Chapter 1009: You did a good job
Aunt Wang also needed to get patched up along with Wu Junfen and Yun Xuan. Though the three of them did not hurt anyone when they were fighting in the brawl, they did get hit a lot. Yun Xuan who dealt with the mer who hit Xiao Hua had a swollen eye and his pinky was stomped on… but because he was a mer who trained with his general wife —- he did not suffer much.
His pinky though factured was not shattered to bits and could be treated.
Aunt Wang had a cut on her lips while Wu Junfen had a long gash on her calf that needed suturing but the woman was used to fighting with zombies and thus this injury was nothing in her eyes.
Yu Le looked at his mother and couldn't help but shed a few more tears as he scolded the Peng family, " They are really too much! If mother was not strong enough, they would have killed her! How can they be so ruthless ?!"
" Those bastards, they are truly shameless," Chen Mi couldn't help himself as he hugged the shaken-up Yu Mai in his arms. Seeing Yu Mai's condition even Little Bun did not say anything and allowed his little uncle to stay in the embrace of his father. Even he was more sensible than the Peng family!
Chen Mi patted the shivering Yu Mai and then stated angrily, " They truly deserved to be killed! How can they hit a small child? What if their hits hurt Yu Mai severely ?"
Even though Yu Mai was stomped on, he was protected by Lang Ru really well. However the little girl was not as lucky as Yu Mai, she had fractured her spine as well and now needed to stay in the bed with little to no movement.
Lang Hui was beside himself after seeing his sister all beaten and bruised and was yet to stop crying.
" I am going to kill them!" Lang spoke suddenly. She truly hated that she couldn't protect Yu Mai and Lang Ru. The two kids came to help the adults and got entangled in the mess which had nothing to do with them.
" Enough, what do you think you are doing?" Yu Dong stopped Lang from leaving. " Have you lost your mind? Do you think that I am not feeling angry? But if we were to kill the Peng family what would happen to us? We will only be getting their dirty blood on our hands and don't forget what and which position we are standing now. We are no longer the commoner Yu family … with power comes responsibilities. And as I was given ownership of this village even if I am not assigned the magistrate of this place, I still have people watching me…if something happens to the Peng family who do you think will be blamed? It will be us!"
Zhu Qian also pulled his wife back and then soothed her, " Don't be rash. I know that you are angry with what happened to Ru'er but you cannot just go around killing people now. What's more, they were taken to Yamen, are you going to commit murder under the noses of those officers?" Then he shook his head and guiltily added, "It's my fault. Ru'er told me that she was going outside, I should have stopped her but when she said that it was important I did not hold her back. If I had done that then this would not have happened."
" You are not the only one who is in the wrong, Brother Qian," Shen Li covered his face, he was so worried about Yu Dong that he forgot that Yu Mai and Lang Ru were children. He should have never allowed them to step out and fight with adults. " I should also have stopped Mai and Ru'er…now because of my incompetence the two of them are like this."
Yu Dong on the other hand took Shen Li's hands in hers and wiped his eyes which were filled with tears. She shook her head and then said, "It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself too much, they came here to hurt you and started to beat our family without giving us a chance to retaliate. They were smart enough to attack you all when I wasn't here and if not for their cunningness, do you think I would have let them do something like this?"
She then signed and then turned to look at Fang Chi and Xiao Hua before saying in a slightly reproachful voice, " And you two, how many times I have told you to stay inside when something like this happens? Do you think all women are me? That they will not be able to hit you just because I can't?"
Fang Chi lowered his head guiltily but Xiao Hua looked Yu Dong in the eyes and then snapped loudly, " But they were talking bad about you! They even tried to attack Grandma Yu!"
" I know...but I don't care—— as long I am not here and those who came to look for trouble are not doing anything like barging inside the house, then you need to stay inside. I will deal with them when I come back, understand? There is no need for you all to rush ahead and protect me, it is my responsibility," Yu Dong told Xiao Hua whose expression turned sullen as he started to pout.
Seeing him pout like this Yu Dong shook her head and then continued, " But you two did a good job, I can see that you took my learning to heart and then dealt with your opponents properly. I am sure if not for the fact that they were large in number while relying on unfair means, you two would have beaten them up." She turned to look at Fang Chi and smiled, " Even Chi did a good job … I did not think that my shy husband would be able to hit someone."
Fang Chi's face turned red as he covered his face and then whispered softly, " They were talking bad about you…Before I knew it… I hit them."
