839: what money?——2

what money?——2

Village head Gu was stunned when she heard such words leaving Yu Dong's mouth. As far as she knew, Yu Dong treated her husbands really well, so why was she suddenly calling Shen Li, good for nothing?  1

Though she was confused, she did not say anything. This was the Yu family's matter and she could not poke her nose into it. 

Yu Dong heaved a sigh when she saw that Village head Gu did not say anything and was sharp enough to keep her mouth shut.

On the other hand, Old Madam Shen was staring at Yu Dong with a stunned expression on her face, though Ning Yu told her that Yu Dong might say this to her and even ask her about the ten taels that she took from her when she sold Shen Li to her but then Old Madam Shen thought about it and again.

In her head, Yu Dong was so rich and could even afford a carriage, there was no way she will be hung up on a meagre sum of ten taels but…why was the reality so different from what she was thinking?

" D.. daughter in law, what, what are you talking about?" Though Old Madam Shen had an idea of what Yu Dong was talking about, she still did not want to believe that Yu Dong will bring that matter up. 

It had been so many years! What was the point of bringing it up now?!

Yu Dong arched a brow and then without beating around the bush, she opened her mouth and then said, " I am talking about those ten taels that you took from my mother when you sold your son to me saying that he has bigger hips and can give birth to tons of kids for me in just a couple of months," she then paused and then added with a mocking smile, " It has been more than years and his womb is yet to make a noise." 

Old Madam Shen's heart fell with a thump inside her stomach, she looked at Yu Dong with shock in her eyes as she opened her mouth and then closed it but then after closing and opening her mouth like a goldfish she finally summoned her courage and asked,  " But d..daughter in law, you have so much money——"

" So what?" Yu Dong raised one of her eyebrows as she looked at the old woman in front of her and then said, " Who does not like more money? And in these circumstances, I will willingly take those ten taels that you are here to give me back."

Old Madam Shen was slightly taken aback. 

She didn't expect that this woman will really ask her for money. 

" That——" Old Madam Shen did not know how to continue with this conversation anymore, seeing this Shen Hanxing cursed her mother for being stupid. 

But given that she did not have the time to bother with her mother, she immediately turned to face Yu Dong and then said in a flattering voice, "Sister-in-law, we are not here to give those silver taels to you…"

" Then what are you here for?" Yu Dong asked, her voice unflattering and flat. 

Shen Hanxing cursed Yu Dong for being too harsh but she did not dare to say a word about what was going on in her head, instead, she continued to smile and then said with an awkward expression on her face, "We are here because we are in a mess right now, it is…" she exchanged a look with her mother and then continued speaking, " Oour village was swept because of the flood and we have no savings or anything in our hands…can you lend us twenty taels? Just help us this time, we will definitely repay you the money one day, I promise." 

From Yu Dong's attitude she could see that she truly had no desire to help them, Shen Hanxing was not a fool and would not try to bite more than she could chew. For the time being it was better for her to ask for a few taels and deal with their current situation as for the rest …her eyes flickered as she carefully thought over what to do later on. 

Yu Dong was not surprised when she heard that they were here for money but Shen Li had warned her about this already and she knew that if she lent them money then they will definitely come back for more. The people in the apocalypse world were the same and if you were soft-hearted enough to give them either food or resources they would come looking for more, if one refused then that would lead to another fight.

There was a time when a kind-hearted woman was killed off by a bunch of hooligans who were relying on her to get past those awful days and when she refused, they killed her and chopped her into pieces. 

" And why will I give you the money?" Yu Dong did not even make any excuse, she stared the two women right in the eyes and then said, " Your family and mine have nothing to do with each other the day you sold your son over to my family, what makes you think that you can borrow twenty taels from me? And in case you want to borrow the money, you will have to use something as collateral, do you have something that you can use as collateral?  Since I have no interest in beauty, it has to be land." She paused and then smiled at Shen Hanxing who was looking at her with shock in her eyes, 

" But you just said that you have no land because your village was flooded by water, so it's better if you do not waste my time." 

After that, she walked passed the two of them and walked into the grains shop while Shen Hanxing was left behind to gape while looking at Yu Dong's back.

" That b*tch!"

I had to attend a funeral, things aren't going good, I apologise for the unstable updates but I hope you will understand that I am willing to tear myself in halves if I could do everything.
