Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 459 Compensation

Village head Gu stared at Yu Dong wishing that she could spew fire and burn Yu Dong into crisp but she couldn't do it. Especially for two reasons, she has heard that Yu Dong was doing a new business venture and she would often hire the kids of the villagers to help her out giving them an extra income and the second reason was —— before her, the authorities were thinking of handing the village's responsibility to Yu Dong. If not for her taking care of the villagers and provoking them to vote against Yu Dong, she would have lost this opportunity.

If Yu Dong really went ahead and complained to the authorities then she was afraid that the opportunity that she clung to after sucking up to the villagers for so long would go in vain.

In the end, she bit her lip and walked out of the house with a livid expression but didn't dare to say anything against Yu Dong.

Once she was done dealing with the main trouble, Yu Dong turned to look at the parents of the mer who passed away this morning and bowed respectfully. " I know that you two are upset and nothing I do will bring your son back but I assure you that I will catch the culprit as soon as I can," she straightened up and when she saw that the two of them still looked dissatisfied, she sighed inwardly before taking a small card that she has made herself and handed them to the mer's parents and said, " I own a bar in the town, if you don't mind I will like to compensate for your loss… you can send one of your daughters to work at my bar, I will pay her decently but please do note that she has to work hard."

" You can't buy—-" Daddy Ke immediately snapped at Yu Dong without looking at the card but Mother Ke took a good look and immediately stopped her husband from saying anything that was unnecessary and smiled politely at Yu Dong. " I understand, I apologise for the trouble that we caused you, I will take your offer but please make sure to get a hold of the culprit of our son's murderer."

" I certainly will," Yu Dong bowed to Mother Ke and watched her drag her husband away from the house without letting him make any noise.

Only then did she release a sigh of relief.

" What are you doing? Dragging me away like that? He got our son killed! We need to take care of that mer!" snapped Daddy Ke once he was dragged away by his wife outside the house where the mers lived. " What are you doing dragging me like this?"

" You are such an idiot!" scolded Mother Ke as she slapped the head of her husband and rolled her eyes. Waving the card in front of her husband, " You...You don't have any idea, who that woman is, do you?"

" I don't care, even if that woman is the Empress——"

" She is the owner of that famous bar that has been getting a good business for a few months, if I am not wrong she is the richest woman here." Mother Ke carefully kept the card in her pocket and looked at her husband who was looking at her in shock as if he couldn't understand half of the things that she was saying. Slapping again on the back of his head, Mother Ke almost rolled her eyes. " You are really good, if I hadn't stopped you, you would have made such a big opportunity from our hands slip by."

Daddy Ke stared at his wife for a long time before snapping. " Our son is dead!"

" So what?" mother Ke shot back. " He was going to be married to another woman anyway, just think that you have married him off or something. With this job secured one of our daughters would have a better life, and surely once she is settled down in the town, she will take care of her siblings as well."

When her husband continued to look livid, Mother Ke sighed and patted him on the shoulder and said, " I know that you feel like I have exchanged my son's life for this job but the truth is that I feel upset about his loss just like you do but the thing is that getting angry, fighting and making a scene won't get us anywhere." Pointing at Yu Dong's house, Mother Ke continued, " Did you not see how that woman talks with her village head? She talks with her as if she is the one in authority and even then the village head doesn't dare to say anything. Most probably, she knows some big names in the town that must be the reason that the Village head didn't dare to say a word against her."

"A woman who has both money and power is not something, you and I can fight against. You want me to go against her but with what? I don't know any big names and money is always tight at our house as well, what do you want me to do? In cases like this, you should just pick up what you can, get the advantage out of the entire thing and then leave it. Be glad that the woman even offered us compensation or else she could have thrown us out of her house, you are getting what I am saying right?"

Of course, Daddy Ke got what his wife was saying but he felt really bad like he was using his son's life to exchange for a better one for his daughter.

Seeing that he was still upset, Mother Ke sighed and calmly said, " Look I know that you are upset and I don't blame you either but you really need to understand a few things and that nothing will come out by fighting that woman, from the likes of it she is bent on protecting that mer. If we go against her then she will only create trouble for us …instead of fighting just take what you can, after all, it's not like Lixin will come from the dead if you don't?"

Daddy Ke sighed and nodded his head. " Maybe you are right."
