Chapter 936: Cheesy meat balls ——2
------------------Old Master Tong knew that he couldn't make a fuss anymore which was why he agreed with Yu Dong. As the saying goes, the monk can run but the temple can't! Even if Old Madam Yu runs away, Yu Dong will stay in the village as she had the responsibility to develop this village.
And it was not as if he really wanted to marry Old Madam Yu, he just wanted someone to take the blame such that he will not have to be embarrassed. As long as someone was there to shield him from getting publicly embarrassed, he was going to be fine.
Since he had already made a fuss, it wasn't as if people were going to forget everything in just a day. Thus, Old Master Tong agreed and then went back home with Second Aunt Yu but before leaving he did not forget to leave a threat behind that if they were to refuse taking responsibility of him, then he was going to hang himself in front of the Yu house. Of course that was a lie but they did not have to know it.
Yu Dong waved the stubborn mer off before she returned home with her husbands. No sooner did they all step inside the house, than the three mers immediately burst into complaints.
" I am not allowing him to marry into our family, you have no idea how he is… he will send all the grains to Yu Cheng and will not leave any for us, when Mi was pregnant, mother-in-law caught a goose and brought it to nourish him but Old Master Tong sent it away to Yu Cheng. When mother-in-law made a fuss, he scolded her and called her unfilial! Mi was waiting for that goose!" Ye Liu rumbled behind him Shen Li also nodded as he put in a few words as well,
"That's right, Old Master Tong often sent me to work around the house. He would push me to clean, cook and even massage his legs… I am pregnant now, I can't do such things!"
" I don't want him in my family!" Chen Mi announced loudly.
Neither of them cared about the fact that Old Madam Yu was standing next to them but even though their words were a bit over the top, they were the truth and Old Madam Yu did not stop them even though she did not wish to marry that selfish mer and then bring him back home with her.
" All right, all right, I understand," Yu Dong raised her hand and then said, " You all don't need to ruin your mood because of this matter, since I have asked for a night, I will solve this matter in a night all right? So stop feeling annoyed."
Only then did the mers calm down, they were afraid that they will have to suffer under Old Master Tong's tyranny once again.
Yu Dong then turned to look at Old Madam Yu and asked, " Grandmother can you tell me what happened?"
No sooner did she say those words, Old Madam Yu's cheeks flushed which caused Yu Dong to feel a bit stifled as she asked with a horrified face, " Don't tell me you——"
" Of course not, who do you take me as?" Old Madam Yu rolled her eyes, she was just embarrassed talking about something like this with her granddaughters and grand mer sons-in-law. " I did not do anything with him, though when he approached me…he deliberately acted like your biological grandfather as he knew that I still adore your grandfather… but I wasn't drunk to the point that I will misunderstand him. I pushed him away but something in my drink made it impossible for me to push him as I felt a bit too weak. After telling him to leave, I fell unconscious when I woke up … I was surrounded by people who were telling me that I made a mess for you."
The more Old Madam Yu thought about it, the angrier she became. " Who does he think he is?" She snapped. " I might be old but I am not insane to the point that I will accept him back!"
She was living a wonderful life, all day she only need to eat and work in the small fields behind the house. There was no yelling and screaming neither was there a mer who told her all day long that she was useless.
Yu Dong heaved a sigh of relief and then said, " As long as you did not sleep with him there is still a chance for this situation to be turned around." Her words caused the mers and Old Madam Yu to cheer up but even so they looked a tad bit worried with everyone witnessing the scene of Old Madam Yu and Old Master Tong entangled together on the bed, who will think otherwise?
Seeing that they were still worrying, Yu Dong smiled and said, " What are you thinking so hard for? Don't worry, I am not a fool who doesn't know what I am doing," she paused and then snapped her fingers before saying, " Do you know what you all need? It's cheesy pearl meatballs. They are perfect to eat in the new year."
" Pearl meatballs? What's that ?" Shen Jin asked from his bed as he looked at Yu Dong with shiny eyes. Ever since he started to live with Yu Dong, he was allowed to eat all kinds of delicious things without any restrictions.
Yu Dong's eyes glinted with a mysterious glimmer as she said, " You will know very soon."
With that she walked inside the kitchen behind her, Chen Mi followed to help as he did not wish to leave everything on Yu Dong's head.
Though the pearl meatballs with cheese dripping down them were delicious to eat, it took a long time for them to get ready which was why Yu Dong sent everyone to take a break before she started preparing the ingredients to make cheese.
