" Dong Dong , I know that you are upset with your husbands because they didn't bring enough dowry with them but you shouldn't abandon them either , what you have done is much worse " The woman whom Su Wan recalled as Wang Shi still going on and on and on , telling her how she should be a better wife and take better responsibility of her husbands now that she was going to be a mother . Yu Dong felt wronged , she clearly wasn't the one who married three man - no mers , she also didn't have sex with them , then why was she the one to pick the responsibility of raising a child ? What was this situation - someone else had fun and now she was supposed to pay the bill ? And the bill was something she had to continue paying for years and years.
How unfair ! She didn't get the chance to have the humpty dumpty ride yet she had to pick up the slack ! And can this woman stop looking at her like she was some serious scum bag ? It was hurting her heart , thank you very much !
" You have to do better Dong Dong , now that you are a mother you can no longer go frolicking at the brothel - if you do what will your child learn from you ?" Wang shi earnestly advised Yu Dong , she was Yu Dong 's mother's best friend and the two have grown together ever since they were in their nappies - Wang Shi took Yu Dong as her own child but Yu Dong took her constant nagging as an annoyance and often got angry at her . Wang Shi knew that Yu Dong might get angry but she really wished to see her best friend's daughter living a better life than a drunk alcoholic .
" I understand "
" Don't say that I'm nagging - wait what did you say ?" Wang Shi was stunned no dumbstruck , she had been trying to make Yu Dong understand for years but the latter just never listened to her and now that she said those two words that Wang Shi wanted to hear the most , Wang Shi could not believe her ears .
Yu Dong smiled at the stunned expression of Wang Shi and smiled , seriously this Yu Dong was so lucky she lived in a world with such a peaceful environment and had so many people who genuinely cared for her yet she let them all down even in her death -" I said I understand - don't worry , I - I will take better care of my husbands ". Though Yu Dong had no experience in raising a child and taking care of a lover but she would at least do a better job than the previous Yu Dong wouldn't she ?
" Its good that you finally understand " Wang shi finally heaved a sigh of relief and then handed Yu Dong the cloth bag she was carrying on her back " here - in this there are some eggs , you can cook it for your little mer , though mers should be given the soup of old hen or something to retain their strength during child birth but in the current condition I can't afford an old hen "
" You don't have to uncle Fu will be angry " everyone in the village knew that Wang shi married her childhood sweetheart , Fu Wei was nice but he was rather fierce , together the two had two mers and a daughter , and Fu Wei didn't like it when Wang shi subsidised Yu Dong .
" Oh dear , did you hit your head or something ? I never thought I will ever hear such words from your mouth ". Joked Wang shi in the past Yu Dong not only took things from her but also said that it was too less , when had Yu Dong this spoiled brat ever shown any concern for her ?
Yu Dong didn't say anything and smiled , how was she supposed to tell Wang shi that the Yu Dong she cared and adored was long dead ?
When Yu Dong didn't reply and took the eggs , Wang shi pushed the eggs even more firmly in her hands "Your mer is giving birth this is not the time to stand on ceremony , you clearly have no money left if you were in so much debt that the brothel people were using you to test their happy powder " Remembering the seven taels she had to pay to get Yu Dong out Wang shi felt bitter , tonight she would really be kicked out by little Fu , those taels were supposed to be their daughter's admission fees yet she gave it all up to help Yu Dong get out of that fire pit .
Yu Dong also knew that Wang shi had paid her debt , or more like the previous Yu Dong's debt but now she was here and she needed to pay it back " Aunty Wang don't worry , I will pay back the money before Little Cai starts school " Wang Cai was suppose to start school in two months , earning seven taels wasn't an easy feat but Yu Dong didn't like being under anyone's debt .
Wang shi thought that Yu Dong was just trying to make her feel better and said nothing , she once again advised Yu Dong and left .
Yu Dong looked at the cloth back and sighed , it wasn't even an hour in this world and she already had a debt on her head . Then she looked down at her cloth that still smelled of rogue and something strange most probably the happy powder and shuddered - she could take on a zombie but drugs that was a big no , no for her .
She took the hot water that Wang shi boiled and took a quick bath , after changing into clean clothes , she went back to the kitchen and started cooking some egg drop soup for the pregnant mer with the name Chen Mi and egg custard for the other two , if her memory was right the gentle one was called Shen Li and the sharp features one was called Ye Liu .
The Yu house had nothing , in the end Yu Dong had to take out some vegetables , sesame oil , cornstarch , seasonings and green onions from her spiritual world , she also had to bring out some whole milk , nutmeg and sugar from - there was not even a single drop of oil in the kitchen it was squeaky clean except for some cabbages , Yu Dong had no idea how the little mer was going to give birth if he ate nothing but boiled cabbage in his pregnancy .
Once she was done preparing the egg custard and egg drop soup she placed the ingredients back into her spiritual world and placed everything on a tray- she specially covered the egg drop soup with a chipped bowl to keep it warm and headed to the room where the little mer was , she knocked on the door and instantly the groaning stop - someone muttered ' I will see her my skin is thick it won't hurt '
The words were spoken in a whisper but Yu Dong with her cultivation heard them loud and clear and sighed, really what a scum bag the original owner was she actually hit a pregnant mer as well ?
The door opened and Ye Liu stood at the door way with a false bravado expression " what ?" He asked like he wasn't scared at all but Yu Dong heard the slight tremor in his voice , she didn't want to terrify the mer anymore so she handed the tray in her hands to him and said "Aunt Wang gave me some eggs so I made egg drop soup for Chen Mi and egg custard for your two " she paused then said " its fine if you don't eat , you can throw it away but remember to give Chen Mi the soup or he won't have any energy left to push " then without saying another word she left , leaving Ye Liu to stand there dumbfounded .
