As they drove past the villagers, Yu Dong saw numerous villagers gaping at her or more likely gaping at the sight of her sitting together with Ye Liu. Because Ye Liu was notorious for his temper, it was a known fact that Yu Dong and Ye Liu didn't get along with each other. Their bad relationship was a rather common topic of gossip for the villagers, so Yu Dong knew that the reason the villagers were staring at them so curiously was because of this, however, the fact that they were treating her like a rare treasure, even Yu Dong who hardly get embarrassed- couldn't help but blush furiously.
However, Yu Dong felt that there was one gaze that was much more stifling than the others. She looked up and searched around, soon she found out that the peculiar gaze belonged to Qiu Bai, her good uncle in law.
She didn't know why Qiu Bai was staring at her but she didn't bother with him instead she turned around and tuned him out. Though Qiu Bai's gaze was so sharp that Yu Dong felt her entire back was being pricked by his hideous gaze.
Qiu Bai, who was on his way to the fields saw Yu Dong and Ye Liu going to the town together with a bunch of wine jars and sneered in sarcasm. He knew that Yu Dong was trying her best for the past few months, her infamous character was slowly getting redeemed and even her relationship with her husbands was slowly improving.
But so what? Yu Dong was the typical example of a daughter of a dog! She was a good for nothing who had no talents, except teasing and flirting with the mers of the village! To think this vulgar woman was trying to covet something she could never get, humph! Did she think that she can get rich just by working hard? If so then even a fool can harvest gold from his lands! Those pieces of lands upon which she was investing so much were nothing but barren lands they wouldn't even sprout a seedling much less crops for her to harvest.
As for her relationship with those mers, humph... Even though Chen Mi escaped the other two were already barren with their wombs completely rotten. With no child born out of their wombs, he will see how long Yu Dong would dote on them! As long as he was alive the first household of the Yu family can forget about rising once again!
Yu Dong didn't know that the person upon who she didn't even want to waste her time was actually bent on scheming against her family ever since the very beginning. Instead, she completely forgot about Qiu Bai and threw him at the back of her mind as she helped Ye Liu stabilise the tumbling wine jars - Aunt Wang was indeed right, these jars were really hard to stabilise luckily she brought Ye Liu or she might have lost a few jars just like that!
When the two reached the town, Yu Dong guided Aunt Wang to Song Yixu's restaurant, her memory was good thus even though she didn't come to town for more than two and a half months, she still remembered the path to her restaurant.
Ye Liu stared at the big and classy restaurant in front of him as he helped Yu Dong in putting down the wine jars from Aunt Wang's cart and couldn't help but ask " Are you sure we can sell our wine here? What if we get kicked out, it looks too expensive"
Yu Dong, who was heaving another two jars from Aunt Wang's cart and almost stumbled down, was she that lacking in her husband's eyes? She rolled her eyes inwardly and laughingly replied " Oh, Liu don't worry. I won't say that the restaurant will definitely buy our wine but I do have a source here. If not the complete stock I am sure we can at least sell half of it"
Though Yu Dong was confident in the wine brewed from the grapes that she raised with her spiritual energy, she still didn't act overconfident. It would be too embarrassing if she boasted and ended up making a loss!
Ye Liu was impressed with her words and followed Yu Dong inside as she left Aunt Wang behind to take care of the wine jars.
She took Ye Liu to the busgirl and asked her to bring Yu Xi after giving her introduction, Fortunately, Yu Xi must have given special instruction to the busgirl in case she came to the restaurant looking for her, The busgirl immediately rushed to call for Yu Xi who came to meet her in just a few minutes with a beaming smile.
" sister Dong! You are finally willing to come here " said Yu Xi, the head chef of the restaurant, " I thought you might have forgotten the way of our restaurant"
Yu Dong smiled at Yu Xi's harmless jokes and chuckled " it's not that I forgot but I can't be as overbearing as to come here every time can I sister Xi? "
" you jest !" waving her polite greeting, Sister Xi looked at her with a smile and asked, " are you here to sell game again?"
" Sorry, Sister Xi I'm not here to sell game or pelts but wine"
"Wine? What kind of wine?" when Sister Xi heard that Yu Dong came here to sell wine, she was intrigued and asked.
"Why don't you check for yourself sister Xi?" said Yu Dong as she took the jar from Ye Liu who was standing behind her and motioned for Sister Xi to taste it " It's home-brewed by me, I'm not hoping for much but I do hope you can buy a jar or two"
She knew that she couldn't just dump the wine jars on Yu Xi in just one go, so she tentatively approached her. She would first give Sister Xi a taste and if possible Song Yixu as well, if they liked it they will order the entire stock on their own without her mentioning it!
Sister Xi asked the bus girl to bring two bowls before saying " let's see the texture of the wine first"
Yu Dong knew that one bowl was for Sister Xi and the other one for Song Yixu, she was internally happy that Yu Xi was giving her so much importance. If she had gone to any other restaurant they wouldn't have given her such importance, so she was really generous in filling the two bowls with alcohol.
Sister Xi who already had an inkling that whatever Yu Dong brought couldn't be just a simple as she said - was still surprised despite being prepared. She took one look at the wine's texture and exclaimed " this looks amazing! This is really a top-quality wine! You -" motioning to the bus girl she hurriedly handed her the other bowl and ordered " take it to lady boss and tell her that it's from sister Dong. "
Once she was finished giving orders, sister Xi smiled at Ye Liu and Yu Dong " come on, why are you still standing here? Come inside"
" But we still have to take care of the rest of the stock-"
" Aiyah! Why did you leave the entire stock at the entrance? Sister Dong really! Didn't I say that no matter what you bring as long as it's from you, we will be willing to take it" exclaimed Sister Xi before going to the front entrance with two and three helpers to bring the wine jars inside?
Seeing her look so excited Yu Dong knew she succeeded and then turned to look at Ye Liu who was too shocked to speak " you see I have my source "
' you call that source????' roared Ye Liu inwardly as he looked at Sister Xi who was sipping the wine with one hand while ordering the helpers to bring the entire stock inside with a gaze of a robber staring at a pile of gold. This was not just having a source! This was like having a VIP Ticket with a red carpet laid for their welcome!
