Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 1838: Atoning for sins

Though Yu Dong knew that her thinking was a little extreme, this was the only way she could protect her family. Before these people attack her, she might as well deal with them with full force.

If that woman was allowed to get stronger and attacked them with her full strength, were there even chances of surviving? That woman attacked Qiao Sha and made her —her puppet. Who could guarantee her that the woman wouldn’t have attacked Li Wan? If that happened, then the city would have turned upside down.

"Yu Dong, I don’t want you to do this again." Ye Liu said to Yu Dong in a low voice. He caressed his slightly swollen belly before saying to her, "I know that you are doing this for our family but what is the point of putting your life on the line if you never return to us?"

Yu Dong’s eyes softened when she heard Ye Liu’s words. She said to him, "Alright, don’t worry and don’t get angry."

The mers didn’t say anything and simply lowered their heads. Seeing them like this, Yu Dong couldn’t help it. She said, "Actually, I will be honest. It’s not that I am afraid of pain; it’s just not nice to feel the sting and burn of cuts and stabs." She rolled her shoulders to show her arm, which had a deep cut.

"Why didn’t you say that you were injured?" When Shen Li saw the cut on her arm, he rebuked her angrily. A frown settled between his brows and he muttered, "I thought that you were really powerful; why is it that you are injured like this?"

Though he was speaking harshly, his hands and limbs didn’t stop moving. He walked to the cabinet from where he took out the box of medicine.

After retrieving his box of medicine, he returned to Yu Dong’s side and carefully brought her to the couch, where he helped her sit and looked at the hideous wound, which was peeking through the thick ointment.

His eyes turned murky as he wiped the ointment.

"Ouch! Be gentler, Li. Why are you dealing with my wound so heavily? Don’t use so much strength. The wound is not that shallow. Are you using this as an opportunity to deal with me?"

"Humph, how dare I," Shen Li snorted as he threw the cotton ball in the trash can. "You are such a powerful woman; will such a little strength of mine hurt you?" As soon as he finished speaking, he once again poured all his anger as he wiped the side of her wound.

"AHHH!"

After Shen Li was done dealing with her wound, Yu Dong felt listless. She stepped out of the house, only to find the boy they had picked up kneeling in front of her house.

"What are you doing?" She hurried forward to help the boy up. The kid had a broken ankle. What was he doing here?

The boy lowered his head and kowtowed in front of Yu Dong before saying, "Thank you so much, Madam. You have saved my life and I don’t know how to thank you for the grace that you have shown me."

The boy thought that he was going to die there. He was trapped in that village for more than three weeks and there was no way out for him to escape. Just when he thought that he was going to lose his life, he was rescued by Yu Dong and Wu Junfen. If these two women had not helped him, then even if the villagers were gone, he would have starved to death in the shed.

"Get up; there is no need for you to thank me. Just remember this small gratitude that we have shown you in your heart."

The boy nodded with tears in his eyes. He wiped his cheeks and sniffed, "I will."

He bowed once again before turning around and walking away with a sturdy stick.

Yu Dong watched the boy leave with heartache on her face and shook her head. She turned around and headed back inside the house when she heard Chen Mi say, "If you are hungry, come inside. Don’t stay out at such an hour."

He was filled with heartache when he thought about how Yu Dong had run around the entire day on an empty stomach. He sighed and said to her, "If you have anything else to do first, eat something."

Yu Dong was also quite hungry so she agreed and returned inside, where she sat down at the dining table and started gobbling her meal down.

"You should eat more." Though Chen Mi was angry, he was quite heartbroken when he saw Yu Dong eat as if she had been starving for ages. His wife should have lived a proper life without any worries and yet she not only had to worry about their village; even the officials were relying on her.

It was simply too much… Sigh, he couldn’t understand how things were turning around in this way.

Chen Mi made a giant pot of pork belly with rice. And they only ate half of it while Yu Dong finished the rest herself. But even after that, she felt hungry, causing Chen Mi to bring out the chicken soup that Xiao Hua brought for Yu Dong earlier in the morning.

However, because Xiao Hua’s cooking was far from decent, he didn’t bring this bowl of soup for Yu Dong to drink. But seeing how she was hungry enough to stare at the snacks that the children had, he sighed and pushed the bowl of soup in front of her.

"Here, drink it."

And Yu Dong was hungry enough to finish the bowl of soup that was placed in front of her, even though it was filled with salt.

At the same time, a mer was crying in front of the Qiao family house. He was kneeling in front of the door with his hair in a mess. He couldn’t understand how the entire situation turned into a mess like this? He was calmly sipping on his bone broth soup when he found out that suddenly a bunch of guards broke into his room and dragged him out.

Shu Ying was shocked and surprised when it happened, and he immediately tried to get away from those guards. Even when he screamed and shouted, none of them was willing to hear a thing. They all pushed and pulled until he was thrown out of the house and that wasn’t all; they even threw away the things that he brought with him!

Even Fan Jiu was not responding to him when he asked that spirit for help!

Afraid and helpless, he returned to his natal home. Shu Ying thought that his mother would be of some help to him but who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at his natal home, he would find it ransacked!

It turned out that Qiao Sha not only broke through the charm that Fan Jiu had placed on her but she also remembered the things that he had made her do, causing her to be so furious that she attacked his family without caring about anything in the slightest.

His mother was a fourth-ranking official but she was kicked out of her position and even the old corruption reports were dug out. Once these cases were pulled out, there was little to nothing that they could do.

Even his eldest sisters were pulled out of their homes and thrown in prison. Their illegal activities of running a brothel were not only found but also presented in front of the Yamen.

With Qiao Sha pushing the case higher and higher and suppressing the Yamen officers to punish his family, the fate of the Shu family was set in stone.

So, when he arrived at his mother’s house, she begged and pleaded with him and asked him to go and beg with Qiao Sha.

Shu Ying was naturally afraid and refused. How could he go to the Qiao house and beg Qiao Sha? That woman must hate his guts to bits. If he were to show up in front of her, that woman would skin him alive.

But his mother threatened and said to him that if he did not go to her, then there was no need for him to come with her. After all, their family was on the verge of getting exiled. The news was going to come sooner or later.

So how could she take care of Shu Ying? It was better to get rid of this extra baggage!

When Shu Ying heard the heartless words of his mother, he was filled with heartache but he had no other choice. He could only return to the Qiao house and plead for mercy with Qiao Sha, hoping that the woman would let him off and his family.

But he had been kneeling for more than ten hours and yet he had yet to see even a corner of Qiao Sha’s sleeves.
