The carriage drove through the streets of the town before it started to jolt around on the uneven paths of their village, Yu Dong frowned as she looked at the uneven roads and couldn't help but think about whether or not she should move somewhere else. Though she liked the peaceful life that she has now, she also had to think about her children, there were not many resources around the village and there was also the matter with the academy where mers were not allowed to study.
Though the villagers thought that such a thing was alright, Yu Dong couldn't help but think that this kind of unfair treatment wasn't good for her children, in her view even if her children couldn't get into the academy they should at least be able to get a decent education should they not? What kind of life will her kids live if they didn't even know the basic things such as simple calculations?
If Yu Dong's husbands were educated then they wouldn't have had such a hard time when the previous Yu Dong wasn't in any condition to make an earning. They could have at least earned enough if they were educated at least, she, of course, wouldn't let any of her kids live a life like her husbands lived before she transmigrated here but she would like it if they learned a few things.
Looks like she has to think about moving from here and looking for a house in the town. Though she didn't have much money left in her pockets at the moment, she could always earn more in the future——after all nothing was more important than raising her children in a good environment!
She came to a decision and so did the carriage as it came to a stop at the door of the new Yu family residence. Yu Dong hopped down from the driver's seat and opened the door of the carriage before helping Fang Chi down.
" I am fine, Dong Dong," said Fang Chi, as he walked down from the carriage, he might be pregnant but he could still move around can't he? There was no need for his wife to help him around all the time but just as he said that his feet stumbled on an uneven bump on the ground where he wasn't paying attention and Yu Dong raised one brow as she straightened him up. " You are fine, huh?"
Fang Chi blushed, he didn't know why this happened just the moment he said that he was fine but he still bit his lips and smiled awkwardly. There was nothing else to say, his wife was always right! She was right in helping him up if not he would have definitely fallen to the ground and given everyone a scare of their lives.
Shen Li and Ye Liu watched Yu Dong help Fang Chi and their heart couldn't help but turn sour, if they were pregnant wouldn't Yu Dong have helped them around like that? She surely would have! They used to think that if Fang Chi was to get pregnant they would have been fine after all they were already used to it but now that they were seeing everything from their eyes, they couldn't help but become upset, this wasn't right —— this was really not right! Why —— why weren't they pregnant? If they have been pregnant and felt Yu Dong's love and care they wouldn't have been so upset today!
Chen Mi saw the expressions on their faces and awkwardly lowered his head, he couldn't say that he understood how they were feeling at the moment but he surely knew that there were a lot of things that were going on in their heads and neither of them was any good.
He wanted to tell them that they shouldn't worry too much, it was alright if they didn't have a child. Yu Dong will surely not be biased towards them and would love them all the same, this was something that he has felt ever since she came into their lives. She loved Little bun a lot but that didn't mean that he was given any extra ounce of affection than the others, he was treated just like the others and his turn to sleep with her was also the same.
Even now, it might look like she was favouring Fang Chi but that wasn't the case. They never left their house thus they weren't aware of the bumps on the ground that formed every day and deformed every night unlike Yu Dong who left the house for work every day, she might have noticed the new bumps that might have been caused by the ox cart that drove by or the children playing on the ground with mud.
That was why she helped Fang Chi knowing that he might stumble. She was just being considerate, not biased but as he raised his head and looked at Shen Li and Ye Liu whose eyes were glimmering with gloom, he was sure that no matter what he said right now wouldn't work on his brothers anyway. But he couldn't just let them overthink so he opened his mouth to say something that will help ease their mood when Yu Dong's head popped inside as she looked at them in confusion. " What are you all doing? Do you want to spend the rest of the night in the carriage?"
Shen Li who was clutching his robe tightly looked at Yu Dong and was stunned, he peered over her shoulder and saw that Fang Chi too was standing there next to her. " Dong Dong, you were waiting for us?"
Yu Dong frowned at his question like she couldn't understand why he was asking her such a thing. " If not? Do you think that I will leave you all behind when have I done that?"
Well, she has never done that before, she has always waited outside the carriage to help them down but today they thought that it would be different given that Fang Chi was pregnant but as Shen Li took Yu Dong's hand and she carefully helped him down, even wrapping her arm around his waist when he stumbled on the same spot as Fang Chi, Shen Li realised that Yu Dong was the same as ever —— the one who changed was him because he was burning with jealousy.
