Chapter 856: Not allowed to share ——2
When the villagers saw that Yu Dong was getting angry, they all panicked and thought that she would not take care of them which was why they did not dare to make a fuss, only idiots like Old Master Tong were willing to rush up ahead and then jump into the pit as the old mer opened his mouth and disgruntled said, " Why? You are willing to sell the grains which means that you clearly have enough, why can't you just give it to us?"
Yu Dong's smile turned sarcastic as she turned to look at Old Master Tong, she knew that one of the sh*t stirrers of the village will rush to speak after hearing her suggestion and sure enough, this mer did not disappoint her.
" Old Master Tong, I am afraid that I am the village owner of this village, not your mother, I do not need to care about the life and death of everyone as long as one is willing to survive, they will fight for their chance no matter what as for those who wait for someone to come and rescue them, there is nothing that I can do for them ." Yu Dong shrugged her shoulders and then stopped paying attention to Old Master Tong ignoring the ugly look on the face of the old mer.
Old Master Tong wanted to say something but he was stopped by his daughter who shook her head, though this deal looked like it was not good. Second Aunt Yu knew that this was still better than having nothing in their hands.
Seeing that one of the sh*t stirrers was silent, Yu Dong turned to the rest when she saw that they were discussing between themselves and then said in an unhurried voice, " I know what is going on in your heads, the weather is cold now and there is no way we will be able to grow any food in our field and if we cannot grow food then nor can your relatives who live close to us in the neighbouring villages, your relatives are not rich either and might not have saved any grains."
" But you all need to understand that you need to live a tight life from today onwards!" As she spoke she turned to look at the mers who were stunned when they heard what she was telling them. Yu Dong ignored the shocked expressions of the mers and then said, " I don't care how much grains you want to purchase, as long as you are willing to buy, I will sell. But don't even think about biting the hand which feeds you, I am going to arrange a hunting group as well as a scavenging group, if we strive to survive, we will not lack meat, grain or wild vegetables but you all need to understand that what you receive from the big river village belongs to our village and no one shall have a share of it!"
" No one in this village shall think about taking those extra shares of grains and meat to their maternal house in an act of imparting kindness! Even if your maternal family is on the verge of dying stay inside your houses unless those who are dying come and die in front of your house, do not take out anything! If you take our village reserves out you can get lost! I will have your wife divorce you right then and there, do not think of this as a threat but a warning because I will definitely do it. Understand?"
The eyes of the mers constricted, they all turned to look at each other before turning to look at Yu Dong with a trembling expression on their faces. They all wanted to ask their wives to send some grains to their mothers and daddies since they were indeed not doing good after the flood.
Their families were in such poor condition that if they don't pay attention to them maybe one of the many members of their maternal family will die because of starvation.
" But…But we are buying the grains…" one of the mers opened her mouth but before he could finish speaking he was glared by Ye Liu who was standing next to Yu Dong.
Because Chen Mi and the rest were too gentle when dealing with mers, Yu Dong brought Ye Liu with her after getting her door knocked on by the villagers, now he was the one who was responsible for dealing with mers.
" Are you really that compassionate? You are the only one who cares about their maternal family? Mi's mother is also in a difficult situation but do you see him sending any grains to his mother?" Ye Liu was not lying Chen Mi's mother was indeed in a bad situation because of the flood and the snow.
It would be right to say that she was now relying on dried grains and the wild animals that she could hunt together with her two daughters but even so Chen Mi was not allowed to send any grains out of the house because of this there was not a moment of peace at home.
Chen Mi was not even speaking to Yu Dong after the fight where she stopped him from sending grains to his mother, though Chen Mi understood Yu Dong's problems and her reasons as well—— his mother was still the closest person to him because she continued to look for him even though he went missing for months.
Yu Dong stopping him from sending grains was equivalent to asking him to watch his mother starve and he could not accept it.
When Ye Liu spoke about Chen Mi, he felt Yu Dong stiffen next to him and sighed before turning to look at the mer who just spoke and resentfully glared at him, " You don't have any idea what is going outside do you?"
He then turned to look at that mer's wife and said, " Why haven't you told your husbands anything?"
The wife of that mer was stunned when she was called out by a mer in the end, she licked her lips and then turned to look at her husband and then said, " Little Ning… I went to the village entrance and I saw many villagers crouching outside waiting for us to step out, if we leave with grains then they will definitely attack us … what's more the situation outside is so bad that those who are starving are willing to eat anything which is edible. Including humans."
