Chapter 624: Because of Mu Yunxi !
No one said a word in retort to what Ye Liu said, the reason Shen Li was sold was that his family was indeed poor but Ye Liu's family could not be counted as totally poor. Ye Liu's daddy give birth to a son who was the youngest in the family but he was able to marry a rich missy who lived in the capital, it could be said that even though Ye Liu's family was not rich they were not wrecked up either. They had money to feed their children but then one day the youngest son of the Ye family returned home because his wife was killed in the rebellion attack of the rebels who were upset with the nobles.
The Ye family who was proud and haughty suddenly fell from grace and Ye Liu's youngest brother who was a man and has been treated as a rare treasure by his wife was even more upset. Day by day he grew depressed and in the end, he started to frequently visit the brothel and kept on drinking all day long, the Ye family could not say no to him and soon emptied the entire treasury that they had in their house.
Once poverty struck them, no one blamed the youngest son instead they turned to Ye Liu and his brothers who were mers. One by one they were sold away and Ye Liu who saw his family selling their sons for daily meals and clothes felt his heart grow cold. His youngest brother was a man, he was strong and was even educated, if he worked hard he could have earned decent money but he was too pampered to do that and his family instead of asking his youngest brother to work, sold him away.
Ever since then he truly hated everyone who belonged to the Ye family! And everyone else who abandoned their family members, which was why he never saw eye to eye with the previous Yu Dong who sold Yu Mai away.
" This is going to be difficult," Shen Li did not comment anything about Ye Liu's words because he did not want to rub salt on Ye Liu's wounds but he turned to look at Yu Dong and asked, " We already have a lot of family members in the house with the sudden onslaught of epidemic and lack of rations, do you think we will be able to raise this child well?"
Shen Li was not against taking the child in his house but he was against ignoring and raising the child without any proper care. If they were going to raise the child then they were going to raise her properly and if they cannot do that then they might not as well raise her. If they were to hand Yu Mai and Little bun bun meat while feeding the girl leafy vegetables and coarse grains then he might as well not raise this girl, to begin with, either they raise all the children equally or they don't raise this girl at all.
Yu Dong understood most of his worries which was why she nodded and said, " You don't have to worry, I will make sure that the girl is raised with the utmost care," she then paused and jokingly added, " In fact, I am thinking about raising a few girls like her at home such that I wouldn't have to send my sons away."
As she spoke she took a little bun bun from Chen Mi's arms and then showed the young girl who was lying on the bed before she said, " Bun bun, what do you think? The little sister is pretty right? When you grow up you can bully her as much as you want when she becomes your wife. I will beat her up if she was to even raise her voice at you."
Chen Mi: "….." Wife, this way of raising our son is just too wrong!
Fang Chi: "…." I hope I give birth to a daughter, I can't see this.
Shen Li and Ye Liu: "..." Dear lord, should they be worried about their sons or their daughters-in-law?
…..
Mu Ran who was cleaning up the dining table suddenly shivered and dropped the bowl on the ground causing the bowl to break and its pieces to fly all over the floor. Chu Cheng who was working in the kitchen while trying to coax his son that he wanted to change his name to Chu Feng, he wasn't going to change his daughter's name since he would leave the Mu family one heir but he wanted to have his Chu family have an heir as well which was why he has been trying to get his son to accept the name Chu Feng instead of the one his mother gave him.
As for the child in his belly, he was certain that it was a mer because of his gut feeling, which meant that even after he named his mer son 'Chu' there was no way he will be able to keep his family's last name!
But while he was coaxing his son, he heard his daughter drop a bowl and rushed out of the room.
" What's wrong?" He asked his daughter who expressionlessly looked at the broken bowl and replied with a blank look on her face, " Father have you ever felt like you have made a great enemy without doing anything ?"
Chu Cheng: "….." ???? What kind of words was this kid saying? What enemy? She was still far from becoming an adult!
…..
The Yu and the Chu family had their own troubles but the one whose troubles were the grandest was none other than Village head Gu whose entire face was covered with dark lines as she returned to the village with the rest of the villagers who did not get any rations from the shops in the town.
" Village head Gu, this is too much! Those shopkeepers cannot bully us just because of Mu Yunxi! She is already gone from this village, how can they even think of bullying us because of that rotten woman?" One of the villagers could no longer stop herself as she started to scold Mu Yunxi who was the cause of today's farce.
