Chapter 966: The life of an alone mer ——2

Li Yuya hugged her father in the bed while looking at their two-person house,  she happily rubbed her small face against Yu Le and then sighed with contentment, " Father, this is really nice. I never thought that a small house can be this good, even this Kang is really good. I don't feel cold, Father!"      

Yu Le smiled as he looked at his daughter and then brought her to the backyard where he helped his daughter wipe her face. With a gentle smile on his face, he gave Li Yuya, a small piece of wisdom, "That's because you have everything in the small house. A big house does not matter as long as your small home is filled with warmth and happiness."      

The reason they were not happy at the Li house which was bigger than the one where they were living now because they did not have anything to call their own. Even the pillow they slept on could be replaced by anyone as long as they felt the need to exchange the two pillows but this house, Yu Le made it with his own bride price and thus everything inside belonged to him and his daughter.      

No one was going to snatch anything from Li Yuya ever again! He was going to make sure of it, so what if his wife was a useless good for nothing? He was still there for his daughter.      

Li Yuya wiped her face with a clean towel and then nodded along with her father. She nodded and then said, "You are right father, this house belongs to us and no one will hurt Yuya by taking her things away."      

Though Li Yuya was young she was smart enough to know that she was not well-liked by her maternal family.     

Seeing his daughter smile, Yu Le felt his heart squeeze. He hugged Li Yuya in his arms and then brought her back to the small house before tucking her inside the bed and saying, " Stay inside and if you are hungry go and ask Brother Mi to cook something for you. I will go and take a look at the fields."      

While he was staying with the Yu family his mother, Yu Le expressed his intentions of starting to work again. Even though his mother said that there was no need for him to work anymore as she was going to take care of him all his life, Yu Le still did not want to become a burden on his mother. He wished to earn his keep instead of relying on his elderly mother, it was then ——     

Yu Dong invited him to work for her, saying that she was the owner of the village and asked him to take a look at the field that he wanted to cultivate. As long as the crops did good, all he needed to do was to share fifty per cent of the benefits while keeping the other half to himself, she originally wanted to go against the contract and give him a seventy to thirty-one without any risks but Yu Le did not listen.      

He took the fifty fifty-one as he was not skilled in farming and was afraid that the seeds that he was going to sow might not grow properly. But what he did not know was that Yu Dong had long replaced the common seeds with the high-yield ones as Yu Le was her family and she knew that he was not a slacker who would ruin the seeds by not paying attention to them.     

" Don't worry father, I will stay inside and not leave the house," Li Yuya nodded as she agreed with her father's words and then closed her eyes to take a nap.      

Seeing that his daughter was acting so obediently, Yu Le sighed in relief and then turned to leave.      

The moment, he left Li Yuya opened her eyes and all traces of a smile disappeared from her lips before she slid down the bed and chased after her father who was walking out of the house. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at her father and sighed,  " I am so sorry father, its because of me that you have to leave in such cold weather and work hard like this, if I have endured the grievances then nothing like this would have happened because you would have never divorced with mother if not for me. Father, don't worry, I will work hard… I will become a rich woman and bring you all the happiness in this world."      

Li Yuya thought that her father liked her mother and thus, even though Li Sangyu did not care for him, her father never brought up divorce because he liked her mother. Even though Li Yuya often questioned what was the point of staying in a family like theirs but that was until she noticed a widowed mer being dragged by a woman in an abandoned building.      

Though Li Yuya did not know what the woman did to the widowed mer, she knew that it was nothing good as one day later the mer killed himself by drowning in the river along with his children.      

At that moment, Li Yuya grew up and all of her childish innocence was tainted.      

She learned that the reason why her father was staying with her mother was not because he liked her but because he was aware of the dangers outside for an alone mer. He silently shed tears in the night because he wanted to stay alive and if he was to leave the protection of her mother, who knew what might happen to him?      

Thus, Li Yuya learned from her father. She learned how to suffer in silence and never cry in pain because she did not wish to see her father leave her mother. But what she did not want to happen already happened and now all Li Yuya could hope was for her father's safe return every day while at the same time wishing to grow up as soon as possible.      

As long as she was as tall as her mother, no one will dare to touch her father and push him into a corner where he will have to take a drastic step!
