Chapter 502: Send you back
Yu Dong did not care about Ah Cy or madam Sun, she rowed her raft away. From what she can see the old mer was in a very similar condition as that of Grandma Yu. His sickly body was weak enough and now that he was forced to be submerged in the water for so long, he probably won't be able to recover from his illness ever again. Even if he was to somehow make out of this situation alive, she stared at the weak mer who was lying to his father still clutching onto his sleeves and shook her head. If the old mer was the only pillar helping him stand up, then that mer's life was going to be really bad in the future.
"Hey! Yu Dong! You can't leave me alone here!" Ah Cy shouted after Yu Dong's raft, she couldn't believe it. That woman really dared to leave her behind! Now, what was she going to do?
Ah Cy and her mother stared at the raft that was getting further and further away from them and swallowed harshly. They wanted to chase after the raft but the waves that were crashing against them were really violent, what was more neither of them knew how to swim then how were they supposed to chase after the raft? Their gazes dropped to the violent flood water that was gushing in front of them and their legs trembled. If they jumped in that flooding water, they might as well be swept away once and for all like those families whose houses didn't have sturdy walls and roofs.
Madam Sun's old husbands looked at their wife who was left stranded on the roof and couldn't help but turn to look at Yu Dong as one of them murmured softly, " Miss Yu … our wife … what about her?"
The mers were of course hurt by the selfishness of their wife and the eldest daughter whom they treated like she was born from their own wombs. But when danger came knocking that eldest daughter actually dared to leave them behind! They were heartbroken by her actions because Ah Cy was the eldest daughter and lost her mother they have been treating her as their own. When something good was cooked they would offer it to Ah Cy first rather than giving it to their daughters.
But now that when the danger was hanging on their necks that daughter was actually willing to leave them behind.
However, no matter how disappointed they were, those two were the current pillars of their family, if something happened to them then what will happen to their family? Their daughters were still young. In the future they have to rely on those two, God forbids if something happens to the two of them… what will they do in the future?
Yu Dong couldn't believe her ears when she heard the mers still caring about those heartless women and turned to look at the three of them with a surprised look on her face. " What did you say? Are you really talking about asking me to save those women? They were willing to leave you all stranded there on the roof."
The mers hesitated and then one of them finally spoke up, " But she is our wife and Ah Cy is our oldest daughter we can't survive without them."
Yu Dong didn't say anything she simply turned her head away from them and softly said, " I have already decided that I will be helping the mers first along with their kids if you have something to say then you can go back, I will let you wait along with your wife and daughter, it's not like I am forcing to leave with me."
" That…" The three mers looked at each other and then their gazes drifted to their brother who was lying on the raft unconscious with the last of his breath left in his body. They have seen the ruthlessness of their wife and daughter. If not for them being lucky enough to give birth to daughters they would have been left stranded in the water as well. They also heard about how casual Ah Cy was about bringing another mer to serve her mother, she wasn't wrong in saying what she said but that only made their heart break even more.
No matter how easy it was to get a mer husband, they were in the end Madam Sun's husbands for more than seven to eight years. Especially their older brother, he was Madam Sun's second husband and has been with her for more than fifteen years, how can she talk about him so casually? So, what if he was sick? He also stayed with her for so many years!
In the end, neither of them said anything after all their wife was important to them but their daughters were even more important. They were still young and the fourth brother of them just gave birth a few months ago, the little girl wasn't even five months yet, it was still too early for her to die.
Seeing that neither of them was saying anything, Yu Dong turned to look at the front ignoring the subtle glances the mers were shooting her.
She rowed around the village rescuing the mers who were left to hang on the roofs along with their kids, the women were all kicked and punched by her when they stubbornly tried to climb up the raft.
" I am telling you, be glad that after turning a blind eye to my warning I am still coming to save you, if you make things so much as the slightest bit difficult for me, I will send you to see your maker got it?" Yu Dong threw the fat woman back on the roof that was now almost covered with water. " Row the raft away." She turned to look at Mammy An daring the woman's husbands to say anything, they didn't maybe they were wiser than the Sun family's husbands or maybe it was because they were left in the water just because their wife was too portly made them unhappy.
