BXBX NOVEL Chapter 471: Small charity
The villagers weren\'t as cold-hearted as the Sun family so they were willing to give Ah Cy\'s husband a little food in exchange for work. But —— Ah Cy and her family were even greedy for that bit of meat, they started to bully Ah Cy\'s husband and asked him to bring the meat and vegetables straight home without eating anything.
In fact even before the small mer went into labour many villagers already knew that he was going to die.
With that small and weak body, it was impossible for him to push a child out.
The mer died while he was being cursed by his father-in-law asking him to push harder despite not even feeding him anything for a week and the child died because of suffocation.
If only the Sun family have fed that mer a little then he wouldn\'t have died.
This was something that was known throughout the entire village, they were even making bets on whether the current husbands who were pregnant at the same time will be able to make out of their situation alive or not.
And till now no one in the village has bet on —- alive yet.
So, when Yu Dong taunted Ah Cy like that how can the latter not understand what Yu Dong was insinuating? Their family didn\'t feed their mers but they asked them to work from day to night, so of course, it was clear that Yu Dong was calling her worse than an animal what was more—— everyone around her was already laughing at her as if Yu Dong said something funny.
" You! How dare you——"
" How dare I, what?" Before Ah Cy could say anything Yu Dong calmly replied, she stared at the former\'s face and coolly raised a brow. " I simply said out aloud what I believe, it\'s not like I took anyone\'s name or called them animal, if someone takes my words personally then I can\'t say anything, after all, they know it better than anyone what they are doing."
After she was done speaking, she walked past the crowd as she bade the others goodbye politely and when she walked past the group, she saw a small mer, he hardly reached to her chest and was so weak that he was nothing but skin and bones.
The mer as if sensing her gaze looked up meeting her eyes before squeaking and looking around as if he couldn\'t believe that he dared to see her.
" What are you looking at huh, Jie?" Ah Cy saw that her brother was staring at Yu Dong with a slightly infatuated look —— he wasn\'t, he was just surprised, this was something that Ah Cy knew as well but she also knew compared to Yu Dong her cousin\'s brother was easier to bully, so she strode towards him and raised her hand before brutally smacking him across his cheek. " You think that with your ugly face she will even look at you? She has the most beautiful mer in the town living in her house, who is going to look at you huh?"
The mer called Sun Jie immediately bowed his head and started to water the fields without daring to look up at Yu Dong again. Ah Cy too felt a bit better after letting out a bit of steam and turned to look at her friends as she started chattering again.
Yu Dong looked at the little mer who looked frail enough to fall over with one strong breeze and then looked at Ah Cy who was as plump as a freshly baked meat bun. She, of course, remembered the mer, he was one of those few customers who came to buy some pork from her but was only able to get a few bones and some intestines.
Seeing his pitiful condition and the gaze that was locked on the bucket that was full of meat, Yu Dong\'s heart soften a little. She looked at the group of women who were chattering and yammering away at a distance before she took out her handkerchief that was soiled with blood and wrapped a big, juicy piece of boar meat and wrapped it in.
She looked around left and right, only when she was sure that no one was around, did she raise her arm and threw the boar meat in the direction of the mer standing in the middle of the field.
When a handkerchief soiled with blood rolled to his feet, the mer was surprised enough to jump up but when he noticed the meat poking out of it, he was stunned and furtively looked at Yu Dong who mouthed back at him —— \' Eat it alone.\'
Before turning around and walking away, Sun Jie looked at her back before he crouched down and hid the lump of meat in the pile of weeds that he was going to throw away.
His heart felt heavier than ever, if possible he would have never accepted Yu Dong\'s sympathy like this but he was hungry and the last time he ate anything solid was a week back when the harvest money was earned back by his mother. He was afraid that if he didn\'t accept this charity then he might as well die in a few days.
Yu Dong didn\'t know anything about what was going on in the head of Sun Jie, at the moment she had already forgotten about the small help she had just given instead at the moment she was headed to the village head Gu\'s house.
Even if she didn\'t want to let the others know about the disaster, she might as well mention it casually lest someone come knocking on her door asking for trouble.
