Chapter 1383: Paying respects
Soon the day to pay their respects to Xiao Hua's parents arrived. Yu Dong dressed in a solemn and pastel pair of shirt and pants, while she looked at Mammy Lin who was stuffing the things that she had prepared for cleaning the grave in the corner of the carriage.
Yu Dong nodded as she said to Mammy Lin, "We did not forget anything did we?"
"I do not believe so, Madam Yu," Mammy Lin replied with a light shake of her head. "I have already prepared everything according to the list that you handed. Not to mention the things that were prepared for Master Hua's dowry are also placed in the carriages behind this one. You can take them to the graveyard and have them blessed by the parents of Master Hua."
"You have worked hard, Mammy Lin," Yu Dong patted the old woman on the shoulder in praise. After all, the things that Xiao Hua's Daddy wrote in the list were not easy to find. It was because of Yu Dong's persistence and Mammy Lin's dedication that they were able to find these items in such a year and a half, if not Yu Dong thought that they would have to wait for another year.
Mammy Lin smiled and shook her head again. She said, "There is no need for you to thank me, Madam Yu. This was my duty."
"Ah Dong!" Xiao Hua who was dressed in a pale white robe whose fabric was flowing like a cloud walked inside the courtyard. He had delicate makeup on and his long hair was tied in a loose braid with a few strands falling over his eyes. He came to a stand in front of Yu Dong before saying, "When are we leaving? The graveyard is not far but today there will be a lot of crowd. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
We also need to return before evening."
"Everything is ready." Yu Dong smiled as she pointed at the carriages behind her. "From your dowry to the things that we need to place at the graves. I have prepared everything."
Xiao Hua walked over to the carriages and looked at how deep things were stuffed and felt a bit guilty. Did his Daddy really leave such a long list? When he used to read the list, he did not think that it was big. But now that the items were neatly stacked on the roof of the carriage, Xiao Hua had a feeling that his Daddy left a list of not only test the love of his lover but also their patience.
Just look at the Moon Light Pearl that was placed at the corner of the carriage. It was so big and illuminating that Xiao Hua was certain that it could light up a room on its own.
"What's wrong, is it not to your liking? Do you need another colour or is it too small?" Yu Dong walked over to Xiao Hua and saw him looking at the Moon Light Pearl, she thought that he was dissatisfied with it and questioned.
Xiao Hua: !!!
This was small? If this was small then the Emperor who got his hands on a pearl the same size as this would roll in his grave!
"You know, Ah Dong. You are very lucky that you are marrying me," Xiao Hua remarked causing Yu Dong to hum. She tilted her head not understanding what he meant and Xiao Hua sighed. If someone else other than him was marrying Yu Dong, then he was afraid that that mer would have ruined Yu Dong.
How could she be so carelessly doting? Just because he frowned she was thinking of buying a Pearl that was bigger than this one!
"He is right," Ye Liu who was leaning on the back door of the house looked at his wife and nodded. "You are fortunate that your husbands are understanding and smart, or else you will have even lost your pants."
What Xiao Hua did not know was that Yu Dong for the sake of equality actually brought six Moon Light Pearls! She ended up wasting one million taels causing Shen Li to almost faint with high blood pressure, it was only when Shen Li screamed at the top of his lungs and told Yu Dong that they did not need betrothal gifts to make up for what they did not get, did Yu Dong stop.
Or else they would have to build another room to just stack their dowry gifts.
Fortunately for Yu Dong, they were not competitive and did not ask her to buy the same things as Xiao Hua. If they did then with her behaviour of doting on her husband to the moon and back, she would have ended up with an empty money balance.
Yu Dong did not understand what the two of them were talking about but she rubbed the back of her head and agreed with them, "You are right. I have the best husbands."
Xiao Hua and Ye Liu: "…" They will have to pay attention to this woman. If this goes on then she would pamper them rotten.
"You all, what are you doing? Why haven't you left yet?" Shen Li who was carrying his sons on the front and back while bobbing them up and down, looked at Xiao Hua and Yu Dong. "Do you want to come back in the evening or not? Dong Dong, you know that our sons will start fussing if you do not return."
Though the two boys did not show any affection towards Yu Dong when she was with them, when she went away, they would start whining and yelling.
Shen Li was not even looking forward to the rest of the day because he knew that once Yu Dong was gone, his son would eat his head with all their crying!
