Chapter 180 – Sour Like Vinegar

Zhu Qian was at home alone and he didn't know a thing about the Yu family having such a plan. He was just a mer and have never paid unnecessary attention to the drama of his master's family. Thus, when Old-man Yu and Qiu Bai knocked on Yu Dong's house shouting and crying that the old woman of the Yu family have fallen sick, Zhu Qian hurriedly opened the door to check what happened but who would have known that he second he opened the door, two masked figures would suddenly barge inside the house after shoving him down! Zhu Qian was weak, to begin with, his body was yet to recover from all the sufferings he went through in the Lang family, thus when the masked figure pushed him forcefully, he fell on his back, knocking his forehead on the raised platform on the threshold of the house. The knock wasn't soft either immediately blood gushed out and Zhu Qian cried in pain – at this time many mers and the women were working on the fields so no one heard his scream, only Lang Ru, Yu Mai and little bun were at home, the three dashed out and in little bun's situation crawled out like a super baby.

But what can three kids do? Lang Ru who saw her daddy bleeding on the floor immediately rushed to help him up while Yu Mai picked up a broom and started hitting the two masked figures " Thief! Thief !" He cried but his voice was soft and so was his hits, there was no effect on the two thieves who pushed him down like Zhu Qian and snatched not one but ten to twenty climbers that had rich, fat and sweet grapes on them.

" You bastards! You stay there for me " Zhu Qian limped over to the backyard with a bamboo stick in his hand, this was the same stick that his wife used to learn martial arts with sister Dong and was both lights in carrying yet heavy while hitting " How dare you to steal? How dare you steal from us in broad daylight !"

Zhu Qian rushed forward with a battle cry and so did the children but the two thieves seemed to have rather thick skin, they didn't even when they hit them and just ran out of the house while Zhu Qian and the others ran after them. However, Zhu Qian was new in the village and didn't know about all the twists and shortcuts, thus he couldn't keep up with the two thieves and could only sullenly return back home.

" Daddy, Daddy are you okay? You are bleeding so much ?" The wound on Zhu Qian's forehead wasn't shallow, it was bleeding so much that half of his face was covered with blood. Thus, Lang Ru was really worried about her daddy, her mother asked her to take care of her daddy yet she couldn't do anything as he daddy was attacked, her eyes turned red as she looked at the injury on her daddy's forehead " Daddy,waaa, you are hurt so much, its all my fault,wuwuwu"

" Don't cry, don't cry girls don't cry, what will everyone say ?.. It doesn't hurt that much, just go with Mai and bring me some water from the well, I will wash my wound and everything will be alright" though Zhu Qian didn't know how it happened but every time, he washed his injuries with the water fetched from the well, his injuries will get better faster.

Lang Ru did as her daddy told her, even though she wanted to cry she didn't… instead, she ran back to the backyard and brought back the water for her daddy to clean his wounds.

" What bastards! Not a good thing comes from people like those " cursed Zhu Qian as he cleaned Yu Mai's wounds first before taking care of his, Yu Mai was pushed by the two thieves and got many scratches in his palms, if not cleaned properly it might hurt more later on. " they are really- I don't even know what to say! Stealing, hurting little kids I wish Karma strike them good!"

Lang Ru looked at her daddy who was cursing the two thieves and silently prayed for herself, once her mother returns she will definitely punish her for not taking care of her daddy and Yu Mai as well as little bun, they all were mers and it was her responsibility to protect them as the only woman in the family!

" Achoo" Lang who was walking behind Yu Dong sneezed, rubbing her nose she couldn't help but ponder who was talking behind her back.

—————-

" Wife, I have already talked to the mers in the shop, they said that this shop is the best for our new business"

" I have also calculated the monthly expenditure, if we successfully get that shop then we will be fine as long as there are no extra expenses "

" Dong Dong, the shopkeeper is looking for a buyer in a hurry we should first check out the situation-"

" Wife-"

"Dong Dong "

"Dong Dong -"

Yu Dong felt her head throb, she should have known that the matter will escalate to this situation- on her left arm was Chen Mi who was clutching her like she was a small child who will get lost if he let her go, on the right arm was Ye Liu though he wasn't hanging on to her like Chen Mi, his constant babbling about the calculations that he did were making her ears rot – what number was this? Didn't she already hear it before this and before this? How many times has he repeated it already?

As for Shen Li, well the latter could be considered normal if only he wasn't walking behind her acting as a human wall between her and the mers. Did they not trust her still?

If Shen Li and the other two knew what she was thinking then they would have immediately told her that it wasn't her whom they didn't trust, it was a certain obnoxious mer whom they didn't trust … don't think that they didn't see the furtive interested glances he was shooting their wife when they were eating lunch!

Xiao Hua, the obnoxious mer "…."

" They look really possessive of her, " said Li Hanjing with a soft chuckle " no wonder she doesn't have any bad thoughts regarding us, they keep a close check on her"

" Hmm who wants her to have bad thoughts about us, they are idiots if they think that anyone of us will even give a single glance, humph " though Xiao Hua scoffed like he couldn't care less about the fact that he couldn't see Yu Dong, his tone reeked of vinegar.

Li Hanjing glanced at him and smiled knowingly without saying anything.
