Yu Dong nodded and then approached the table where everyone was surrounding the big bowls which had fish meatballs and pork meatballs sitting inside them separately. She looked at the moistened lips of the young ones and kindly said, " What are you waiting for? Say your prayers to God and then start eating." Since Yu Dong was raising a bunch of bear cubs she wanted to make sure that they all will grow up with decent manners. Thus, she tried to instil as many good habits in them as possible. …-

" Yu Mai! What are you doing?" Yu Dong almost dropped the steamer in her hands if not for Chen Mi reaching out and holding it tight. She handed the streamer to her husband and then went to pull Yu Mai away from Lang Ru who was smiling and laughing. " How many times I have told you after the age of seven, mer and girls should keep their distance!" " Oh, I am sorry sister.."

Yu Dong did not wish to ruin the new year because of someone like Old Master Tong. She took out the sticky rice which she had soaked in a bowl before taking out ribs and pork belly that she had kept inside the spiritual water for an entire day. Even though the pork, fish and shrimp had been left out in the water vat for all day long, they did not look stale at all. There were no blood clots sticking to the large pieces of ribs and pork belly, instead, they were glistening with a shine which only made…

Old Master Tong knew that he couldn't make a fuss anymore which was why he agreed with Yu Dong. As the saying goes, the monk can run but the temple can't!

" But for now, why don't you go back? I am not saying this because this matter is shameful but just take a look around you—— if this matter is known to others would they not make fun of our village? Why don't we do this? You leave with Second Aunt Yu and then we will talk about this matter tomorrow all right? I think we shouldn't disrupt the new year for everyone. I mean its too embarrassing for us to make a fuss about such a thing, even if you don't care about your face, you should at least care about…

Old Master Tong glared at Yu Tong with his beady eyes when he saw that Yu Tong was saving and protecting old Madam Yu as if he was a hooligan who was chasing after a beauty, with his arched brow slanted, he looked at Old Madam Yu and then said stiffly, " Do you really have to be so heartless? I admit that I was in the wrong but now that you have bedded me once again, are you going to abandon me once again like those mer prostitutes that people hire for a night? Where will I put my face like this? And it is…

" Aunt Dong, the madam wants to buy some eggplants," Xian Lei restrained her emotions which were on the verge of spilling and turned around to look for Yu Dong. " I will pack them up for her," Yu Dong nodded as she turned to pack the leftover eggplants, though she had a feeling that something was really off about that woman. …

He could not control his excitement as he looked at Yu Dong and asked, " Wife! Did I count correctly? How can we make so much money in a day? Did we really sell vegetables for more than two thousand taels and that too in just a day ?! Then what kind of profits we will make in a month? This sum of money is something that commoners like us can't even think of earning!" Even Ye Liu was looking at the silver taels with a fervent look in his eyes, it was as if the box which Chen Mi was holding was not…
