Chapter 21: Buying a goat

Yu Dong asked a few people about the price of the goats they were selling but the price that she received as response was sky high , Yu Dong was surprised, just for two goats she had to pay twelve taels ? That was equivalent to giving away the entire money that she earned from hunting the game and selling its meat !

Maybe Yu Dong had used up all her luck because she couldn't find a single seller who was ready to sell their goats at a reasonable price , the more she looked around , the more unreasonable the price became , the price seemed to be getting higher and higher by each second .

" Sister , sister - there let's go there " Yu Mai was bored at first when his sister took him in her arms and started looking around , Yu Mai was very happy . Being in his sister's arms was a novel experience for him but after all Yu Mai was a kid , he soon got bored of looking around and ruefully leaned his head on the crook of his sister's neck , he had been hoping for something interesting to watch thus when he saw that there was a mob of people bustling on their left , he immediately shouted at Yu Dong .

Yu Dong felt her ears buzz because of Yu Mai 's shout but didn't had the heart to scold him when he was grinning like that , so she could only sigh and walk in the direction where the crowd was gathered around , whatever it looks like she won't be able to buy a goat today , so she might as well look around .

Yu Dong squeezed through the crowd and saw that there was a mer in clothing that was even more tattered than hers , next to him were three goats , that were so thin that only skin and bones were left , the three of them were lying on the ground without even moving the slightest inch , if not for their moving abdomen , Yu Dong would have thought that goats were long dead . The mer seemed to be begging to the shrewd looking woman in front of him , he cut a sorry figure in comparison to the woman who was wearing resplendent robes " please , please , my wife - she , she is waiting for me . Please do buy these goats for six - no five taels from me , I promise I will agree to anything just let me save my wife , she is really important to me "

The woman who was standing in front of the mer frowned " its not like I don't want to buy but boy I'm doing a business here as well , you tell me who will buy these almost dead goats ?"

" but … but my wife is dying , the doctor said that without medicine prescribed by her - my wife will die in three days !" The mer cried out pitifully , his eyes turning red as he sobbed " I have a daughter and a mer to take care of , if my wife died where will I go ? Who will give me job ? What will happen to my kids - please I beg you just five taels !"

The mer was in so much emotional pain that he didn't even flinch as he kowtowed on the ground , however the woman in front of him didn't even bothered to look at him properly , she waved her hand impatiently" you want me to pay five taels for these sick goats ? A single healthy goat costs four taels together the three will amount to twelve taels , and that's when the goats are healthy , with these goats that are nothing but skin and bones , you won't even earn a single tael if you sell them to the butcher ! Five tales is too much , you better agree with my offer of two hundred cents and be happy !"

The mer shook his head , in dejection and stood up , if his house had any other valuables he would have agreed to this offer but all the valuables had been sold because he wanted to find a doctor for his wife , now he was penniless . If he sold these goats for two hundred cents then he might as well buy poison and die together with his kids and wife .

When the woman saw that the mer was leaving she spat on the ground and shouted " useless thing ! Do you really think some one would pay five taels for those sick goats ?"

The crowd also agreed with the woman they too nodded and exclamations could be heard "that's right five taels , a person can buy a good healthy goat in four taels what is he thinking ?"

" but two hundred is too little , even if the goats are dying they can are still alive - the shopkeeper should have given at least one tael ,to the poor mer -"

" the shopkeeper is here to earn not to run a charity , if she gives money to others just like that , then her shop might go bankrupt in just a few days !"

Yu Dong took a look at the three goats and her mind buzzer she immediately rushed after the mer carrying Yu Mai in her arms , once the two of them were out of the animal market , Yu Dong looked around and shouted " hey fellow brother , do you mind selling your goats to me ? I will pay five taels ?"

Yu Dong had a sympathetic attitude towards these mers who were treated like trash by the people in this world . She had three mers in her house as well and all three of them were so scared of her , that is to say the original owner , she could more or less understand there situation and couldn't help but pity them all the same . But the reason she was buying these goats wasn't because she pitied the mer , but because she knew that she could actually treat these goats with her spiritual energy and make them healthy again .

Which was why her heart felt a little guilty when the mer looked at her like she was his knight in shining armour " you - you will buy these goats from me ? " but then the mer looked at Yu Dong's tattered clothing and the thin and sickly looking Yu Mai and his eyes dimmed " you better not buy these , they are indeed really sick my brother in- someone fed them something wrong and they ended up getting diarrhoea"

Because of the slip of tongue Yu Dong understood the mer 's situation and knew that his luck was more or less similar to the original owner and her husbands "don't worry , I'm a hunter and I can treat animals as well as hunt them , you can sell them to me " though Yu Dong was talking to the mer she was channeling her spiritual energy to the goats that were being carried by the mer .

When she felt their pulse strengthen she sighed in relief good these goats can still be saved .

" alright " once the mer agreed , Yu Dong handed him five taels , took the three goats and picked one in her basket while Yu Mai and her picked up a goat each in their arms . The mer who had sold all of these sick goats that were closed to dying for five taels was shocked he gripped the silver taels in his hands and felt his eyes burn , true enough humanity wasn't dead .

Yu Dong saw the mer standing foolishly then she whispered " go didn't you say you have a sick wife to tend to ? "

" yes …yes thank you thank you so much " the mer made a big bow and thanked Yu Dong again and again " Sister I will remember this kindness , if we ever meet again , I promise I will make it up to you "

Yu Dong smiled and replied " what kindness ? You sold and I brought these goats what kindness ? You can go back and buy the medicine for your wife " with that she asked Yu Mai to start walking in front of her and left the mer behind , not knowing that one day she in the coming year this mer will become her future in law .


Chapter 22: Quilts for everyone !

After purchasing the three goats Yu dong left with Yu Mai.

The three goats were very sick the one who has given them something unhealthy to eat really wanted them to die . Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh , people can be really greedy and selfish not only didn't the person who did this to these goats wanted the mer 's wife to die they even wanted to kill off the three goat's so that there will be no option left for the mer to save her wife .

And from what the mer just told her it was clear that the person who fed these goats poison was actually his brother in law ! .

Yu Dong couldn't help but ponder what grievances could possible be there between the brother in law and the wife of the mer but then Yu Dong thought about the original owner .

Even though the original owner was a good for nothing her mother still acted as the back bone of the Yu household but instead of raising the original owner after her parents died! The Yu family actually kicked the original owner out of the family with her husbands and an unborn child without even a care of the world .The original owner 's family members were so cruel to the original owner despite snatching the house that belonged to her that they didn't even care how the original owner and her husbands might survive alone in this world with nothing but a measly sum of twenty taels .

They didn't even remember that if not for original owner's mother they wouldn't have even have a roof over their heads! however Yu Dong couldn't possible do anything to provide justice to the original owner . She could only pray that those evil Yu family members get their retribution

Yu Dong then stopped thinking about such depressing thoughts and then started taking care of her brother Yu mai who was excitedly waving his hands at the stand that was selling candied hawthorns !

Yu Dong who had hundreds of taels in her pocket did not act thrifty at all , she took out 20 cents out of her pouch and went to the stand and brought four candied hawthorns for her husbands and Yu mai ! Then she handed one hawthorn to Yu MI and kept her other three candid hawthorn in her baskets.

After purchasing the candied hawthorns she walked around for a while before she took a sharp left - according to the original owner's memory this street was the one where the poor people generally brought their clothes .

She had seen that except the original owner no one owned quilt in the house, even though Chen Mi was pregnant he only had a thin sheet of patchwork of old clothes , there wasn't even a mattress on his bad except a thin bedding made from the old clothes , mattresses might really be pricy because the original owner didn't have one either ! However , This couldn't go any longer , even though the original owner treated the three mers like slaves , Yu Dong couldn't bring herself to ignore their sufferings , so she had decided to buy some quilts , mattresses and clothes for Yu Mai and her husbands .

She looked around for quite some time but neither of the shops sold the type of the quilt she wanted to buy .

Even though it was autumn now in just a few months winter will arrive and then with her house condition it would be really very difficult for her husbands to survive this year winter without a decent quilt over their bodies .

And there was also the matter of no mattresses at home even though Yu Dong was use to harsh conditions this body that her soul was occupying was raised in a rather pampered manner so without a mattress Yu Dong would wake up with a backache ache every morning .

And She couldn't help but pity the three mers who were living like this for months even with her spiritual energy she still felt her back aching every morning .She didn't even want to imagine how difficult it would have been for three mers who were weaker in comparison to her .

After walking for quite some time Yu Dong finally arrived at a run down shop , it was quite ordinary looking in comparison to the shop that were aligned next to it .

However Yu Dong could see that the quilt and mattress in the shop were much more fluffy and thick in comparison to the other shops .

Yu Dong at once knew that this shop was much better to the other shops that she has seen !

She entered the shop and just as she entered , immediately a girl came running in her direction .

The girl beamed at Yu Dong smiling so brightly that Yu Dong felt her heart go mushy .

" are you here a to buy quilt older sister " asked the young girl.

Yu Dong put the goat that she was carrying in her arms inside the basket that had another goat inside it already , she wanted to take the goat that was in Yu Mai 's arm and keep it inside the basket as well but Yu Mai refused hugging the small goat in his arms , Yu Dong didn't stop him instead she let him do what he wanted and placed the basket that she was carrying on her back on to the shop 's floor , the goats have been treated with her spiritual energy for quite sometime and now all of the were breathing with ease , their abdomens rise and fell together in sync without any difficulties .

Yu Dong looked at the little girl and smiled " that right I am here to buy some quilts and mattresses for my family can you help me to select five mattresses and three quilts for grown up and one for this " pointing at Yu Mai, Yu Dong added " for my little brother "

The girl looked at Yu Mai who was caressing the goat in his arms and smiling foolishly , she pondered for a bit then looked at the red lotus glimmering at the centre of his forehead , surprised she couldn't help but gasp thinking how good this young mer 's life was , his sister was actually buying him a quilt ! Ah , what a great luck !

However , this boy wasn't her family's mer and she couldn't say anything regarding this in the end , she returned to look at Yu Dong with a smile and said " sister , young mers goes through a growth spurt when they are ten , why don't you buy an adult size quilt instead of a smaller one ? With younger brother 's built , its clear he will get his growth spurt in one or two years why waste a good quilt by buying a smaller one ?"

I have a wrist injury so I'm taking time off
