Mother Sun spat on the ground as she picked up the dried meat that she had stolen from her neighbour's house. She shoved the entire thing in her mouth and then turned to look at her daughter whose expression was livid as she poured the water in the fields.
Though the two of them did not wish to work, neither of them had a choice. Yu Dong as the owner of the village came up with a bunch of rules including ones where no family was allowed to torment their mers.
They could not push the home and fieldwork on their mers and had to distribute the work. In case the mers filed up complaint against the family for making them work to their bones, they would have to pay a fine which would then be used to educate the children.
Old Madam Sun was not afraid that her husbands would dare to say a word against her but that darned Yu Dong! She even introduced another rule that stated that as long as a mer helped another mer, they would be rewarded with ten taels!
