nQiu Bai wasn't the only one who was stunned even the village head, Xu Muan was stunned as well. Previously, Yu Dong lived a life full of debauchery, whenever she saw the latter either Yu Dong was drunk until her senses were completely muddled or she was teasing and flirting with the mers of the village. Xu Muan still couldn't forget how many complaints she got regarding Yu Dong harassing the mers of the village.

nWith her messy lifestyle and hooligan like behaviour, Yu Dong hardly ever cared about her looks. She never washed because bathing meant burning firewood, and collecting firewood was the responsibility of the woman of the house, such hard tasks if given to mers, it became the talk of the village. Of course, it wasn't like she didn't order Shen Li and Ye Liu to bring firewood from the forest she did if Chen Mi wasn't pregnant she would have sent him too.

nBut only a day went by after Ye Liu and Shen Li brought the firewood and she was condemned by the entire village until she couldn't lift her head. In the end, she relieved her anger by beating both Ye Liu and Shen Li, all the while cursing a begging Chen Mi to let his brothers off. But after that, she didn't ask her husbands to bring firewood but she was too lazy to chop some wood herself and she was scared to go to the forest so she completely stopped bathing and asked Ye Liu and the others to do the same.

nIt clearly said that if they wanted to bathe then they would have to wash themselves by fetching water from the well. She ordered Shen Li and the others to bathe with cold water but couldn't bear to do the same. In the end, she stopped cleaning herself and her appearance became messy and disgusting.

nAnyone who saw her would think that she was a beggar from the town if not for her clean clothes. When had Xu Xuan seen Yu Dong looking so clean and fresh, where was her dirt covering her face? Where was her Matted hair?

nThis heroine looking woman was actually Yu Dong? How can this be?

n

" You are Yu Dong ?

" Xu Xuan couldn't stop herself from asking, she had never seen Yu Dong looking so beautiful before and was shocked until the point of oblivion.

n

"Or else who can I be ?

" asked Yu Dong though she knew why the village head was asking this question, she really didn't want to remember her past dark history and acted in a rather forceful manner so that the village head wouldn't continue asking.

nHer plan worked, now that Yu Dong has a clean appearance, her features that greatly resembled her father could be put to better use. A single glance from those sharp phenoixe eyes was enough to make Xu Xuan shut up.

n

" It's good that you are here

" after the initial shock passed, Qiu Bai was no longer as shocked as before. Though he was envious he knew there was nothing he could do, both his sister in law and her husband were good looking just as it was said that a child of a tiger couldn't be a pup, similarly a child to two good looking people couldn't be ugly until the child didn't belong to them.

n

" I am here to ask for your help,

" said Qiu Bai brazenly, though Yu Dong's clean appearance shocked him. In his eyes, Yu Dong was a dog who couldn't change her spots, so what if she was responsible and was now living a normal life? She was still Yu Dong as long as this woman was Yu Dong, there was no chance of her fixing her wrong ways and getting rid of her bad habits

" as you know that the harvesting season is coming, and our family really can't harvest all the grains that we sowed in the early spring. Your sister is busy looking for work in the town and your brother is busy with his studies, even your aunt is busy with her job. I can not harvest the wheat all by myself, so why don't you send your husbands to help me ?

"

nQiu Bai thought that as long as he mentioned Yu Cheng just like Yu Tong, Yu Dong would agree. Of course, the Yu Dong he knew would have but this Yu Dong, sorry not possible.

nListening to Qiu Bai's suggestion Yu Dong had no reaction except thinking that this person was really shameless. If she wasn't wrong Qiu Bai was the one who hopped around like he had ants in his pants when the original host's parents died, he kept cursing and calling the original owner and her husbands as good for nothing and freeloaders completely forgetting that he was the one who was freeloading in reality. The magnificent house that the Yu family was living in belonged to Yu Dong's mother and was built with the original owner's mother's money.

nPreviously, Yu Dong didn't concern with the Yu family matter because she just wanted to live her life peacefully and had no reason to find trouble with the Yu family to bring justice to the original owner after all the original Yu Dong wasn't any good either. But if the Yu family came to find trouble with her then she wasn't easy to bully person either.

n

" help? You want our help to harvest your fields ?

" asked Yu Dong with an expression that showed that she was thinking about Qiu Bai's request seriously.

nShen Li cast her a glance but didn't say anything, after staying together with Yu Dong for so long he knew that she wasn't a soft persimmon either. So he didn't say anything, Ye Liu was the same though he didn't trust Yu Dong as much as Shen Li, he knew that his wife was a changed person now. She was trying her best t treat them nicely and was working hard to gain their trust, with her actions it didn't look like she would agree to Qiu Bai's request. And if she did humph, he would never trust on her again! Even if meant to suffer.

n

" that's right,

" said Qiu Bai with a voice that was filled with authority, as if Yu Dong and others were his servants and it was only right for them to agree with his requests

"its not too much work, just ten mus of land nothing much

"

n' just ten mus? This man really can speak whatever he wants, five mus of the land took her entire morning and that was when she had her cheat trick, yet this man shamelessly added the word 'just ' before ten mus? Was he trying to kill her husbands ?'

n

" It's not impossible for us to help you

"began Yu Dong and Qiu Bai's eyes lit up at once, seeing he knew that he could still control Yu Dong. This girl was always afraid of angering him, after all, he was Yu Cheng's beloved father if he got angry then she wouldn't get any advantage over Yu Cheng not that she will get an advantage even now but at least he was willing to coax her, it can be counted as giving in right? However, before his smile could even form properly he heard Yu Dong say

" so should we discuss how much grains you are going to give us ?

"

n

" grains? What grains?

"Startled Qiu Bai blurted out

n

" you will have to give grains for the work we will do for you. I know your miser like nature and know that it's impossible for you to fork out money, that's why you will pay us by grains right ?

" asked Yu Dong she was leaning on the hoe that she put down on the ground like it was a cane supporting her but despite her lazy attitude and soft tone, Qiu Bai felt a chilliness surrounding him that has nothing to do with the cold weather!
