When the three mers heard Yu Dong mention '' The Big Stone Vige,'' they were suddenly rmed. Wasn''t this vige the one whose people tried to eat their children?


    " Wife, what are you talking about? How can you even help those people?" Chen Mi questioned as he looked at Yu Dong with a frown, he ced the basket in which he brought the fish from the river and then said to Yu Dong, " Those people tried to eat our children. How can we help them?"


    Ye Liu nodded and agreed with Chen Mi. He helped Yu Mai from his arms and then put him on the ground before turning to look at Yu Dong as he said, " Those people almost killed us and the vigers. If they heard that you are thinking of buying their vige, they might be really upset. They might even revolt."


    The grudge between the two viges was too strong. If they reached out to help the Big Stone Vige, it would be simr to applying ointment to a scorpion only for the helping hand to be stung with poison.


    When Yu Dong heard the concerns of her two husbands, she shook her head and then said, " The reason I asked Ke Jin to take a look at that vige is that I heard from some of the vigers that the people of the Big Stone Vige have long moved away and only those who have nowhere to go are left behind." She paused and added, " In fact, I think the second the vigers find out that they can now order the vigers of the Big Stone vige, they might be very much willing to take that vige into ours."


    Yu Dong knew the vigers very well. Though they did hold a grudge against the Big Stone Vige, they were also arrogant and upset with the actions of the Big Stone Vige. Last time they were not able to deal with the Big Stone Vige but if the Big Stone Vige was bought by Yu Dong then they would surely have a way to deal with those who tried to harm them.


    There was a reason why Yu Dong chose the Big Stone Vige, that vige already had a criminal record thus they would take every step carefully. If she had to make a choice then she would rather choose a vige whose vigers would be so careful that they would walk on eggshells around her and the vigers.


    " Anyway, I am the one who is going to buy that vige. It will have nothing to do with the Big River Vige," Yu Dong waved her hand. She then turned to look at Gu Ke Jin and said, " Make sure to take a look at that vige. If they are willing to sell theirnds and be ves then tell them that they will get to keep theirnds.


    I will be in charge of handing them work and sry every month. Not only will three members of one family will get a job but their sry will be one tael and five hundred cents. That is to say, each person will receive five hundred copper coins. If they are willing then tell the current head toe and meet me."


    Gu Ke Jin thought about it and nodded. " Then I will take a look."


    The three mers looked at one another before turning to look at Yu Dong. As they looked at Yu Dong, they could not help but be amazed. It had been only a year since Yu Dong came into their lives but she had changed their livespletely.


    There was a time when they were living in a house which had a roof that leaked in the rain but now they were rich enough to buy a vige!


    Gu Ke Jin was about to take her leave but Yu Dong stopped her and then threw her arm around Gu Ke Jin''s shoulder before saying, " Where are you going? Let''s go and drink. We are going to be proud owners of the first mall in the Big River Town. Let''s celebrate."


    And before Gu Ke Jin could refuse, she was dragged inside the house by Yu Dong who was rather happy with everything going ording to her will.

    CRASH!


    " Are you saying that the mercenaries that I sent to that vige failed?" Xia Xieren yelled at her trusted aide who was kneeling in front of her, the trusted aide was trembling with fear as she looked at the ground.


    The trusted aide trembled and then replied, "It''s not that the n failed. The vige was indeed set on fire but the vigers were able to calm down the fire as for the mercenaries, I can''t reach them."


    She had sent a lot of letters to the mercenaries who were hired to kill the vigers of the Big River Vige but they never replied to her.


    When Xie Xieren heard that the mercenaries were not replying, she clenched the teacup in her hands and then threw it at the trusted aide who did not dare to dodge it. The warm tea spilt on her head before the cup hit her on the forehead. Warm blood spilt out of her broken skin as she kowtowed in front of Xie Xieren and then said, " Forgive this one, Your Majesty. This servant made a mistake.


    I will look for decent mercenaries this time around."


    " Whats the point? They will be on guard now !" When Xie Xieren thought about how Li Wan might be silently helping her half-sister regain her military power, she could not help but grit her teeth. That woman!


    She was her bane and the one who was an even bigger bane was that unknown woman who handed the oil mill to Li Wan, letting her control not only the oil flow of that town but also the capital as the officials could not restrain themselves from eating the meals cooked in that oil!


    Just the thought of all that money falling into the pockets of Xie Zhenya left tremors down Xie Xieren''s spine.
