Chapter 1290: Fight his fear (2)
The position of official husband meant that no matter what happened, the wife could not divorce him. Even the secondary husband did not have this right, after all a secondary mer was also a concubine no matter how many powers he had.
Not only that the official husband was the part owner of everything that his wife owned, and only his children were allowed to inherit the biggest shares of the properties while the secondary husband’s children were given the second largest shares followed by the mer concubines.
This was the reason why many mer concubines in the town wanted to throw off the official husband and take over their position. The same was true in the case of the villages.
Thus Shen Li thought that Yu Dong was thinking too naively. There was no way Murong Si would agree to give up the position of the official husband, especially if he was a mer who was smart and knew what was good for him.
"That’s why I am saying that we need to get the two of them married as soon as possible," Yu Dong remarked. She looked at Yu Tong who was fast asleep on the couch and stated coldly, "Do you think that after marrying her off to the mer from the Murong family, Second Aunt will stop?"
"No, she won’t. The reason she is doing this is to make sure that Yu Tong will be pushed into a corner and once she gets married to Murong Si then Second Aunt will think that she can do this the second time as well and the third time, until all the official posts are filled and Brother Hanjing is only left with the position of bed servant."
Yu Dong’s words caused the entire family to turn silent because they knew what she was saying was correct once Second Madam Yu got what she wanted then she would start believing that she could do this thing again and over again.
"Lowering our heads once will means that we have given the chance to Madam Yu to get even more emboldened, stopping her plan from succeeding before it can bring any sort of fruition, is a much better strategy," Yu Dong stated. She knew that there was a chance that they could break the engagement but she had asked Mammy Lin to investigate the situation of the Murong village.
"But I don’t think that Brother Hanjing will agree," said Xiao Hua causing Yu Dong to snap out of her thoughts as she turned to look at him and then said with a soft smile, "Then it only means that he deserves to suffer."
"Dong Dong, you——"
"Xiao Hua. Do you know how I was able to make this big family survive? To bring them all here where anyone would think twice before offending them?" Yu Dong cut him off sternly. She looked into Xiao Hua’s eyes with a serious expression and then continued, "The reason I was able to bring this family to the position where it is now, is by taking risks.
If I had stayed locked up inside my room, thinking that my life was done for after I overdosed on Happy powder then I would be still where I was a year and a half ago."
"Happiness doesn’t come to you if you sit and wait for it, you need to work for it. If your brother Hanjing cannot even take the first step and brave his own fears, then what right does he have to make Yu Tong wait for him? If she is willing to fight her own mother and family for him, the least he can do is stand alongside her even if he cannot fight along!"
