Yu Dong knew that the village head Gu was asking her to stay only because she didn’t want to deal with the women of the village alone. But she too wanted to see whether she would be able to find something while interacting with the women of the village or not which was why she was willing to stay back.

” All right, I will stay with you.” Yu Dong replied causing Village head Gu to heave a sigh of relief, the latter was thinking that Yu Dong was showing her face by agreeing to stay behind but only Yu Dong knew that the only reason she was staying behind was that she wanted to find the culprit behind the situation.

” I will go and call the women of the village then,” Mother Qui said as she looked at village head Gu and Yu Dong, she did want to say something more but she knew that it will only backfire on her.

Seeing the hesitating expression on mother Qui’s face, Yu Dong knew that she was still doubting her and narrowed her eyes in annoyance. This was seriously too infuriating, because women like Mother Qui, she wanted to move out of the village.

Mother Qui took one last glance at the corpse of her son and then walked down the cliff before walking towards the cave where the women were resting. The cliff where the mers were buried wasn’t too far from the cave, it didn’t take long for mother Qui to reach the cave as she looked at the women of the village who seemed to be discussing something, she was indeed a bit suspicious of Yu Dong but her son was a good looking mer and because of this there were many women who were willing to marry her but as a mer who was proud of his beauty, he has rejected a lot of women.

Then there were a lot of women who must have been upset with him right?

” Madam Qui, you are here?” He Cheung’s sister-in-law Gu Li raised her head and looked at Madam Qui who was walking back to the cave with a heavy expression. ” What’s the matter with you? Why are you looking so upset like that?”

Earlier He Cheung was scolded by his wife a lot and was even crying which was why Gu Li was busy coaxing her brother in law trying to make him calm down, the two of them did not want others to hear their conversation which was why they were sitting outside the cave on small boulders sticking out of the ground. So when mother Qui came walking towards the cave, Gu Li was the first one to see her coming, even He Cheung raised his head and wiped his red teary eyes as he looked at mother Qui.

” Madam Qui what is the matter why are you looking like that?” Seeing that madam Qui was looking a bit unwell after seeing his wife, He Cheung couldn’t help but worry. What was happening? One after another things seem to be popping up, what were they supposed to do?

Madam Qui didn’t answer their questions instead she turned to the cave and said, ” Village head called the women of the village up the cliff, you all need to come with me something serious has happened.”

” Something serious, what?” He Cheung was indeed upset that Madam Qui didn’t answer him but when he heard that something serious has happened again, he couldn’t care less about Madam Qui ignoring him, instead, he hurriedly questioned madam Qui again.

But madam Qui was told not to tell anyone about the matter, so she shook her head and said, ” Village head has asked me not to tell anyone anything about this matter, she just asked me to bring all the women up the mountain where she is waiting for them.”

” You… I am her husband! You can tell me what is the matter!” He Cheung has been rather touchy after being slapped and scolded by his wife, he wanted to complain but he couldn’t do anything and as she was his wife, even his sister-in-law couldn’t say anything, it was only now done she was trying to calm him after his wife left him alone.

” I know that you are the village head’s husband but there are some things that cannot be told to you, brother He, please forgive me for being presumptuous.” Madam Qui was worried that the women of the village will refuse in case they were to find out why she was calling them, which was she had no other choice but to call them to the mountain without telling them about what has happened.

” How dare you…” He Cheung wanted to scold Madam Qui was acting like this in front of him but he was stopped by Gu Li who patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s all right brother in law, I will come back and let you know about this big secret. You know that sister wouldn’t do this if the matter wasn’t serious please be a bit considerate of sister, all right?”

Gu Li was the pessimist of the family, she would always try to diffuse the situation as long as she could, seeing that He Cheung was once again going to blow up, she immediately calmed him down lest her sister was troubled.

He Cheung was unhappy but he knew that Gu Li was right which was why he willingly shut his mouth and then turned his head to glare at Madam Qui, he will let this matter go for now but he will definitely make this woman pay for all her cheekiness one day. He was the husband of the village head damn it, they couldn’t treat him like this!

The women were also very confused, they couldn’t understand why were they being called up on the mountain but seeing how the village head was the one calling them and Madam Qui looked all stern and serious, they rose from their places and followed after her.
