古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 901: Groundhogs to the rescue

When Ning Yu heard that there will be a locust plague he wanted to cry to the heavens and ask what were they doing to him and his family. They had no money, no job and the only women in their family were useless, if this goes on then they will die without even getting a chance for survival.         

" I have nothing against taking this offer but …" Ning Yu trailed off, he of course wanted to work and earn the same money as women but he was very worried about his wife and daughter. As long as they were still with him, even if he did not become a baggage on his son, he will still drag a bunch of trouble for his mer son.      

Once his wife finds out that he could earn money under Yu Dong then he was sure that she will stop at nothing to sneak inside this village and take advantage of Shen Li and Yu Dong, he was not an ungrateful person, ever since he was a child, he had seen his father acting up and his mother taking advantage of others only to be beaten black and blue, he knew that there was no he could follow the lead of his mother which was why even though he swore that he will not become an ungrateful person.      

How can he allow his mer son and daughter in law help him only to get entangled into trouble later on?      

Even Shi Xi also thought that he could not bring any trouble to Yu Dong and Shen Li, they were too nice and kind. It will be too much if he was to rely on them only for his wife to come knocking and then take advantage of the kindness of Yu Dong and Shen Li.      

He might be desperate but he was not shameless!     

Yu Dong and Shen Li knew that Ning Yu and Shi Xi were hesitating, she placed the lid on the pot and then wiped her hands on a clean cloth as she remarked softly, " You don\'t have to give me an answer right away but I will let you know that since I have already decided to give you jobs, I have also come up with a plan to have your wife divorce you two. That\'s of course only if you agree with me," she added hurriedly when she saw Ning Yu and Shi Xi snap their heads and look up at her in surprise.      

They seemed to be shocked but at the same time, they did not seem to be reluctant towards the idea.      

\' Divorce,\' Ning Yu carefully chewed this word in his head and licked his lips before turning to look at Shi Xi who seemed a bit too excited.      

If someone had asked them whether or not they wanted to divorce Madam Shen, their response would have been \'yes\'. No matter what the time, after they were married off to Madam Shen the two of them realised what it meant to see hell in the world they were living in.      

From getting beaten up to getting locked up and starved and miscarrying one after another, they had seen many sorts of things. It was to the point that Shi Xi once wanted to end his life but was saved by Ning Yu who cared about this young mer who was full of life when he married Madam Shen.      

There were many times when they asked their families what they were thinking when they married them off to Madam Shen who was like a devil but their families did not think that it was too bad.      

In their eyes getting beaten up by their wife was something that every mer had to go through, after all, they were born submissive and as long as one or two slaps eased their wife\'s anger what was wrong with it?      

Ning Yu knew that there was something very wrong with it but his identity as a mer made it impossible for him to raise his voice because no one cared, no one had the heart to listen to a mer because their lives never meant anything to other from the very start.      

When he lost Shen Li to someone like Yu Dong, he wanted to divorce Madam Shen but instead of supporting his decision his father made a fuss while his mother beat him up like he was her enemy. She straight up declared that now that he was married to Madam Shen even if he was to die, he would have to die under his roof.      

Her heartless words still echoed in his head every once and now——     

\' Even if you are an inch away from death do not come back to my house! I don\'t care whether you live or die but you are not allowed to damage the reputation of your sisters! They are all scholars and workers in town, what will happen to them if you divorce? How can you be so selfish?\'
