Chapter 1019: The incoming drought

Immediately, Long Ju and Jie Shun caught Song Yixu's arms and then stopped her, "Yixu, let's talk about it all right?" Then they turned to look at Yu Dong before saying in a polite voice, " Sister Yu, right? Don't worry we are willing to pay the advance payment. Two taels for five catties of vegetables right?" With that, both Jie Shun and Long Ju took out the two taels and then handed them to Yu Dong only then did they turn to look at Song Yixu as Long Ju spoke, " All right now? Calm down, we did as you asked us."          

" Humph, don't act like you did it because of me, you did it because you want to eat these vegetables without any restraint," Song Yixu rolled her eyes. She then turned to look at Yu Dong before saying, " Sister Yu, there is no need for you to hand any extra vegetables to these two. Just offer them what they have paid for. Even if they roll on the ground after not getting what they want, just ignore them."      

" Ah Yixu, do you really think that we would do something so childish?" Long Ju asked with a frown as she looked at Song Yixu who turned her head and looked at her with a smile before stating, " I am not saying that you will do something childish like that in front of Yu Dong. I am just warning her as you often do this in front of me."      

With that, the three women continued to quibble once again but Yu Dong did not engage in their conversation as she took her leave. She went to her shop and then took a look at the customers who were filled with complaints.      

Master Xue looked at Yu Dong and then said, " Girl you have to give me a special discount today, you have no idea how many rounds I made in front of your shop in these past three days, look at me… I have gotten so thin!" He pointed to his flat belly and then complained to Yu Dong who smiled at him helplessly and said, " Yes, Yes it's my fault that I did not pay attention to my dear customers, I will willingly take the punishment and offer everyone a five per cent discount today."      

Only then did the mers stop complaining while Song Zhi sighed in relief and then remarked, " Thank goodness that you are here, Sister Dong. I couldn't eat anything ever since you stopped setting up your stall."      

Yu Dong smiled at him and then asked Mammy Lin to add two more eggplants to Song Zhi's bag before apologizing, " I am sorry... there was an impossible matter and I couldn't ignore it for the time being. I hope you did not suffer much ."      

" I did not, it's my wife, Madam Gong who almost rushed to your village upon finding out that your shop was closed," chuckled Song Zhi who remembered how his wife almost threw a tantrum when she found out that her favourite vegetables were not coming to the house. If not for Master Gong who stopped their wife from running out of the house, Yu Dong would be facing a rather serious crime of letting an official starve for three days.      

When Yu Dong heard Song Zhi's words, she laughed and then said, " You can take an extra catty of strawberry with you Master Song, take it as an apology for the trouble I caused."      

" I hope the offer applies to everyone," Qiao Nan spoke as soon as he stepped inside the shop, he was panting slightly and behind him was a woman who was carrying a really big bag. She looked at Yu Dong and smiled before saying, " Hello...Hello."      

Yu Dong blinked her eyes and then turned to look at Qiao Nan who rolled his eyes and then introduced the woman to Yu Dong, " This is my wife, Madam Mo. The master and the heiress of the Mo family, she had gotten used to the taste of your vegetables and was equally upset as Madam Gong which was why she came with me to buy as much as she could today ."      

" Haha, there is no need, I am not going to close my shop anytime soon… it was just because something happened with my family and I had to take a few days off," Yu Dong smiled helplessly at Madam Mo who heaved a sigh of relief while Qiao Nan rolled his eyes and said, " I told you that Miss Yu wouldn't just close her shop."      

Madam Mo felt wronged as she said, "It is not that I did not want to believe you but what was I supposed to do? You might not know that the conditions in the town next to ours are really bad with the lack of rain last year, they did not get enough water to irrigate their crops and now many vegetable vendors are stopping to sell their vegetables and keeping it for their own use."      

She frowned and then added, "Many of my friends think that there is going to be a drought this year, our town might be a bit better because of the flood but if the temperature continues to rise then we might be in a really big trouble."      

Yu Dong heard Madam Mo's words and then asked, " Is the situation outside really that bad?"      

Qiao Nan turned to look at Madam Mo with a blaming look in his eyes and then remarked, " If Miss Yu stops selling her vegetables, then you are the one to blame all right?"      

Even Madam Mo realized that she might have said something that she shouldn't have and immediately became flustered, seeing her flail her hands while trying to come up with a way to deal with the situation, Yu Dong smiled and then said, " There is no need for Madam Mo to worry, I am not going to stop selling my vegetables for the time being.. so don't worry too much you can speak your mind, I am only asking because if that was the case then I might ask my village head to dig more wells in my village."
