Chapter 1408 Who told you ?
Yu Dong did not let the three sisters rest. She remained true to her word and only allowed Yu Jianian and her sisters to rest when it was time for lunch.
"I am dying!" Yu Jianian gasped for breath as she crawled under the shed where Yu Dong was resting. She plopped on the soft hay that was scattered on the ground for them to lie down and panted heavily. Her legs were trembling nonstop and Yu Jianian was on the verge of keeling.
"You are not going to die," Yu Dong was rather calm as she asked Mammy Lin to open the lunch box and handed the water bag to Yu Rongsa who took it and gulped the water down in one go. She did not stop drinking water until the bag was half empty. Fortunately, Yu Dong brought more than one bag of water.
Yu Binghuan and Yu Jianian also drank water and only then did they feel a bit better.
"Cousin Dong can we go back?" Yu Jianian asked. She swore that she wouldn't dare to go against Yu Dong anymore. She would stay quietly in the house and not make any more trouble.
"You can," Yu Dong's words brought the light back into the eyes of Yu Jianian and her sister but then they heard Yu Dong say, "However, if you leave now then all the work that you have done till now will wasted and you will not get any meal at the dinner time."
"Why!?" Yu Jianian was shocked. They have pulled weeds from at least half the field, why would they not receive dinner?
Yu Dong was amused by her question. She raised a brow and stated calmly, "Yu Jianian, farmers only eat two meals a day and when they skip work due to sickness, they try to eat even less as they want to save money for their medicine and family."
"I am giving you three meals, one meal is extra. If you quit working then I will revoke one of those meals. And not only yours but even your family, unless you want your family to suffer with you... I suggest you work hard."
As she spoke she placed the lunch boxes in front of the three sisters. They were laden with generous amounts of rice and meat, the three sisters were really hungry but they dared not to gobble the meal as they did the last time.
Because this meal was what they earned!
Yu Jianian's eyes lit up. She really wanted to go back home, working in the field was tiresome. She really could not stay in the field anymore, with Yu Dong's offer, she no longer hesitated and answered honestly, "It was Second Aunt. She was the one who wrote a letter to Grandmother and told her that Grandma Hongmei had earned a lot of money and was living a wonderful life.
If she did not tell us then we wouldn't have known."
She was not lying. Their family lived in a small village which was far from the Big River Village. What was more, no one in their family had a decent job, her grandmother and mother depended on a small business of selling vegetables from their farm.
While she and her sisters loafed around the village. Sometimes if they were lucky they would catch fish in the river and that would bring meat to the table.
Their lives were considerably simple. However once the drought struck, their small business went down the drain and they could no longer sell vegetables and all the fish in the river were also dead.
To make matters worse, the loan sharks started to pressure them into handing over the money. It was then, that the letter sent by Second Madam Yu reached them. She exaggerated and told them that Yu Dong and Old Madam Yu lived a comfortable life because they had made a fortune.
After finding out the truth, their family couldn't sit still and came looking for Yu Dong.
