Chapter 99 - [Bonus ]come In Part 2
Lang who heard Yu Dong's overly generous words shook her head at once. She already owed Yu Dong a lot, how could she accept this? Though Yu Dong's kindness touched her heart, when she hurt her leg before, even her mother kicked her out of the house under the instigation of her stepsister and stepfather. Forger about eating something nourishing, even her life would have been lost if not for Yu Dong who bought those three goats from her husband. Thinking about this, she choked with emotion as she spoke " Mistress, I'm nothing but a useless slave now. There is no need for you to waste your money on me, I don't want to trouble your family."
Yu Dong smiled with her eyes at Lang as she thrust the money into Ye Liu's hand " oh come on, don't call me master just call me Dong Dong like everyone else. As for wasting money? Don't take me as someone so useless that I can't even feed you guys some good things" turning to Ye Liu she waved her hand and motioned him to bring the things. She hugged the giggling Little bun in her arms as she motioned Zhu Qian and Lang to come inside the house " Li, can you bring Ruru inside? She is sleeping in the carriage and show them to the guest room. "
Since Qiao Sha lent her, the Qiao family's carriage, she couldn't just ignore the driver. She asked Chen Mi to bring some of her home-brewed alcohol and handed two sloshing jars in the driver's hands. At first, the driver wanted to refuse but then she remembered how expensive was it to buy Yu Dong's alcohol at the Song family's restaurant. This made her resolution waver and she accepted the two jars of wine, after all, it was just a matter of accepting two jars, it's not like she was accepting bribery, right? And in all honesty who can even refuse the temptation of drinking the alcohol that Yu Dong brewed herself?
The driver went back happily, while Yu Dong and the family went inside their house. In the recent renovation of their house, they have built a few extra rooms to make it easier for them in the future. Yu Dong didn't think that one of these two rooms would come in handy so soon. To make it easier for Lang Ru, Shen Li lifted her up and laid her down on the Kang to sleep on.
When Lang Ru was placed on the soft bedding, she opened her sunken eyes faintly and looked around, with a quick look she could make out that right now she was lying in a rather spacious and bright room with comfortable bedding, completely different from the dingy crap of a room at the tavern! She was finally somewhere safe! In the future, she no longer have to worry about getting sick or to live on the edge of her father getting molested. She looked at the concerned expression of her parents and her new master cum family members and then closed her eyes again. A warm sigh escape her lips, finally, she was out of that hell! While she thought of this only four words came to her mind 'life was good!' .
" elder sister, you are back?" Yu Mai who was playing in the backyard with the recently hatched ducklings rushed back in when he heard his sister's voice. In the past few months, Yu Mai has gotten really close to Yu Dong who doted on him just as much as she doted on Little bun - or even more, as she only gave those sugary drinks to him but not Little bun.
Yu Dong's space had a lot of children snacks because she died while she was stocking up snacks for her brother. So, things like spicy potato chips, ramen noodles and chocolate milk were in huge abundance in her space - there was no shortage of these things.
As an adult, Yu Dong didn't want to eat those things and Shen Li and Chen Mi didn't want to eat these things even more. They have tried those things before and felt their tummy go more rounder than before, thus, for the sake of maintaining their figures to attract their wife, they resolutely refused to eat those snacks no matter how tantalizing they smelled! Only Ye Liu was willing to share those snacks with Yu Mai as his metabolism was better than the two and with his tall stature, he looked more slimmer and lean than the other two.
So, Yu Mai who was the only one who got to eat these good things believed that he was the one whom his sister liked the most! It didn't even occur to him that the only reason that Yu Dong wasn't giving those things to little bun was all because of her dearest baby boy being too small to eat them!
Yu Dong smiled and rubbed Yu Mai's fluffy head, one of the reasons why she decided to bring Zhu Qian and his family to her house was Yu Mai. The boy was young and fairly active but his mental illness made it impossible for him to adjust himself with his peers. And because he was often teased as a ' stupid boy' , ' slow poke' and ' idiot' , Yu Mai wasn't willing to go out of the house and play with the kids of the village.
Yu Dong was really worried about Yu Mai growing up alone without a single friend in his life, with Lang Ru here, who was just around his age with just a few years old, she doesn't have to worry about Yu Mai anymore, now her brother would at least have one friend" that's right, I'm back did you miss me?"
" mhmm, Mai is hungry" answered Yu Mai earnestly.
Yu Dong heard his answer and laughed, really this boy! He was really too good! She asked him whether or not he missed her and he responded with a ' yeah, I missed you but I missed your cooking more'.
She pinched his cheek and teased " you greedy glutton! You only miss your sister when you are hungry, mm?"
Maybe Yu Mai subconsciously realised that the question was a trap instead of answering Yu Dong, he turned to look at Lang Ru who was sick and her pallor was so bad that one could see the blue bags under her eyes! Yu Mai poked her sunken cheek feeling quite upset, this young girl she was just as weak as him! How poor! " sister who is she?"
