Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 990: Stealing from a concubine.
Chapter 990: Stealing from a concubine.
"Eighty taels?" The woman was so shocked that her mouth dropped to the floor, she looked at Yu Dong with a gaping expression and then said, " But I don't have the money!" If she could save eighty taels then she wouldn't be here asking Yu Dong to hand her some vegetables as charity.
" You can't possibly be asking for the vegetables for free right?" Chen Mi spoke up bluntly from the side as he looked at the woman with a fake shocked expression on his face. " I mean the reason our vegetables taste so good is because we give our all to raise them, you might not know it but my wife takes extreme care while creating the fertilizer for the crops. The fertiliser alone costs us more than ten taels!"
When the woman heard Chen Mi's explanation, her entire face turned stiff. A mere fertilizer costs more than ten taels? What kind of fertilizers were they making?! Did they pour gold or silver inside of it?
The poor woman had no idea that the fertilizer that Yu Dong used was even more expensive than gold and silver as there wasn't another spiritual user like Yu Dong in this world.
Yu Dong did not stop Chen Mi, she was not inexplicably kind to others. Who was this middle-aged woman to her anyway? Why should she help her? Just because her mother was sick? Then there were many vendors whose conditions were even worse than this woman's! If she was to start helping others then how would she earn?
When the middle-aged woman heard Chen Mi's words, she pursed her lips but even so, she did not want to give up. She wanted to ask Yu Dong to sell a bit of fertilizer with her but Ye Liu stopped her by saying, " Dong Dong, I am hungry. We didn't eat anything because we were in a hurry to bring the fresh batch to the town."
Of course, he was lying, ever since their life got better Ye Liu and Chen Mi never missed breakfast but that was something that this middle-aged woman did not know.
" Okay, then let's go," Yu Dong did not refuse Ye Liu, in fact, she also wanted to take a bite before returning to the village.
As this was afternoon, Shen Li must be taking his nap along with the two elderlies at home, she did not want to disturb their rest by going back home.
She looked up at the shining sun which seemed to be a lot hotter than the last year and sighed. The temperature was only going up without coming down, Yu Dong was worried that if Shen Li and the others were to leave the house then they get a heat stroke.
Maybe she should start the plan of digging the wells in the village as soon as possible along with making a few pit stops for villagers to take a nap when they were working on the farms. If only adults worked in the farms it was all right but many villagers dragged their children to work in the farm.
In case any child falls sick due to heat stroke, it will be troublesome.
With that, their entire family left the shop leaving the middle-aged woman to walk out of the shop with a sullen look on her face. The middle-aged woman watched Yu Dong and her husbands climb into the carriage and her expression turned twisted, she spat on the ground and then walked back to her stall while muttering about how selfish Yu Dong and her husbands were and how they deserved to lose everything. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Yu Dong did not care about the middle-aged woman and her curses, she brought Chen Mi and Ye Liu to the Song family restaurant and had them eat a nice meal.
In such hot weather, it was necessary to keep one's stomach full. In case they were to wander around in such a harsh sunlight they were ought to fall sick sooner or later.
The family of three ate and drank until they were full and then asked the rest of the meal to be packed for those who were staying at home.
When they came out of the restaurant, Yu Dong asked Ye Liu and Chen Mi to get inside the carriage as quickly as possible.
However, as soon as she stepped on the small stairs of the carriage, she heard a hoarse voice shout, " Help! Thieves!"
Yu Dong turned to look at the mer who was on the ground while clutching his shoulder that was bleeding. Then her eyes fell on the thieves who were running as quickly as possible. Seeing them run, she immediately chased after the two women while Ye Liu and Chen Mi rushed to help the mer who had fallen on the ground.
" Are you okay?" Chen Mi asked the mer who shook his head and then said in a hoarse voice, " That bag has my entire month's salary, I can't lose it."
Though concubine Jiang was getting better he was still sick! They needed the money to buy those miraculous vegetables from that Bo and Bun shop, if not then Concubine Jiang would die and his wife would never be able to forgive herself.
When Ye Liu heard the mer's words, he immediately shouted after Yu Dong, " Make sure to catch those thieves Dong Dong!"
Of course, Yu Dong was going to catch those thieves, she had heard of two women who were stealing from mers who returned from work or those who came to buy something in the town. They were quite good at creating chaos!
Because of these two women, she had suffered a little as many mers who did not have a servant to protect them did not step out of the house to buy her vegetables. Though it was a small loss, a loss was still a loss!
Now that these two had fallen in her hands, it was better to grab and squeeze them!
The two thieves tried their best to shake Yu Dong off.
They zipped past one street after another but Yu Dong continued chasing after them as if she had an unlimited amount of energy inside her.
" Damn, why is that woman acting all nosy!?" One of the thieves yelped as she looked at Yu Dong who punched one of their teammates in the face and sent her flying when she tried to stop her. " Is she a monster? How can she stay so calm despite being attacked by our group!?"
