Chapter 242: Hah? I told the truth
" Ahem, did you have a good time at the town?" seeing that they were drifting
o course, Shen Li cleared his throat and asked the thing that was the most
important among everything else. He needed to change the topic or else who
knows how bad Yu Dong's expression might get, just look at that sullen
expression it looked like she would strangle anyone who tried to look at her son
in the wrong manner.
Hearing his words Yu Dong calmed a little, it would be hard for her to say that
she wasn't rued by what they said, humph what do they mean by that her
daughter in law might not be willing to indulge little bun's temper if she can't
even indulge him this much then she might not as well get married to her son,
end of the story. What was there to think about this? However since they have
dropped the matter she would look too petty if she continued to harp on it so it
was better for her to not say anything, and she also didn't show them a bad
expression and answered " It was good, the shopping for the wedding is mostly
done, so I don't need to go to the town for the rest of the month." Then she
remembered about the small gifts that Fang Chi has brought, so she quickly
added " Chi brought you all some gifts, so, he might be coming tomorrow to
visit."
Perhaps due to the last time they saw Fang Chi cry, the three of them had a
good feeling toward Fang Chi, when they heard that he bought gifts for them
while he was already on a tight budget, the three of them couldn't help but feel
a bit upset as they looked at each other then turned to look at Yu Dong again.
" Surely, it's not necessary right?" asked Ye Liu, he thought that spending an
extra sum on the three of them while Fang Chi needed to save it for his
wedding, Ye Liu thought that it wasn't right of them to just take Fang Chi's
gifts like that. After all, they knew in what kind of conditions Fang Chi and his
grandmother was living in, it wasn't easy for them to go make all the
arrangements for the wedding by themselves but because they had their own
pride they were not willing to accept a single cent from Yu Dong, at such a
husky strung time, they shouldn't add troubles to Fang Chi's problem even if
they couldn't help him, right?
Yu Dong understood what Ye Liu meant and she was relieved after nding out
that her husbands had good feelings towards Fang Chi and were worried about
him, she smiled and patted the back of his hand then cracked her sti neck to
relieve some of the stress and tension, " I did say that it was unnecessary and
he can always buy something for you three later on but he was adamant. That's
why when he comes to see you three tomorrow, just take his gifts. Think of
them as his goodwill."
When Yu Dong put the matter like that they couldn't say anything, those gifts
that Fang Chi bought for them were certainly lled with his honest feelings, if
they refused then it might hurt Fang Chi's feelings. So, the three didn't discuss
anything about this matter any further.
" I cooked some radish pancakes and porridge for dinner, I will go and heat up
the food for you," said Shen Li as he handed Yu Dong a towel to clean her feet
then turned around and walked into the kitchen. While he was heating up the
food, Yu Dong cleaned her feet and then picked up the foot basin before
dumping the dirty water outside.
She placed the foot basin and sat down on the chair next to Chen Mi before
taking the towel from him and started drying his hair. The mers of this era had
long hair that was thick and black. It was rather dicult for them to take care
of their long hair, especially if the mer was as impatient as Chen Mi would start
to tug and pull when his hair didn't dry quickly. " How many times have I told
you to dry your hair gently, don't always tug and pull, if this goes on you will be
the rst mer who will go bald."
Chen Mi pouted as he threw his head and looked at her upside down as he
unhappily spoke " I will not. Don't say such things, you should know by now
that a mer cares most about his beauty."
Yu Dong smiled in amusement before she straightened his head up and nished
o drying his hair. " If you are so worried about your beauty then you should at
least take care of it properly."
Ye Liu who was sitting next to Chen Mi laughed. " You are asking for a miracle,
Dong Dong. Everyone in the family knows that Mi cannot sit still for long"
" Brother Liu!"
" What? I am saying the truth."
" Alright, that's enough." Shen Li who returned with the piping hot food,
immediately put a stop to the rising argument before it could get serious, he
placed the dishes on the table and wiped his hands on the apron that Yu Dong
has brought out of her space. " You two are already so old yet you are ghting
like three-year-old kids."
" but brother Liu teased me rst."
" I did not, I just said what was the truth."
" See"
Shen Li had a headache, the two of them had long shed their wariness and were
now as playful as a bunch of young kids. Seeing them ght like this he turned
around to look at Yu Dong who was silently eating her meal, with an
exasperated expression he looked at her and pointed at Chen Mi and Ye Liu who
were bickering and growling at each other, he placed his hand on his waist and
exclaimed, " are you not going to say anything?"
Yu Dong who have just taken a bite of porridge choked, she glanced at her two
young husbands who were so busy bad-mouthing each other that they didn't
even have any idea what was going on in their surroundings and shrugged, "
What can I do, it's not like they listen to me."
Shen Li "...." That's true but can you at least try before giving up like that? What
happened to your authority as the head of the house.
Yu Dong munching on her pancake: I ate it.
