nYu Dong never wanted to marry anyone again. She was happy, she was contented and she only wanted a small family with one kid each from her three husbands but the main reason she didn't want to get married again was -

nChen Mi stop clicking your tongue and stop sucking and biting your lips like you have just eaten a sour lemon, it's terrifying! Your expression - your expression is totally terrifying!!

nYe Liu don't look like that - don't stand still like a statue! Don't - just don't and stop with these whirling eyes of yours, I can see after images of your irises! That's scary!

nAnd Shen Li, don't hang your head like that. I haven't abandoned you and our baby on the streets you know? You don't need to look like a divorced woman, you know? You are not going to raise our child alone, you know??????

nWas this..the reason why she didn't want to get married again was this, all along. These husbands of hers were nothing but three big jars of vinegar with ranging sour levels.

" Yu Dong -

" it was autumn now and the air was even colder by the river but Grandma Fang felt as if her body was burning with a newfound hope after the rumours got worse and worse, she thought she will never see her Chi getting married. She was even prepared to work hard enough to leave enough money for her grandson in case he wanted to start afresh somewhere after her death. But never did she think that Yu Dong who was a victim of the villagers' trash talk would take responsibility for her grandson even when she didn't have to

" Yu Dong, you don't - you don't need to, you are not wrong..I, this old woman knows that you have done nothing wrong to let your husbands down, so you don't have to compromise like this, I and Chi will move and start living somewhere else

"

nYu Dong too wanted to stand by the side and not get entangled in this mess either. She could of course watch Grandma Fang and Fang Chi leave the village from the sidelines. After all, she has done nothing wrong, but she knew that Grandma Fang didn't have much money with her. She and Fang Chi live in a broken-down hut with the bare minimum.

nAnd they mostly survived on the vegetables that they grew in their backyard. As for a stable income, there was nothing like that, Grandma Fang was a dock worker when she was young and most of her savings were snatched by her unfilial daughters after the death of Fang Chi's mother in the name of treatment and whatnot. Now Grandma Fang relied on her average embroidery skills for earning a decent sum but the embroidery was considered to be the job of mers and which was why hardly anyone gave the embroidery job to Grandma Fang who was a woman and they did that too because they sympathized with Grandma Fang and Fang Chi.

nIf the two left the village, then who knows how will they make do in that strange place and where will they live? Even if they sell their broken-down hut, they wouldn't receive much money out of it. Building a house wasn't cheap and there wasn't even a guarantee that if Fang Chi was to leave this village, he might be able to find a match.

nPlus, if she didn't take responsibility for Fang Chi then maybe even she might have to move away from this village. If she let the grandmother and grandson pair leave, there was a very high chance that the villagers might find trouble with her family.

nSo, even Yu Dong found the entire thing quite similar to forcefully shoving a bride into her house, she had no other choice.

" that's right, Dong Dong! You are not in the wrong here!

" snarled Aunt Wang she slapped her hand in the air as she pointed at Madam Zhang and Madam Li

" the people who are in the wrong are people like them, a total miscreants who have nothing good to do and can't watch anyone do well either. They think that the world owes them something when they are the ones who are born without talents yet yearn to touch the stars! You don't need to create trouble in your happy married life because of such selfish bitches!

"

n

" Who are you calling a selfish bitch ?

" snapped Madam Zhang, her expression full of hate and twisted rage, as she glared at Aunt Wang. Her entire body was trembling with anger, this old woman! She just keeps calling me useless, again and again. Has she forgotten that Yu Dong too was useless in the past? Madam Zhang war full of confidence that one day she too would jump to success like leap and bounds like Yu Dong ( a

/n : haha)

" whoever just barked right now!

" retorted Aunt Wang savagely, having three or four husbands wasn't a big deal. But Yu Dong was a special case! She was so lost in her world just months ago, she nearly died and her family was almost on the verge of losing everything. It was because of a sheer miracle that she was alright and her family was getting back on track, to add in another husband, at this time was completely stupid! And that too when Yu Dong didn't even like him!

nAunt Wang wanted Yu Dong to get married after she was settled well enough, but that was with someone she liked, not because she was coerced into marrying him.

n

" it's alright, Aunt Wang, Grandma Fang

" said Yu Dong as she stepped forward and stood In front of Fang Chi and her husbands

" I do understand that some of it was my fault since I helped Fang Chi in the forest after he was hurt, I have learned a valuable lesson from this, since I made a mistake I will remedy it as well. I will marry Fang Chi and take responsibility for him but

" her not so smiling eyes swiftly glanced at the village as she tilted her head and added

" I do hope no one gets trapped or hurt in the forest from now on, because I will not be saving them anymore. Who knows the next time I help someone, I will have to marry them too. At least Fang Chi is good looking enough but what if someone like Aunt Zhang got hurt - if I have to marry someone like her

" Yu Dong paused and immediately put away her smile and her expression turned serious

" I will burn this whole village down

"

nHer eyes looked serious.
