Chapter 344 Pickles



Chapter 344 Pickles

  Yu Dong helped her husbands down, she didn’t act like she was favouring anyone and that seemed to have calmed Ye Liu and Shen Li a bit. At least their silent bellies haven’t affected Yu Dong, she cared about them just as much as she did before that was enough to make their heart rest at ease for a while, though they were still worried their worries seemed to have lessened significantly. They laughed and chatted with Fang Chi and Chen Mi, setting their mind at ease as well. 

The candies that were brought by Lang were distributed in the village as well, those who received the candies of course congratulated Yu Dong, some even took out a few cents and put them in red packets before handing them to Lang, Yu Mai and Lang Ru while the others who couldn’t fork out any sum of money handed something good to eat though it wasn’t much but it was their thoughtfulness that counted. 

The biggest package that Lang received was surprisingly from the Yu family, Grandma Yu when she heard that Yu Dong was going to be a mother again, immediately took out a red packet of five taels and some pickles from her house before handing it all to Lang who thanked her for her good intentions before returning to the new family residence.

” Dear God, thank you for your blessings.” Grandma Yu limped back into her house and offered incense to the small temple that she has made in her house.

Seeing his wife act like this old man Yu was really furious, even now—- even now that son of a bitch was the one whom his wife loved the most.  He didn’t see her offering any incense to God when his daughter became a mother but now that Yu Dong was going to be a mother, she was offering incense to God? Really?

And what was even more upsetting, she even took out a good sum of money from their house savings and handed it to that woman! For what? 

The more he thought about it the angrier he got, glaring at his wife, he couldn’t help but sneer. ” When Cheng’er was born you only offered a single tael but now that —— your precious granddaughter is going to become a mother you handed five taels, you sure are unbiased my wife!”

Grandma Yu frowned as she looked at her husband who was using such sharp words with her even on such a happy occasion. This was why she never wanted to marry him. If not for her mother who was won over by the sweet talks of her third husband’s daddy, she would have never ever accepted his hand in marriage even if his family offered him a good sum of bridegroom price. 

This husband of hers was petty, narrow-minded and loved to count even the smallest grievance that he has never even suffered. Sighing, she put closed the lid of the incense burner and then looked at her husband, ” When Cheng’er was born you took out a huge chunk of our savings already and that was why I could only hand one tael back then and what’s more his parents are still alive and well, unlike Dong Dong’s! As her grandmother I have to fulfil their responsibilities as well, it’s bad enough that you exploited my daughter and son in law all their life and then kicked their daughter out of the family.  You are not the slightest bit ashamed of seeing them in the afterlife without any answers but I am —— I want to meet my daughter and look her in the eyes with love not shame.”

” Of course, I am the only one who is wrong in this matter. It has always been Me, Me, Me!” snapped Old man Yu, as he flung his handkerchief on the floor. ” Maybe if you paid a little more attention to my daughter as much you pay attention to outsiders then maybe I wouldn’t have to be so calculative!”

” Dong Dong is not an outsider!”

” Oh yeah! When was the last time she came to visit you!”

Yu Tong who just returned home from the docks heard her grandparents quarrelling and sighed in exasperation, everyday her desire to get out of this family grew more and more. She shook her head and walked towards the kitchen, the earnings today weren’t good and that was why she had to walk all the way from the dock to the village she was thirsty and hungry and had no mood to interfere with her grandparents’ fight, however just as she walked inside the kitchen she saw a peculiar scene, her daddy was throwing a perfectly good batch of pickle away. 

” Daddy, what are you doing?” frowning she asked as she looked at the drainage that now smelled of pickles. ” Why did you throw it all, wasn’t it alright just a few days ago?”

Qiu Bai hadn’t expected his daughter to return so soon, he jumped and almost dropped the jar on the ground when he heard her call him. ” I —— I threw this away because of your mother, you know how she is, right? She used a dirty spoon to take some pickles out and now the entire thing has been ruined. I wanted to eat some rice with pickle but then I noticed that there was fungus growing on it and sigh” he shook his head with an uncomfortable expression. ” Now the entire thing is ruined what can I do other than throw it away.”

Then looking around he winked at Yu Tong secretively. ” Don’t tell your grandpa that I threw it away, I will make a new batch soon and replace it. If your grandpa found out then he will make things even with me, since his daughter can never be in the wrong.”

Yu Tong looked confused but she still nodded, she couldn’t think of any other reasons why her daddy would throw out a perfect batch of new pickles with his petty nature. So, she just conceded to his request and walked back inside. 

When Qiu Bai saw that his daughter wasn’t suspicious he patted his chest and sighed in relief. Good thing that she didn’t question him more or else——
