouble was much better.
Village head Gu lived in the heart of the village maybe it gave her a sense of accomplishment or maybe it made her feel important but she stayed at the biggest house that could have been allocated to the current head of the village. Not even a day passed by after she was appointed the village head, Madam Gu and her family shifted to the biggest house available in the village, Yu Dong wouldn't have paid any attention to her but then again Madam Gu's husbands made a lot of ruckuses, they even brought sweets to every household to share the 'good news' with everyone.
As for how much of good news was it, Yu Dong was soon going to find out.
She came to stop in front of Village head Gu's house and knocked on the door, no one answered the door for a few minutes and just when Yu Dong was thinking about whether or not she should just turn around and leave when the door was pulled open and Madam Gu's official husband strode out of the house.
The mer standing in front of her had a slightly curved nose like that of a bird's beak, with eyes that seemed to be filled with contempt and annoyance, his body was plump and his expression was haughty as he stared at Yu Dong who was standing on the threshold of his house. " Oh, aren't you Yu Dong? What is the great businesswoman of our village doing at our humble abode? I don't believe that we have accumulated enough karma to have you visit us yet."
Village head Gu's husband has long heard about how Yu Dong used her connections in the town to threaten his wife regarding the matter concerning that mer called Xiao Hua. After his wife was appointed the village head, as her husband he often received gifts and goodwill from the villagers, when has he ever heard that his wife was being threatened by a young girl, who didn't even have half of the experience as them?
Even now he was enjoying the fried bacon that he got as a gift but had to put down everything just to answer the door, how can he not be displeased by Yu Dong who was bent on finding trouble with his wife? He couldn't help but scornfully berate Yu Dong as he ran his eyes over the bucket of boar meat she was holding. Though he was greedy, there was no way he was going to demand that meat, but of course, if Yu Dong was to offer it then he will very reluctantly accept it, the possibility of him ever forgiving her was of course very slim.
He didn't invite Yu Dong inside his house nor did he offer any sort of hospitality, instead he stared at Yu Dong with his arms folded as if he was her superior. In fact, after listening to what his wife had to say, He Cheung believed that not cursing Yu Dong out loud and chasing her off after spitting on her face was already good enough.
Yu Dong too didn't want to have any face-off with a conceited mer who believed that the world revolved around his wife because saying anything to him would be equivalent to her trying to talk to a hardheaded bull, so she exhaled sharply and opened her mouth prepared to be scolded until even her toenail was itching to beat the crap out of this mer. " Uncle He, I am not here because I want to find trouble with you, I was catching fish at the shore when I noticed the subtle change in the weather. The winds seemed to be flowing much harsher than before and the waves rising in the ocean seemed a lot more dangerous than usual. I believe there is a storm coming, if Village head Gu is her can you call her?——"
" What are you talking about, huh?" He Cheung's expression changed in an instant as he grabbed his pants and came down from the threshold of his house, staring at Yu Dong as if he was going to eat her alive. " You first wanted to discredit my wife because of that mer, what is he called? Oh yes, Xiao Hua and now all of a sudden you are talking about the village getting affected by a storm, are you trying to throw mud at my wife just because she didn't listen to you as every other villager does?"
" No, that's not it… I never wanted——" Yu Dong frowned as she began speaking but before she could finish what she was saying, He Cheung rushed inside his house and picked up a broom before pointing it threateningly at her. " You wanted to be the village head right?"
Yu Dong felt like she might have misheard He Cheung, she frowned and immediately denied his claims. " Of course not, why will I want to become the village head?"
" Isn't that so?" With a smile that was condescending enough to make a child cry, He Cheung stepped down the stairs again and looked at Yu Dong with his wild eyes. " That was why you and that husband of yours made such a scene on the day of your wedding, everyone believes your nonsense—— but I don't. Mu Yuxi? The daughter of the village head with a compatible and worthy mer next to her actually went for someone like your husband? That she kidnapped him because she was infatuated with him?" He laughed out loud with a nasty expression as he raised his broom and hit Yu Dong on the arm, the hit wasn't light nor was it hard but Yu Dong's eyes twitched as she stared at the mer in front of her. " I know that it was just you and your husband's scheme to get rid of Mu Xuan. You two wanted to usurp her village head's position that was why you did all that didn't you? But your plan wasn't successful, that was why you are now targeting my wife, isn't that it?"
