Chapter 1309: For what reason?
"You…" Chen Mi pinched Yu Dong on her waist as he pushed her away. A sharp glare was aimed at Yu Dong before he raised his hand and pinched her cheek. "What are you doing? Our son is in the room and you are…you are kissing me." His voice softened as he blamed Yu Dong for acting out.
"Ahaha, are you shy?" Yu Dong teased Chen Mi who only pinched her even harder before letting go of her cheek. He slapped her lightly on the forearm before questioning, "Why did you agree to their requests? They will only get greedy if you give them what they want."
Yu Dong hummed. She picked up the Rubik's cube that she had taken out from her space and handed it to Yu Jin who played with it. He twisted it left and right without any sense in his little head. Of course, Yu Dong knew that this toy was too mature for a child who was the same age as Yu Jin but her son was much more mature.
Yu Jin grew up eating and drinking spiritual water and food laced with spiritual energy thus he got bored of toys and dolls very quickly.
Now only this Rubik's cube could hold his interest.
"I know what will happen if I give in to their demands but you know what will they do if I refuse to agree to requests?" Yu Dong questioned as she smiled at Yu Jin who showed her the mismatched cube. She took it from him as she twisted the cubes around before matching every colour and handing it back to Yu Jin who oohed and ahh'ed before turning it around again.
Chen Mi frowned upon hearing her question. He did not believe that anything would happen if Yu Dong was to refuse. After all, it was the Murong family who wanted to keep this engagement more than them.
"They will throw Murong Si to the forest and leave him to die," Ye Liu who arrived at the house and learned of everything about what happened at the house when he was gone from Fang Chi, answered from the threshold. Behind him was Ye Yexian and Zi Mu who returned from the orchards.
Yu Dong looked at Ye Liu and the rest of the Zi family before turning to look at Ying Nan. She said to him, "Brother Nan can you tell Mammy Lin to bring a few cups of water?"
"I will bring them, there is no need for you to disturb Mammy Lin for something so small," Ying Nan placed the book in his hand and then walked inside the kitchen, he had been living in the Yu family for a long time and was feeling a bit restless as he did not have to anything at the Yu house.
Now that he was given an opportunity to do something, Ying Nan took the chance to move his feet and hands. Because if this went on, he would end up getting fatter and fatter by just eating and drinking every day.
Yu Dong shook her head as she watched Ying Nan rush inside the kitchen, she then turned to look at Ye Liu and asked, "Is everything going well with the orchard?"
"Everything is fine, in fact, a few of the villagers are asking us about the manure that we mix with the soil. The fruit trees are growing way too well and quickly that it has attracted the attention of the villagers," Ye Liu glared at Yu Dong who looked away instantly. What could she do?
They needed the orchards to flourish as quickly as possible, this was the reason why she had grown the seeds in her space and used the spiritual water to make sure that the seeds would turn into half-grown trees before sowing them in the land.
Who would have thought that the villagers would still end up catching something amiss?
She closed her eyes and tried to appease Ye Liu, "Just tell them that it is a business secret. Anyway, we need to grow the fruit trees as quickly as possible if we want to continue with our business of cakes and ice candies."
The fruits were important ingredients for the ice candies and the cakes that Zi Zan was learning to bake. If they wanted to open the business bakery and ice candies as soon as possible, then they needed the trees to mature just as quickly.
Anyway, Yu Dong had already started building greenhouses around the orchards, so she was not worried about villagers seeing what was going on inside.
More importantly, they were being paid for renting their lands, if she were to increase the rent they would keep their mouths shut as well.
"We are so sorry," Ye Yexian and Zi Mu lowered their heads as they knew that Yu Dong was in trouble because of them.
"There is no need to apologize, what happened has already happened. There is no point in brooding over it," Yu Dong waved her hand but at the same time, she was glad that the trees were doing well. "It seems like Brother Mu really knows his stuff, not a single sapling turned rotten and we were able to sow everything perfectly. Even though some of the saplings were on the verge of dying."
Yu Dong was talking about the cocoa and mango saplings that they dug out from the small space under the cliff. Your next chapter is on empire
"That's right. My husband is the best when it comes to growing fruit saplings. He knows every trick and tactic, in the entire Zi village, my husband was the only one who could revive the mulberry plant at the village head's house!" Ye Yexian was really happy when he heard Yu Dong's praise and immediately started to sing about his husband's skills.
Zi Mu's cheeks turned red as he pulled his husband back. He shook his head and then said, "This is nothing. I am just doing what I should be doing."
"Umm…"
