Chapter 769: DieIf she could she would have helped the vigers of the Big Stone vige but now that she knew that those people actually ate human flesh, she had no sympathy for them, even if they were to die, she was not going to help them at all!
" We understand, if it''s not important, we will make sure that none of us goes out of the house," Shen Li was a bit annoyed because of the flood they were locked up in the tree house for almost a month and now because of the vigers of the Big stone vige, they will have to stay locked in the house.
Ye Liu was not happy about this either, seeing that the two mers were not happy, Yu Dong smiled and then patted them on the head before saying, "It''s fine, I will try to make sure that this matter will be solved as quickly as possible."
The fastest way to solve the matter was toin to the authorities but if she was to do that then Yu Dong was certain that the vigers of the Big Stone will definitely target her and there was also the matter of many of the mers of her own vige who married into the Big stone vige as well if she was toin to the authorities then there was a chance that the mers who were married off from the Big river vige to the Big Stone vige will get divorced or abandoned by their wives, if that happened then she will be the viin of the entire vige again.
Yu Dong did not want that to happen, now that this ce belonged to her, she had to make sure that the vigers stood next to her.
Her head throbbed in annoyance and frustration but she still chose to talk it out with the vige women first beforeing to a decision lest they all said that she was running amok like a tyrant forcing them to make decisions that they did not want to.
Shen Li and Ye Liu nodded, they had full trust in Yu Dong and knew that their wife will definitely make sure that nothing goes wrong with the vigers and the vige which was why they did not make things difficult for her by asking what she was nning to do for the time being instead they went to the kitchen and busied themselves.
Yu Dong, on the other hand, left the house, first, she went to the house where the mers lived and told them about what was going on in the Big Stone vige, once she was done telling them, she asked them all to stay inside and not leave their house especially not in the night no matter what.
Xiao Hua and the other mers were scared but they still promised that they will not leave the house only then did Yu Dong walk out of the house and headed towards the old banyan tree where the vige meetings were held. Vige head Gu had already told them about the Big Stone vige and just as Yu Dong expected the vige women were filled with panic alongside their mers were just as scared, which was why after finding out about this shocking news they rang the bell announcing that they wanted to hold an emergency meeting.
As soon as Yu Dong arrived at the banyan tree, the vigers who were waiting for her immediately started to buzz like angry bees.
" What are we going to do now, Miss Yu?"
" The ones in the Big Stone vige are sure heartless how can they do something so cruel, what are we supposed to do?"
" My husband is pregnant, if something happens to him what will happen to our family?"
" I have three young ones, I cannot understand what I am supposed to do?"
Yu Dong watched the women who were speaking one after another and then sighed before raising her voice and speaking loudly, " You all need to calm down!"
"That''s right, what are you mouring for like this?" Vige head Gu chimed in as she too raised her voice to calm the vigers down.
Upon hearing the voices of the two authoritative figures of the vige, the vigers all turned silent and then did not dare to utter a peep.
Seeing that they all have calmed down Yu Dong heaved a sigh of relief and then opened her mouth before she started speaking, " I have already told Vige head Gu about my ns, I am sure she must have told you all about it. I know that what is happening around us is terrifying and you all must be scared but there are only two ways to solve this matter, first, we make sure that we protect ourselves and do not bother with other viges at all. If we help the other viges, I am sure they willpletely rely on us and given the hike in grain price which will continue for the next three to four months, we cannot allow that to happen at all!"
" The next thing that we can do is toin to the authorities, if we file aint then the authorities will look into this matter and those who are responsible for creating such chaos will be punished as well. Now you all tell me what do you want to do?"
Yu Dong was not going to spoon-feed them, she will simply give them options and let them choose from one of these options. She wanted to make sure that these vigers of her will grow along with her only then will she be able to develop this vige, if they stay as they are, Yu Dong was worried that she will not be able to uplift this vige at all!
When the vigers heard that they only had two options they all turned to look at each other, the younger ones wanted to file aint but their voices were shut down by the elder ones who have sent their sons to the daughters of the big stone vige, even if they did not care about mer sons, they could not silently stand aside and watch their sons getting divorced right? At this moment the ones who sent their sons to the Big Stone vige were full of regret, they all knew that the big stone vige was not full of kind people and yet they sent their sons to that vige.
Watching the elder generation groan and regret their decisions, the younger ones decided that they were going to pay attention to the people around them and only chose a good house for their sons to get married to after much consideration!
Seeing that the vigers have alle to a unanimous decision, Yu Dong did not say anything further. She simply looked at the crowd and then said, " I will not ask for you all to do anything other than guarding the vige as for the rest of the things I have already told you about it, do not make a mistake and make me regret that I have chosen the wrong people to support!"
After she was done speaking, Yu Dong turned to leave and the vigers did not stop her either. There was nothing else they could say to her at the moment on the other hand the vigers who sent their sons to the big stone vige returned to their homes with heavy hearts.
One of these vigers was Madam Hu who heaved a sigh of frustration and then walked back home as soon as she walked inside the house, her husband who was waiting for her return immediately jumped up from the cot on which he was sitting and then rushed to his wife''s side before asking, " Did you ask Miss Yu? Did she agree to send grains to the stone vige?"
Old Man Hu was really worried about his son if not for the fact that he did not know that something like this was going to happen, he would have never allowed his son to marry into the Big Stone vige and now that such a piece of terrible news hade out, he was sure that the life of his son might not be as easy as he thought it was at the moment!
" What nonsense are you saying?" Old Madam Hu reprimanded her husband, she was worried about her son as well but there was nothing that she could do for him at the moment. What was more the big stone vige was involved in something so terrifying, even though she did not even go there and only thought of visiting her son, her legs were trembling so badly! How can she even allow anyone to go to that vige much less deliver grains?
She red at her husband and then said to him in an annoyed voice, "Stop making a fuss and stay at home quietly, do you even know what is the price of grain outside, we will die if we hand out our grain to our son!"
