The news of the flower thief was indeed tily, with Ding Xuelan getting struck by lightning, everyone would doubt that woman.
’It is great, I don’t have to deal with that woman in this way,’ thought Yu Dong.
"Are you not going to settle the matter of the flower thief?" Ye Liu glared at his wife who was seeing a benefit even in this situation. "You are the owner of the village and you should be considerate towards rs of the village." Explore stories at .C??m
Yu Dong rolled her eyes and retorted, "When have I not been considerate of the rs? Go outside the village and take a look."
"You will find that the conditions of our village rs are much better than the ones outside."
"Just yesterday I saw a woman selling her husbands for pennies or bags of rice. Do hear sothing like that happen in our village?"
"It is just that your expectations have gone higher and higher with . But Liu, I am a human too—— I cannot be omnipotent and take care of every little thing."
Ye Liu’s cheeks turned red as he realised that he had indeed started expecting too much from Yu Dong. He thought that she was a woman with superpowers and thus could do anything.
Without even caring for her own limitations he just——
"I am sorry. I was not thinking straight," Ye Liu apologized. He felt rather embarrassed for pushing his wife too much just for the sake of the rs of the village.
"It’s good that you know that you are in the wrong," Yu Dong nodded as she took a bite of the fish and then explained, "It is not that I do not wish to deal with this flower thief. It’s that I cannot for the ti being, I need to settle the greenhouse issue, and there is also the matter of gold mine purchase.. and bakery opening."
"What’s more the person who stole the underpants of the r is not from the village. We need to filter out the person first which would take ti."
"I am not saying that the protection and safety of the rs is not my priority but I need to first find a trail before I can investigate the matter."
Ye Liu lowered his head even more feeling sorry, he didn’t know that his wife was this busy. Now he was feeling even worse.
Shen Li glanced at Ye Liu and sighed. He patted him on the back of his hand and said to him, "There is no need to feel guilty. You just wanted to protect the rs, there is nothing wrong with it, Liu. Just be a bit more careful next ti, alright?"
Ye Liu nodded.
He understood that he needed to put his family before others, it was just that when he was young no one cared for him and he was teased all day long by won and n.
If soone had protected him, he would not have been so obsessed with the idea of protecting himself. Because of this reason, he ended up getting a bit agitated just now when he saw how relaxed Yu Dong was while talking about the flower thief.
Yu Dong saw Ye Liu looking like a wilted flower and sighed. She picked up a pastry and placed it in his bowl before smiling, she said to him, "How about I make a team of mammies and rs for you? You can hire a few strong-looking rs and teach them martial arts. With that team, you can protect the rs of the village and even keep an eye on their safety?"
Yu Dong had arranged for mammies to scout around the village but the mammies were bound to miss sothing as they were responsible for taking care of the entire village.
But if she were to arrange for a team to look after the safety of rs alone, then it would be much better to keep track of such things.
Ye Liu perked up. He raised his head and looked at Yu Dong, "I —— I can?"
"Yes, you can," Yu Dong nodded. She then paused and added, "How about pushing the plan of building a school for rs? We can teach them how to read and write along with how to protect themselves?"
Since they were already teaching martial arts they might as well open the school that they planned earlier.
Earlier she had tried to push this matter forward but the elders had not agreed. They refused to listen to her and created quite a ruckus, thus even though half of the village agreed, the rest of the village did not agree.
This caused the matter of building the school to halt. Yu Dong was not the kind of woman who would shove sothing down soone’s throat. If they didn’t want it then she would not force anyone.
She could just teach Yu Mai and her son at ho.
However, now that she thought about it again, Yu Dong couldn’t help but think of reinstating her plan.
"But the elders——"
Yu Dong waved her hand and said to Shen Li, "I am not going to listen to the elders this ti around. The last ti I was thinking to share the burden of building the school with the entire village which is why I quibbled and quarreled with the elders."
"Since those old won are being so stubborn then we might as well row our own boat. The rs who wants to learn to read and write can co, who don’t want to then —— I will just pass down the word that whoever sends their r sons to study will be given a bonus at the end of the month."
Yu Dong knew how to grasp the nerves of the won of this village.
The elders could scream and make a fuss but if it wasn’t as if she was making the people send their rs to school?
When Shen Li and the rest heard about this, their eyes brightened. If they do it this way then certainly they would get a better response from the villagers.
****
There was soone else at the mont who was getting a better response at that very mont.
And it was none other than Ding Xuelan!
