Chapter 394 Such a tragedy.
Then he turned to look at Grandma Yu and asked, " Are you going to ask Yu Dong or not? If our Cheng Cheng becomes a scholar, maybe a princess will take fancy to him and then we can say goodbye to this stinking village and live a fortunate life in the capital! Why can\'t you think things through? Don\'t you want Cheng Cheng to become a big scholar?"So what if she was given the leftovers to eat? If she wanted she could always head to her granddaughter\'s place and the latter will cook a warm meal for her. At least her Dong Dong cared about her without any selfish motive and that was enough to make her heart rest at ease.
Old man Yu watched his wife walk away without agreeing to his demands and threw his chopsticks on the floor harshly, if that woman wasn\'t even going to be of this much help… then why was she even alive? He married her because he wanted to have an easy life not because he wanted to suffer so much because of her hard-headedness! If she was going to be this useless then she might as well die! Because then without her interruptions, he will be able to bother Yu Dong as much as he wanted!

Yu Dong didn\'t know that the news of her sending her husbands to the capital was spread throughout the village, instead, she headed to the town after leaving one of her helpers behind at her house to take care of her Fang Chi.
Now that her husbands have left for the capital, she too has to buy a shop in the town to start selling her strawberries. It was a good thing that she came prepared to walk around the town because as soon as she took a step into the market, she felt her feet getting stomped by others. Sigh, this was why she had to park her carriage at the shop that rent out carriages and would allow people to park their carriage in the shop\'s space as long as they paid enough to rent a spot of their land, if not she would have been too worried about her carriage being taken away.
This time she wasn\'t stupid enough to believe that she will be able to find a shop on the most busiest street of the town without any help from someone influential. Though it hurt her pride, Yu Dong was not someone who didn\'t know when to bow her spine, the situation was difficult already, her crops have ripened and she needed to harvest them, if she were to leave her crops as it is, even if they do not rot because of the spiritual water, it will gather suspicion from everyone. So, it was better to look for a shop as soon as she can… in fact, she would have found it long ago if not for her taking care of her husbands for so long.
But Yu Dong didn\'t regret it, after all, her husbands were her first priority and everything else came after them.
With her mind set, she headed straight to Song Yixu\'s restaurant thinking that she will ask Lady Song to help her out but then her path was intercepted by Jiang Fenhua who was coming out of the Song family\'s restaurant with one of his aides. " Oh, isn\'t this Miss Dong, the owner of the famous bar in the town, I was just going to head there since the restaurant is too full today."
"Ah, were you?" said Yu Dong instinctively but then she remembered the identity of the person in front of her. Jiang Fenhua was Qiao Sha\'s Concubine even though his relationship with his wife wasn\'t good, he was still a young master and she was just a commoner, so she hurriedly bowed and greeted Jiang Fenhua. " I mean good day to you, Master Jiang."
She expected Jiang Fenhua to berate her given she had made trouble with his sister but instead he lightly laughed and raised his hand. " You may rise, there is no reason for you to be this formal with me," he said with a small smile playing on his lips. " but of course, if you still insist on apologising then you can give me a discount coupon for your bar, I am ashamed to say this but your strawberry shortcake has won my heart."
Yu Dong was surprised to see Jiang Fenhua carelessly brushing away her mistake and not using it as an opportunity to teach her a lesson for the sake of avenging his sister and took out a coupon from her sleeves in a daze when she noticed the sincerity in his eyes. " Here you go, Master Jiang … it\'s my special discount coupon that only my and my husbands have you can use it to eat anything the next three meals without paying."
Jiang Fenhua\'s brows raised as he took the coupon with a melancholic smile on his face, " A pick me up, this is exactly what I wanted." Then he turned to his aide and handed the coupon to him before looking at Yu Dong. " You sure do not have your guards up, Miss Dong. Don\'t you suspect me that I am lying to you and might use this opportunity for my gain?"
Yu Dong pursed her lips and thought about it for a while before replying. " I mean you can but I know you won\'t, you don\'t look like a bad person to me." With that, she bowed her head and headed inside the restaurant leaving a dazed Jiang Fenhua behind who turned his head to look at his aide with a sad smile and said, "Look at that Xiao Shi, even the world knows that I am not a bad person but only that one person doesn\'t believe me. Such a tragedy don\'t you think so?"
