  Yu dong didn't say anything and Yu Liu didn't know what to say either he took the chicken soup and went back inside Chen Mi's room while Yu Dong went to her backyard and checked the soil condition of her vegetable patch just like everything in the Yu household this patch was in poor condition as well.

  The mers might have tried to take care of it but they had no idea how to take care of a farming patch they have been used to enbroidering ,cooking and helping in the field but taking care of an inferior land from the scratch was something they didn't know at all there was no fertilisers added to the field and it was cracking even when it was brimming with water the mers have obviously tried to save it by adding extra water since they couldn't really afford fertilisers but an inferior piece of land needed a lot of fertilisers to become suitable for farming with just water there was no chance to save it .

  Yu dong sighed and crouched down, she placed her palm against the soil patch and frowned , the previous Yu Dong was raised like a spoiled princess by her mother and father as she was their only daughter and maybe because she was the eldest granddaughter her grandparents loved her to core as well but that changed when her auntie 's mer gave birth to a son .

  She shook her head , it didn't matter to her what history the previous Yu Dong had , what mattered to her was how she took the challenges in her life , yes she lost her parents , yes she was kicked out of the Yu family together with her mers but that didn't justified her alcoholism and lack of awareness towards her responsibilities .

  Yu Dong pressed her palms against the soil and let her spiritual energy heal the damage done to the vegetable patch for so many years . She had no confidence in any other job except being a little farmer girl , she knew nothing about cooking and her dishes were close to mediocre not worth opening a restaurant , her best dishes were roasting a whole lamb and dishes that had sea food in it , where the hell she was going to get sea food in this village ? And even if she did where will she get the money to start a restaurant ?

  She was no good in embroidery , had no idea about fashion as she was a tom boyish type of woman in her past life with hair shortened to her shoulder and no makeup sense . Her ready to go look comprised of sun screen and lip balm .

  But farming , she was confident at with her spiritual energy she was certain that no matter what the plant was she will be able to grow it and no matter how inferior the land was she could turn it fertile .

  Yu Dong continued channelling her energy in the ground , so that it shimmered with greenish hue and once she was certain that the soil was good enough she picked herself up and cleaned her hands wiping away the dirt .

  She was just thinking about plowing the land when a loud bang resonated from the kitchen and Ye Liu 's shouting could be heard , Yu Dong was stunned she couldn't understand what made Ye Liu shout like that but maybe the baby was coming - The BABY WAS COMING , Yu Dong who had no idea about baby or labour rushed in but she was bound to be disappointed because there was no baby in incoming .

  Ye Liu glared at the woman in front of him , while he was in the labour room he heard someone knock , he thought that someone came to buy pig tripe or blood and opened the door but the second he opened it , a woman brushed past him and started searching the utensils without asking his permission - Ye Liu hasn't seen this woman for at least six months and yet she was as shameless as ever actually rushing in to snatch the meat from their house after renouncing their family? Shameless!

  " What do you think you are doing ? We are no longer family ! How dare you barge in here and snatch things from us ?" Demanded Ye Liu furiously , he was afraid that if the meat was stolen by this woman today , Yu Dong might never bring any hunt back home , she might even get angry at them - and there was also Chen Mi he needed all the nutrition he could get after giving birth how dare this shameless woman who threw them out try to take it away .

  Yu Tong who was stopped by a mer immediately turned angry , she stopped her search and glared at Ye Liu " How dare a little mer like you dared to talk like this with his cousin in law ? Just six months and have you forgotten already that I'm your cousin in law ? So what if I want to take the meat ? Its my cousin who hunted it not you !" That's right this was Yu Tong , Yu Dong 's cousin sister . Just like Yu Dong she was pampered since birth , and she never placed mers in her eyes , so when she was stopped by Ye Liu she couldn't withstand it and lashed out - however even after lashing out her temper didn't ease so she picked up a cutlery bowl and threw at Ye Liu , thankfully , Ye Liu had fast reflexes and dodged .

  But that only made Yu Tong even more angry , she puffed up her chest and picked up another bowl to throw at Ye Liu " You shameless hussy , you actually dared to dodge ? Have you forgotten that as mer you need to bow your head down to your wife and in laws ? How dare you talk back , how dare you act such towards me , let me teach you a good lesson !" With that she raised her hand to throw the bowl again at Ye Liu who closed his eyes and gritted his teeth , he knew this time he won't be able to protect himself .
