Yu Tong bit her lips and shook her head, " He won't but I want you to ask him in front of the villagers, tell Grandma's condition to him and my mother in front of everyone, if they don't hand in the money then they cannot blame me or grandma for being ruthless to them."

Only then Yu Dong understood what Yu Tong meant by telling her to ask for money from the Yu family. " I will go but you have to come with me, if you don't come with me then they will be able to turn it on me, saying that I am being unfilial, and since you live with them it would be better for you to talk about these things, all right ?"

" I understand," Yu Tong nodded, she didn't want to dump the entire responsibility on Yu Dong either way, though she was scared of her mother, she would still go and fight them instead of sucking up the injustice that she and her grandma has to suffer in the Yu family.

"For now you can take rest," Yu Dong patted her on the back of her hands and then stood up from the stool on which she was sitting and said, " There is no need to be in a hurry …we can take our time and deal with them in due time."

Yu Tong gave her a nod before she slumped back on the bed.

When Yu Dong walked out of Yu Tong's room, Ye Liu was whisking eggs and adding them bit by bit to the boiling broth. Smelling the scent of the alluring eggs, Yu Dong rubbed her stomach and realised that she didn't eat anything in the morning because she was in a hurry to save grandma Yu and Yu Tong, she forgot to eat the black bean noodles that she made this morning.

Ye Liu too could see that she was rubbing her stomach, so he rolled his eyes and ladled a bowl of egg drop soup from the pot and placed it in front of the aisle. " Go and drink it, I needed someone to test whether the salt is all right or not."

" Mhmm," Yu Dong walked and picked the bowl from the kitchen aisle before taking a sip and immediately frowned causing Ye Liu to pause as he asked, " What…What's wrong?"

" Liu, it seems that you added sugar instead of salt," replied Yu Dong in a low voice.

" That's impossible," Ye Liu said but then he carefully thought about it and could not help but wonder, his cooking skills were really bad because when he stayed with his family, he used to take care of the livestock and do small deliveries around the house to earn an extra sum of money. What if he really mistook sugar for salt? Though he was sure that the clear powdered one was salt with his skills he couldn't help but ladle a bit of the egg drop soup and take a tentative sip.

Sure enough.

It was salty, not sweet!

"Dong Dong, you!" Ye Liu was worried for a second, they were already in this situation if he wasted so many eggs and powdered chicken broth that Yu Dong made, he would have felt really bad even if his wife hadn't scolded him. " Is it fun to tease me like this?"

Yu Dong smiled and pinched his cheek while slurping the soup and said, "You should be a bit more confident in your cooking, Liu."

Her husband harrumphed and then placed the hot ladle on the back of Yu Dong's hand to make her jump out of her skin. Yu Dong was really strong but she had a cat's skin, even if the ladle has been out of the pot for a long time, she still reacted as if it was just taken out of the pot and glared at Ye Liu. " What was that? You are now really strong huh? Now you are bullying your wife?"

" Who started it?" Ye Liu shot back almost at once causing Yu Dong to blink her eyes as she said, " That doesn't count! I didn't hurt you."

" Who said that you didn't hurt me? You have hurt me!"

" Where what can't I see? Look at the back of my hand it's all red!"

"You hurt my heart!"

Chen Mi who was dressing Little bun up in a purple shirt and matching wide pants looked at the two of them squabbling and said, " Bun Bun, make sure that you tease your wife in the future as well, daddy will back you up as well."

If anyone else in the village heard Chen Mi they would have fainted with anger. A mer was actually teasing his son to tease his wife? What a ridiculous thing!

But the one who heard him was Yu Dong and she immediately turned to look at little bun despite her cheeks being pulled and said, " That's right bun bun, mom will you back you up always."

Little bun turned to her and shot her a look, maybe he understood what she said because he pointed to the purple flower sticking at the top of his head and babbled.

Yu Dong blinked her eyes and smiled at her son as she said, " Your daddies don't count ." Then she turned to look at Ye Liu who was pulling both her cheeks and said, " Can you take the egg soup to the villagers who are staying here? We can flirt all you want after you come back."

Ye Liu immediately let go of her cheeks and shrieked, " Who wants to flirt with you?" Then he hurriedly turned around and picked up a big bowl before emptying a bit of soup in it for his family and then called for Yu Mai.

" You called brother-in-law Liu?" Yu Mai was very interested in crabs these days, so he would often spend days staring at them, when Ye Liu called he was in the next room watching the crabs and came in a hurry.

"Yeah, can you call for Mammy An along with aunt Lang?" Lang returned with them but she was tired after driving the carriage for the entire night and thus, they left her to sleep. Seeing how she has napped for at least five to six hours she should be all right.

Compared to mammy Guo and nanny Lin, Ye Liu was much closer to Lang and thus would often call her.

Yu Dong too knew that so she leaned forward and teased, " Why …why don't you ask me? Don't you think that your wife is strong as well?"

Ye Liu cast her a disdainful glance and said, " Just stay at home, I heard from aunt Wang, you almost drowned someone in flood water. This much trouble for today is enough." But of course, Yu Dong knew what he meant was —-

' Stay at home can't you see how tired you look?'
