Snapping the broom in half

If there was an award for fabricating a nonsensical story in the world, Yu Dong surely would have given it to He Cheung. The latter didn't even listen to what she had to say and came to a conclusion on his own, she didn't know whether she should call it him being an overthinker or him being a bit too rich with his imagination. 

" I am just trying to warn you…my family will be moving to a safe place, I don't want you all coming at me later on in case I don't tell you about the storm that is the only reason why I came here, or else I am no fan of seeing your face either." Yu Dong didn't want to raise her hand at a mer which was the only reason why she didn't take hold of the broom and whacked He Cheung on the face. Usurp the village head's position? Did this mer not know that before coming to his wife, the officials came to see her? If not for her refusing to become the village head, this position would have never been handed to Madam Gu.
