Dedicating todays chapter to time_less, moondark, Maria_Garcia _1311, raven_zee,chrisb13.
He might have said a lot of things but he did not say anything that could've been used against him!
The villagers too realised it after He Cheung pointed it out to them, they were both indignant and at loss, because of He Cheung they were in this dangerous situation and yet he was deliberately trying to shirk responsibility.
Yu Dong wasn't surprised, she knew that after the matter was exposed He Cheung would try his best to act as if he had nothing to do with it, after all, he might have tried to egg the villagers on but he did not ask them to do anything, it was the villagers who came to their own conclusions. In short, He Cheung was smart enough to put the gun on someone's shoulder and fire it, the villagers were the only ones who were foolish enough to think that they were doing something really smart.

" And Yu Dong too!" He Cheung turned to look at her with a blaming look in his eyes as he stubbornly glared at her. " I am just a mer, I don't know a lot of things and might have said some things that were upsetting for you but you should have put those things past you and come to see my wife, after all, I am only responsible for taking care of the house and the children what else do I know?"
"That mer is really sly," murmured Wu Junfen as she shook her head not only did he turn the matter back to the villagers, he even turned the entire thing against Yu Dong. Of course, he was just a mer and Yu Dong was a woman, if they were to carefully think about everything else, the odds weren't in Yu Dong's favour but then again Yu Dong was someone who could care less about anyone who went against her.
Sure enough, she opened her mouth a second later.
" So you are stupid enough not to tell your wife that someone came telling you that there would be a flood? Are you really that big of a fool if so then the village head Gu's backyard must be really colourful!" Yu Dong raised a brow and looked at He Cheung with a mocking smirk, sure you want to act like an idiot? Then she will make sure that he became a thorough idiot!
" You…" though He Cheung was angry enough to curse at Yu Dong he didn't get the chance to do when a stern voice cut him off.
" Enough!" Village head Gu felt like her head was going to burst, she did hear it from her husband that Yu Dong came to find trouble with them but he was very vague and made it sound like she was just trying to make things difficult for them.
She and Yu Dong has been at odds with each other and since the latter was the first choice of the officials, Village head Gu has always taken her as a rival but that didn't mean that she was willing to put her villagers' life in danger. She has been afraid that He Cheung would go to his mother's house and make things difficult for her which was why she has been turning a blind eye to his antics but looks like her act only made things difficult for everyone in the village.

" Can't you see that we already have enough trouble as it is?" snapped Village head Gu as she glared at her husband, this idiot he was more of an obstacle than a help to her. If only he hadn't made it sound like Yu Dong deliberately came to find trouble over Xiao Hua's matter she wouldn't have turned deaf ears to the news regarding the flood.
Of course, it was her fault for letting herself be swept up by the pillow talk but still!
He Cheung should have known better than that! He should not have made things difficult for her like this.
" Yu Dong, I know that things are difficult for you but at least take a few villagers with you," now that the situation was like this there was nothing else that Village head Gu could do, at most, she could send a few villagers with Yu Dong and then let the others take care of. " I am not asking you to bring everyone there with you but you can at least bring the mers and the children with you right?"
Village head Gu has seen that Yu Dong was being fair to the mers and the children, given that they were the weakest it would be fine to leave them with her. She doubted that Yu Dong would find trouble with them as for the women. " I will take the women with me and they will have to look for a way out for themselves just take care of the mers until the flood is here, after it's over, I will have their wives take them away with them——"
" That's not fair," before village head Gu could finish speaking the women of the village interrupted her. Right now only Yu Dong the one who had food and clean water with her, if she only took the mers and children with her what will happen to them?
" She is right, village head we don't have any ration and we can't even go to the town in this condition if we don't go with Yu Dong then what are we going to do?" Ah Cy saw that the village head was suddenly siding with the mers and sending them with Yu Dong to her hideout and couldn't help but speak up.
They were the members of the village as well, they deserved to be treated in the same way as the mers, why was it that they were asked to take care of themselves but the mers were allowed to go with Yu Dong?
"What are you talking about?" Village head Gu turned to look at the women who were voicing their complaints and frowned. " You all, did you not say that you were the pillars of your family why is it that you are suddenly acting like this? Can't you even take care of yourself? Do you want your husbands and children to fend for themselves while you live comfortably?"
