No one dared to refuse her when Yu Dong looked like she was about to lose her temper. The Yu family returned to their house, where Grandma Yu was waiting for them with Second Grandma Yu and Grandma Fang.
“What happened?” With such loud noises, it was impossible for Grandma Yu to remain asleep. She looked at Yu Dong and the others with a worried look in her eyes and questioned, “Did something happen again?”
Chen Mi glanced at his wife and noticed that she didn’t seem reluctant to disclose the matter and explained what happened. Once he was finished speaking, Grandma Yu frowned heavily and questioned angrily, “What is wrong with that girl!? No matter what, Old Master Tong is still her father; how can she do such a thing?”
Grandma Yu was really disappointed with Yu Linyun. She knew that her daughter was quite selfish but she never thought that the woman was selfish to this degree. To think that she would actually beat Old Master Tong up.
“Grandma, don’t think about it too much,” Shen Li comforted the old woman and said to her, “Even though I understand that you are furious—there is nothing that we can do.”
The matter was already over: even if Grandma Yu wanted to deal with Yu Linyun, there was nothing that could be done for the time being. After all, Yu Linyun had already separated from Grandma Yu so if she was to make any complaints, his second aunt could always say that since their family had already separated, Grandma Yu didn’t have the right to say anything to her.
If that happened, Grandma Yu would only be humiliated.
Thus, it was better to stop Grandma Yu lest she get humiliated.
Grandma Yu snorted. She was really angry with Yu Linyun but she still understood her own position and was aware of her own status; thus, she did not rush to question Yu Linyun.
“I think we all need to eat something good to change the mood?” Chen Mi suggested while already on his way to the kitchen, where he tied an apron to his waist that Yu Dong made for him and then turned to look at the rest of the family. “How about some cold noodles? That will help with the heat and the lack of sleep?”
No one refused and agreed, as cold noodles did suit their taste in the current weather.
Chen Mi hummed before he started preparing the cold noodles from scratch.
And soon he prepared a large pot of noodles with the special sauce of their family.
“Wow, it looks really good,” Ye Liu, who was slightly sleepy, woke up at the sight of the colourful vegetables and the cold noodles.
The noodles had been doused in cold water and looked transparent and really tempting. In a hot weather like this, what else could a person even want?
Yu Dong picked up the chopsticks and finished the bowl of noodles in front of her with ease. Seeing that she almost inhaled the noodles, Chen Mi knew that she was hungry and immediately ladled more in her bowl.
Yu Dong flashed him a smile before turning to eat her second bowl.
Shen Li waited for her to finish her meal before asking, “Just now, why did you not stop Old Master Tong from separating from her second aunt?”
“Whats the matter, feeling sorry for them?” Yu Dong asked with a chuckle as she wiped her lips with a cloth napkin that Chen Mi offered her.
“Its not the matter of feeling sorry,” Shen Li sighed and stated, “Once this incident is known to others, they will definitely laugh at our village. If you had stopped the separation from happening, at least this matter could have been controlled; don’t you think so!?”
Shen Li thought that Yu Dong was a bit too casual while handling this matter; was she letting her personal feelings come in between while dealing with it?
Yu Dong arched a brow. She smiled at him and said with a click of her tongue, “Do you think that I didn’t deal with the matter carefully?”
“Did you?” Shen Li asked back with a stern expression.
Chen Mi and the rest lowered their heads without uttering a peep. They could literally sense the gunpowder in the air and neither of them were not foolish enough to speak up when Yu Dong and Shen Li were in the middle of an argument.
Was it cowardly of them? Maybe. But nothing was more important than keeping their heads intact, what if they were to speak up and ended up getting dragged in the argument?
It was better to stay quiet.
Yu Dong set her chopsticks down on the table and even though she did not throw them down, the rest of the family still sucked in their breath as they could feel that she was angry.
“So, you see me in such a light,” sneered Yu Dong. She thought that after being married for so long and two sons, Shen Li would understand her better. But who would have thought that he would actually think that she actually dealt with Old Master Tong’s matter willy nilly!
Shen Li opened his mouth to defend himself but before he could say anything, Yu Dong spoke up in a dignified voice, “I did that because I wanted Yu Linyun to have no family member next to her.”
She was no longer willing to call Yu Linyun as her second aunt. What kind of elder she was if she was determined to cause her harm?
When the mer heard her words, they all frowned, and Chen Mi questioned, “What do you mean by no family member left next to her? Have you forgotten the second aunt’s husband is carrying her child?”
Yu Dong smirked upon hearing his question. She announced, “That mer is not carrying her child. Have you forgotten? I investigated Qiu Bai the last time and found out very interesting information.”
“What kind of information?” Ye Liu asked with a frown.
“Thats right, wife,” Chen Mi chimed in from the side. “Just tell us the truth; don’t keep us in dark.”
“That mer gave my dear aunt a medicine that made her infertile.”
