Chapter 901: Groundhogs to the rescue

When Ning Yu heard that there will be a locust plague he wanted to cry to the heavens and ask what were they doing to him and his family. They had no money, no job and the only women in their family were useless, if this goes on then they will die without even getting a chance for survival.

His expression couldn't help but turn gloomy when he thought that nothing he did was going to change the future which was in front of him, seeing this Yu Dong calmly picked up a spatula and scooped off the foam which was floating on the top of the soup and threw it away before turning to look at Ning Yu and continued speaking, " If you trust me then you can stay with my family. Naturally, I will hire you as workers and give you decent pay—— I am not trying to boast but I do not discriminate against mers, the more you work the more you will be paid. That's how it's going to be done, do you agree?"

Ning Yu snapped his head up and looked at Yu Dong before turning to look at Shen Li who nodded and replied, " Dong Dong is right, as long as you are willing to work hard she will naturally pay you and Daddy Xi. Her pay is better than others and many mers in our village have profited from it, if you want to work then I suggest that you, take Dong Dong's offer."

" I have nothing against taking this offer but ..." Ning Yu trailed off, he of course wanted to work and earn the same money as women but he was very worried about his wife and daughter. As long as they were still with him, even if he did not become a baggage on his son, he will still drag a bunch of trouble for his mer son.

Once his wife finds out that he could earn money under Yu Dong then he was sure that she will stop at nothing to sneak inside this village and take advantage of Shen Li and Yu Dong, he was not an ungrateful person, ever since he was a child, he had seen his father acting up and his mother taking advantage of others only to be beaten black and blue, he knew that there was no he could follow the lead of his mother which was why even though he swore that he will not become an ungrateful person.

How can he allow his mer son and daughter in law help him only to get entangled into trouble later on?

Even Shi Xi also thought that he could not bring any trouble to Yu Dong and Shen Li, they were too nice and kind. It will be too much if he was to rely on them only for his wife to come knocking and then take advantage of the kindness of Yu Dong and Shen Li.

He might be desperate but he was not shameless!

Yu Dong and Shen Li knew that Ning Yu and Shi Xi were hesitating, she placed the lid on the pot and then wiped her hands on a clean cloth as she remarked softly, " You don't have to give me an answer right away but I will let you know that since I have already decided to give you jobs, I have also come up with a plan to have your wife divorce you two. That's of course only if you agree with me," she added hurriedly when she saw Ning Yu and Shi Xi snap their heads and look up at her in surprise.

They seemed to be shocked but at the same time, they did not seem to be reluctant towards the idea.

' Divorce,' Ning Yu carefully chewed this word in his head and licked his lips before turning to look at Shi Xi who seemed a bit too excited.

If someone had asked them whether or not they wanted to divorce Madam Shen, their response would have been 'yes'. No matter what the time, after they were married off to Madam Shen the two of them realised what it meant to see hell in the world they were living in.

From getting beaten up to getting locked up and starved and miscarrying one after another, they had seen many sorts of things. It was to the point that Shi Xi once wanted to end his life but was saved by Ning Yu who cared about this young mer who was full of life when he married Madam Shen.
