Need to hunt a bit more

The villagers all knew that Yu Dong' s mer was going to give birth so when Yu Dong went to Wang shi to ask for goat milk no one was surprised .

When Yu Dong knocked one Wang Shi's door , the door was opened by Fu Wei who was in his forty's but just like other mer' s he looked much more young then Wang Shi who had gone to seed with age there was also the fact that Fu Wei was pampered by Wang shi to the utmost so he looked even better then the other mers of the village usually when Fu Wei saw Yu Dong he would always pull a along face but since today Wang shi she brought an ounce of pork belly and some good bones from Yu Dong 's house Fu Wei greeted her much more warmly " dong dong is some thing the matter ?" asked Fu Wei

" its Chen Mi , he has given birth and you know I don't have any goat at home currently so I came here to buy some " Yu Dong didn't want Fu Wei to think that she was here to free load here again so she emphasised on the word buy

Fu Wei's brows jumped and he looked at Yu Dong with a surprised gaze. Today Wang Shi returned home and told him that Yu Dong was little different than usual she was a-lot nicer and responsible . Wang shi told him that yu dong was not only polite but also sensible today , Fu Wei didn't believe him then he thought that Yu Dong was just trying to cajole Wang Shi because the latter paid for her debt but now that she actually suggested that she would buy the goat milk rather than borrow , Fu Wei started believing Wang Shi's words .

" wait here " he said before he went back inside - Yu Dong only had to wait for a while before Fu Wei returned with a bowl of milk and together with him came Wang shi who grinning ear to ear " Ah Dong Dong , Wei told me that Chen Mi gave birth to the baby , tell me is it a son?"

Since , Yu Dong came to buy milk from them , Wang shi thought that the baby must be a boy or else Yu Dong wouldn't have come here asking to buy goat milk instead she would have dumped the child and left for her tavern once again .

" No its a mer " said Yu Dong , she was a modern woman and she didn't differentiate much in gender - whether boy or girl it was all the same for her , so why does it matter if the child was a mer ?

Wang shi and Fu Wei exchanged a glance , immediately Wang shi patted Yu Dong on her shoulder " Its alright , you are still young - you can continue trying for a son , aren't there Shen Li and Ye Liu as well , you can try things with them "

Yu Dong 's lips twitched , try things with Shen Li and Ye Liu ? Shen Li was alright.? But Ye Liu , has Wang shi even saw how fierce he looks , if she dared to sleep with him - he might actually kick her out .

And that wasn't important ! She wasn't the Yu Dong of the past ! How can she just casually sleep with three unknown guys ( you remembered it quite soon )

" Sure " however Yu Dong didn't want to talk about this with Wang shi and Fu Wei , she took out ten cents from her pocket and was just going to hand it to Wang Shi when the latter stopped her "You are not paying me for this much milk , your mer just gave birth - go and cook some pig totters or something for him , don't waster money "

" I'm not wasting money " said Yu Dong pressing the money in Wang Shi 's hand " I can't always rely on you Aunt Wang and you have your own kids to look after , please do take the money or else I will buy the milk from somewhere else , I can't always take advantage of your kindness "

When Yu Dong said that she might buy the milk from somewhere else instead of taking it for free from her , Wang Shi took the money from her . Yu Dong thanked , Wang shi and walked away in the direction of her house.

Once she was gone Wang shi handed the ten cents to Fu Wei and said "See , I told you Dong Dong is sensible now , she will return the debt soon "

Fu Wei took the ten cents and rubbed it in his hand " it will be nice if this is not a temporary "

"Don't jinx it " said Wang shi poking Fu Wei in the forehead with the right amount of force " Dong Dong has a child to take care off , I'm sure she will change "

" Let's hope " said Fu Wei rubbing the spot where Wang shi poked him .

Yu Dong didn't know that Fu Wei was doubting her change as a temporary change , she returned home as fast as she could and then boiled the goat milk before cooling it down , she also instilled some of her spiritual energy in it , to nourish the baby's body .

Once the milk cooled down she took it to Chen Mi 's room where the baby was being cradled by Chen Mi who was now sitting up straight and cooing at him , when Yu Dong entered the room with the milk bowl , Chen Mi paused then greeted tentatively " you are back "

" I'm back " said Yu Dong then she placed the bowl of milk beside Chen Mi " you can feed the baby now , if you want to but remember to not overfeed him . " then she looked at Shen Li who was sitting at a stool beside Chen Mi and asked " where is Ye Liu ?"

" He is hanging the laundry " answered Shen Li , then pausing for a second he continued " you forgot to hang it up properly , he is doing it"

Ah , so that's what she forgot . Yu Dong nodded , then thought about something and asked " are you alright with eating braised pork and rice ? I will cook bone soup porridge for Chen Mi "

When Yu Dong said that she will cook again , Shen Li felt a bit uncomfortable , today they have been eating Yu Dong's cooking and completely forgot about cooking and this evening when Shen Li went to cook dinner , he saw nothing , he knew that Yu Dong must have hidden it away - Ye Liu had told him about Yu Tong "there is no need just give me the meat and I will cook it "

Yu Dong shook her head , the three mers were still malnourished and needed proper nutrition, she could only give them that nutrition when she was the one cooking - or else how will she add her spiritual energy in the food !

" its alright , you take care of Chen Mi and the baby " said Yu Dong " I will take care of the cooking "

Then leaving the stunned Shen Li and Chen Mi , she walked out of the room , but when she started cooking , she realised one thing that she forgot about goats and clothes ! Aiye.

It looks like she need to go hunting again .
