Chapter 616: It’s all because of your, Shen Li!

Chapter 616: It’s all because of your, Shen Li!Shi Xi and Ning Yu went to beg for food for their two young mer sons, it was only after standing in a long line and pleading with the officials that were they able to get some extra porridge for their two sons. Shi Xi was the father of the two young girls and when he returned to the place where his family was staying, he of course heard the cries of his daughters, immediately his heart quivered and he rushed towards where his daughters were, the young mer who was walking beside him while holding the bowl of porridge in his hands also rushed with him.          

Seeing Shi Xi run, Ning Yu could not stop himself either, he immediately picked up his son in his arms and then rushed after Shi Xi. When the two arrived to where the two twin girls were they heard Shen Hanxing threaten the two girls. Immediately Shi Xi's face changed and he looked at Ning Yu whose face was filled with helplessness as well, he was Shen Hanxing's daddy but this girl has never listened to him.      

Under Shi Xi's gaze, he could only lower his stance and say, " I apologise on behalf of her." There was nothing else he could do about this, he knew that Shi Xi blamed him after all, it was Shen Hanxing who caused Shi Xi's elder daughter to be sold off in a faraway village. The girl was young and beautiful but under the repeated threats and bullying of Shen Hanxing, they had to take two steps back and sell the young girl causing her to marry an old man, it has been six months ever since Shi Xi's daughter was married off but she was not even willing to see them.      

" There is no need," even though Shi Xi wanted to blame Ning Yu, he knew that Ning Yu was just as helpless as him. He only lost a single daughter but Ning Yu's sons have been sold one after another by Shen Hanxing, if not for the youngest being only six, their wife would have sold him off as well!    

Ning Yu knew that Shi Xi was not blaming him but he still felt guilty if he had done a good job raising this daughter of his then nothing like this would have happened, but it was too late for him to regret now, all he could do was to pursue his lips and watch his daughter's antics.      

" All right you two stop crying," Shi Xi knew that there was no way he could stop Shen Hanxing after all the girl was even ruthless to her own blood-related brothers, why will she care about her half-sisters? He crouched down and handed the bowl that had porridge in it to his daughters and said, " You can eat this one."      

He brought this porridge for himself but now that the extra porridge that he has brought for his two daughters was snatched away, he could only hand his own share to the two of them.    

" Take this one too," Ning Yu handed his share to the two girls as well, since it was his daughter who bullied them until they cried it was only right of him to make it up to the two of them, once he was done he looked at his daughter who was rolling her eyes at him, seemingly upset that he gave his share to the young girls.      

Once the twins got the bowls of porridge they immediately stopped crying and then pulled their brothers to eat with them, they were worried that if they left their brothers alone then their shares will be snatched as well!    

Ning Yu waited for the four kids to go away before he turned to look at Shen Hanxing and asked in a soft voice, " Why are you so agitated? Who upset you?" Even though he wanted to scold his daughter, he knew that he could not do it. After all, his daughter was long past the stage where she will be willing to listen to him.    

" Isn't it because of that good son you gave birth to?" Shen Hanxing did not feel anything when she talked disrespectfully to her daddy, after all, she has watched her mother abuse her father ever since she was young and learned that the mers were nothing but a waste of space.    

" If you are talking about Yu Yu.." Ning Yu began but before he could even finish speaking he was immediately interrupted by Shen Hanxing as the latter coldly laughed and crossed her arms in front of her as she said, " This is not about the secondborn, I already know that …that little merwhore's wings have hardened after marrying a rich lady, I am talking about your eldest born!"      

When Shen Hanxing mentioned Shen Li, Ning Yu immediately stiffened. He raised his head and looked at Shen Hanxing who was sneering at him and clenched his fingers tightly.    

Please, he begged the heavens. Please don't let these two bully my eldest now!    

Ning Yu would be lying if he was not upset when Shen Li was sold off to a woman who had no qualms regarding hitting his son and was a lowly scumbag who married another mer in just six months after his son failed to bore her child. What was more he will never forget the hate in the eyes of his eldest when he was being married off to the Yu family, it was clear that he resented him very much for not stopping his mother but there was little to nothing that he could do to save Shen Li.      

That, however, did not stop Shen Li from feeling upset with him which was why even though he has been married for so many years and was bullied by his wife so badly, to the point where he almost lost his life when his wife tried to make use of his body in one of her perverse actions, yet he did not come back to ask for help from his daddy! Even though he was a mer and could not help Shen Li, he could at least show Yu Dong that Shen Li was not alone but his son was so angry with him that he would rather be bullied left and right than ask for his help.      

" W..What about him?" Ning Yu asked hoping that Shen Hanxing would not say anything about Shen Li that might bring his eldest more trouble.      

But his hopes were doomed to fail because then he heard Shen Hanxing say, " What else that eldest of yours have hit a jackpot but refuses to share with us !" -
