Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 75 - [Bonus ] It’s Village Head’s Fault
The next day when the Chen family went to Yu Dong's house, mother Chen was responsible for craving the window in the shape that Yu Dong showed her by drawing on a paper, while Chen Dai and Chen Han were responsible for carrying the bricks to the backyard for building the new room. The bricks were kept outside Yu Dong's house but because of her terrible reputation no one dared to steal them, and even if someone tried to steal them, Yu Dong whose senses were nourished with spiritual energy would hear them and make the thieves run away.
While Chen Dai was helping Chen Han to pick up the bricks, a mer from the village came to stand beside them, then with a furtive look at Yu Dong's house, he whispered " are you two still working for Yu Dong?"
Chen Dai frowned then sent her sister inside, the latter was carrying so many bricks that if she hurt her back? Then she turned to the mer and nodded politely.
Though, Chen Dai knew why this mer came here she couldn't help but feel a bit stupefied. Just how much do the villagers hate Yu Dong? Every day - this was an occurrence of every day now.
" really? Don't you know about Yu Dong?... Look at me what am I even saying? Of course, you know - but, aren't you afraid that she might go violent and hurt you again hmm ?" this mer was named Liu Ni, he was Feng Da Li's husband and had small friction with Ye Liu.
Actually, the matter wasn't that serious - a few months ago while Liu Ni was harvesting wild vegetables, Ye Liu too was there harvesting wild vegetables for his family. And while harvesting, Ye Liu found some edible mushrooms, seeing this Liu Ni rushed to claim that he was the one who saw the mushrooms first but Ye Liu snatched them.
If this happened before Ye Liu wouldn't have fought with Liu Ni and let him have those mushrooms but it happened when Chen Mi was pregnant, at that time Ye Liu was in a pinch, he was in a desperate situation with nothing good to feed Chen Mi, so when he found those mushrooms it was as if he found a blessing. How could he let it go? The matter escalated and Ye Liu and Liu Ni got in a scuffle where Ye Liu beat Liu Ni up, ever since that day Liu Ni harboured a great grudge against Ye Liu.
While Ye Liu: who is Liu Ni? Do I know him?
Though Liu Ni tried his best to intrigue Chen Dai, the latter only nodded. She wasn't interested in these things, as her daddy said as long as the person changed for the better there was no need to bring up his or her past.
And Chen Dai liked working with Yu Dong, the latter didn't pick holes to lower their wages, nor did she pretend as if she knew more than they did and she wasn't bossy either.
When Liu Ni saw that Chen Dai wasn't interested and didn't look like she was going to create trouble, he got anxious and immediately blurted out " do you know how she treated your brother? Till his pregnancy he was starved! I heard he nearly died while giving birth to his son !"
Chen Dai rolled her eyes and crouched down before picking up bricks today she was responsible for building the Kang that special heatable bed that Yu Dong asked her to make. Though Kang was well known in the capital it wasn't as famous in the villages, and those who knew how to build Kang wouldn't tell others! They would hide it like a secret and would only hand it down to their children! Finally, Chen Dai had a chance to learn how to build that legendary Kang how could she pay attention to Liu Ni?
Actually, Liu Ni was saying the truth but Chen Mi whose body was nourished by the spiritual energy of Yu Dong, looked nothing like a person who was starved for nine months! How can a person who almost died look that rosy and healthy? What a lie!
Chen Dai didn't understand why these villagers wouldn't let go of her sister in law, so what if Yu Dong was an alcoholic? Did she rob your house to subsidise her alcoholism? No right? Then why do they keep harping about something that happened in the past? In the end, Chen Dai was able to think it through, the villagers were jealous. They could see how well Yu Dong was doing and couldn't stomach her success.
This was the truth, Liu Ni and the other villagers were really jealous. They saw Mother Chen and her daughter working at Yu Dong's house in full swing, their wives were also workers but right now no one was hiring and so their wives were completely idle, how good it would have been if their wives were working here and earning a daily a wage?
Liu Ni could see that he couldn't get Chen Dai to quit in the end he tried to pry Chen Dai about her income, mother Chen was shrewd she wouldn't tell anyone as she was afraid that others might try to snatch her work. But Chen Dai was straightforward and honest, she simply answered Liu Ni's question and went back inside.
Liu Ni who found out the mother and daughters payment was stunned, eighty cents for a day? That's so much! Chen Dai, Chen Han and their mother were working at Yu Dong's house for more than two months! Just How much Money did they earn by now? and she even gave a full meal to them! How good this was! 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m
In the end, Liu Ni spread the word around the village, he villainized Yu Dong complaining that Yu Dong didn't give work to them despite knowing that they all lived in the same village, and chose to support outsiders by subsidising them!
Once the matter escalated, numerous women who worked as masons went to Yu Dong house to voice their complaints, Yu Dong who was tending her berries patch in the backyard, raised her eyebrows when she heard their complaints and simply said one sentence " it was the village head who refused not me, I asked her but she said that the villagers were busy, so what was I suppose to do?"
In your face Mu Xuan!
