บท 17: Sell him again?
Yu Mai's boasting got him a number of envious and jealous glares , the children here all knew that their family members will never come back to bring them home again , all of them were resentful and angry yet they had no way to release their rage - when Yu Mai came to the shop , all of them soon realised that the boy was a big softie and completely stupid , they would sometimes use Yu Mai as their punching bag to feel happy about themselves . But now that stupid idiot upon whom they all looked down on was returning back home yet all them will have to stay in this old diner ! How unjust ! They were definitely more loveable and smart than Yu Mai , so why was it that this stupid mer was more lucky than them ?
" Alright go back inside what are you looking at ?" The boss lady saw that the children in her shops were resentfully watching Yu Mai who was standing proud as a peacock in front of them " and you - aren't you here to take your brother away ? Take him - take him now before he rubs off his stupidity off my other workers "
" Yes , Yes " Yu Dong didn't like the tone of the boss lady but she also didn't want to fight with an old woman she will ever going to see , so she took Yu Mai 's little hand and walked out of the diner , the resentful glares of the children still burning in her back .
Once Yu Mai was out of the diner , his demeanour took a complete one eighty degrees change , he happily looked around - steering Yu Dong from shop to shop " Uncle .. Uncle - she my sister came back , she will bring me back home !"
" Auntie see see , you said that I was a wild child and no one wanted me , see My sister brought me back !"
" Nice grandma , my sister came to bring me back home " through out the street , Yu Mai kept announcing to everyone who would listen to him , that his sister came back to bring him home , Yu Dong's face was flushed red but she didn't stop him , after all the original owner was in the wrong first , she might as well let Yu Mai let out his grievances and get her comeuppance .
" Oh you are Mai 's elder sister ?" Said the old woman who was selling vegetable . Her beady eyes swept up and down Yu Dong 's figure and she nodded slightly after making sure that Yu Dong was indeed not that well off " Mai told me about you , he said that you sold him because you had no money and your family kicked you out after your parents died , He was really sure that you will come back for him - its good that you came to get him , or else such a bright and happy child , I wouldn't have liked it if he got depressed like the others "
The other children in the diner was left behind with the same excuse , their parents told them the same thing , that they will come back to get them once everything was settled but days turned to months and months turned into years , yet no one from their home came back to bring them away . The old lady thought that Yu Dong was the same but the young girl definitely proved her wrong .
Yu Dong swallowed her embarrassment and guilt and smiled a little hesitantly " yes , Those time were really not good , I didn't want Mai to suffer with me , I do feel awfully guilty about what I did but I promise I will treat him better and make up for my six months absence "
Yu Dong ! You better pray that I Don't meet you in the underworld or I'm gonna kick your ass ! Cried Yu Dong in her head as she patted Yu Mai 's small head , the little guy had never been touched so affectionately by his sister , he immediately clutched his head and giggle foolishly . Yu Dong saw that the little boy was happy with just a little bit of her affection and felt even more awful about it , this - just what kind of person the original Yu Dong was , was physically abusing her husbands was not enough for her to collect more bad her karma that she had to be so hard on brother as well ?
Yu Dong thanked the old lady for her kindness towards Yu Mai and took the little boy with her . Now that she was poor once again , she took out the tiger meat and deer meat from her inner world , while Yu Mai was busy looking around the busy street , then led her brother to a classy looking restaurant .
The busgirl saw Yu Dong but compared to the girl in the medical hall , she nodded at her politely and said " how can I help you ?"
Yu Dong who was already liking this restaurant , smiled and said " I'm a hunter , I have hunted a tiger and deer this morning , I would like to sell the meat here , its still fresh "
Yu Dong showed the meat that was cleaned off blood and grime to the busgirl who nodded approvingly , then she smiled and said " I'm not in charge of buying meat , the chef lady is , please wait I will bring her "
The busgirl went to the back room which was most probably the kitchen , Yu Dong was left behind but she didn't felt awkward or anything , she kept standing on the entrance and waited for the busgirl , she knew her current standard and also understood that the busgirl was already showing her enough respect by not throwing her out of the restaurant , so she didn't feel bad about left standing at the counter .
Instead it was Yu Mai who stiffened and clutched on his sister's cloth , because he was slow in understanding things , he didn't get the gist of the conversation but only understood one word ' sell ' - was his sister going to sell him again ?
