Barren land

Yu Dong didn't bother about it anymore , instead she put Yu Mai down on the ground before she walked inside her fields and decided to check on their condition . With her spiritual power , Yu Dong was like a walking nature healer therefore - it was never difficult for her to check the fertility level of her lands .

When Yu Dong walked inside she expected the ' worse ' but by the time , her spiritual energy finished examining the five mu of land in front of her . Yu Dong 's expression couldn't have been any worse than it already was , because these five mu of farming fields was nothing but piece of wastelands !

What farming fields ? These lands were completely barren ! If any normal man - sorry woman could grow even a sapling on these then Yu Dong was willing to kowtow and call that person master !

What the f*ck ! After Yu Dong finished examining the five mu of lands , even with her good temper she couldn't help but curse inwardly . Yu Dong 's expression darkened as she looked around , when she came here - she came prepared, turning these five mu of wastelands wasn't difficult feat for her and she could do it with just a flick of her finger . But that was because she was the Yu Dong of the ' apocalypse ' world , what if the real Yu Dong decided to get clean and lead an honest life ?

If she was delivered such a blow after investing so much blood , sweat and tears in these five mu of barren lands - Yu Dong was sure that the host of this body would have given up on her honest lifestyle once again !

Yu Dong couldn't help but ponder about the host 's uncle in law , who cried so badly until snot was flying out of his nose as he howled that he was actually giving Yu Dong the best piece of land of the Yu family . Yu Dong pursed her lips and removed her shoes , as she started roaming around the barren fields , instilling her spiritual energy in the ground as she walked .

Though , she didn't want to think so badly about the host's former family . Yu Dong was now more or less certain that what happened to the previous host wasn't something just as simple as ' human selfishness,'. Throwing them out after the host's parents died , giving her a run down house with broken roofs when winter was just around the corner and passing her these barren lands .

This scheme was something much more sinister it was as if the person who planned all this wanted Yu Dong and her family to die - not only did that person wanted Yu Dong and her family to be dead , they were ruthless enough to have them dead by either starving or frozen in winter .

Of course Yu Dong wasn't exactly guilt free either . At the time of separation she could have checked the conditions of the fields and the house instead of drinking her ass off. It was probably because of this that the latter party had such an easy time scheming against her . After all if she could tell that the five mus of lands were infertile then the host of this body would have been able to tell it as well .

As for who wanted Yu Dong 's family dead - only two person came to her mind and those were the original owner's grandfather and uncle in law . Of course , it was mere speculations on her part but the more she thought about it , the more she believed that the two must have conspired against the original Yu Dong .

Mainly because Yu Dong 's grandfather wasn't the mer who gave birth to Yu Dong 's mother . He was Yu Dong 's grandmother's third husband - while Yu Dong 's mother's birth father was The first husband of her grandmother . The second husband of the original owner's grandmother gave birth to two mers who were already married before he passed away while the third husband gave birth to Yu Dong 's aunt .

It was given that this third grandfather of the original owner would be more inclined towards his own daughter and as for that uncle in law , Yu Dong was more or less certain that it was because he didn't want the original owner to have a share of their family's good things - he hoped that the original Yu Dong would die this winter because such a thing like giving barren lands and run down house would sooner or later draw everyone 's attention and ruin his reputation in case the truth came out . That he left his own niece to die by doing something so cruel , but in case the original owner died in the winter along with her family without sowing seeds then no one would know .

Yu Dong was busy pondering over her thoughts , accepting and rejecting various theories while Yu Mai who was excited didn't think about anything else . He imitated his sister and took of his shoes before running inside the dry and cracked fields - Yu Mai whose soles rubbed against the hard gravel "…" He thought this was supposed to be fun !

" elder sister its so hard !"cried Yu Mai as he ran back to the road and put on his shoes . He was never going in that hard field without his shoes never ever !

Yu Dong heard him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry , she was still working on making the fields fertile . So , the ground was still hard but it wasn't as much hard and coarse as it was when she first entered . If this little brother of her entered the fields then would he have cried ?

Smiling , she handed him a bucket and pointed at the stream that was flowing not far away from their fields " the fields are thirsty , why not bring them some water so that they won't be thirsty anymore ? Don't you feel parched and uncomfortable when you are thirsty ?"

Yu Mai nodded and left with the bucket , once the latter was gone . Yu Dong heaved a sigh of relief because this little kid was here she didn't dare to release much of her spiritual energy and could only slowly improve the fields condition but now that Yu Mai was gone - Yu Dong looked left then right before releasing her spiritual energy in one big way and improved the efficiency and fertility of the fields in one swift move .

Thus by the time Yu Mai brought the water back the fields were completely filled with humidity and soft to walk on , a single step and water would ooze out of the fields . However , Yu Dong still insisted that the water Yu Mai was really good and it helped her a lot

.

Yu Mai was young thus fooling him was easy , together the two of them plowed the land and sowed the seeds together . The two of them got so busy that they lost track of time , many villagers who saw Yu Dong working in the fields were shocked but then they all thought about how unlucky the latter was lately after her mer gave birth to an useless mer . So they more or less understood her predicament .

By the time Yu Dong was finished sowing the seeds and looked up - the first thing she saw was the pitiful gazes of the women who were working next to her . What ? Why were they looking at her like that ? Was there something on her face ?

She checked herself first then checked Yu Mai but found nothing wrong . Then why were they looking at her like that ?

She didn't understand but before she could ponder over it more . Shen Li and Ye Liu came rushing over , the two of them were carrying a big bag . Yu Dong sniffed and her mouth immediately salivated with desire as the scent of pork dumplings hit her nose .

" why are you here ?" she asked as she got out of the fields and washed her feet with the water that was left . Since , she arrived early her work was mostly finished but that was only because the others were busy harvesting while she just sowed the seeds !

" we thought we will come and help " said Shen Li though an embarrassed flush decorated his face as he caught sight of the plowed fields , he didn't know what happened today - but they couldn't just wake up on time and by the time they woke up it was already really late . Shen Li was really abashed at the thought that he actually slept in ! His wife was working in fields and what was he doing ? Dreaming of la la dreams in his dreamland ?

Ye Liu was embarrassed as well , the comfy mattress and quilt was so good that every time he woke up . He would snuggle back mutter something like ' just a few more minutes ' and went back to sleep again . He kept doing this until the sun was high up in the sky and if not for Chen Mi who rose them up after he was awaken by Little bun who peed and needed to change his change , the two of them might have kept sleeping until Yu Dong returned !

That comfy mattress and quilt was so dangerous especially when it was getting colder . Ah !
