Old man Yu could feel his face burning, he wanted to save his face but there was nothing that he could say after all he was the one who said that there was no money in his pockets but at the same time he cursed his wife, it was fine if she saw him taking the pouch of money but why did she have to tell Yu Dong about it? This girl was simply born to go against him, see just because his wife casually mentioned the money pouch, she turned the entire village against him.

In the end, Old man Yu had no other choice but to grit his teeth and confess, ” I did pick up the money pouch but you know it as well Yu Dong, we don’t have much money and your cousin also needs money to study in the academy, with such a thing happening how will we pay money for his studies and save your grandmother as well, why don’t you help our family out this time, I will surely ask your cousin to make it up to you when he becomes an official.”

As for whether or not he will ask Yu Cheng to help Yu Dong, pfft she might as well dream about it.

The villager’s expressions changed and even Village head Gus’ eyes flickered slightly, she didn’t expect Old man Yu to be this ruthless. First, he pushed his wife to hang on to the edge of the roof throughout the entire time when rescue was coming and then he lied that he didn’t have any money in his hands.

When he not only had enough money and space on his roof to take on his wife, it was just that Grandma Yu was no longer as hail as hearty as she was before, she could no longer hit a boar with her bare fist and kill it by twisting its horns, without any weapons. She was simply of no use to the Yu family and therefore she was now at the last of the list of priorities in the heart of Old man Yu, such a calculating mer was really terrifying!

Village head Gu remembered that her husband too liked to get along with Qiu Bai and Old man Yu, her heart shivered as she turned to look at her husband, He Cheung and ruthlessly said, ” If you dare to go look for Old man Yu and Qiu Bai from the Yu family in the future, you either pack up your things and get away from me as far as you can, do not dirty my eyes by pulling such rotten schemes in my house and in case you have learned anything from him and his son in law, you forget them all here and now or else I will break your legs before sending you to your maternal home, let’s see if anyone will dare to marry you then.”

She wasn’t the only one, many other women were saying the same thing to their husbands.

Qiu Bai listened to the chatter of the women who were warning their husbands to stay away from him and his father in law, his face turned bright red and he immediately cursed his father-in-law for being too stupid, these things should be planned carefully not shoddily like this and then he would call him a stupid, at least his act of poisoning Yu Dong’s husbands wasn’t known to the public nor was he exposed like this.

Even Madam Yu frowned, she really found it too embarrassing. Not only was she already getting questioning glares from the villagers her daddy went ahead and made another mess, now what were they going to do?

Yu Dong wanted to smack the old man in his face but she suppressed that one really violent urge of hers and then calmly said, ” Grandma Yu is not asking for all the money, she said that her daughter has given you enough money and there is Yu Tong’s share as well, she is just asking her share of the money that she got after selling the rice that she sowed in the fields, I don’t think that she is asking for too much after all everyone wants to live and no one wants to die.”

Her words caused many women to nod their heads as they all looked at Old man Yu and said one after another.

” That’s right, old man Yu. There is nothing wrong with madam Yu asking for her own money for saving her life, you can’t be that much of a miser can you?”

” Exactly, she is not doing anything wrong by asking for the money that she has earned by herself, your daughter earns so much you don’t need to hold onto a few taels do you?”

” In fact even if Grandma Yu was asking for more money you should give to her, after all, she is your wife and your daughter’s mother, and the least you can do is be filial to her, what do you say third daughter Yu?”

One by one the villagers spoke in support of grandma Yu but taking money out of Old man Yu’s pocket was equal to asking a dragon to take out his treasure, the money as long as it was in his pockets was his, what money belonged to his wife, what belonged to his granddaughter? Every single bit of money belonged to him. It was in his pocket then it means that it was his! No one was allowed to touch it!

And it wasn’t wrong of him to refuse to give it either, after all his wife has never cared about him or the children he has given birth to her, she has always adored that bitch’s daughter and Yu Dong, so it was simply right for Yu Dong to take care of her!
