YM778.TV Chapter 52 - Enough!
This village was only this big, and everyone in the village was direct and lived together while gossiping about this and that. There was hardly any entertainment in the village and Yu Dong was assured that the so-called secret meeting with Fang Chi would be spread around the village in no time. In fact, this news would be spiced up in a manner, that by tomorrow morning maybe Fang Chi would be carrying her child!
Yu Dong rubbed her temple but still didn\'t let go of Fang Chi\'s hand. She didn\'t like being gossiped about but she wasn\'t an irresponsible person either. Fang Chi had hurt his ankle really bad, in case she let go of his hand, he might stumble and fall. Because she was afraid that Fang Chi would found about her powers she didn\'t dare heal him completely, only healed him enough to make sure his injuries doesn\'t make it difficult for him to walk.
However, as she walked down the mountain her heart couldn\'t help but thud violently. All eyes were locked on her and Fang Chi, and her hand with which she was holding on to Fang Chi.
Yu Dong felt wrong, terribly wrong. She never got intimate with anyone yet the crowd was looking at her like flowers were blooming everywhere.
Nevertheless, Yu Dong was still in a better condition than Fang Chi. As her soul was from the modern world, her skin was much thicker than Fang Chi whose entire face was now dripping blood. He didn\'t even dare to lift his head and continued to look at his toes, he was done for. What he didn\'t want to happen finally happened, because of him Yu Dong would be embarrassed.
Thus, under everyone\'s surveillance glances, Yu Dong and Fang Chi descended from the mountains. Yu Dong didn\'t even look at the crowd that was whispering violently, some were glaring at her with mortified gazes while one or two young hooligans whistled appreciatively. Yu Dong ignored them and then approached Grandma Fang " I went to the mountains to hunt, and there I found Fang Chi who hurt his foot. I\'m afraid that his swelling is really bad and you should call for a doctor to check on him, Grandma Fang"
Grandma Fang who was worried sick because of her stupid grandson, nearly cried when she heard that her only grandchilf hurt himself. However, she still didn\'t let him go for his stupidity and slapped his arm lightly " you fool! So what if your match rejected you again? It\'s not like it\'s the end of the world! Grandma is still alive and I can still live for the next ten years, even if you don\'t get married in an year or two, I\'m sure that you might be able to marry in these ten years !"
" I don\'t think you have to wait for that long Old lady Fang" carrying a basket of washed laundry Qiu Bai sauntered in front of the crowd and mocked coldly " just wait for three months, after that your grandson wouldn\'t have to worry about not getting married, I\'m sure the mother of his child would surely take responsibility , isn\'t that right?"
Yu Dong frowned slightly she didn\'t want to bother with Qiu Bai and the Old Yu family at all , in her opinion the more she got entangled with these people the more troublesome her life would become. Which was why she never bothered with Qiu Bai who kept poking his long nose in her business every now and then, but this time, it was a matter of an innocent mer\'s reputation. Yu Dong didn\'t live in this world for long but she knew that a mer\'s reputation was similar to that of an innocent girl\'s reputation in the modern world. Though no one paid much attention to such things in the apocalypse but men still preferred those young women who were pure and innocent compared to more mature women.
So even if she didn\'t want to find trouble with Qiu Bai, she still had to intercept in this matter. With this in mind, Yu Dong stepped forward and straightforwardly asked " What does Uncle in law mean by saying this? Aren\'t you afraid that you will create rumours out of nothing by saying such things? What child and what mother? How can you say such nonsense?"
" what do I mean by this? Ara, Ara, what else do you think? Have no shame to do such things but feel embarrassed when caught? Dong Dong your words are really mean, and here I thought that you have changed for better. You and an unmarried mer had a meeting in the forest yet you are now trying to shirk responsibility ? That\'s not right" said Qiu Bai in a rebuking manner with a touch of intimacy to his voice like an elder scolding his junior. It would have been fine if the relationship between the two families were great but they weren\'t, so Qiu Bai\'s intentions weren\'t as well masked as he thought them to be, everyone could see with their naked eye that Qiu Bai was trying to fan the flames.
" what secret meeting !" but before Yu Dong could reply Grandma Fang erupted, don\'t look down on this mild temper and gentle granny. She was once the head of her family, if not for her unfilial sons who thought themselves to be kings just because of their gender, Grandma Fang would still be the one ruling the Fang household with an iron fist. She was more or shrew in her young age than Qiu Bai ever be " you bastard you better watch your mouth or I will sew it for you! How does the second daughter of the Yu family teach her husband? To have him bite everyone from everything like a mad dog! "
However, Qiu Bai wasn\'t easy to deal with either he clicked his tongue unhappily and tsked " old lady Fang, no matter how much you love your grandson, the truth can never be hidden alright? We all saw him coming down with Yu Dong, it\'s clear that they were doing something unspeakable up there, so don\'t you try to whitewash your grandson because it\'s not going to work instead of why don\'t you demand Dong Dong to take responsibility for your grandson in case you force some innocent girl to take in a used shoe?"
" Enough !" Qiu Bai wanted to say more after all who knows when he will get another opportunity to discredit Yu Dong again and as for Fang Chi, this ugly mer he wasn\'t bothered about him at all but then a resolute cold voice interrupted him, stumped Qiu Bai turned to look at the source of voice.
