Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 983: Trying to act smart —-1But no matter how smart Peng Jing was, she was ought to be caught when her son went to gather the cow dung of the livestock raised by the Yu Family, Lang Ru caught sight of him but she did not stop him as she could see that the mer was not living a good life with his tattered clothes and sickly pallor but once she and Yu Mai returned home, Lang Ru did not waste another minute in telling Yu Dong what happened at the grazing fields.



Of course, everyone heard her as well.

Once Lang Ru was done speaking Chen Mi heavily placed his sewing materials on the table and snapped unhappily, "I know Peng Jing all right, she is a good-for-nothing woman. Ever since his wife got richer and our life became better that woman started to spread all sorts of rumours about us. She is not a mer but her habits of gossiping are the same as those mers who like to talk bad about others."

" She is one of those few villagers who did not sign the contract," chimed Ye Liu with a worried expression on his face. " She thought that we were cheating on her. She even fought with Brother Li saying that we were being too scheming. Didn't she, Brother Li?"

Shen Li still had a clear memory of that day when they were signing a contract with the villagers. That day Peng Jing came to their house agreeing to rent her land out and work under them but the second she heard the shares she reneged and said that they were cheating her and the villagers.

Since they were only providing seeds and nothing else how can they even think of taking shares from her? From her point of view, she should be allowed to sell the vegetables as per her wishes and Yu Dong should only take ten per cent of the shares.

Her words were so shameless that even Shen Li became furious, he refused to let her sign the contract and said that anyone who had doubts about their character should leave. Back then Peng Jing left haughtily saying that she would not come back to the Yu house to think that she was now picking the manure of their livestock and trying to boost her vegetables' growth! Shameless!

Yu Dong's eyes flickered but she did not say anything, when Fang Chi saw that she was not worried he couldn't help but say, " Are you not worried that she will steal our business?"
" Those who have a clean conscience have nothing to worry about," Yu Dong calmly said without even the slightest bit of upheaval in her voice as she explained, " Though Little calf and the rest of the livestock's manure is indeed a good thing there is no way it could replace the high-quality seeds. At most, the growth of the vegetables would get faster and nothing else... if Peng Jing thinks that she can use our manure to boost the growth of her vegetables and then steal our business then she is wrong."

The seeds that she handed the villagers were soaked in water which was filled with spiritual energy. The seeds sucked the spiritual energy directly from her touch but the manure only had a little amount of spiritual energy left within it as the entire thing was swallowed by the livestock if not how will they give milk and eggs which were better than the rest?

All the spiritual energy was completely used up by the animals that they were raising in their farms and the residual came out in the products that they provided them with as for the manure it only had a little bit of spiritual energy left within it.

Once the mers heard that only the growth of the vegetables will be affected they heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that they would have to fight with someone like Peng Jing for their business but now they were at ease.

If that was the case then there was nothing to worry about right?

The next morning Yu Dong and the rest of the family filled their baskets with vegetables while telling Aunt Wang to keep an eye on things in the village since Peng Jing ought to fail she was surely going to make a lot of fuss. n0veLusB.c0m

Aunt Wang was also quite angry at Peng Jing's actions, it wasn't that the villagers did not come to look for Yu Dong for manure they did because they could see that the livestock raised by Yu Dong were far better than their own but they did it politely and took Yu Dong's permission.

But Peng Jing, that woman talked bad about Yu Dong and her family behind their backs and yet had the audacity to go against them. She had to be kidding her!

Aunt Wang agreed to pay attention to Peng Jing and the rest of the villagers only then did Yu Dong leave the village and went to town.

As soon as she left Peng Jing who was waiting for Yu Dong to leave suddenly popped out from behind a tree trunk and chased after their carriage. She was going to place her stall just next to Yu Dong's shop such that she would be able to snatch most of their customers. Once she makes a name for herself she no longer has to be worried about anything and would be able to open a shop for herself!

Yu Dong of course knew that someone was trailing after her. There was no way that she wouldn't be able to sense someone's presence with her senses but she did not care about the little actions which were done by Peng Jing instead she calmly steered the horses to the town and then drove the carriage to the shop.

Peng Jing looked at the three-story shop and enviously glared at Yu Dong's carriage. It was just a matter of time sooner or later she was going to build a shop just as big as this one!

With her confidence rising, she immediately set up a stall and started to yell at the top of her lungs, " Fresh vegetables! Green vegetables! Vegetables better than Bo and Bun shop just at two taels a catty!"

Her voice was so loud that Chen Mi heard Peng Jing from inside the shop, he glared at the shameless woman and then turned to look at Yu Dong before saying, " Are you going to let her do this ?"

Yu Dong stared at Peng Jing who was boasting about her vegetables and shook her head as she calmly said, " You are giving her too much attention, she might be able to snatch a few of our customers but the higher she climbs the harder she will fall."

The reason Peng Jing was using their shop's name so confidently was that she thought that the vegetables grown were just as good as theirs. And it was all because her homegrown vegetables were indeed better than the ones she raised before but compared to the ones that she sold, those vegetables did not have any refreshing burst of energy nor did they taste that good.

Those who have brought the vegetables from her shop were bound to take notice of this thing.

And unfortunately for Peng Jing, Yu Dong's influence was way bigger than she thought most of the officials now relied on her vegetables to suck up to their seniors while most of the mer concubines used her vegetables to gain the affection of their wives.



It was almost impossible for Peng Jing to steal her business that easily!

" Just focus on your work and don't pay attention to her," Yu Dong asked her husbands to ignore Peng Jing while they continued to be busy with their own things.

While they were stacking the vegetables on the basket one of their old customers returned with a basket on his wrist and a mer servant following him behind.

" Is something the matter today?" Old Master Xie asked with a smile as he pointed to the small stall outside the shop. " Did you hand that stall to that lady for running? She is quite confident while telling others that her vegetables are just as good as yours."

" Of course not," Chen Mi sullenly replied. " She is just being too confident in her foolish actions sooner or later she is going to suffer." After he was done speaking, he turned to look at Old Master Xie and then asked, " Master Xie are you going to buy some chives today? They are freshly harvested. I am sure they will taste even better than the ones you bought three days ago."

" Haha, if you are so confident how can I ignore you? Pack a catty of chives for me along with some cucumbers and eggplants. My granddaughter wants to eat braised eggplant tonight and I promised her that I would cook for her!"

In the past, his granddaughter hated to eat vegetables but ever since Old Master Xie started to buy vegetables from the Bo and Bun shop, her granddaughter would eat her vegetables without a fuss!
