However, this time, Yu Dong didn't have to show off her powers to save a dying mule or something. Because they had luck on their side today, the two of them soon found a healthy-looking mule, and what was even more surprising, the deal included a carriage as well! The carriage and the mule condition were excellent, and the deal wasn't bad either, so Yu Dong didn't want to let go of this opportunity.
Yu Dong talked to the carriage owner. It turned out that the owner was in a rush to arrange for her son's dowry, so she was selling the mule and carriage at an excellent bargain to raise money quickly.
Yu Dong haggled with the owner for a while, and since the lady was in a hurry to sell the carriage to arrange for her son's betrothal gifts, Yu Dong got a good deal. She only needed to pay eight taels for the mule and one silver tael for the carriage, which was a reasonably nice deal.
Once she paid the money to the owner, she became the owner of an excellent carriage and a mule.
Xiao Hua, who came out to walk around the town, never thought he would see Yu Dong. A few months ago, this woman was acting like his slave. If he asked her to head to the west, she wouldn't dare say east. Out of all of his customers, Yu Dong was the only one willing to cajole him despite being poorer than the others.
Of course, Xiao Hua didn't like her. He knew that the only reason Yu Dong was being friendly to him was that she couldn't have him. Most of his customers were like this. The reason they tried so hard to chase him was all because he was like a forbidden fruit that they could yearn for all they wanted but couldn't eat him. Once Yu Dong had a taste of him, she wouldn't have come back and bothered with him. There was also the fact that she was knee-deep in debt at the tavern and could hardly take care of herself, much less redeem him. So, he never wasted his time on her.
The last time she passed out because of the overdose of happy powder, he thought that Yu Dong must have been done for. He thought the woman might forget to breathe but would never forget to come and see him. But contrary to his beliefs, she was all well and good, and she even had money! Nine taels! She just bought a mule and carriage for nine taels! The mer standing next to her seemed to be her husband by the looks of things. Which means the child must be her son. If he wasn't wrong, then the child was a mer! But still, the clothes he was wearing were of such fine quality! Even he had never seen such fine clothing! What happened? In just a few months, what happened?
Xiao Hua once again looked at Yu Dong, Chen Mi, and Little bun, and his face couldn't help but look a bit strange.
As far as he knew, Yu Dong didn't like her husbands, nor did she like the child that her husband gave birth to. If not, she wouldn't have come to the tavern while her husband was in labor. Yu Dong even said that something was wrong with her two husbands who couldn't get pregnant and was a bit suspicious of Chen Mi's child. How come both her husbands didn't get pregnant when she has been trying for so many years. Still, Chen Mi got pregnant in just a month! She even went as far as calling her son a bastard in the past, believing that Chen Mi had a lover. Chen Mi, who was so resistant to Yu Dong, was thought to have made her a cuckold.
But now she was happily living with her son and husband...
Xiao Hua couldn't help but call out "Yu Dong."
Seeing Xiao Hua, the ever-relaxed Chen Mi immediately came to stand by his wife's side. He clutched Little bun a bit too tightly, making him wriggle in discomfort. Little bun raised his head to complain, but then his gaze fell on his daddy's scary expression, and he immediately quieted down.
'Scary! So scary! That expression is so fierce. Bunbun doesn't like it!' Little bun was really scared because of this sudden change. He didn't even dare to utter a low whine. In fact, on the contrary, for the first time in his life, Little bun tried to make himself look as insignificant as he could.
Yu Dong looked at Chen Mi's aggressive appearance like he was facing an enemy and couldn't help but be a bit amused. She looked at Xiao Hua and finally remembered who he was - no wonder Chen Mi was on high alert! This was the little moonlight of the previous owner! For this mer, the original owner was all set to sell herself and her family. Now looking at him well, he did have a beauty that could crush an entire country.
Soft willow-like waist, sword-like eyebrows, and eyes that were as dark as the curtain night with multiple shining stars. Though half of his face was covered in a veil, Yu Dong knew that Xiao Hua was indeed quite beautiful. He had a voice like a songbird that was enough to raise him as the top escort of the tavern without him needing to sell his body.
"Is something the matter?" she asked, looking at Xiao Hua, who was walking towards with slow ladylike steps. No wonder he was so well fought over by women. Even his walk was worthy of being praised, but he was too girly for her taste. She didn't like pretty boys.
Xiao Hua was surprised at Yu Dong's formal tone but masked it with ease as he softly spoke, "It's nothing. I just saw you coming out of the horse and ox market and saw you bringing this carriage with you. Looks like I have to congratulate you. It seems you have made quite a bit of money for yourself."
To Yu Dong, Xiao Hua's intention was clear, but to Chen Mi, whose heart, mind, and body were on fire from the jealousy surging through him.. He only had two words in his mind 'Damn You!'.
