Chapter 1474: Yu Dong is back
"That——"
Wu Junfen wanted to say that the child was most likely the child of a well-to-do family because his manners and actions were really elegant, even when he was locked in the small hut he kept himself as clean as possible.
Not to forget ——
'Madam if you help me then, Liao De will never forget this favour,'
The words that this mer spoke were not something a child of his age would say if not for the fact that the child was taught from a young age. Something like this happened only when the child was taught etiquette.
"Ah Li, can you keep these two children at your home?" Wu Junfen said to Shen Li while looking at the children. She wanted to take them with her but she was already bringing five to six children to her house at the moment. She couldn't bring any more.
She was worried that the mer would think too much, so she immediately added, "Don't worry I will look for the family of these two children."
"It's fine, you can leave them to our family," Shen Li nodded and agreed, he was about to say something more but then he heard someone exclaim,
"Madam Yu is back!"
When Shen Li heard that Yu Dong was back, he immediately asked someone to send the two children inside the house for a wash while he went to look for Yu Dong.
There were a lot of things that he wanted to say to Yu Dong.
Wu Junfen watched Shen Li leave and didn't think much. She thought that he must be worried about Yu Jin who fell in the well yesterday.
She also followed after him as she was worried about Yu Jin as well.
On the side, a young girl also followed the two of them. This young girl was none other than Dong Baozhi who had been waiting for Yu Dong in the village for an entire day.
She wanted to go and try her luck in front of Yu Dong. If she could win over Yu Dong then her father and her life would get better with each day.
"Dong Dong, what did the doctor say? Is Ah Jin okay?" Shen Li asked as he came to a stop in front of Yu Dong who was holding Yu Jin in her arms.
He glanced at Wang Yingjun who was in Aunt Wang's arms and the concern in his eyes intensified.
The two children were rotund and energetic but now they looked like shriveled up beans.
"He is fine," Yu Dong did not have a good night's sleep. She was tired as she had kept vigil next to Yu Jin. "The doctor helped in pumping the water out of his lungs and even gave some medicine. The fever is yet to go down but it is better than last night."
Beside her, Chen Mi sniffed aggrievedly. He was really scared the entire night, fortunately, nothing happened to his son or else he would not live either.
"You don't know brother Li, the physician said that Jin Jin's lungs were filled with water, if not for wife's actions Jin Jin would have definitely died," Chen Mi felt scared whenever he thought about how Yu Jin's condition was this severe.
Aunt Wang also hugged the child in her arms and remarked angrily, "Ah Jun told me that someone actually caught them and threw them in the well!"
"What? The children did not fall in the well on their own?" Shen Li already knew that there was something fishy about the fall of the two children but he was only guessing.
Who would have expected that his doubts were correct? In fact, he was also hoping that his suspicions were not correct.
"Of course not! Our children are so smart how can they fall into the well?" Aunt Wang snorted angrily. "Yingjun told me that someone from the village caught him and then threw him into the well. It is just that he did not see who it was."
"Did something happen last night?" Yu Dong asked the one question that was burning in her heart the entire night.
She couldn't help but shake off the feeling that the target of Yu Jin's fall in the well was her and Wang Yingjun was just an unfortunate victim.

When he heard Yu Dong's question, Shen Li's expression turned a bit complicated. Seeing that there was indeed something wrong with him, Yu Dong's eyes narrowed automatically as she questioned, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Shen Li pursed his lips and said, "Let's go home first, it is not good to talk about this matter outside."
Not good?
Yu Dong suddenly felt alarm bells ring in her head as she handed Yu Jin to Chen Mi and rushed to her house.
She did not even pay attention to Dong Baozhi who was about to pretend in front of her.
Dong Baozhi who had just opened her mouth to cry in front of Yu Dong, was stupefied. She didn't expect that Yu Dong would treat her like she was air.
She blinked her eyes and her expression darkened when she saw that the rest of the Yu family along with Aunt Wang and Wu Junfen were following Yu Dong without paying attention to her who was on the ground.
What was this? What kind of heartless people were they? They did not even look at the little girl who was sitting on the ground.
'Who was the one who said that Madam Yu was really kind to children and mers? Look at her she didn't even pay attention to me,' Dong Baozhi thought angrily as she looked at Yu Dong who was running to her house.
Dong Baozhi was angry but when she thought about the money and riches that Yu Dong had she suppressed her anger.
She looked down at the puppet in her hands and clutched it tightly. A big master from the capital gave this to her, no matter what she would certainly live a better life with the help of this puppet.
On the other side, Yu Dong rushed inside the house and smelled the scent of human blood. Even though the blood was washed and cleaned, she could still smell it.
"What the hell happened here?"
