Chapter 209 - From Where Babies Come From
Yu Dong had no choice, her grandma was a frivolous character, she was shrewd and calculative when her grandma was in her thirties her grandfather made the mistake of cheating on her. Her grandmother was a self woman who could be considered a novice in the business world while her grandfather had a great backing and with two kids in her lap, she should have suffered this injustice silently …… well that was what was expected of her grandma but instead of swallowing this bitter pill silently her grandmother rose to her feet, and let out a roar against the injustice.
And even in those times, she somehow managed to rip her grandfather off, all the way down until he had to sell even his underpants. Because her grandma was a firm believer of ' love someone wholeheartedly', the fact that she had three husbands and another one was in the making, she knew that her grandma would end up either chopping her hair like a monk and make her write all the teachings about loyalty and whatnot she had given her or she might add laxatives in her food sneakily someday, with her grandma's vindictive streak the latter was more likely possible to happen.
So she had no choice but to make her grandma happy, just in case, her grandma decided that she needed another lesson on her manners.
That mollified her grandma who got off her back and went back to her resplendent self at once. She spread open her fan and covered half of her face with as she said " humph don't think that this changes anything, to think that you will goof around with three mers like this, I have fed all my teachings to a little pig I tell you! How could you even do something like that? Don't you think its cheating? Hmm?" Wu Junfen questioned her one after another and if that wasn't enough, she even smacked her cheeks left and right with her paper fan, it didn't hurt but it sure annoyed her.
Yu Dong leaned back and unhappily whined "It's not like I wanted to do that too, alright? I had a responsibility to take on I couldn't just abandon them, you might already know about this don't you?"
" Oho, so you mean to say that you haven't done anything like tasting meat or anything, hmm? Do you just enjoy it from afar? Is that it?" Wu Junfen smiled so sweetly that Yu Dong felt a shiver danced up her spine. She really didn't want to deal with her grandma, she was so ….troublesome.
Yu Dong swallowed " the meat was too fragrant, I couldn't resist it" she answered as she looked away from Wu Junfen knowing fully well what was going to come and sure enough a second later, her right ear was twisted and Yu Dong danced on her tippy toes " is that so hmm, is that so? You hooligan! Philander! You are just like that bastard can't keep it in your pants huh"
" Oww what the hell" Yu Dong cursed as she hopped and shook her head to get rid of Wu Junfen's grip on her ear " Can't I just love them equally? It's not like I am not taking responsibility! Unlike grandpa who just poked, thrust and had fun, I am being completely honest here, I might not be loyal in your dictionary but you can ask those three, I have been completely honest with them since day one and they know everything about me."
Once she said that Wu Junfen's grip on her ear loosened and she retreated a few steps back " very well then I will ask them"
Rubbing her ears Yu Dong looked at her like her grandma had gone crazy " what do you mean by that?"
Wu Junfen patted her shoulder and smiled like a flower blooming in the spring but to Yu Dong, this smile looked like she was being pulled into the pits of hell " Didn't you say that I should ask them? Then I will go and ask them" she even winked at her as she turned around " I will tell them that there is no need to think that no one can rein on you and they need to suffer under your tyranny. If they want I, will be their backer. Let's see how well you can practice what you preach"
Yu Dong immediately knew her days in the future were going to be hard, not because she was afraid that her husbands might complain to Wu Junfen about her treating them wrongly because she will never do that but – Wu Junfen was someone who crazily sympathized with anyone whom she thought was getting wronged, most probably she will spoil her husbands rotten and she will be the one who will have a hard time restraining them.
She let out a sigh but then as she thought about something looked at Wu Junfen vanishing behind and called out " you… if you knew that it was I all along why didn't you show yourself earlier?"
Wu Junfen didn't stop nor did she turn back to look at Yu Dong but her melancholic voice travelled over to Yu Dong from afar " because I didn't want to believe that my granddaughter died young"
——————-
When Yu Dong returned home her mood was complicated just when she thought that her grandma was still a hard-hearted person, she would turn around and show a subtle hint of weakness that will cause Yu Dong to feel uncomfortable. Maybe she should have been a bit nicer to her, maybe next time she will make some beef jerky for her grandma liked-
That was the last thought that she had when she entered her house and saw a spectacular scene- on the bamboo couch Lang Ru and Yu Mai was sleeping next to each other and they were even holding hands, she turned to Ye Liu who was sketching the scene with a great determination and then looked at Shen Li who promptly answered her questioning gaze " Mai was upset and wouldn't sleep without someone holding him but I had dishes to wash and Liu had to wash the laundry, so we asked him to wait a bit but he was too sleepy and went to look for Ruru, Brother Qian is still hurt so he couldn't sleep with Mai who is a bit restless so Ruru brought him here and the two kids slept together"
Yu Dong blinked and reeled in the entire information that Shen Li had told her and then she looked at the two kids sleeping, truly they looked adorable like little angels but Yu Dong felt like someone has just stolen her cabbage that she raised with great efforts. It made her feel even more complicated as she looked at Lang Ru hugging Yu Mai, without Lang Ru's knowing her name was underlined red in Yu Dong's heart.
Yu Dong turned to look at Shen Li and Ye Liu and asked " is this okay? Them sleeping together?"
"it's okay, it's okay. They are still kids" said Ye Liu finishing the last touches to his sketch as he turned it around " it's cute right?"
It was but Yu Dong really didn't want a memento of her brother sleeping with a stinky brat… one of these days she will burn this sketch.
Neither Shen Li nor Ye Liu knew what was going on in her mind, they thought she was worried about two kids of opposite gender sleeping together so they simply said " its no problem at all"
And they couldn't have been any more wrong because the next day, Yu Mai asked the most complicated question after he returned from playing around in the village " Third brother in law, from how a baby is made?"
Since Chen Mi alone had a baby, so he became the target of Yu Mai and Lang Ru's fervent gazes as he uncomfortably shuffled and said awkwardly " when two people sleep together" he didn't dare to discuss it in detail but his short sentence caused huge waves in Lang Ru and Yu Mai's hearts as the two of them turned to look at each other … both of them had the same expression of shock.
