Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 900: Can we really stay
Chapter 900: Can we really stay
Though Second Aunt Yu wanted to deal with Li Hanjing at once since she could not allow someone like him to taint their Yu family, she could not do anything for the time being as the snow made it impossible for them to return home, they could only stay in the bunker.
Fortunately, Yu Dong and Village head Gu had saved enough food in the bunker. Though it was not enough for them to eat it for months but it was enough for them to eat for three weeks and during these three weeks Yu Dong with her flame thrower which she casually mentioned that it was a gift from an official melted most of the snow which was covering their houses.
Since no one was buried inside the snow they did not have to be too careful with dried wood and enough flames which were controlled the Big River Villagers somehow managed to clean the snow which was covering their houses.
"It's good to be back home!" Chen Mi rushed inside the house after three weeks of torment and then plopped on the bed. Yu Dong had used thick wooden logs and bricks to remodel their house which was why not only was it still standing upright, it was warmer than outside.
Though the chicken coops which they built were squashed to nothing but pulp but there was nothing to worry about it. They had already sent their animals which they were raising to Aunt Wang's home since the damage there was not as big as their own house.
Chen Mi lazily arced his back on the comfortable couch and then curled his toes as he said, " My back was going to get snapped into half if we continued to stay at the bunker."
He was not lying, the bunker though warm was not enough to live inside it, there was nothing that would give them comfort. If not for having no other choice, Chen Mi would not have stayed in that place —— sleeping on the harsh ground did some funny things to his back.
Ye Liu agreed with him with a soft hum as he turned to look at Yu Dong who was already working in the kitchen and asked, " What are you doing?"
" I am making some pork and vegetable soup, it is just nice to have it in winter," though Yu Dong did not show it on her face, she was craving meat but because of the conditions, they were she could not possibly take out the meat which was stored in her space. It will only raise further questions which was why she could only keep her craving to herself but now that she was back home, she could cook something warm which would heat her stomach as well as others.
" Oh, are you cooking something?" A voice wafted over to where she was standing and Yu Dong who was chopping the pork belly suddenly raised the knife in her hand and then brought it down heavily before looking at Yun Xuan. She had to say that this mer's skin was so thick that it could challenge the wall which they used to build outside the bases to keep zombies away.
" You are still here?" She asked as she added the fermented soybeans paste inside the pot which had boiling water and was close to coming out of the pot since Yu Dong was blasting the flame at the highest.
Yun Xuan was not all bothered by her question and hummed softly before sitting down on the couch after nudging Chen Mi aside as he looked at Yu Dong and replied, " I have nowhere to go, my wife is missing and I have no relatives or friend in this town, other than you who is my benefactor, I have no one else in this place."
As he spoke he even let out one or two sad sighs causing the mers in the room to look at him with red eyes as if they truly believed his nonsense.
Yu Dong was speechless as she looked at the mers, she wanted to tell them that it was not the truth but under Yun Xuan's excellent brainwashing skills no matter what she said they did not believe that anything was wrong, in fact, they lapped up everything that he said.
On the other hand, Ning Yu and Shi Xi with their three kids were looking especially out of place as they stood on the side with awkward expressions and then Yu Dong heard Ning Yu speak, " Is this okay? Can we really stay here?"
As he spoke, he looked at the big house which was warm and full of basic necessities, he never thought that Shen Li was no longer living in the small house where even finding a piece of meat was impossible.
His eyes fell on the thick pork belly which was being sliced by Yu Dong and instinctively gulped such a thick pork belly …he had never seen one like this ever in his life, even getting a single slice was impossible. To think that Yu Dong can slice something he could not even dream of without any trouble, if someone gave him such a big piece of pork belly he would have died of happiness.
Because in his eyes this was nothing but a dream.
"It's all right," Yu Dong replied as she glanced at Yun Xuan silently telling him that he should act more like Ning Yu given that he did not even have the slightest bit of a relationship with her and yet he was acting so freely in her house as if he was the one who was her father!
Yun Xuan didn't pay attention to Yu Dong instead he turned to look at Chen Mi and started talking with him, seeing that mer acted like such Yu Dong was furious! But she still calmed down and then turned to look at her father-in-law and then said in a calm voice, " Li, already told me that he wanted to take you away from your wife and eldest daughter. You don't need to worry about anything and leave everything to me for the time being, as for the rest you can tell Ah Li what you want."
Ning Yu did not expect Yu Dong to say something like this which was why he immediately turned to look at Shen Li and said, " I cannot disturb daughter-in-law like this …we will leave after the snow cleans up a bit more."
It was soon going to be the new year and he could not stay in the house of his son whom he had basically sold away, he was not that shameless. What was more, Ning Yu knew that Yu Dong treated Shen Li really well and it was nothing like how his wife told him, even though Shen Li did not have a child, she could see that he was the one who was treated the best by Yu Dong.
With this alone he was satisfied there was no need to stay in their house.
Yu Dong chopped the radish before turning to look at Shen Li who nodded and then turned to look at his father and said in a stern yet calm voice, " Father, I am not saying that you are not good enough but after what happened with the kids, do you still thinks it's fine for you to live like you used to?"
When Ning Yu heard Shen Li's voice he stiffened before saying in a quiet voice, " I … I can work … soon the snow will melt and then the house owners will start hiring help that way … we will be fine, I cannot become a burden on you when I did nothing to help you."
Shen Li sighed he knew that his marriage was a thorn in the eyes of his father and then stood up from the small couch as he walked forward and then took his father's hands in his own and then remarked in a soft voice, " Father I know that you have plans but the thing is that none of those plans are going to work, you might not know but Dong Dong told us that there will be a locust plague in the summers."
The constant rain which happened during the flood caused many locusts to give birth, even though it was snowing heavily, there was no guarantee that there will not be a locust plague given that Yu Dong still haven't changed her stance.
" W…What?" Ning Yu was startled when he heard that there will be a locust plague, if there was a locust plague then how will he protect his children?
Yu Dong poured the ingredients into a large pot and left the soup to boil as she turned to look at Ning Yu and then calmly remarked, "It's just my deduction, I am not sure about it but I did see a few swarms of locust flying near the mountains, right now they must have died but we cannot be sure about the eggs that they have laid if they hatch in springs then there might be a plague."
