Chapter 811: Strike me to death
----------------------" Humph, I am just saying—— day and night, she makes a fuss like this, who is she trying to show off to?" Old Master Hu was not convinced, he was not someone who liked to lower his head much less suffer in silence but because of Old Madam Sun and her daughter, he had to ground his teeth every time he saw them, just last night he caught Sun Ah Cy sneaking inside their shack and leaving the bucket of dirty water and waste in their backyard.
Those two, mother and daughter were lazy to the bones which was why they wanted to make use of the fact that no one else lived here and take advantage of their family, but was Old Master Hu someone who would let anyone take advantage of him? Not only did he send Sun Ah Cy packing but also had her take the dirty buckets away lest she wanted him to call Yu Dong and give her a good punishment.
These days only this threat worked on Sun Ah Cy and her mother since they feared no one.
But even though he sent them packing, it did not mean that Old Madam Sun and Sun Ah Cy were willing to let go of the matter that easily. Thus, ever since they all woke up, Old Madam Sun was scolding him and his family for being heartless, however, Old Master Hu did not fear anyone other than his wife and Yu Dong who was the owner of this village and governed their life and death in a way.
And what was more everyone who was living in this area was sick, so why should he do the dirty job of dumping the pee and poo of those women in the dumping pit? He might be a mer but he was the Hu family\'s mer, not the Sun family! If they wanted a mer to serve them, then let them drag their husbands and have them do these dirty jobs of washing the laundry and then cleaning the urinal.
With a scoff, he turned to walk inside the shack which was empty and a bit bigger than the one which belonged to him and his wife.
The shack was a normal living place, with just four walls, a roof over their heads and a small stove to boil water and cook something if they had grains with them.
Three to four rattan mats were lying on the side with thin blankets given that the winters were closing on to them.
" Miss Yu had given this bag of rice to little Yi, for the time being, do not think of cooking it up for your family and just take care of little Yi. Grind the rice out and cook it for her, with her fever so bad, I don\'t think that she will be able to wake up unless she eats something filling and then boil the medicine as for your lunch and the herbs for the flu wait till you hear the sound of the drum, the women patrolling outside will alert you and you can pick up the bowl of porridges and side dishes once they bring lunch."
" Dear god! Strike that mer to death! Look at him bullying this poor old woman——"
" Shut up! You old hag! I used to fight with my in-law with a chopper and a stick, you say one more word and see whether you will need a plaster along with herbs !" Old Master Hu wanted to ignore the Sun mother and daughter but they were so annoying that it was impossible for him to ignore them.
As soon as he finished shouting the screams stopped and Old Master Hu also started to tell his grandchildren and mer sons what they need to do and what they need to take care of while staying here.
" And on top of it stay away from those who come from the big stone village, I am not lying when I say that Miss Yu\'s words literally are a line drawn on stone, if she said that she will kick you all out, if you try to betray the village then she meant every word, she is not playing along or just saying empty words," as he spoke, he turned to look at his daughters in law. " And the same goes for you two, I do not know what happened in the village, and I will naturally not ask anything from you two either but let me be the villain and warn you, do not do anything to let us down. Your mother-in-law took your responsibility if you make a mistake then we can only have you divorce our mer sons for the sake of staying in the village, if that happens do not call us selfish, all right?"
It was not that he was trying to be selfish by securing his own benefits and life but Old Master Hu knew that his wife was a woman who truly loved her roots, if she was asked to leave the village then she might as well die of shock!
He was just a mer and was dependent on his wife the most, though he loved his sons, they had their own families and there was a limit to where he can dote on them if they were to make things difficult for him and his wife, then he can only toughen up his heart and ask them to leave.-
