Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 1080: Hired as a worker
" You what are you talking about... I don't know," Old Master Lin refused to admit that he and his family did wrong.
Seeing him pretend, Yu Dong was not angry. She lowered her head and then whispered, " Lu Huo was not alone on the mountain yesterday. I was there with him, I saw everything while surveying the well that is being dug at the foot of the mountain. Do you want me to investigate the matter?"
Old Master Lin's pupils quivered. He did not expect such a coincidence to take place, he wanted to make a fuss but if he continued to make a fuss then he and his family would be investigated till the end. He could see that Yu Dong was threatening him but what could he do? If they were investigated then the matter would surely get out of their hands!
Thus even though Old Master Lin did not want to give up, he could only bring his daughter back to the Lin family house like a loser while hoping that Yu Dong would not investigate him and his family.
Yu Dong watched them leave with a sneer playing on her lips. She did not want to deal with the Lin family at the moment because she knew that the matter was still hidden in the dark. If she were to attack the Lin family now, there was more than one way in Old Master Lin's hands to make them look like victims.
Just like right now, the reason Old Master Lin came to her house was not because he wanted to smuggle money from her but because he wanted to show the villagers that Lin Yiyi cared about Lu Huo.
It was to make sure that Yu Dong would not be able to pin the blame on their heads. A mer as smart as that would not suffer easily.
This was the reason why she was not bringing up the matter of Lin Yiyi handing her husband to the mercenaries.
" You all head to the farm, I will follow with my husbands after they have calmed down," Yu Dong told the rest of the crowd. They had already wasted half an hour and could not waste any more time, there were many children following their parents to the farm even though the farms were now covered with greenhouses, it could not stop the heat waves.
In case a child fell unconscious because of heat stroke it would be really troublesome.
As she spoke she asked Lang to bring some soybeans and peanuts seedlings to the families who came to take the seedlings from them.
The villagers nodded and took the seedlings before heading down to their farms. They had so much work to do and couldn't waste any time gossiping even the mers who came with their wives did not say a word about the Lin family. Why would they? They finally had a chance to earn a decent sum of money and couldn't be bothered by the likes of Old Master Lin.
" Did Old Master Lin go back home?" Shen Li asked while nursing his swollen feet. Because of last night, he seemed to be glowing and had a ruddy face which made Chen Mi and Ye Liu a bit jealous.
" He has gone back," she turned to look at Lu Huo and then said, " Your wife's condition is not good. I believe that she was caught by those mercenaries and was taught a good lesson by them. Her leg was broken by them, I am afraid that it would be troublesome to treat it and even if it's treated somehow, she might not be able to walk properly."
Lu Huo took a shaky breath and then turned to look at Yu Dong before asking, " Do I have to go back home?"
He was really scared that he would be beaten black and blue by his father-in-law. Lin Yiyi was the youngest daughter of his father-in-law and he pampered her more than anyone. Now that Lin Yiyi's leg was broken, she would definitely blame him and so would his father-in-law.
"If you don't want to go then don't go no one will blame you," Ye Liu said sternly. He could see what kind of life Lu Huo lived in the Lin family, even though the entire Lin family was filled with greedy people, he thought that they at least had a bottom line but it looked like the Lin family was like a bottomless pit!
Not only did they live and eat well on the dowry brought by Lu Huo but they also treated him roughly. They really did not know what was good for them!
Yu Dong did not say anything when she heard Ye Liu's words. Since the mers wanted to keep Lu Huo at home, she wouldn't refuse Lu Huo and slap her husbands in the face. She smiled politely and then said, " You can sign a contract as a farm worker and if you don't want to go back home then you can live in the workers' quarters."
Many mers were widowed and abandoned by their wives in the village. Though she could not do anything for them, Yu Dong did not want those mers to suffer outside while begging for food and clothes, which was why she hired them as all-time workers. Their responsibility was to fertilize the fields, weed and prune the plants and keep the fields which belonged to her clean including the rice paddies.
Some of the workers were hired to clean the shed where the animals were being kept for the time being. The salary of these mers was not low because they were making quite an effort to earn their keep.
Yu Dong knew that if she kept Lu Huo at home then many questions would arise but if he was to sign a contract and work as a worker, then even Old Master Lin would not be able to make a fuss.
Thus, she looked at Lu Huo and asked, " What do you say? Do you want to work on the farm?"
