古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 808: A good boy

What Hu Pan and Hu Bing thought was indeed what old Madam Hu was thinking it was not that she was being heartless to them but there were really a bunch of troubles waiting for her and her family if she was to accept Hu Pan and Hu Bing, what was more, she had heard from Village head Gu who asked her to fork out the last bit of savings which she had while telling her,          

Things were going to become more and more worse from now on if she was to take care of two additional families and that too on her own responsibility, Old Madam Hu feared that she will be kicked out of the village before Hu Pan and Hu Bing\'s wife were accepted by the villagers!      

" What are you thinking about so hard?" Elder Master Hu was the official husband of Old Madam Hu and the father of Hu Pan when he saw that his wife was still thinking about whether or not to take their sons back, he could not help but flare up in anger, his heart acted every time he looked at his son who was once pretty as a flower but now that flower had withered and became an old thorny bush.      

Everyone said that Hu Pan had become more and more sharp-tongued after getting married but wasn\'t it because his mother did not look like a proper match for him? They were poor but Xiao Yu was even poorer than their family, what was more she had a difficult father, when Hu Pan married over that old bastard asking his mer son to do this and that, he would wake Hu Pan up before the sun rose and then he push his son around as much as he could.      

From having his limbs massaged, to ordering Hu Pan to cook this and that and even sending him to catch fish in the harsh and cold winds of winter, that old bastard did everything that he could to torment his poor son, for a  very long time, his son suffered silently but then his father in law pushed his mer son who was with a child causing Hu Pan to lose his first child.      

It was only then, did Hu Pan developed a selfish and eccentric personality and started to fight against anyone who tried to make him bow down. Though his mer son\'s personality was a bit upsetting he was a good boy! That day when he came to ask for grain, he did not take everything despite him giving every single bit of grain which he had in his house, when he forced Hu Pan, he left a sack of coarse rice behind and ran away.      

If his mer son was this bad, why would he even care about his old parents who pushed him to this fire pit? Back then he told his wife that Xiao Yu was not a good match for their mer son but the latter told him that Xiao Yu was a good woman and her temper was nice as well, she will never do anything that will harm Hu Pan.      

But look did she not harm his mer son? Hu Pan lost his child and grew selfish and hot-tempered, only then did Xiao Yu start to fight back for her husband, in fact, she would have never grown spine if not for him taking a chopping knife and rushing to the Xiao house where he threatened that old bastard he will chop him to death if he dared to touch his mer son again at the same time threatening Xiao Yu that he will have his son divorce her if she did not grow a spine in her back.      

Only then did Xiao Yu stop acting stupidly filial and sent her father to her eldest sister who was used to leeching off from her family?      

Od Master Hu not only wished to see Xiao Yu marry into his house but he also wanted to torment her real good! How dare she stay quiet when his mer son was getting scolded and beaten?      

With that he raised his hand and slapped Old Madam Hu on the arm as he exclaimed, " Take them in, if they dare to make things difficult for us then we will simply have them divorce our mer sons and leave! If they marry into our house, we will have more control over them than them having control over us!"      

Tan Mo and Xiao Yu shivered when they heard their father-in-law say that they will divorce them if they dared to make things difficult for Hu Pan and Hu Bing along with the village. Though it seemed really harsh when one listened to such words but what Old Master Hu said also seemed correct, with Xiao Yu and Tan Mo marrying into the Hu household, it was them who had to lower their heads instead of the Hu family. What was more they did not dare to make things difficult for Hu Pan and Hu Bing given that they still had to rely on their husbands for a very long time.     

When Old Madam Hu heard the words of her husband, she was not willing to agree with him. After all, what kind of mers divorced their wives but then she heard Yu Dong say,      

  " What Old Master Hu says makes sense Old Madam Hu," as Old Madam Hu turned to look at Yu Dong, the latter smiled at her and then continued, " I am not making things difficult for you or your family, in fact, this is how things are supposed to be done anyway. If they do something then you only need to take care of the rotten half instead of chopping the entire apple into bits."      

Yu Dong did not wish to see more people die, as long as Tan Mo and Xiao Yu were good women she was willing to give them a chance but in case they dared to go against her or her village then they cannot blame her for being ruthless!      

" Fine," Old Madam Hu also did not wish to become the villain either, she was not a cold-hearted woman who would watch her kids dying in front of her eyes, it was just that she did not want extra trouble but—— giving birth to children meant taking their troubles as their owns and even if she was willing to ignore Hu Pan and Hu Bing, there was no way her husband will ignore them.     

In case, she was to refuse to let them come inside, there will not be a moment of peace if she was to turn a blind eye to the sufferings of her mer sons. Unlike her second husband who was timid and listened to her just like Hu Bing, Old Master Hu was a little firecracker like his eldest mer son, Hu Pan.     

As long as the matter was related to his daughter or mer son, he will fight anyone to death. If she was to refuse, Old Madam Hu was worried one of these days she will find poison in her food.     

Old Madam Hu looked at Tan Mo and Xiao Yu who were looking relieved and then said with a stern voice, " I will take responsibility on your behalf but from now on I hope you two will remember that you are the daughters-in-law of the Hu family and it is you who married into my family rather than my mer sons marrying into yours. If you dare to contact the evil ones from the Big Stone village then don\'t blame me for being harsh on you. I am your mother-in-law but I am the villager of this village first! If someone from the outside or anyone from the inside harm my villagers then I will stand firmly on the side of my village."      

" If such a day comes, then I hope you will not blame me and accept your comeuppance because, for me, my village will always be first!"      

There was a reason why Old Madam Hu said such words, first, she wanted to clear her stance in front of her mer sons and husband, as well as tell Yu Dong that she will not betray the Big River Village!
