Chen Ying was not the only one who was shocked. Even Mother Chen was shocked, she did not think that the estimated earnings of her daughter-in-law would be so much!
She turned to look at her son and then patted him on the shoulders before saying, " Mi Mi, I know that you are short tempered but from now on try to get along with daughter in law well, if possible focus on giving her a daughter. And if she likes mer sons then you might as well try to get pregnant with one, it's not like that your family cannot afford it."
Chen Mi: "...." What am I? A pig?
" My wife likes my short temper," Chen Mi pouted as he turned to look at Yu Dong and demanded, " You like it right?"
" How dare I not like it?" Yu Dong replied as she patted Chen Mi on the head.
If she dared to say that she disliked it then Chen Mi would pack up his bags along with the ration in the kitchen leave the house and go to Chu Chang's place where Jiang Fenhua and Zhou Ying had been living, since she did not want to squat outside the house of Chu Chang like Qiao Sha, even if Yu Dong had guts of leopard she would not dare to say that she disliked his temper.
" You see that?" Chen Mi proudly spoke as he turned to look at his mother.
Mother Chen: Can't you see the trembling?
"It is my mother," Shen Li sighed. His expression was weird as he looked at Yu Dong and then said with a blank look in his eyes. " She has been quiet for the past few months and I thought that she would stay like that but ..." he turned to look at Shi Xi who lowered his head while Ning Yu breathed down at him angrily.
" He met with her in the town, apparently she coaxed a widowed mer into marrying her," Ning Yu was disappointed in Shi Xi but he was even more disappointed in his wife. " Our wife does not have many good attributes but she knows how to sweet talk. She must have relied on that sweet tongue of hers and won over the heart of the mer.
I really do not care what she does as long as she stays away but now she returned and is asking Shi Xi to hand her, his pay under the name that he is still her husband."
Ning Yu did not know what his wife was thinking but he knew that she was not planning anything good. The fact that she knew that they were working under Yu Dong meant that she was already aware of everything, thus her staying silent till now made him feel sort of weird.
Yu Dong: "..."
She turned to look at Shi Xi who had his head lowered and did not say anything. With a headache coming she rubbed the space between her brows and then said, " The next time Madam Shen comes to see you just tell her that I have kept your salary with me, I will hand the money to Li and you can ask him for it.
Don't think that I am trying to restrain you, I am most certainly not but if you continue to give her money how will you save it for your daughters?"
" But she said that she would take away Ling and Qian," Shi Xi was a mer who only knew how to submit to women. When he was young he was beaten up by his mother and when he was married away he was beaten up by his wife. Thus, he did not dare to think about going against her at all.
" You are so stupid!" Ning Yu could not help but exclaim. " Do you think that new mer that she has coaxed will allow her to bring the children to his house? She is just threatening you. Most probably her pay is being taken away by her new concubine and she wants you to subsidize her!"
