nThe village was swept by flood and many villagers’ houses were destroyed as for their savings, it was better to not even talk about it. Even if they had some money saved it wasn’t going to be of any help to them after all was the flood going to be the end? Of course not! The last time something like this happened, the terrible conditions dragged on for at least three months and the prices of grains were even higher than gold and silver.

nIn such a condition, where will they get the money to buy a new mer and marry him? Once the flood gets over they will have a hard time staying alive, in such situations, it was better for the women to have their husbands and children helping them out, if not then they can slowly wait to die! What was more letting the mers and children die in such conditions will affect the situation of the village as well, she as a village head was responsible for every life as long as the women were with her she would be able to make sure that they were able to survive these dire conditions but what was she going to do with the mers and children? They would not be able to survive in the wild.

nHer gaze skimmed over the mers and children who were trembling because of the cold and her heart hardened even more with determination. She really couldn’t let the mers follow her and the women, they were used to working in the harsh conditions and might be able to get through these conditions without any trouble but the mers and those frail kids they wouldn’t be able to withstand the chill, the village doctor was also caught up in the neighbouring village if someone caught a cold or fever then she might as well ask the villagers to dig a grave for them.

n” I have decided the mers will follow, Yu Dong with their kids.. and the women will be following me,” Village Head Gu might not be the most honest village head that Big Mountain village has seen but she was rational enough to make the correct decisions when the situations called for it.

nThe village head was the one who came up with this decision, even if the women felt like they were getting the shorter end of the stick, there was nothing they could do about it, they did not dare to go against the Village head directly, in the end even if they wanted to refuse they could only suck it up and cast angry glances at Yu Dong who wasn’t willing to take them with her.

nThe matter was as simple as sparing just a mouthful of ration to them but Yu Dong had to act like a miser, she just needed to spare them a little and yet… she was not willing for even that much! How can she be like this?

nBut the village head has already spoken and there was nothing that the women could do about it.

nAh Cy glanced around at the women who weren’t saying anything and cursed them for being too cowardly. It was just a simple matter, as long as they showed a united front it wasn’t as if Yu Dong and the village head would be able to refuse them. Seeing that the villagers were not saying anything she could only bite the bullet and say, “But village head we can’t let the mers and children follow Yu Dong, I mean she might have been on her best behaviour these past months but with so many mers under her wing, who knows what might happen? I am not doubting her but it will still be not good for the mers, especially unmarried ones to follow her, isn’t that right? Even my brother is with Yu Dong now, I am a bit worried since he is a special case, that’s why I think it will be better for some women to follow Yu Dong as well.”

nShe couldn’t care less about the mers nor did she care about her idiotic brother but she had to get hold of her opportunity and go with Yu Dong, as much as she hated Yu Dong, she had to admit that the woman was smart and always knew what she was doing if she had a hideout somewhere in this forest then surely she might have been prepared for this flood, if she was to go with her then she might be able to get past this calamity without any trouble!

n” That woman really knows no shame!” Aunt Wang had seen how Ah Cy has ruthlessly beaten her brother when they were rescuing him and now that she wanted to go to their hideout, she was suddenly worried about her brother?

nWu Junfen also frowned, though she hasn’t seen Ah Cy beating her brother up, she has already heard about the matter from Aunt Wang long ago. However, unlike Aunt Wang who thought that Ah Cy was shameless, Wu Junfen knew just how smart Ah Cy was being, she was using a very wise tactic to get a free pass to Yu Dong’s hideout. Yu Dong might have replaced the original owner of the body but she was never able to get rid of the stains that were left behind by the original owner, as long as her past was dug out Yu Dong will always have a tail that can be caught at any time.

nSure enough once Ah Cy questioned the stay of only mers and children at Yu Dong’s place many other voices of discontent rose causing Yu Dong and Village head Gu to frown.

nThese women, they sure were annoying.
