Chapter 528: Simply too much.

" What do you know huh? What do you know?" He roared after he was done thinking things through as he turned to look at the villagers and shouted quite angrily. " Do any of you have a son? You don't. You all have given birth to money-losing mers and don't know how hard it is for us to raise a son, the academy is a place where a tael or two is burned in seconds, what do you think that I have a lot of money? No matter how much money I have it will still be burned up in seconds, do you have any idea how much a brush costs and a fine paper costs? The brush itself costs more than two hundred coins and the fine paper can go up to five hundred copper coins depending on what kind of paper you want, it's not me who is being a miser but I am thinking of the future, in cases, Yu Cheng passes the junior scholarly exams then our village will have a junior scholar."

Seeing that he was trying to muddle through things Yu Dong sneered and said, " These things sound nice when we heard it but we have seen just how many years Yu Cheng has been studying, there has been no improvement from his side, in fact, he seemed to have gotten worse. And is human life more important or studying more important? I want to see just how well the teachers of his academy think once they find out that Yu Cheng is studying by paying the fees that were meant to save the life of his grandmother."

" Don't you dare! You bitch! I knew you were jealous of Yu Cheng, now you are trying to ruin his future? If you dare to pick up on Cheng Cheng then I will fight with you to death! That boy is your brother and you are trying to ruin him? Are you even human? It's just a matter of a few taels, you earn so much why can't you take them out for your grandmother?" Yu Cheng was old man Yu's pride and his weakness, the second he heard that Yu Dong was threatening his grandson, he didn't hesitate to fight with her.

Yu Dong was a woman whose temper really touched the sky but seeing just how ruthless Old man Yu was despite leeching off grandma Yu, her temper skyrocketed at once. " Fight till death with me? I believe that you will be knocked to the ground with your teeth rattling if I so much as slap you, don't be mistaken that I won't hit you just because you are a mer. As long as you piss me off I don't care who is in front of me and who are you to ask whether or not I am a human? Grandma Yu worked tirelessly for your family, your daughter was able to get this big because Grandma Yu gave her everything that she wanted. And why am I asking for this money to treat grandma Yu? It's because she saved your family, not me, if it has been me I would have never left an elderly woman of her age to hang onto the roof like that, no matter how nice you make it sound, it was you who didn't want to save grandma."

"Furthermore why will I be jealous? It was your daughter who was jealous of me, fine I might have been on the wrong track but everyone has seen just how smart I am, if I was allowed to study in the academy then I would have become an official by now, all I wanted was some motivation to do something good in my life."

" Your daughter begged me and my mother to let her study instead and you forced my mother by going on a hunger strike, didn't you bully her because my grandfather was dead and couldn't fight you as you pushed my mother into a corner? What did you say then? You said that you would take care of me and whoever will marry me but everyone in the village saw that three days later after my parents were buried you threw me and my pregnant husband out, Li and Liu begged you to let Mi give birth since he was only a few months away from delivering but you, after eating my future and the money that my mother brought after selling her game couldn't even spare a mouthful? Why don't you answer me why couldn't you have spared me a mouthful to my husbands and me? It was just a small thing. At the end who is not human? Why don't you look me in the eyes and tell me?"

Her voice was loud and everyone even the ones who were in the cave could hear her properly, they all stretched their necks out to eavesdrop more properly. They all didn't know that Third daughter Yu actually stole Yu Dong's opportunity to study, they all looked at Yu Dong who was confident and then turned to look at Old man Yu and third daughter Yu seeing that their expressions changed, immediately all the villagers shook their heads. Ruthless, this family was simply ruthless.

They all remembered just how cruelly Yu Dong and her husbands were pushed out, especially Chen Mi who was pregnant at the time. At that time even though Yu Dong shouted herself hoarse that it was her house that her mother built and they couldn't kick her out Old man Yu turned a deaf ear to it, he didn't even listen to the pleas of Shen Li and Ye Liu who were on their knees asking Old man Yu to let Chen Mi give birth and promised that they will move out after the matter was done but Old man Yu has refused and he even locked grandma Yu who was sick at the time in the room, no one knew what he said to grandma Yu to make her give up either.

Back then they all thought that it was because Old man Yu wasn't Yu Dong's biological grandfather that was why he was this ruthless but now that they were seeing him in a new light, they understood almost at once that this mer has a poisonous heart. To a mer who could throw anyone away for money was simply too much!
