164: Your cousin is here

Your cousin is here

Shen Li left with the others in tow to the tea house that Yu Dong asked them to go to. It wasn't far away, it was only a distance of ten steps yet the three of them felt like they were leaving their wife behind in a war zone.  1

Though the tavern mistress loved money she wasn't a fool. It was highly unlikely that she will agree to sell thirty mers who were the main attraction point of the tavern. 

Though they were not worried about Yu Dong getting hurt they were afraid that she will attract too much attention while dealing with the tavern mistress! 

The three entered the tea house and because they were coming to see Xiao Hua they had dressed in their most beautiful clothes. 

The three looked like three princes with this change of clothes. Thus when they requested the pavilion that had provided them with the best view. 

The waitress didn't even stop to think and immediately brought them to the first floor which was reserved only for the rich madams and mers.

"Being rich and having money in the pocket really makes a difference doesn't it! Brother Li?" commented Chen Mi. Surly it wasn't that they never came here. 

When the previous Yu Dong was still alive and well, he and his brothers came here to bring her back home many times. 

Because they didn't have a patron they couldn't go inside the tavern and could only wait for Yu Dong to come out. 

Back then no matter what kind of capricious weather it was Yu Dong would make sure to come here. 

Chen Mi still remembered that one time when the weather was so hot that his skin was peeling off. 

If it wasn't because Yu Dong staying there for three days straight he and his brothers had no choice to come and bring her back. 

They weren't worried about her but about the money! 

So even if they did not want to; they still travelled this far on foot because they didn't have money to hire an ox cart. 

Back then Aunt Wang was disappointed with Yu Dong and the two had a fight so the three couldn't ask to borrow Aunt Wang's ox cart either. 

Walking so far and waiting for long periods of time outside the tavern, made them thirsty. 

The three had come to this very tea shop to ask for water but before they could even ask for it they were kicked by the busgirl who took them as beggars.

Now in this very tea shop they sat, enjoying the most expensive view and the waitresses and the busgirl who looked down on them were now fawning upon them like they were their money trees.

Ye Liu sipped upon his tea that had a faint delicate scent. Putting down his cup he sneered. "What's there for you to be surprised about? Hasn't it always been like this? Even our 'Dear relatives' looked down on us because they earned more than us. It's all about either money or power -nothing else."

Shen Li didn't pick up his tea though Chen Mi had deliberately ordered the most expensive tea to show it off to the bus girl who was shocked to see the three of them. 

He still couldn't bring himself to take a sip. Sighing he added: "I just hope that Dong Dong doesn't get in any trouble, she is so impulsive sometimes -"

"Don't worry Brother Li...Wife is smart she won't cause any trouble don't worry." Although Ye Liu said that- he too looked just as concerned. 

While Chen Mi's eyes were locked on the tavern. "It would be nice if wife just drops the idea altogether. If you ask me that Xiao Hua is not worth it. He didn't say anything when others were spending their entire family's saving on him! But now that the trouble has come knocking on his door… Hmph! Who is he to want our wife to protect him? If he was so pure then why didn't he leave earlier?"

Shen Li and Ye Liu didn't say anything but in their heart, they were definitely thinking the same.

-

"Sister Tong isn't that your cousin?" Yu Dong wasn't the only one who was used to frolicking around with beauties. 

Yu Tong was the same she too liked to waste her time in the tavern. The only difference was that she was a little more controlled compared to Yu Dong who didn't know we had was good for her. 

Yu Tong looked up from the face of the beautiful Mer she was holding in her arms. 

Although she was reluctant to do so, why will she care about her cousin when she had a beautiful Mer in her arms but Yu Tong was also a  little envious of her cousin from the past few months. 

The latter was getting better and better. Before when Yu Dong was nothing but a useless street rat, she had the chance to shine in the village everyone used to praise her saying that how she was better in everything and her morals were so good that they even praised her daddy for teaching her well.

The Mers of the village use ask her daddy about the secret of raising such a good daughter like her when she had a cousin like Yu Dong but ever since Yu Dong turned a new leaf, no one cared about her.

The villagers all talked about Yu Dong saying that she was just a phoenix who was sleeping. 

And just like that she became a magpie who was holding the phoenix's nest! 

Even her grandma kept telling her to learn from Yu Dong as for her daddy, that old man was getting senile by the day.

How can Yu Tong swallow this humiliation! She was looking forward to Yu Dong's big slip up. 

So that she will be able to embarrass Yu Dong just the way she deserved -and finally her patience was rewarded!

Yu Dong really messed up! She came to the Tavern. Hehe let's see how the Mers in the village will sing her praises once she let this news slip!

"Eh? but why is she going to the tavern mistress's room?" Exclaimed the Little Mer startling Yu Tong.
