" Ahem, did you have a good time at the town?" seeing that they were drifting

  o course, Shen Li cleared his throat and asked the thing that was the most

  important among everything else. He needed to change the topic or else who

  knows how bad Yu Dong's expression might get, just look at that sullen

  expression it looked like she would strangle anyone who tried to look at her son

  in the wrong manner.

  Hearing his words Yu Dong calmed a little, it would be hard for her to say that

  she wasn't rued by what they said, humph what do they mean by that her

  daughter in law might not be willing to indulge little bun's temper if she can't

  even indulge him this much then she might not as well get married to her son,

  end of the story. What was there to think about this? However since they have

  dropped the matter she would look too petty if she continued to harp on it so it

  was better for her to not say anything, and she also didn't show them a bad

  expression and answered " It was good, the shopping for the wedding is mostly

  done, so I don't need to go to the town for the rest of the month." Then she

  remembered about the small gifts that Fang Chi has brought, so she quickly

  added " Chi brought you all some gifts, so, he might be coming tomorrow to

  visit."

  Perhaps due to the last time they saw Fang Chi cry, the three of them had a

  good feeling toward Fang Chi, when they heard that he bought gifts for them

  while he was already on a tight budget, the three of them couldn't help but feel

  a bit upset as they looked at each other then turned to look at Yu Dong again.

  " Surely, it's not necessary right?" asked Ye Liu, he thought that spending an

  extra sum on the three of them while Fang Chi needed to save it for his

  wedding, Ye Liu thought that it wasn't right of them to just take Fang Chi's

  gifts like that. After all, they knew in what kind of conditions Fang Chi and his

  grandmother was living in, it wasn't easy for them to go make all the

  arrangements for the wedding by themselves but because they had their own

  pride they were not willing to accept a single cent from Yu Dong, at such a

  husky strung time, they shouldn't add troubles to Fang Chi's problem even if

  they couldn't help him, right?

  Yu Dong understood what Ye Liu meant and she was relieved after nding out

  that her husbands had good feelings towards Fang Chi and were worried about

  him, she smiled and patted the back of his hand then cracked her sti neck to

  relieve some of the stress and tension, " I did say that it was unnecessary and

  he can always buy something for you three later on but he was adamant. That's

  why when he comes to see you three tomorrow, just take his gifts. Think of

  them as his goodwill."

  When Yu Dong put the matter like that they couldn't say anything, those gifts

  that Fang Chi bought for them were certainly lled with his honest feelings, if

  they refused then it might hurt Fang Chi's feelings. So, the three didn't discuss

  anything about this matter any further.

  " I cooked some radish pancakes and porridge for dinner, I will go and heat up

  the food for you," said Shen Li as he handed Yu Dong a towel to clean her feet

  then turned around and walked into the kitchen. While he was heating up the

  food, Yu Dong cleaned her feet and then picked up the foot basin before

  dumping the dirty water outside.

  She placed the foot basin and sat down on the chair next to Chen Mi before

  taking the towel from him and started drying his hair. The mers of this era had

  long hair that was thick and black. It was rather dicult for them to take care

  of their long hair, especially if the mer was as impatient as Chen Mi would start

  to tug and pull when his hair didn't dry quickly. " How many times have I told

  you to dry your hair gently, don't always tug and pull, if this goes on you will be

  the rst mer who will go bald."

  Chen Mi pouted as he threw his head and looked at her upside down as he

  unhappily spoke " I will not. Don't say such things, you should know by now

  that a mer cares most about his beauty."

  Yu Dong smiled in amusement before she straightened his head up and nished

  o drying his hair. " If you are so worried about your beauty then you should at

  least take care of it properly."

  Ye Liu who was sitting next to Chen Mi laughed. " You are asking for a miracle,

  Dong Dong. Everyone in the family knows that Mi cannot sit still for long"

  " Brother Liu!"

  " What? I am saying the truth."

  " Alright, that's enough." Shen Li who returned with the piping hot food,

  immediately put a stop to the rising argument before it could get serious, he

  placed the dishes on the table and wiped his hands on the apron that Yu Dong

  has brought out of her space. " You two are already so old yet you are ghting

  like three-year-old kids."

  " but brother Liu teased me rst."

  " I did not, I just said what was the truth."

  " See"

  Shen Li had a headache, the two of them had long shed their wariness and were

  now as playful as a bunch of young kids. Seeing them ght like this he turned

  around to look at Yu Dong who was silently eating her meal, with an

  exasperated expression he looked at her and pointed at Chen Mi and Ye Liu who

  were bickering and growling at each other, he placed his hand on his waist and

  exclaimed, " are you not going to say anything?"

  Yu Dong who have just taken a bite of porridge choked, she glanced at her two

  young husbands who were so busy bad-mouthing each other that they didn't

  even have any idea what was going on in their surroundings and shrugged, "

  What can I do, it's not like they listen to me."

  Shen Li "……" That's true but can you at least try before giving up like that? What

  happened to your authority as the head of the house.

  Yu Dong munching on her pancake: I ate it.
