" What? Yu Dong, do you know what you are saying?" Shen Li was shocked beyond words when he heard what Yu Dong said to him. He wanted to shake her awake and have her tell him what exactly she meant by her words but he couldn't because Yu Dong brushed past him and picked Fang Chi up in her arms.
In fact, Yu Dong wanted to answer Shen Li's question but the thing was that she did not have the time to do so, the child was having trouble staying alive and there was only one person who could help her at this moment. So, without giving Shen Li an answer to his question, she hooked her arms around Fang Chi and rushed out of the house.
" Yu Dong! You come back here and tell me what you mean?" Shen Li shouted at Yu Dong, he was so startled that he felt that his head seemed to have stopped working. The child was dying? How can the child die? They have taken such good care of Fang Chi, he made sure that nothing harmful reaches him then how can the child die at such a point?
He stared at Yu Dong's rushing back before he let out a frustrated yell and then turned to chase after her. " Mi, Liu, stay back and take care of Yu Mai and little bun, I will be right back!"
As he spoke he was already running after Yu Dong, not even caring about the fact that he did not comb his hair and was looking like a homeless mer!
But how can Chen Mi and Ye Liu stay behind in the house? They were blown away by what Yu Dong said as well, they could not stay in the house and wait for their wife and Shen Li to return, so the two of them picked up little bun and Yu Mai from the chairs on which they were sitting and made a run for it as fast as they could.
Even though the child belonged to Fang Chi and Yu Dong alone, the three of them have already taken him as their child as well, upon hearing that the child was dying they immediately chased after Yu Dong and Shen Li!
The two kids seemed to have understood the severity of the situation as well they did not make a single sound and allowed their father and brother-in-law to pick them up and run however they liked in such a case, they did not even say a word of trouble as they were picked up from their chair and haphazardly carried out of the house.
" After working in the fields, I can finally take a breather," said grandma Yu as she returned to the Yu house to have lunch with her family, she was doused in sweat and looked like she was really tired but she was still smiling as if she was returning after conquering the world. " What about you, Ah Tong, were you troubled by your boss for returning to the docks after such a long time?"
Yu Tong shook her head as she answered her grandmother's question, " My boss knows that we are having trouble in our village, in fact, she was even willing to give me a raise when I handed her the oil that sister Dong asked me to bring with me in the morning—— apparently that Qiao woman has risen the price of her oil after finding out that our village will soon be selling the oil we extracted in the town, humph, she seems like she is in a hurry to earn the last buck of her life."
Grandmother Yu chuckled appreciatively. " Maybe she is scared of Dong Dong, she knows that she was in the wrong and thus she is trying to make sure that she keeps the upper hand, but there is no way she will ever be able to give our Dong Dong trouble, in fact, no one——"
She was still speaking about how no one can make Yu Dong flustered when she saw Yu Dong dressed in nothing but her pants and bandages that were wrapped around her upper body rushing out of the house with Fang Chi in her arms. A very worried look on her face as she rushed in a certain direction.
Seeing Yu Dong flustered like this was shocking enough for the two of them but then saw Chen Mi,
Shen Li and Ye Liu ran out like the house was on fire as well.
Immediately, Grandma Yu was stunned as she chased after the four of them, even though she was old, she wanted to know what was going on which was why even though her entire body was trembling as she chased the three of them she did not stop not once.
" What's going on? You three tell me!" Seeing that Fang Chi was unconscious and Yu Dong was in a hurry, grandma Chen did not say anything to her instead she chased after the three mers.
However, in their hurry even if the three of them somehow answered her they were not able to make comprehensive sentences which only made Grandma Yu even more worried.
Grandma Fang who was working in her fields also noticed her unconscious grandson, she immediately dropped everything that she was holding in her hands and chased after Yu Dong. For Yu Dong to run amok like this without even wearing a shirt, the matter must be really serious!
That was what every villager in the village thought as well which was why even though their mers gasped and eyed Yu Dong while giving them disdainful glares for not keeping themselves as fit as the latter they did not say anything, they simply asked their mers to look away instead of staring at the half-naked Yu Dong.
However, no one could look away from the frantic look on the face of Yu Dong and they all continued to watch Yu Dong who was running in the direction of Wu Junfen's house with a worried look on their faces.
