“He is my husband; naturally, I will take care of him,” Xiao Chuxia felt like she must have lost her mind these past few days. If not, why would she get close to Zhou Ziming and ignore Yu Fei? She clearly loved Yu Fei so much that she wished she could carry him in her pockets and make sure that no harm reached him.
She had always loved him more than herself. So how come she suddenly started to ignore him? To the point where she stopped caring about his life and death?
Xiao Chuxia was simply confused to the point where she wished she could not understand how she ended up with Zhou Ziming.
The mer was average-looking, and he was not as kind, wise, and gentle as Yu Fei. No matter how she looked at him, he didn’t even come close to Yu Fei. So how could she fall for someone like him?
Xiao Chuxia felt like she had been bewitched, but she did not dare to say those words out loud, lest others think that she was trying to shirk responsibility.
Fortunately, she had never crossed the line with Zhou Ziming, so she was not worried that she would be in trouble because of him. After all, when had she done anything to Zhou Ziming? The two of them could still be counted as friends.
When Xiao Chuxia thought about it, she had trouble believing that Zhou Ziming had nothing to do with this matter. How could it be possible for someone like her to be involved with him without some sort of bewitching spell cast on her?
Mammy Cao arched her brow. She had a feeling that there was something wrong with Xiao Chuxia. She had heard from the villagers that Xiao Chuxia seemed to despise Yu Fei and even wanted to divorce him.
But it was Yu Fei who refused to divorce her.
However, now that she told Xiao Chuxia that she could freely help to look for Yu Fei as she was not going to ask Xiao Chuxia to be responsible for Yu Fei, the latter was telling her that she was going to take care of Yu Fei?
Who was clinging onto whom here?
Zhou Ziming was also stunned. When he heard Xiao Chuxia say that she was going to take responsibility for Yu Fei and care for him, he knew that the spell that was placed on her had broken.
Zhou Ziming gritted his teeth in anger, and so, did Village Head Zhou. Though she was upset with the things that her son had done, when she heard Xiao Chuxia say that she was not going to divorce Yu Fei, she felt her temper explode.
What did she mean by those words? If she doesn’t divorce that mer then what would happen to her son?
Zhou Ziming had been involved with Xiao Chuxia for so long that his reputation was already in a slump. And if Xiao Chuxia refused to marry Zhou Ziming, what was she going to do? Who would marry her son?
However, before she could say anything, Master Zhou pulled Village Head Zhou back. He whispered to her, “Madam, you need to calm down. Think of your position and our family. If you say anything right now, then our village will lose the disaster relief, and the villagers will be furious as well.”
“That’s right,” Master Su pulled his wife behind and said to her, “If you say anything right now, it will only harm us. So please think of our family and your position as the village head of the village.”
Village head Zhou pursed her lips. She had to admit that what her husbands were saying was indeed the truth.
If she were to lose her temper now, then her position would come in danger.
“We will talk about this later on,” Mammy Cao did not agree, nor did she refuse. This matter was, after all, not something that she could decide.
Xiao Chuxia curled her lips in a mocking smile. She knew it, now that the Yu family was aware of the rueful things that she had done, there was no way they would let Yu Fei stay with her unless she gave them a decent explanation.
“Alright,” however, as she was the one who was in the wrong, she dared not to say anything against Mammy Cao.
Soon the entire village once again started to look for Yu Fei.
“Do we really have to do this?” One of the women couldn’t help but complain angrily. “This trouble was caused by Zhou Ziming, why should we sacrifice our sleep because of him?”
“Shh, don’t go around saying such things,” another woman pulled the one who was complaining. “If Village Head Zhou hears you say such things, she will not let you off.”
“Who is she to not let me off?” The first woman snapped harshly. She glared at the Zhou family before saying to her friend, “I knew that the Zhou family was going to get into trouble. What kind of fool would use Madam Yu’s name for no reason? Isn’t it a lie that could be caught at any moment?”
The woman snorted and angrily stated, “It’s one thing that they got involved in trouble, but they also dragged the entire village down with them. Now I can only hope that we will find Yu Fei safe and sound. If not, we can all forget about living a decent life.”
Though Yu Dong couldn’t stop the entire disaster relief completely, she could stop the supply of the good things.
After all, it was she who supplied the fruits and vegetables, including the rice!
And Village Head Zhou and her family actually ended up making an enemy out of that woman!
Village Head Zhou could hear the dissatisfaction of the villagers and was really angry. Why was everyone blaming her? Did they think that she wanted this to happen? She was also fooled!
If she had known that Yu Fei was the uncle of Yu Dong and was related to her would she do such a foolish thing?
The villagers kept searching for Yu Fei, and with the threat of losing their disaster funds, no one dared to go back home and sleep.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t find Yu Fei.
While the villagers were praying that they would find Yu Fu as soon as possible, Zhou Ziming kept hoping that Yu Fei would never be found. As long as that mer was gone, he had enough ways to make Xiao Chuxia marry him.
After another round of searching, one of the women of the village couldn’t help but say to Mammy Cao.
“Madam, it seems like Master Yu is really not in the village. Why don’t we stop looking? Maybe he returned to the village where Miss Yu lives?”
Others also agreed with her; they also thought that Yu Fei was not at the village and must have gone to the Big River Village. After all, how could such a big mer disappear into thin air and neither of them could find him?
The only explanation was that he was not in the village!
“That’s right, we have searched for him for so long and didn’t find him. He must have returned to the Big River Village.”
It wasn’t that they were not willing to search for Yu Fei anymore, but they were truly tired! After looking around the village more than two times, how could they not be tired? Now all they wanted was to lie down and go to sleep!
“Do you think a lonely mer can return to a village that is three days away all on his own?” Mammy Cao sneered. She was very much aware of the thoughts that were going on in the heads of these people.
Don’t think that she was stupid enough to not understand their thoughts!
Her words caused the villagers to blush furiously.
“We haven’t searched the mountains yet,” Xiao Cai suddenly spoke up, and everyone turned to look at him.
“The mountains?” Zhou Ziming let out a light-hearted chuckle. He said to Xiao Cai, “Why would a mer go up the mountains for no reason? Unless he had something that he needed to hide.”
Mammy Cao turned to look at the mer who was chuckling and questioned angrily, “Do you think that the slap wasn’t enough? Want to receive another one?”
Her words slapped the smile off Zhou Ziming’s lips as he hurriedly hid behind his mother. He did not say anything anymore but instead glared at Mammy Cao while peering at her from behind his mother.
‘Humph, don’t blame me for being ruthless,’ Zhou Ziming thought in his head as he looked at Mammy Cao, who was eyeing the mountains.
“Let’s go and search the mountains.” Mammy Cao didn’t know why but felt a bit nervous while looking at the mountains. She had a really bad feeling.
The villagers were unwilling, but the second they were glared at by Mammy Cao, they had no choice but to follow her to the mountains.
Who asked Mammy Cao to be related to Yu Dong!?
