Chapter 795: Is this all ?
" Who are you calling a jinx? If there is any bigger jinx than your family then I will take my hat off for you!" Aunt Wang was also among the women who were in charge of bringing Old Madam Hu to the shack, she turned to look at Old Master Tong and glared at the mer as if she wished to eat him alive. " Your family's Qiu Bai caused Dong Dong to lose a child, that too, a daughter! You better not run your mouth or else I will tear it for you!" She then turned to look in the direction of Chu Cheng's house and then pointed at the small building fiercely before saying, " Chu Cheng got pregnant before Fang Chi but his child's due date is not for another week, do you want me to spell it out for you what kind of damages your family's Qiu Bai had caused Dong Dong and little Chi?"
" What do you mean by my family's Qiu Bai? My daughter has already divorced that evil mer!" Old Master Tong felt that his tail had been stepped on when he heard Aunt Wang call him out on the matter of Qiu Bai. After Qiu Bai was caught poisoning Yu Dong's husbands, not only did they have to fork compensation to Yu Dong but also hand so many mus of land to Yu Dong but also suffer silently under the judgemental glares of the villagers.
It was a good thing that he asked his daughter to divorce that evil thing as soon as possible but even so, he was still being scolded because he was the ex-father-in-law of that mer! What a sin!
" So what if she divorced him? Did she not divorce him after all the damages were done? You are fortunate enough that Yu Dong is not asking for more, what your son-in-law did was enough to drive you all out of the village! Now she is the owner of this village, do you want me to tell her that you called her newborn child a jinx? Let's see what she will say to you tomorrow!" Aunt Wang fiercely scolded Old Master Tong not giving him another chance to say anything.
Old Master Tong's face turned red and then blue before he rolled his eyes and then turned to leave, he was only making a remark about why did she have to jump on him as he ran away after snatching her family's fortune!
" You better not say the same thing ever again! I am giving you one last chance, Old Tong!" Aunt Wang harumphed behind Old Master Tong as she turned to look at the villagers and then said fiercely, " You all as well, don't even think about a such nonsensical thing. Dong Dong's kid was born just today but Old Madam Hu and her husbands caught flu days ago, it's just that we just found out today! If I were to speak of this matter, then I think that the child is a lucky star, if we did not find out about this matter tonight, who knows maybe we would have lost a mer or a child tonight!"
Aunt Wang was afraid that these villagers will listen to the nonsense of Old Master Tong and go along with his stupid nonsense, which was why she deliberately said the last few words.
" Aunt Wang is right," Village head Gu chimed in as well since she knew how superstitious the villagers can be when they wanted to which was why she looked at them sternly and then said, " The Big Stone village will definitely attack tonight, make sure that you do not let your mers and children out, no matter what!"
The women of the village nodded as they all looked at each other and agreed with the words that Aunt Wang and Village Head Gu said to them. The arrival of the child brought such a piece of grave news which was being suppressed and hidden from them by the husbands of Old Madam Hu, how was that child a jinx? He was clearly a blessing! If not for the fact that they did not know that Old Madam Hu's husbands had given rations to their sons who lived in the Big Stone village, they all would have been attacked without a chance to retaliate!
It was a good thing that they found out about this matter!
…..
While the villagers of the Big River village were preparing themselves for the attack of the Big Stone village, the villagers of the Big Stone Village were looking at the village head who was staring at the ration which was brought by Hu Bing and Hu Pan.
" This is all that you could get ?" Village head Chou looked at the small container which had rice and the sack of sweet potatoes with a frown, she deliberately sent the mers who married from the Big River village to her village since she knew that the Big River Village was the only village which had the least amount of casualties because of the flood.
She thought that the villagers of that village might have enough food kept in stock if not how else were they able to survive without meeting a bad end?
But no matter how many mers, she sent to the Big River Village they returned with the same words that their in-laws had no money nor grains!
Village head Gu was furious as she looked at the pitiful amount of grains and then banged her hand on the table which was sitting next to her as she glared at Hu Bing and Hu Pan who were kneeling on the ground while trembling and shivering in fright and fever.
" You all are useless, how can you not get a simple thing done? Do you wish me to drag your children and have them cooked like the weaker ones ?" Village head Gu asked with anger brimming in her eyes, she did not want to eat the children of her village as well but they were on the verge of starvation, if they don't find a way to save themselves then they all will surely die!
