nShe pointed at the big space that was free of rainwater and could be used as shelter and said, ” I didn’t expect to save so many people and that’s why I don’t have much space in the tree house, this is the only spot that can accommodate you all. If you want then you can stay here and if not then you can leave and look for the other villagers, in case you think that you will find this shelter uncomfortable.”

n” Of course not,” said one of the women as she carefully looked around the dry patch of land that was under Yu Dong’s tree house, they all knew that Yu Dong’s hideout might not be able to accommodate all of them, a few of them like her were even thinking that they will have to stay in the rain because of the lack of space getting this big patch of dry land with a roof over their head was already good enough.

nThe woman turned to look at Yu Dong and carefully said, ” This place is good enough with the veils covering the entire ground, the cold wind from the ocean can’t enter and with the roof over our heads we don’t have to worry about getting wet either, this is better than we expected.”

nOriginally, they thought that Yu Dong’s hideout was nothing but a small cave or something along the line and with so many people already staying in her hideout, there was a possibility that they all would have been squeezed out after all Yu Dong, no matter how nice she was she wouldn’t have given them the space that belonged to her family right? In the end, they would have been pushed out in the rain but now that they knew that Yu Dong’s hideout wasn’t a cave but a tree house, they felt all their worries slowly leaving them.

nThe future was no longer as dark as they thought it was.

nYu Dong knew the woman who was speaking to her, if she wasn’t wrong this woman was called Aunt Zhu and she was a relative of the Wu family, no wonder she had a smart head on her shoulders.

nSeeing that under Aunt Zhu’s lead no one was saying anything Yu Dong nodded and said, ” There is some dry hay behind the tree stump, if you find staying on the grass, that is still wet from the morning dew, you all can spread that hay over it and take a spot, I will send some mammies and they will create a partition in between, I don’t want any trouble happening while you all are living with me, so even if you are husbands and wives please do try to not cross the partition and stay in your zone, all right?”

nYu Dong hasn’t forgotten what Ah Cy has said, even though she had no ill intent towards the mers, they were indeed a lot of unmarried mers in the group, if something unfortunate was to happen to them then even if she split her mouth into two she would not be able to explain to their families and in all honesty, she didn’t want any more trouble, with her husbands return and Xiao Hua’s matters she was already busy enough. So, it was better to take precautions from the very beginning.

n” Dong Dong is right, we will be setting up a barricade between the entire space and make sure that no one would be able to enter the other side, if the husbands want to say something to their wives then they better call their wives out of the ivy veils lest something happens,” Wu Junfen chimed in and told the villagers off sternly. ” I do not wish to see Dong Dong into any trouble, I won’t ask you all to be grateful to her for your entire life but at least make sure that while you all are staying here you do not make a mess and in case if there are any lovers here, you all better stay away from each other, I don’t want you all taking advantage of the situation and trying to get cosy if I find out that someone without any betrothal or marriage is getting chummy, I swear I will beat you to the ground and then throw you and your lover out of the shelter, you hear me? And don’t think I won’t be able to find out, we have so many mammies here, we will certainly find out what is going on all right?”

nAs soon as Wu Junfen’s words fell the mers and their lovers immediately turned to look at each other before looking away, they indeed had some plans to get cosy with each other but after being warned by Wu Junfen they did not there to do anything. They will be able to meet even after this calamity was over but in case they were thrown out of this shelter then they will have a lot of trouble coming their way. First off they wouldn’t only be kicked out of their safe house but their families will also come to find out about them, if that happened then what will they do? It was better to not act up while staying here because neither Yu Dong nor Wu Junfen were women they can deal with.
