Dedicating todays chapter to OneMore_Chapter22, chrisb13, moondark.         

    

After Yu Tong finished speaking, she even bowed in front of Old man Yu, who was left speechless. At first, he looked confused, then shocked and now he was completely silent but Yu Dong could see the calculating glint in his eyes, her eyes narrowed coldly but she didn't say anything, she just clicked her tongue and looked away, she already knew what was going to happen next.      

Yu Tong's words were like hot news, immediately the entire group of villagers exploded as they all turned to look at each other before turning to look at the Yu family.      

"What the Old husband of madam Yu left her to hang onto the roof of the house, what was going on in his head?"      

" That's right, old madam Yu is his wife and she has been taking care of him for so long, they even have a daughter together yet he showed such heartlessness towards her? Is he serious?"      

" What do you know? Ever since Old madam Yu fell, her ability to work in the fields has gotten worse and worse, a wife like that must have been a burden on Old man Yu. However, for the sake of his face he couldn't divorce her that was why he must have done something as ruthless as that, even if old Madam Yu is now in her late sixties, don't forget that her old husband married her when he was rather young, old madam Yu has now turned into a shrivelled up dried fig but Old man Yu is still young bet, he might have thought that he would be able to get married again, his daughter is successful after all and he also has a grandson, the pride of the entire village."      

After he heard the villagers' words Old man Yu puffed up as if someone has stepped on his invisible tail, he did have such thoughts when Yu Tong kept telling him that his wife would end up dying. Back then, a demon might have possessed her because he really thought of remarrying after his wife died after he was still young and with his figure that was still maintained like he was in his youth just like a delicate beauty but that thought only stayed for a while.      

Once he was rescued, he came to his senses and realised what he has done, he was sorry indeed for thinking like that but after he carefully thought it over most of his guilt vanished, after all, they were in a life and death situation, such thoughts could be considered normal, he was, in the end, a human was he not? making such kind of mistakes was okay.      

But now that his devilish thoughts were picked on by someone and they even spelt it out loud, he couldn't help but turn around and shout at the crowd, " What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think that I am such a man? I am not someone who would abandon my wife in such a scenario… at that time I was just scared out of my wits and I couldn't think straight and the roof was not strong to hold so many people, wasn't it the case for you all as well? that was why I couldn't come up with a proper idea, why are you making it sound like I am some sort of murderer?"      

" Ooooh, old man Yu why are you getting angry? If you have no thief in your heart then why are you getting angry like that?" One of the villagers jeered seeing that Old man Yu was getting angry, all of them were smart enough to see that there was something wrong with him. " Your healthy and sturdy daughter could not hang at the edge of the roof but instead it was your old wife whose bones have grown old who was left to hang onto the roof, yeah we can totally see just how scared you were…"      

" That's right why are you getting angry at us? Do you think that you are still the father of Yu Dong's mother and that we will suck our anger to appease you? Even I was scared out of my wits but instead of leaving my wife, I suggested hanging onto the roof instead because, to me, my wife is more important than my life." One of the mers who spoke earlier opened his mouth again and this time his wife didn't stop him, instead, she shot him a loving look.      

The wise men really spoke the truth, adversities showed the true feelings of someone. She was lucky to have a husband like this if it was someone like Old man Yu ——-     

Such calculations could be made by someone who was scared out of their wits.      

Old man Yu was frightened by the imposing manner of the villagers, he realised that he would not be able to bully his way through this, so he pursed his lips many times before he turned to look at Yu Tong and shouted agonisingly, " You girl what nonsense are you talking about? Was it that I was the one who asked your grandmother to hang on the edge of the roof? Or was it she who volunteered to do so, why are you making it sound like I forced her to do it? Look, look how the villagers are talking about me now, is that what you wanted?" As old man Yu shouted, he took off his dirt and mud-covered shoe before throwing it at Yu Tong.      

The dirty shoe hit Yu Tong on the shoulder and she clenched her fingers on the side, breathing heavily, she wanted to snap back at Old man Yu but Yu Dong sensing what Old man Yu was trying to do, hurriedly pinched Yu Tong and the latter's anger suddenly deflated as she lowered her head even more and said, " Grandfather is right, I was wrong. It was grandmother who volunteered to hang from the edge of the roof, so can you help her grandfather? Grandmother was nice enough to sacrifice herself, surely you will get her treated right ?"      

Old man Yu: "…." No, that's the wrong script! Get angry at me damn it.
