Chapter 960: A son alive is better than dead—-2

" You heard that right?" Yu Dong turned to look at the Li family while cracking her fists behind her Yu Tong also rolled her sleeves. Though there were five women in the Li family they were nowhere strong as Yu Dong and Yu Tong who ate meat and a balanced meal each day without a miss. More importantly, their bodies were nourished by spiritual energy —— forget about Yu Dong and Yu Tong even Yu Mai can do severe damage to the women of the Li family if he wanted to.          

The Li family was furious but they did not know what to do in the end they signed an IOU saying that they will pay a tael each month until they were done paying the debt that they owed the Yu family, only then did Yu Dong and the rest left.      

Once they were gone, Old Madam Li picked up a broom and rushed to beat her second daughter up. " Are you happy? Satisfied? Because of your foolishness now our family is going to come to an end!" As she said each word, Old Madam Li enunciated each word with a hit, making Li Sangyu cry in pain.      

" What are you doing?" When Old Master Li saw his wife beating his daughter, he was fairly upset and rushed to stop her but he was scolded as well the second he tried to pull the broom out of his wife's hands.      

" Don't you dare! If you try to save her today then you can pack your bags and leave! It's because of her that we are in this situation! Not only did she marry that mer who cannot give birth but she also brought this calamity to our family! Forget about Yuya! I think that it's your daughter who was born as a jinx!"      

" Wife!"      

The Li family was in a mess but no one felt sympathetic towards them. It was their fault for being too inhuman and haughty just because the village head supported them because they had a scholar in their house, the Li family did not look at anyone in the eye and just looked down on everyone —— now it was good, they met a tigress who was bigger and stronger than them!      

She was so great that even the village head of the Li family did not say anything instead she lowered her head and promised Yu Dong that she will take care of the Li family!      

….     

On the other side, Yu Le did not know what happened in the Li family. After he was done taking a bath, he sat huddled on the couch with a blanket wrapped around his body with a cup of hot water in his hands.      

" Uncle Le, would you like to eat some porridge?" Chen Mi asked, though he wished to make something more nutritious for Yu Le, he knew that Yu Le hadn't eaten anything for many days, if he was to cook something heavy then Yu Le was bound to get a stomachache.      

Yu Le shook his head and then said, " I am in no mood to eat anything."      

Now he was a divorced mer with nowhere to go, when he returned he already heard the atrocious actions of his father from the villagers when they all thought that he was sent back by the Li family because of what Old Master Tong did. Just listening to it made him embarrassed and ashamed—— his father, though he knew that his father was a greedy mer who did not care about mer sons and was biased towards daughters and sons, he never thought that his father did not even have the basic morality.      

If his mother was not soft-hearted then his father would have lost his head rather than his property! As for his sister… it was better to not even start on her.      

His father was an embarrassment and his sister was selfish—— how can Yu Le be at ease after eating and sleeping at the house of his niece when she was kicked out without anything? Even his mother did not have anything in her hands.      

Though his mother could live with Yu Dong because she was her elder and was biologically related to Yu Dong. However, he was different, he was just a mer uncle who was related to Yu Dong distantly —— the two of them did not even share the same branch!      

" You have to eat something, Uncle Le," though Chen Mi understood what Yu Le was going through, he still emphasized. " If wife returns home and finds out that I did not feed you and Yuya, she will be upset."      

" You are too kind, I don't deserve such nice treatment," Yu Le smiled wretchedly. He had seen mers returning to the village after getting divorced and forgetting about getting a meal at their maternal family, their parents were so ashamed of them that instead of standing up for their mer sons, they would beg their in-laws to take their mer sons back.     

Only for their mer sons to die mysteriously after a few days.      

They would rather see their sons returning in a coffin and be buried under the name of his wife with honour than see him alive and well in their house with a bad reputation.      

" There is no such thing," Chen Mi waved his hand and then walked towards the kitchen where he picked up the apron and tied it around his waist. " You are family and it will not change no matter what." Because Yu Dong taught him well, Chen Mi no longer looked down on mers who returned home, in his eyes it was the society and the families of those mers who treated them like untouchables —— who were in the wrong. And not the mers.      

' Family?' Yu Le felt his eyes sting as he listened to Chen Mi's words, did he really deserve such nice treatment just because he was family?      

" Thank you," he told Chen Mi with a soft voice. When he returned he was prepared to meet with contemptuous gazes and sneering cold words but he never thought that he would receive a warm welcome with a hot meal.      

Seeing this Yu Le thought that it was worth it…his perseverance and courage. At least this outcome was much better than jumping in the river and ending his life since he thought there was nothing more to stay alive for.      

He looked at his daughter who stared at him cautiously and hugged her —— who said that it was his daughter who was a jinx? If not for her, he would have killed himself as soon as he left the village, it was his daughter who saved him because he was willing to survive for her.
