Chapter 1073: Second Sister and her rebellious attitude
" Whats the matter with you?" Yu Dong turned to look at Chen Mi, her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she glanced between Mother Chen and Chen Mi who was breathing fire. " Did something happen?"
" My second sister refused to come to our village," when Chen Mi thought about how he had helped his second sister along with his brother-in-law even though he did not get along with his second brother-in-law, only to be called reckless, he felt his heart stuffed with cotton. He took in a sharp breath and then retold Yu Dong everything that took place in the Chen Village.
Turns out that after Chen Mi sent the letter to Mother Chen to sell everything and come to the Big River Village, his second brother-in-law refused. Apparently, Chen Mi's second brother-in-law thought that they were playing around and Mother Chen was a fool to listen to them.
Even though the weather was slightly hot, it was not to the point that they had to sell their lands and house. He absolutely refused to move and he even convinced Second Sister Chen by saying that they were born and raised in Chen village how could they leave their roots? When the matter escalated, he even pulled his children and cried in front of Mother Chen begging her to give him a way out.
" He is really too much, the new house and farmlands were bought after you taught Mother how to make Kang, yet he made it look like it was Second Sister and him who worked hard to earn everything!" Chen Mi was quite unhappy with his Second Sister, even his second brother-in-law did not trust him, his sister should have trusted him!
" It's all right, it doesn't matter if Xiao Chen does not believe us," Mother Chen spoke after a long pause. She turned to look at Yu Dong and smiled honestly before saying, " Don't worry, Dong Dong. I did not hand the process of making Kang to my second sister. I only handed her what she deserved."
When her second daughter made a fuss along with her husband, Mother Chen did not force her nor did she call her Xiao Chen and her husband unfilial. She simply separated the family and handed Xiao Chen her share as for the process of making Kang, this was something that Yu Dong taught her, what did it have to do with her second daughter?
She thus refused to hand the process to her second daughter and ignored the cries of her second son-in-law. No matter how much the latter cried, she pretended to not hear it, in the end, her second son-in-law called her biased which made Da Chen angry. The two sisters fought and ended up getting on a note where they might never reconcile.
Mother Chen never stopped them from start to finish as she had treated the two sisters equally. If she did not teach the method to Xiao Chen then she did not treat the method to Da Chen either, it was just that her second son-in-law poisoned her youngest daughter by whispering in her ear that she deliberately ignored her and paid attention to Da Chen.
" You did not have to take so much trouble," Yu Dong frowned when she heard of the incident, she did not know what to say to Mother Chen or Chen Mi. Even if Mother Chen had handed the process of building Kang to Xiao Chen, she would not have said anything. After all, when she handed the process to Mother Chen, she had completely forgotten about it.
It was up to Mother Chen what she wanted to do with it.
Of course, Mother Chen knew what Yu Dong was thinking but she simply smiled and did not say anything. Even if Yu Dong did not mind, she minded it a lot.
Yu Dong handed the method to her because she trusted her, she could not betray Yu Dong's trust by turning around and backstabbing her and with the attitude of Ji Zeyu, her second son-in-law, that mer would have caused trouble for Yu Dong and her sooner or later.
Yu Dong did not say anything to Mother Chen, she simply nodded and turned to look at Da Chen who smiled foolishly at Yu Dong. Because she fought with her younger sister, there was a purplish mark on her cheek and from the looks of it her husband was finding it quite distressing given how concerned he looked.
" Sister Ying, are you all right?" Yu Dong greeted Chen Ying who nodded and replied, " This is nothing. It's just that your brother-in-law who worries a lot."
" Who am I worrying for?" Lu Nanyun glared at his wife. " If your sister was any more cruel, she would have taken your eye and made you blind! It's a good thing that you dodged or else what would have happened to me and our kids!"
Lu Nanyun's eyes turned red as he thought about how his wife almost went blind because of her sister's ruthlessness.
" All right, all right. I am sorry," seeing that her husband was crying, Chen Ying patiently coaxed him. " I will take better care of myself, all right? Stop crying now, we are no longer at home. What will others think?"
" It's all right, sister Ying," Chen Mi was really angry at his second sister but when he saw his eldest brother-in-law crying he could only soften his voice. "Brother-in-law but have been scared after everything that happened. You don't need to worry about us."
" No, I apologize. I completely forgot myself for a moment," Lu Nanyun sniffed. He could not believe how the two sisters who acted filial and gentle with their mother and always played around turned into their bitter enemies. Sure enough, his father was right, a single mer who was not virtuous could destroy an entire family.
Yu Dong could see that the Chen family was in a low mood, so she changed the topic of conversation. Her gaze fell on the three mers and a daughter sitting next to Lu Nanyun and turned to look at Ye Liu before saying, " Liu go and boil some goat milk for the kids and Li."
