Chapter 71 - Good Pay!
Little bun was really a beautiful child, with Yu Dong and Chen Mi's genes it was a given that he was a good looking child as well, but Yu Dong took such considerate care of Little bun that he was now the chubbiest and healthy child of the village, even the granddaughter of Mu Xuan wasn't as chubby as Little bun who drank milk whenever he was hungry and even had the luck to eat mushy rice and vegetables that Yu Dong made for him. Every meal of his was balanced and nutritious with spiritual energy instilled in it, thus, he was now so round that now when his chubby tummy rose and fell as he breathed, people only had one thought in their mind and that was- ' so cute!'
Father Chen was eager to hold his grandson but since little bun was still asleep he could only rub his forehead and place a chaste kiss on his grandson's forehead " he is so cute, just as good looking as you were when you were a child. " gushed Father Chen as he looked at his grandson, his eyes full of happy tears. He long heard that his son gave birth and wanted to come to check up on both his son and grandson but because of Yu Dong's threat, he didn't dare to come to Chen Mi, now that he was looking at his grandson he thought that everything was just like a dream. He thought he will never be able to see his grandson in his entire life but here he was! Touching and holding little bun in his arms!
Mother Chen was emotional as well, this wasn't her first grandchild but she always felt that she let Chen Mi down by trusting her second sister and her family, if not for her mistake, her son would have never suffered such a faith. She always worried about her son, sometimes she thought that one day because of Yu Dong, her son might die a sorry death and even then she wouldn't be allowed to take a glimpse of his face.
Now that she saw with her own eyes that her son was happy and healthy, she was finally at ease. Yu Dong treated Chen Mi really well and she didn't disdain him even when he gave birth to a mer, in fact, she took even better care of this grandson of hers than her son!
Mother Chen was relieved, and so were the Chen sisters. The only one who had a dark face was the second brother in law, Hu Wei. His family had little resources but his mother in law, took out every single coin of their savings and brought so many things for Chen Mi, who was a mer and a married one at that, a married mer had no relations or rights to his maternal family resources. But still, Hu Wei didn't dare to rebel against his mother in law, even when his mother in law wanted to subsidise Chen Mi, he could only shut his mouth and let his in-laws do what they wanted to but - one look at Chen Mi's room and he knew that Chen Mi's life was far better than theirs! Not only did he have a cotton-filled mattress but his complexion was so rosy and healthy! With the generous amount of oil and rice, Yu Dong was using while cooking breakfast for their family, it was given that Chen Mi wasn't the slightest in the least!
He twisted his head around and lightly ' tsked'.
But even then his wide heard him, second sister Chen glared at him and gave him a clear warning. The expression that Second sister Chen showed him was clear that if he dared to act pettily as he did in their house, she would teach him a good lesson once they return to their house. He Wei had a selfish and cold-hearted personality but Second sister Chen could keep him in check, and because Second sister Chen was really filial to her parents, He Wei didn't dare to say a word, he could only shut up stiffly, whatever he might as well bicker with the eldest brother in law when they get home.
After receiving a glare from his wife, He Wei settled down and didn't dare to open his mouth anymore. Not a single peep could be heard from him.
Yu Dong soon finished cooking the dishes after Shen Li and Ye Liu returned with the things she asked them to buy, because the two were sensible enough instead of going inside Chen Mi's room and entertaining the guests they helped Yu Dong in the kitchen. With their help, Yu Doing finished cooking shortly and called Chen Mi to come and take the breakfast for his family.
The meal that Yu Dong prepared was simple but every dish was brimming with her spiritual energy, so every bite was full of savoury yet fresh taste. Even though the pork was two days old, it tasted as if it was freshly butchered, before the Chen family could stop themselves the dishes sent inside Chen Mi's room were thoroughly cleaned!
Mother Chen and the two Chen sisters were embarrassed the food was so good that they couldn't help but gobble everything. They came prepared to fight with Yu Dong instead they were treating themselves as Yu Dong's guest, though Mother Chen was embarrassed she promised to repay Yu Dong for this meal by working hard in less pay
That was what she thought but " eight cents? You are going to pay me right cents?" When Yu Dong came with Shen Li and Ye Liu to discuss the pay, Mother Chen was really surprised, eighty cents was not a small price! It was in fact a fairly generous offer!
" yes eighty cents, even if we are family I won't try to skim on paying you and my sisters-in-law, not only will I give you the pay you deserve but also give you a meal every day, what do you say mother in law, is this okay ?"
Okay? It was more than okay! For eighty taels, she might as well sing a lullaby to this good for - no, no, this rich and good looking daughter in law of hers!
After all money talks!
