nYu Dong of course knew that too, she looked at Gu Ke Xin and nodded her head, ” I know but I would rather take a little less than face a bigger one.”

n” A bigger one?”Gu Ke Xin frowned parroting Yu Dong.

n” That’s right, you might think that the flood is the only disaster that we will be facing?” Yu Dong glanced at Gu Ke Xin and when she saw that the young girl really thought the flood was the only biggest damage, she shook her head at her naivety and said, ” The biggest disaster is not the flood but its aftermath, the food prices will rise and the yamen officers wouldn’t be able to take reign of the law and order. In such a situation the mers will be in the most danger, we can’t leave them to take care of the customers for the sake of a small monetary benefit, if we were to do so then who is going to take responsibility lest something unfortunate befalls on them?”

nWhen the apocalypse hit the modern world, she and her family were completely unprepared. It was a disaster that she has never faced, it was as if she had lost everything in just a moment——the world she lived in was a difficult place to stay but after the apocalypse hit them, it became completely unfit for human survival. Things became so worse that people who once worked in respectable positions started to steal and there was a sudden spike in cannibalism. It was safe to say that things might not become as bad as the time in the apocalypse but why should she take such a risk?

nWith the flood surging and destroying their house, people will definitely think that they were going to die, given that the sea not only surrounded the village from one side but instead almost covered half the town as well. In such situations there was a chance that people will let go of the last shred of their humanity, she didn’t want her workers to suffer in such a case.

n” I understand,” Though Gu Ke Xin didn’t understand why Yu Dong was taking so many precautions but there was no need for them to worry, their bar was doing well even if they were to close it for a few weeks, they will be able to keep a steady pace when they open again. ” I will go and bring the mers to the village by evening.”

nYu Dong let out a hum before she sent both Mammy An and Gu Ke Xin out of the house.

nAs she returned Fang Chi’s attention was attracted by the dust marks on her sleeves, he frowned as he wiped his hands on the cloth that was tied around his waist before he walked to Yu Dong and clasping her arms, he looked at the marks on her sleeves with his brows furrowed as he asked, ” What’s this? Why are you looking like this? How did you get these marks?”

nYu Dong knew that the news of her going to the Village head Gu wasn’t something she would be able to hide from Fang Chi, in fact, he might find it by the evening given how fast news travelled in the village. So, she told him all about what went between her and He Cheung after she finished telling him what happened between the two, Fang Chi’s eyes turned red as he angrily pursed his lips. In fact, he would have barged outside and fought with He Cheung if Yu Dong didn’t stop him, ” Hey wait..where are you going? There is no point in fighting with him.”

n” How can you let bygones be bygones? He hit you with a broom, aren’t you angry?” Fang Chi was surprised that Yu Dong was this calm, in fact, he was so furious that he was almost grinding his teeth because of that mer. His wife went to his out of goodwill how dare he hit her with a broom? See, if he doesn’t break his hands the next time Fang Chi sees him.

nYu Dong was stunned by the angry expression on Fang Chi’s face, as far as she knew, this was the first time she saw him this angry. For a few minutes, she just looked at him before her mouth curled up into a smile as she said, ” Why are you angry at him like that?”

n” Why won’t I be angry? That old man hit you with a broom when all you did was warn him out of the goodness of your heart! I can’t believe that he actually beat you up like that! And you why didn’t you fight back? You should have beaten him right back and scolded him until he couldn’t raise his head in front of you, why did you just let him hit you? And now you are going to just swallow your anger is that it?” Fang Chi couldn’t help but yell, since when did his wife’s temper improve so much?

nHow can she let go of He Cheung, even after when he went this far?

n” You don’t have to worry about him,” Yu Dong smiled as she patted Fang Chi’s arm and brought him back inside the house, she helped him sit down on a chair and poured a cup of water for him before handing it to him as she further added, ” I am not that good of a person, I let him go now so that he will suffer twice in the future.”
