Chapter 617: Beat you to death

Chapter 617: Beat you to deathSure enough, as soon as Shen Hanxing said those words, Mother Shen who was sleeping on the ground with her eyes closed opened them in a hurried motion as she sat up straight on the ground and looked at her eldest daughter before she asked, " What are you trying to say?"          

As far as she knew Shen Li's wife was a good-for-nothing who has no future prospects, in fact, she more or less completely abandoned the idea that she will ever be able to get any help from her eldest son. After all, his wife was a thug who did not have a single good bone in her body, leaving Shen Li alone at the mercy of his wife was the smartest thing she could have done in her entire life.      

But now her daughter was saying that Shen Li was living a comfortable life and was even richer than he was before. When did this happen? How come she did not know about this? Did Yu Dong and that son of hers divorce or what? That was not right, Yu Dong might not like her son but she was still not a good person, even if she did not like her son, that woman would surely not divorce her son and even let him marry someone else.      

So, does that mean that Yu Dong struck a pot of gold?      

" You must have mistaken!" Ning Yu was very worried that his wife and daughter will go and trouble his son again and immediately spoke up in support of Shen Li. But even though he was speaking in support of his son, he kept his words very unpleasant because he did not want the two of them to think that he was trying to stop them, if he was to do that then these two will surely go to Big river village no matter how much he tried to stop them. " Shen Li, he was born to be unlucky…didn't the master say that he was born with the aura of a mer who will suffer his entire life and he did not even have the fortune of getting a child in his entire life?"      

" How can he get rich all of a sudden? That child was born to be a beggar, are you saying that you want to beg from a beggar?" Ning Yu continued speaking even though his heart was hurting as he said all these hurtful words but for the sake of Shen Li, he kept his face cold and his voice disdainful.      

Shi Xi who was watching the scene unfolding in front of him felt sorry for his brother, only he knew how much Ning Yu has done for Shen Li. It was clear that he loved Shen Li a lot but for the sake of making sure that Shen Li would not be sold off to an old lady who had a lot of money and was willing to take Shen Li as her twentieth male concubine, Ning Yu looked for a master and even offered all his dowry to him that he has saved to give a fake foretelling.    

That's right! It was Ning Yu who looked for the master and asked him to tell all those lies to Mother Shen and Shen Hanxing, he did not wish for his son to become a male Concubine which was why he asked the master to give a fake foretelling and say that Shen Li did not have the fortune of becoming a father, this was to stop Mother Shen from selling him to that old woman who wanted to buy another mer to give birth to a son for her.      

But who would have thought that Ning Yu's plan will get backfired on him? He was not a smart mer, to begin with, he only came up with that plan in the desperation of saving his son from getting sold to an old woman. However, once his wife found out that Shen Li would not have a child in the future, she went ahead and sold his son for a far cheaper price and to someone like Yu Dong!      

Even now Ning Yu wanted to slap himself in the face, if he knew that his wife will not stop selling his son even after finding out that he could not give birth then he would have allowed his son to marry that old woman at least that way he would have guaranteed three meals a day!      

" Do you mean to say that I am lying?" Shen Hanxing immediately got unhappy as she spat on Ning Yu's shoes and then sneered, " I saw it with my own eyes, that man whore's wife was wearing expensive clothes and was carrying at least three months' worth of ration with her. She even has a carriage that is bigger than our entire house, do you still think that I am lying?"    

Ning Yu understood that he will not be able to stop his wife and his daughter, now that they knew that Yu Dong was rich and was living a comfortable life, they will surely go and disrupt Shen Li's peace. In the end, he couldn't help but say, " But we have already sold Shen Li off, I don't think that it is nice of us to go and bother him——"    

He did not even get to finish his sentence because the second he started speaking his wife was off the floor and the next second she was beating him left and right. Punches and kicks fell on Ning Yu like falling rain and soon he was on the ground with his hands clutching his head as he tried to grit his teeth and stop himself from crying out loud.    

" Don't hit my daddy!" The little Shen Ting saw that his father was being beaten and immediately tried to cover his daddy but he forgot that he was a mer and not a man, the second he covered his daddy, Mother Shen started to beat him too causing Ning Yu to let go of his head and cover his son with his body.      

" Do I need you to tell me what I need to do? And what I do not need to do? You are a worthless mer who only knows to eat and sleep and beg for it when you are itchy, how dare you tell your wife what she should or should not do? Are you trying to get on top of my head now? Is that what are you trying to do huh?"
