982  Fool courting death ——2

 Only then did Lang Ru realise that Yu Mai was holding himself back because of her. She turned to look at Yu Mai whose expression was awkward as if a cat was caught stealing cream, seeing this, Lang Ru wished to slap herself in the face.

Her daddy told her that she needed to be polite and make sure that the mer she was vowing would get everything that he liked but here she was becoming the biggest obstacle in letting Yu Mai have his fun. Thus, she smiled and then said with a jolly voice, " Who told you that scholars cannot play in the mud? I came from the countryside and thus it is all right for me to play around."

Lang Ru was of course lying, scholars were supposed to be dignified all the time but for the sake of impressing Yu Mai for their happy future, she was willing to go all out!

" Really?" Yu Mai's eyes lit up as he jumped up in joy, if Sister Ru could play with him then he wouldn't have to worry about his brothers-in-law getting angry at him. He immediately rushed towards the creek while dragging Lang Ru with him, as he caught hold of Lang Ru's wrist, the latter shot a proactive look at Nie Liang whose expression turned sour.

But when she thought about how Lang Ru was just the daughter of a servant, she calmed down and did not say anything.

Yu Mai happily looked around for loaches this time he did not even care that Lang Ru's brilliant white robes were covered in mud and even Lang Ru did not stop him, instead, she dotingly allowed Yu Mai to drag her around. As long as Yu Mai remembered how she was with him through thick and thin, he ought to agree to her proposal!

" Mai, ask your goat to take care of my livestock as well!"

" Mine as well or else my daddy will hit me with a broom."

Everyone knew that the calf and Mister Goat were spiritual, even the cow and the bull were quite skilled. They did not wander off to the fields of the villagers and they did not allow the rest of the livestock to leave the grazing field either. This was something that the entire village knew about and so did the children which was why they asked Yu Mai for help such that they could play without worrying about anything.

" You always do that," Yu Mai pouted but he still helped his friends. He told Little Calf and his family to take care of the other families' livestock.

While some of them were busy playing around, a young mer rushed out in the grazing field and then started collecting the cow dung which was dropped on the ground by the cows of the Yu family. His actions were sneaky and no one caught him, Before long he had picked up enough manure and then rushed back home.

" Did you bring it?" A woman with a greasy smile rushed out of the house and then snatched the manure from her son, she looked at the little amount of cow dung and slapped the little boy harshly on the back of his head. " What are you doing? I asked you to bring a lot of manure why did you bring just a little bit of it?"

The little mer rubbed his cheek which was stinging badly and then glared at his mother before replying, " Everyone was playing in the field! How can I smuggle cow dung without them finding out? If they were to find out then they would deal ask what I was doing!"

" You still dare to talk back!" The woman placed the bucket aside and then rushed to beat the mer who ran inside the house to find his father. But even his father was not able to save him, instead, the two of them were beaten by the woman who spat on the ground and then rushed to grab the bucket of cow dung from outside.

This woman was one of the laziest women in the village, with a fat body and furious temper she did not get along with many. What was more her family was poor and she did not have any parents to lord over her thus, she did what she liked.

When Yu Dong asked the villagers to rent their lands to her for a fifty-fifty profit, Ping Jeng wanted to grab hold of those seeds as well but when she found out that all the vegetables would be sold by Yu Dong and she would only get a fifty per cent share after renting out her land, she was not willing.

Clearly, Yu Dong and her mers earned a huge amount so why should she share her money with them? They were renting out the lands and they were the ones who were working hard in the fields, so what rights Yu Dong had to grab a fifty per cent share from their hard work? Wasn't she clearly mooching off their hard work?

Thus, she refused to sign the contract but when Peng Jing saw that the villagers' lives were getting better she was jealous of their development.

Thus a sneaky thought came into her mind, what if she were to steal a small amount of manure from the Yu family and grow her own vegetables? If that were the case then she would be able to open her own shop and sell the vegetables at her own price.

Fortunately, Peng Jing's idea worked and the spiritual energy in the cow dung helped her crops grow really well but she did not know that the cow dung from the Yu family's livestock only accelerated the growth of the vegetables and other than that nothing else changed!

In the end, the sweetness and the wonderful taste of the vegetables all came from the spiritual energy that was instilled in the seeds provided by Yu Dong, however, Peng Jing who was drowning in success couldn't care less! And as she hadn't tasted the vegetables of the Yu family's farm she thought that she was doing nothing wrong!

And she had no idea what kind of danger she was attracting.
