Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 1151: Not happy that you are opening a mall
Ying Nan returned with a few cups of tea and some starters that he had made with Chen Mi. He placed them on the table and then scurried to sit with Chen Mi who smiled at him and handed him a few sunflower seeds to crack open and eat.
Ying Nan looked at the sweet and salty sunflower seeds and started to crack them with ease. Last night he was still troubled but now he wasn't as troubled as last night because he had been long infected by the enthusiasm of the Yu family. He had only stayed with them for two nights and they had treated him warmly with no hassles attached this was something that he appreciated a lot.
In the past when could he sleep in a warm bed and eat a full meal? His stepfather would keep him hungry because he wanted to make sure that Ying Nan would not get sleepy while hungry and would wake up early to cook food.
" So what have you two planned?" Grandma Yu asked with a light voice. " I am not saying that we are troubled by Ying Nan but it is not good for the entire village to be troubled like this, many of the families have their own things to do if they continue looking for a person who isn't even lost then their livelihood will be affected."
Most of the villagers in the Big Mountain Village depended on selling wild game, pickles and vegetables.
A few families did farm but they did not sell a lot of their own vegetables in the market now that the situation was dire but they still went to the town to sell their pickles and wild games, Grandma Yu heard from her friends that because Ying Nan was missing no women went to the town to sell anything and were staying in the village looking for Ying Nan.
" If they find Ying Nan soon then there will be no opportunity for us to rile the people of Big Mountain Village, Grandmother," Yu Dong explained as she looked at Grandma Yu with a soft yet sly smile. " We need to make the patience of the Big Mountain Village run dry and Da Qiao to be reprimanded by the county magistrate, only then will they hate and condemn everything that Old Master Ying does."
" If they find Ying Nan so easily then they will continue to ignore many like Ying Nan in the village. Even Ying Nan will be blamed by them, I don't want that to happen which is why the anger of the villagers needs to find another outlet."
Yu Dong knew that she was being a tad bit too much by troubling the entire village but how many mers were suppressed and sold by their stepfather like this? The number was way more than Yu Dong could count, Da Qiao was a good leader but she did not like to poke her nose in the matter of other families which allowed them to run rampant.
As long as Da Qiao received punishment, Yu Dong was sure that she would learn a very good lesson to keep a good reign on the people of her village. A leader's responsibilities were not as shallow as Da Qiao thought after all, if she could not give a good life to her people, she should at least make sure that they were not sold or tormented like slaves!
When Grandma Yu and the rest heard Yu Dong's words they agreed with her. What she said was indeed right, they could not let Ying Nan be found so soon, let the entire village be turned upside down, and then they would allow the villagers of the Big Mountain Village to find Ying Nan miraculously.
" Sister Dong is right," Song Yixu agreed with Yu Dong first as she knew how important it was for Da Qiao and everyone else to learn a good lesson. Though the population of mers was really high it did not mean that one could be replaced by another and that they could sell their mer sons as they wished.
" Thats right," Mother Chen nodded as she agreed with Yu Dong as well. " If they don't learn a lesson this time then they will turn a blind eye to everything that is happening to mers like Nan Nan. My mother used to tell me that staying silent in the face of unfair treatment was equivalent to taking part in an unfair act."
The others agreed as well, what if Ying Nan went back and then they started to treat him like always? It was better to deal with this problem once and for all!
Yu Dong smiled when she saw that everyone understood what she wanted to say. She turned to look at one of the mer servants whom she had hired to help Chen Mi in the kitchen, he was a young boy who was being sold on the street by his drunken mother.
He was about to be sold as a courtesan but Yu Dong bought him with triple the amount and then handed him to Chen Mi such that he could learn cooking and then start working in the mall.
It was a good thing that the mer was honest and knew that he needed to do good work which was why he hardly created trouble for anyone.
Yu Dong told the mer to cook a few dishes for lunch and then turned to look at Song Yixu who asked her, " I heard from Sha Sha that you are going to open your mall next month. Is it true?" Continue your saga on novelbuddy.com
" It's true," Yu Dong nodded as she replied. She did not even need to know how Qiao Sha knew about the mall, it was most probably from Jiang Fenghua and Zhou Yan who were responsible for keeping an eye on the bread and jam department.
When Song Yixu heard Yu Dong's response, she frowned which attracted the attention of Yu Dong who asked, " Whats the matter? Are you not happy that I am opening a mall?"
" Truth be told, I am not."
