Chapter 481: Its just a bit of rain" And how do you know that?" asked Aunt Wang, she recognised the woman who was looking disdainful at once, wasn't this none other than Ah Cy?
She knew that this woman has always been looking for trouble with Yu Dong, so she didn't take her words at heart and simply spoke about what was going on in her head. " Did you go and see the ocean for yourself?"
The ocean has always been an object of terror for the villagers, even more so after the ocean flooded their village years ago, so of course, not many villagers went close to the ocean only a few village won who made their livelihood by catching fish were willing to go to the sea with a boat other than them everyone stayed away from the ocean especially Ah Cy when she was young, she took her younger brother to play at the ocean and nearly got drowned ever since then she has never ever taken a step closer to the ocean, what was more she was a farr was there any need for her to get closer to the ocean?
She flushed realising that Aunt Wang was deliberately making things difficult for her. She pursed her lips and sullenly said, " Of course, I didn't but I heard from He Cheung that Yu Dong was simply trying to make things difficult for him and his family. You know how she is, always finding trouble with everyone she doesn't like."
Ah, Cy has been always jealous of Yu Dong, after all, she and Yu Dong were of the sa age but sohow the latter seed to have jumped through heaps and bounds and beca soone, that she can never beco. So, every ti Ah Cy got the chance to condemn Yu Dong, she will definitely do it.
Aunt Wang didn't like how Ah Cy was talking bad about Yu Dong behind her back but before she could retort a soft voice ca floating toward them. " Yu Dong doesn't find trouble with anyone, it's them who co looking for trouble with her, it's not her fault that people keep pushing their cheeks in front of her to get slapped."
As soon as the voice fell, Ah Cy and everyone else turned to look at the source of the voice and when they saw a thin woman dressed in a grey oversize shirt and pants. A hunting bow was hitched on her back and her expression was that of languidness as if she just didn't retort Ah Cy.
" Li Li! I knew it was you!" Ah Cy sneered as she harrumphed at the Li Li. " I knew that no one other than you will be willing to suck up to Yu Dong like that."
" Is that so?" Li Li tilted her head to the side with a blank face. " Then why did you turn to look at ?"
Ah Cy: "….."
Everyone else: "….."
Aunt Wang: "..."
Ah Cy was stupefied into silence as she looked at Li Li, she wasn't angry after all everyone knew that Li Li had so problems at the top of her head, she liked to say that she could hunt but no one saw her hunting and what was even more so, she lived alone in a small hut at the entrance of the village with no family mbers yet many people heard her talk to herself. She was simply crazy, why will she bother herself with a crazy woman?
Aunt Wang on the other hand had a good impression of Li Li after all the latter once brought a freshly caught wild chicken for her when she was sick. Seeing that she ca to look for her, Aunt Wang naturally smiled and said, " Li Li, did co here to look for ?"
Only then did Li Li turn her head to look at Aunt Wang while her eyes blinked in a rapid motion. " I did …. I wanted to know if I can co with you. My house is at the low planes I am afraid that I will be taken away by the flood, I am after all alone…" she slowly raised her hand and showed the food rations that she had in her house as she added. " I used all the money to buy this but I have nowhere to stay."
Aunt Wang blinked along with Li Li, she didn't want to burden Yu Dong but at the sa ti, she knew that Yu Dong wouldn't leave Li Li alone either, after all, they were talking about a life here. Li Li might have a bit of craziness on her top floor, she was also a resident of the village, and helping was her duty, so Aunt Wang nodded and said, " All right, you can co with ..but make sure to not run around like you always do… if you wander around and sothing happened to you then we won't co to for you, got it."
" Got it," said Li Li but there was a dazed look in her eyes making Aunt Wang wonder if she really heard her or not. Nonetheless, she still patted the empty space on her ox cart and said, " Co on then... I will take you with ."
Li Li nodded and then took a seat on the ox cart, seeing that she has settled down properly Aunt Wang whipped the ox tied to her cart and took the cart away.
The village won who were left behind all looked at Aunt Wang who left them without answering their questions and looked at Ah Cy before saying, " Are you sure that there will be no flood?"
Ah, Cy snorted at their words and rolled her eyes. " Of course not, if there was a flood then it would have started to rain by now——"
Just as she said that a loud thunderclap resounded in the sky and then big, fat droplets of rainwater started to drop down at their faces. The won all exchanged and looked at each other before Ah Cy cleared her throat and said, "It's nothing but a little rain."
The other won didn't make any preparations either, so they all too nodded their heads. It would be better if this was nothing else but a bit of rain.
