Chapter 1014: Start preparing
Yu Dong simply asked the villagers to block anyone from coming in as she was worried that they might create trouble for the rest of the village and because most of the villagers were tired of the constant trouble, they agreed with Yu Dong and stopped the villagers from the other villages to come looking for them.
They had a bunch of things to do from handling the construction of the greenhouses they also needed to start preparing the soil before sowing their crops, they did not have the time to worry about the matter of the other village residents!
" Grandma!" Yu Tong went with her team because she was hired by the ship owner to carry the luggage out of her ship to the town which was on the other side of the country. Thus, she had no idea that something like this happened in the village and so when she came back to the village and was told that her grandmother was attacked she was stunned in shock before rushing back to her house.
" Tong'er," Old Madam Yu smiled at Yu Tong whose eyes were red. " Are you back from work?"
Seeing Old Madam Yu lying on the bed, Yu Tong couldn't stop herself from crying as she wiped her tears and then said in a low voice, " If I knew that this was going to happen, I would have never left the village. I only left for a few days and something like this happened, you almost died and Brother Hua's face was disfigured."
Xiao Hua was drinking chicken soup when he heard Yu Tong call him disfigured. He turned to look at Yu Tong and snapped, "Who said that I am disfigured? I just got a small scar on my forehead, it will heal in no time! Isn't that right, Dong Dong?"
" You will always be the prettiest in my eyes, I mean you all…" Yu Dong corrected her words when she noticed four sets of gazes fall on her back as soon as she praised Xiao Hua.
" See that? Your sister doesn't mind," Xiao Hua continued to sip on his chicken soup and then continued, "And you need not to cry, we taught them a good lesson. So you can rest assured."
" But still, I did not know what happened here and when I wasn't here you all suffered like this. If I was around then I could have protected grandma," Yu Tong couldn't help but feel guilty over what took place at their home. If she had been here, she could have protected her grandmother and the people she cared about.
" You are thinking too much, though my injuries are severe, your sister and brothers-in-law have been looking after me very carefully," Grandma Yu waved her hand as she looked at her bandage which was covering her stomach to bring the ribs back in place. " Because they are taking good care of me, I am recovering really well."
It had only been three days after she was caught up in the mess but her wounds were healing really nicely and her body was recovering well. Grandma Yu did not know when her healing ability got this good but she was not going to complain about it.
What she did not know was that Yu Dong was using the spiritual water to cook and clean her body every day which allowed her injuries to heal from the inside as well as the outside.
Yu Tong simply felt that her grandmother was lying to her because did not want her to get worried and thus, took even better care of Old Madam Yu to make sure that Old Madam Yu would be able to get on her feet as soon as possible.
With Yu Tong taking care of Old Madam Yu, Yu Dong went back to work. Ever since the villagers found out how good Yu Dong's vegetables tasted, they all started to work even more honestly. Thus when Yu Dong stepped out of her house, many villagers including Tan Mo came to ask Yu Dong about Old Madam Yu's condition.
" Sister Dong, is Madam Yu all right? Those Peng family members are too much !"
" Thats right, they caused so much trouble without even realising that they were in the wrong."
Because the villagers wanted to get closer to Yu Dong, Peng Jing and her family became the source of their ire. No matter what and where they were, the villagers wouldn't miss a chance to degrade the Peng family.
" Don't worry, she is doing fine," Yu Dong smiled at the villagers and told them about Old Madam Yu's condition.
" Of course, she is going to get fine, Old Madam Yu is one of the kindest women I have met there is no way the heavens will punish her for something that she did not do," one of the women sang praises of Old Madam Yu trying to please Yu Dong.
" All right that's enough," Aunt Wang who was listening to the conversation silently couldn't help but interrupt. She was worried that if they allowed the villagers to continue speaking they would end up praising the Old Madam Yu to the heavens making her even more revered identity than the Empress. " Go back to work, you still have a lot of tasks unfinished."
" Yes, Yes we are leaving."
Of course, there were also people who seemed too upset about Yu Dong's actions of cancelling their contracts. They knew that Yu Dong did nothing wrong but when they saw how the other villagers were sucking up to Yu Dong and how their future was going to be limitless when they were following Yu Dong, they couldn't help but call Yu Dong cruel and a tyrant who was running the village as she pleased.
They only made a small mistake yet they were treated like they did some great sin!
However, Yu Dong did not bother herself with them, she lived her life like nothing was wrong. She asked the eighteen families who were in charge of strawberry plantations to start sowing the seeds of the strawberries in their fields and just as she told those eighteen families to sow the seeds, she turned to look at the families who were in charge of vegetables and said, " Madam Song had signed a contract with me this is something that you all know right? According to the contract, she needs a hundred catties of each vegetable which is why you all should also start preparing your fields."
