When Ye Liu heard Yu Dong's words, he felt hope bubble in his heart. Did she an to say that there was still a chance to treat these severe burns?
"Dong Dong, are you saying that you can treat Zan Zan?" However, before he could say anything, Ye Zexian who arrived at the Yu house heard Yu Dong's words and felt his heart surge with happiness. He wanted nothing more than for his daughter to get better.
He knew how hard his daughter's life would be if he were to leave her burns untreated. No one would be willing to make her his wife, and she would have to live a lonely life while wasting her youth away.
Even if soone married Zi Zan, Ye Zexian would never be able to trust them and would often believe that they had so hidden intentions because if not for the fact that he was her father, even Zi Zan would not be able to look at Zi Zan's face.
"I can treat her," Yu Dong nodded with confidence. She then paused and added, "But I hope that no one tells this to anyone else, if anyone asks just say that you were lucky to et soone skilled and she or he helped you. I do not want trouble."
She already had enough trouble without taking out such a miraculous dicine, if soone were to find out that it was her who treated Zi Zan and her burns, then she would find herself the target of many more officials and the rich rchants.
"That's right, if Dong Dong heals Zan Zan then it would create a stir. It's better to hide sothing so good for ourselves than let the entire world know," Chen Mi said to the Zi couple. He was not saying that he did not trust them, but he would rather warn them instead of his wife getting troubled later on.
However, his warnings were not needed, as Zi Mu walked to Yu Dong and knelt in front of her.
"Hey what are you doing, there is no need for this——" Yu Dong said to Zi Mu, but the latter shook his head. He kowtowed in front of Yu Dong and then said,
"Sister Dong, please take this kowtow and let
respect you. You have descended into our life like god, if not for you my daughter…her life would have been ruined! Even our family did not take care of our daughter, and yet, you are willing to take such a risk for us. I will hand this life of mine in your hands if it ans to pay even an inch of what you have done for us," Zi Mu said thickly.
He was really glad that there was soone like Yu Dong in their lives, if not for her burns, how could Zi Zan go on with her life? She would beco a monster in the eyes of others and even if they helped her, it would be a severe blow to Zi Zan's confidence who was still growing.
Zi Mu lived in the society and knew how ruthless so people could be, they simply had no filter on their mouth and thought that they could say whatever they wanted. They did not think that even their words could cause harm to soone.
In their eyes, words were harmless, but as Zi Mu was not as good-looking as his two brothers who looked like their father while he seed like his mother, he knew how hard it was for soone whose features were not as good as others to live in this society.
He was only tanned and had a brawny build, yet he was teased countless tis. So called him bear and so called him monster. So even looked at him with fear.
Only Zi Mu knew how much it hurt him, even if he pretended to laugh and play along. In the end, he would be upset when he was alone. Thus, he knew that if his daughter's burns were not treated, she would be too ashad to live with people mocking her all the ti.
Even if she was not ashad, she would be hurt at the ti when she was alone.
He was lucky enough to et Ye Zexian who only cared about his good heart, but people like Ye Zexian were way too rare!
Yu Dong was helpless, she reached down and helped Zi Mu up before saying, "There is no need for you to thank
so severely. I am only doing this because I can help your daughter, and you are Liu's brother-in-law. There is no need for you to kowtow or call
god, I am not that god."
She was not lying. Yu Dong was petty and cruel, these people only took her as soone nice because they had not seen her cruel side yet. If she could save soone in a heartbeat, she could let soone die as well.
She was not soone who would take in a charity case.
But her words only made it sound like she was not willing to take the credit, and Zi Mu and Ye Zexian's opinion of her got even better. But it also heightened their guilt, now that they had lost their anger and worries they realized that they were too impulsive in burning the farm.
Yu Dong sensed that sothing was wrong but she did not say anything, instead, she waited for Zi Mu and Ye Zexian to speak up. She did not know the Zi family, but she knew that Zi Mu was different from the rest of the Zi family and would not lie to her or think of ways to hide sothing important.
Sure enough, a second later she heard Zi Mu say, "Forgive us, Miss Yu. We let you down," he told everything that he did in the village before adding, "However I only burned the fruits that were yet too ripe, the ripened one and the raw mangoes which were picked earlier… I asked Mammy Lin to place them all inside the carriage and bring them here with Zan Zan."
