Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 67 - Take Responsibility

Of course, Ye Liu didn't dare to say anything, instead, he silently followed Yu Dong back home with a sullen expression but didn't tell her why he was upset. In the end, Yu Dong could only leave him be and leave for Mu Xuan's house, she discussed it with Shen Li and Chen Mi, the two of them agreed at once unlike Ye Liu.

In Shen Li's view, it was good to have a few rooms built as well as the current rooms being repaired. In the future, he and Ye Liu might need separate rooms for privacy reasons and maybe they might even have kids in the future, for the sake of having kids, it was necessary to do some future planning and build some extra rooms in case the house becomes overcrowded.

Chen Mi didn't think of so far in the future instead, he thought that it was good to have their rooms renovated. Because his roof still had a few holes in it and was broken from here and there sometimes the room would get really cold at night. Though he and Yu Mai cuddled little bun together to not let him get cold it was still better to have the roof repaired to end the entire trouble.

After discussing it with her mers, Yu Dong visited Mu Xuan and told her that she wanted to get her house repaired, and she would be appreciative of Mu Xuan if the latter spread the word around the village and help her hire some villagers.

But Mu Xuan turned her down flatly on the pretext that the villagers were busy with their autumn harvest and won't have time to take care of Yu Dong's business.

" Are you sure, that no one will agree ?" Yu Dong understood why Mu Xuan was refusing her but it was still unbelievable to her, Mu Xuan was the head of the village! She should help each and every villager of hers no matter what kind of person they were!

Mu Xuan was critical of Yu Dong, even if the latter changed for good, who knows if she goes mad halfway while the other villagers were working and started attacking their mers while they brought food for their wives. What then? So Mu Xuan refused without even thinking about it.

She caught Yu Dong's sarcastic glance and felt indignant but still said resolutely " you know that I can't hire people with your fame no one would be willing to work for you " so there was no need to look at her like that! The way Mu Xuan spoke was full of confidence as if she was greatly assured that nothing would change the mind of Her villagers.

" fine" Yu Dong was not someone who wasted her time on useless things, she only came to ask for Mu Xuan's help because she didn't want the villagers to call her ungrateful or unfriendly in case she hires people from another village. She didn't like anyone poking in her business, the reason she asked for Mu Xuan's help was simple, she didn't want anyone to interfere once the construction of her house began! " I won't ask you to hire the villagers anymore but in case I think I should give you a heads up after I hire people from somewhere else, I will not give the job of construction to anyone from our village. Because if I do that then I will be going against what I promised the others, so just in case things goes south, I would like it if you can step up and clear it for the villagers that it wasn't me who didn't hire them but you who refused to spread the word, will this much be okay?" 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Mu Xuan was amused by Yu Dong's confidence. She couldn't believe that the woman who never left a chance to curry favour with her was now giving her an ultimatum! How very daring of her! Mu Xuan waved her hand and said carelessly " fine, fine if the villagers create trouble for you which is highly unlikely, I will step up is that alright? "

Her tone was sarcastic and filled with contempt but Yu Dong didn't say anything. She would love to see how long Mu Xuan can stay arrogant! After all money talks! The amount she would pay her workers wasn't small and she would even give them a good meal after they finish working in the afternoon, let's see who will be able to resist this temptation! When she thought it like this Yu Dong wasn't angry at all, in fact, she was looking forward to how Mu Xuan will clear up the mess she made today.

" the village head refused to help us right ?" this was the first thing Shen Li said after Yu Dong returned, her expression was so full of annoyance that no one at home needed to ask anything.

" right, she said that the villagers are all busy and cannot take time off to help us" actually what Mu Xuan said was much worse but she didn't want to tell such upsetting things to her mers and make them feel bad for her, so she didn't bother telling them the truth " it's alright, I can always hire labour from the town, it's not like we don't have money. "

" my mother-"

" what?" asked Yu Dong when Chen Mi didn't finish what he was saying.

" my mother is a relatively good mason, and my sisters are good as well," said Chen Mi his voice so low that Yu Dong could barely hear it. Oh right! How can she forget this! Chen Mi was the only one who wasn't sold by his family but instead his cousin sister!

Two years ago when Chen Mi's mother and daddy together with his sisters went for work in the next village. His cousin sister kidnapped Chen Mi and sold him to a human trafficker because she owed a debt to one of the usuries in the town. Chen Mi's parents never wanted to sell their son despite him being a mer but they were too unlucky by the time they found out where Chen Mi was, he had already lost his virginity mark and could no longer be redeemed.

Chen Mi's parents were broken-hearted and when they realised what kind of person Yu Dong was they practically wanted to steal Chen Mi and take him away but Yu Dong created a fuss saying that if they ever came near Chen Mi, she would send him back to his maternal family in chopped pieces! That was why the Chen family never dared to come and look for Chen Mi ever again.

" ah she did that too, huh" sighed Yu Dong rubbing her forehead, her frustration with the previous owner keeps on escalating day by day. But this wasn't the time to be frustrated! Yu Dong inhaled a sharp breath and asked Chen Mi" will they be willing to come? I mean after what she did is it likely that they will come to help us ?"

Chen Mi glanced at Yu Dong and smiling replied " my parents treat me well, they would definitely come if I ask them to, I will also mention about Little bun, just in case - if not for my sake they will definitely come for little bun's sake"

Though Chen Mi's idea was a little sneaky and Yu Dong felt she was taking advantage of her son but she still nodded as she had no other choice, hiring labours from town would be really expensive and she wouldn't be at ease leaving strangers in charge of her house while she went to the fields, it was still better to have their acquaintance do it " alright, send them a letter ask them to come and help us, it will be fine if they came within a week"

That was what she said but who would have known that after receiving Chen Mi's letter her in-laws would come knocking on her door just a day later!

Help! How should she treat her in-laws? She wasn't ready for receiving them yet!
