Chapter 520: Spicy not sweet!
The money was not much but it was her hard work, if knew that Old Yu would be this ruthless towards her, she would have never given him the money. But she was a woman who had no idea how the house was supposed to be run that was why she handed all the money to her husband but that husband turned around and bit her in the back.
There was an old saying —— a day together as husband and wife mean endless devotion for the rest of your lives together. But how was her husband different from those mers who killed their wives for the sake of their property? She was truly disappointed by that mer through and through, from taking her meals to snatching her life! Grandma Yu swore in her head that even if she was to fight till death this time she will take everything back that belonged to her. If old Yu was determined to act cold and ruthless towards her then he couldn’t blame her anymore.
She was no longer able to withstand this husband of hers anymore, when she was young and her second and first husbands were alive she was so sturdy that she could handle a boar with her bare hands but after both of them died one by one, she has lost her vigour and now she was in this situation.
Her two husbands would rather take care of her first who was the pillar of the family first before anyone else, they have even put her before themselves, of course, Grandma Yu have treated them well to the best of her abilities as well or else her third husband wouldn’t have been this jealous of her two husbands.
Even though he was greedy and sneaked an extra spoon of rice into his mouth even going as far as starving her, she never said anything to him.
However this time she was really disappointed. From today onwards she would never be able to tolerate that heartless mer, who knows today for the sake of saving his life he threw her in the chilly water of the flood, tomorrow he might kill her when she was asleep to save a mouthful of rice!
Grandma Yu has been missing her two husbands these days like crazy, if the two of them have been here she would have never suffered like this.
Yu Dong glanced at her grandmother and sighed softly, ” If this is what you want then I will do as you say grandmother but in case the Yu family come here and then what will you do?”
” You don’t have to worry, Dong Dong,” Grandma Yu stretched her hand and patted Yu Dong on the back of her hand. ” I know what I am doing after all adversities proves the sincerity of a relationship and I have seen the cruelty of my husband and the cold attitude of my daughter.”
And it pained her so much that she ended up shedding a few tears when she saw them ruthlessly abandon her in the cold water to be swept away if not for her granddaughters who were filial and still had their grandmother in their hearts, she might be dead by now.
Seeing that her grandmother has decided, Yu Dong didn’t say anything else anymore, she walked out of the room and agreed to see Old man Yu and her second aunt after she was done with her lunch.
She of course wasn’t doing it because she was a glutton but she wasn’t able to eat anything since the morning and now her temper was running a bit high, if she was to go and look for the Yu family when she was feeling so starved, knowing the Yu family’s temperament she might end up beating someone to a pulp.
Something that wasn’t good in a situation like this, so she walked out of the room and entered the small hall where her husbands were crowding around the large bowl of crab hot pot broth that was sizzling merrily on the brazier.
Seeing that their eyes were locked on the large bowl, she smiled and said softly, ” Does it smell good? This is something that I just came up with.”
Chen Mi was the one who was the most enthusiastic about food, he gave Yu Dong a thumbs up and then said jovially, ” It smells so good! I have never seen anything like this before and even though this red thing looks rather fierce, I didn’t think that it would smell this delicious.”
This was something even little bun agreed with his father.
Yu Dong smiled and nodded approvingly at Chen Mi, of course, he could notice the good thing at once glance, She walked to the small table and then motioned for her husbands to take a seat as she sat down on the main chair and started putting all the ingredients including the vegetables and crab in the broth before covering it with a lid and said with a mysterious smile, ” If that smelled good then this is going to smell tantalisingly amazing.”
And she was right, soon a scent that was enough to make their mouths water filled the entire room causing everyone including the children to gulp as Yu Mai stood up on his chair and said, ” Sister is ..is it cooked?”
Yu Dong smiled at his gluttonous appearance and teased him slightly with a smile, ” Wait a little bit, let the meat be cooked thoroughly, only when it’s cooked properly will you be able to taste the goodness of the crab meat. After all, the fruits of patience are always sweet.”
” But sister this broth smells spicy, not sweet!”
