Chapter 1590: Selling green tea
If Ding Nuannuan could, she would have liked to tell Yu Dong that she wanted to stay in her house all the time. But Ding Nuannuan knew that if she were to say such shameless words, Yu Dong would not like her.
She needed to make herself look pitiful like a poor child who had no one, only then would Yu Dong care for her.
"But Auntie Dong…if you tell my mother the truth then she would beat me up," Ding Nuannuan sobbed with her eyes filled with tears and her cheeks turning red as she cried in front of Yu Dong. "You cannot protect me every time, can you Auntie Dong?"
"How good it would have been if you were my mother, Auntie Dong."
Yu Dong suddenly felt a chill climb up her spine, she had a feeling that Ding Nuannuan did not say those words just because of her childish naivety. There was something more to those words.
But before she could ponder over this matter any longer, she was suddenly interrupted.
"Sister!" Yu Mai deliberately shouted, he then rushed towards Yu Dong like a cannonball. His arms were still holding Yu Jin. He said to his sister, "Sister where did you go? Why did you leave us? Jin Jin has been crying for you."
He then turned to look at Ding Nuannuan whom he disliked severely and said to her, "Why are you trying to trouble my sister?"
"Stop pestering her, today my aunt got married and you came to pester my sister? Are you not ashamed?"
"I am not pestering, Auntie Dong!" Ding Nuannuan denied the allegations immediately. She hid her dissatisfaction with Yu Mai who came to trouble so soon and said pitifully, "You know that my mother was struck by lightning and everyone is making fun of her in the village. She is upset so she is taking her anger out on me and my daddy."
"I really did not mean to pester Auntie Dong, it is just that no one likes me and I am having a hard time. I didn't even eat anything the entire day."
Ding Nuannuan then peeked at Yu Mai and said to him, "My mother said that she was with you when she was struck by lightning. And since I am your friend, I need to suffer as well."

Ding Nuannuan was suspicious of Yu Mai, her mother could not think of a reason why she was struck by lightning.
But Ding Nuannuan, who knew that there were masters who could help people in ways that common people could not even fathom, thought that it was too much of a coincidence.
Yu Mai did not believe a word that Ding Nuannuan was saying and he became even more wary of Ding Nuannuan when he heard her say those last words.
This bad girl said one thing in front of him and then went around and said something else in front of someone else.
She nearly caused him to lose a few friends fortuately, sister Ru helped him.
And now she was targeting him like this such that he would blurt out the truth?
He said excitedly to Ding Nuannuan, "So? It's your mother who did a lot of bad deeds and was punished by the heavens. You too must have been a bad girl and was punished by your mother."
Yu Mai hugged his nephew and said to Ding Nuannuan, "Look at me, I never do anything wrong and also help my brothers-in-law. I am never punished by being kicked out of the house. Isn't that right, sister? Mai is a good mer right?"
Yu Mai turned to look at Yu Dong who was amused, she had a feeling that it was her husbands who sent Yu Mai to keep an eye on her.
She took Yu Jin from Yu Mai and patted him on the head before saying, "That's right, Mai is indeed a good mer."
"See that?" Yu Mai puffed his chest out and looked at Ding Nuannuan with a proud expression which made the latter grit her teeth in anger.
"I didn't do anything wrong. I was punished unjustly!" Ding Nuannuan was a little excited as she cursed Yu Mai for spitting out nonsense. What did he mean by that she was the one who did something wrong?
She was not even kicked out of the house!
However, she caught herself in time when she noticed that her voice had risen sharply. She said to Yu Mai, "I was punished because of you. My mother thinks that it was you who caused her to be struck by lightning."
"Why would your mother think that?" Yu Mai turned to look at his sister and said to her innocently, "Is her mother foolish? How could Mai make her get struck by lightning?"
"Maybe she is blaming others because she does not want to take responsibility ?" Yu Dong replied calmly, causing Ding Nuannuan's expression to turn pale. She stared at Yu Dong in shock as she could not believe that Yu Dong was doting on Yu Mai to this point.
She said those words deliberately to make Yu Dong think that there was something wrong with Yu Mai and yet she was still siding with Yu Mai?
Shouldn't she think that Yu Mai was a demon?
Ding Nuannuan tearfully called out to Yu Dong, "Auntie Dong..that's not it——"
She tried to hug Yu Dong but Yu Mai immediately stopped her like an angry cat. He stood in front of his sister with his arms raised and said angrily, "What are you doing? Stay away from my sister. She is mine!"
As he spoke he headbutted Ding Nuannuan.
Ding Nuannuan was a girl and Yu Mai was a mer, strictly speaking, Yu Mai should be the one who should have gotten hurt. But Yu Mai ate and drank food and water which was rich in spiritual content.
His skin only turned slightly red as he headbutted Ding Nuannuan but Ding Nuannuan felt like her entire skull had cracked!
She was in so much pain that she couldn't stop herself and really started to cry.
"Wuuuuu… it hurts so much…Auntie Dong, it hurts so much."
Of course, she didn't forget to sell misery and pity.
