Chapter 518: Crab hot pot

Grandma Yu of course wouldn’t want to make things difficult for Yu Dong, so she could only helplessly agree with Yu Dong’s arrangement but she still asked Yu Dong to cover her face with a cloth piece and not go closer to Fang Chi or Little bun without taking a bath.

Yu Dong tried to explain to her that she wouldn’t get sick even if she did not take care of such things what was more her family was nourished by spiritual water there was no need for her to be worried about them getting sick either but grandma Yu was just as stubborn as Yu Dong, she would not let Yu Dong take care of her without proper measures, in the end, Yu Dong has to agree that she will do as grandma Yu was asking and then turned around to walk out of the room.

After she walked out of the room, she went to the kitchen and boiled some water for grandma Yu and then returned to the room with the bowl of warm water because she has promised grandma Yu that she wouldn’t get close to little bun without taking a wash, she didn’t let little bun get closer to her and asked Chen Mi to take him to their room, she told Chen Mi about Grandma Yu’s condition and asked him to take care of little bun.

Though she was sure that neither of them was going to catch a fever, it was never bad to be cautious.

Yu Dong dipped the cloth in warm water and wiped grandma Yu’s body carefully making sure that it will be able to lower the temperature of grandma Yu’s body. Grandma Yu saw that Yu Dong was taking care of her as if she was her daughter and couldn’t help but feel touched, every time she caught sick, even her husband would leave her alone only sending a bunch of medicinal herbs to her room, saying that they didn’t have much money on their hands, though Grandma Yu didn’t say anything she felt disheartened every time she heard her husband make all sort of excuses when it came to treating her.

She understood that her grandson’s studies were important but were they so important that her life would be placed on line? Now that she saw Yu Dong taking care of her so sincerely. If there was no comparison then it wouldn’t hurt that bad but once there was something to be compared with, the previous sufferings would start hurting even more.

She and Old man Yu has been married for so long and yet the mer was only worried about losing his title as the grandfather of an official, if it has been her second husband, he would have fought with the world to take care of her. If he was alive, he would have never left her to suffer like this surely Yu Dong inherited the blood of her grandfather, compared to her, her daughter couldn’t be even compared. That heartless girl, after becoming a worker in the city, she hasn’t been taking care of her at all, in fact, it felt as if she couldn’t care less about her mother, she has thoroughly inherited the blood of her father.

After all, blood never lies!

Yu Dong helped grandma Yu change her clothes and then she walked out of the room, she could, of course, give grandma Yu some of the egg drop soup but at the same time she couldn’t help but think that it wouldn’t be enough, grandma Yu and Yu Tong were so skinny that she could see that their days in the Yu family was not good at all.

And what was more, she turned to look at the barrel that was filled with red, glistening crabs and swallowed. Even though she has been storing these crabs for a long time she hasn’t gotten a chance to taste them properly maybe she should make use of this chance and cook something really good with them? After all the crabs were only exclusive to her family.

“Let’s do this!” She rolled her sleeves and decided to make a crab porridge. It would be such a waste if these things became bad before she got a chance to taste the legendary red king crab!

“What are you doing?” Shen Li who has been asleep till now finally woke up and because he was thoroughly nourished by his wife’s love, he looked rather glowing making Yu Dong smile. ” I am cooking a crab hot pot along with some crab porridge.”

” Crab?” Shen Li mused as he looked at the barrel in which water was sloshing. When he saw the dangerous red thing that was flailing madly, he took a step back and looked at Yu Dong with hesitation. ” Are you sure that it can be eaten?”

Yu Dong wore her gloves that she made from the boar skin and nodded. ” Not only we can eat it, but it is also really delicious and nourishing to eat, you will surely like it.”

Shen Li didn’t think that he would like anything that was something that monstrous but he still nodded and watched as Yu Dong took care of the crab and then turned to look at the dried seaweed, leek, cabbage, fish, tofu and mushrooms.

Before he rolled his sleeves and started to wash the vegetables, since Yu Dong was preparing something good for them to eat, he couldn’t just sit on the side and watch her do it.

Yu Dong didn’t say anything to Shen Li, she knew that now that he was up, there was no point in stopping him. He wasn’t like Chen Mi who can loaf around for hours, he was someone who has to work no matter what, and he can never stay put.

She finished washing the crab after he was done handling it, by the time she was done, Shen Li has already chopped and cleaned the vegetables and even placed them aside.

” Now what?” Shen Li asked as he looked at Yu Dong who picked up the fish and started taking care of it.

Yu Dong drained the blood from the fish and smiled at Shen Li with a sly glint in her eyes. ” Now wait and watch the magic. I bet you will get pregnant with this dish!”

” What kind of horrible dish is that!” Shen Li’s eyes widened as he looked at the crab thing.

“Oh jeez, I mean you will stuff yourself!”
