Chapter 7 - I Will Treat You Well
Yu Dong finished clothing because she had three mers at home , her work finished together with Wang shi who came late and started washing her clothes at least fifteen minutes later . By the time Yu Dong piled her washed clothes and stood up her back was aching so much that she nearly cried , God this body was so pampered can't even crouch down for half an hour ! And her arms - Hell , they were aching like she had played with a metal hula hoop .
" Dong Dong , this washing grass is really fragrant , my clothes smells like roses ! " said Wang shi as the two of them returned back home , Yu Dong's lips twitched and she rolled her eyes inwardly ' of course it smells like roses, the washing powder that she used was rose scented after all !'
"Can you tell me where you find it maybe I can try my luck as well ?" Said Wang shi , she trult liked the scent of the foaming water she used today , if her clothes smelled this great everyday , her mer would be really happy ! He often complained that she smelled too because of she sweated too much .
" I can but its really far inside the forest , where wild animals lives . I have my mother's knowledge to hunt any animal that tries to attack me but what about you ? Will Uncle Fu let you go that farther in ?"
When Yu Dong said it like that Wang shi dropped the matter , she knew that her mer was really fierce but he cared about her as well , if she really brought up the matter of going inside the forest where wild animals lived together with Yu Dong , her mer will definitely pack his bags and take their kids away screaming and sobbing how he will find a new mother for his kids as he couldn't dare to let her kids become motherless so early .
" Alright then see you later -"
"Wait " when Yu Dong reached her house she stopped Wang shi from leaving right away , instead she placed the laundry bucket inside the kitchen , ignored the shocked look of Ye Liu who was washing the dishes and chopped a piece of pork belly and bones , wrapped it all up and brought it back to Wang shi " here I have no eggs to return but take this pork belly and bones , today cook something delicious for your kids "
" No , no , how can I -"Wang shi knew that Yu Dong hunted a boar today but she deliberately didn't came today to buy some because she knew that Yu Dong might try to give it to her for free
" I'm not giving it to you for free - you have given me a lot of things and this is something that I should have done earlier " and when Wang Shi kept refusing she added " think about if you bring this pork belly , Uncle Fu might let you inside without scolding you anymore "
Wang shi hesitated , this sentence really stuck her nerve , she really hoped that she could make up with Fu Wei as soon as possible so she didn't refuse Yu Dong 's offer anymore and took the pork belly and bones from her .
Yu Dong bid Wang shi goodbye and went back inside where Ye Liu was looking at the basket of laundry with disbelief written on his face , Yu Dong had a sick suspicion that if he wasn't bothered about his reputation he would have taken a drum and announced it to the world that she washed the cloth .
" You washed it ?" He asked even though the washed clothes were placed right in front of him , he still couldn't believe it " you really washed it ?"
"Who else do you think washed it ?" Asked Yu Dong as she warmed the chicken soup on the stove once again" here take some more for Chen Mi " then she paused and asked "
Is he okay?"
Ye Liu didn't respond instead he took the bowl from her and said with doubt and suspicion clear in his voice "What are you trying to do ? Why are you acting all nice to us ?what do you want , I'm telling you if you sell the child -"
"I won't " said Yu Dong she had no idea how to deal with her husbands nor the child and she had no patience to explain her transmigration either , even if she did , will they even believe her ? But still she had no idea how to explain herself either "I don't know how to make you trust me , but I assure you I won't sell the child nor you three either , instead from now on I will try to take better care of you three and the child "
This time Ye Liu was even shocked , he didn't think that Yu Dong would say something like this and wasn't sure whether or not he should trust her , after all once bitten twice shy and he and the other two had been bitten a lot of time by this mad dog Yu Dong " I won't trust you not yet but if you are serious about treating us well , I will see whether or not I can trust you "
" Alright I won't ask anymore of you " said Yu Dong , except for treating the three mers well she had no other idea how to gain their trust , the previous Yu Dong had hurt them all so badly that they will never dare to trust her , not without her showing sincere care towards them " I promise that I won't sell the child you can relax alright "
Yu Dong thought the two of them were together with Chen Mi because they were worried about him and wanted to aid with his labour but turns out that Ye Liu was actually keeping guard to protect the child from Yu Dong . In case she snatched the child from the gentle Shen Li and the weak Chen Mi .
Yu Dong , oh Yu Dong can you resurrect once ? I promise I just want to talk ! ( with her hands of course )
