Chapter 1122: Compensation
However, at this moment they realized that Yu Dong was much more powerful than them. No, she was even more powerful than the demon who crawled out of hell! She was terrifying! Inhumanly terrifying!
"What’s wrong? You don’t want to speak anymore? What happened to the courage that you showed when you were attacking my husbands and the weak villagers who could not fight back?" Yu Dong asked as she looked at the mercenaries who were shivering with fear.
" We…" one of the mercenaries wanted to speak but before she could even say anything, she felt a choking sensation on her neck causing her to cough and sputter. And she was not the only one, her team members fell on the ground one by one feeling immense pain in their necks to the point that they could not even breathe.
" Please…cough please spare us. We promise that we … cough cough.. listen to you. We w..won’t cough go east if you say …cough west.."
Yu Dong however didn’t show them mercy so easily, she waited and watched until they were writhing in pain. Though her husbands were all right, many of the villagers were hurt and they even lost their houses!
" You will rebuild the houses of the villagers and help them re-plant the land that you have burned," stated Yu Dong icily as she watched the mercenaries in disdain. She really did not want to make a move like this but who told them to be restless? Now they could only suffer like this.
" Yes, Yes! We will do …cough we will do it, ju..just let us go!" For the first time, the mercenaries felt the desperation of losing their lives. They were the ones who threatened and killed people when was it their turn to be hurt and threatened like this?
" Very well," Yu Dong pulled back her spiritual energy before turning to the villagers. She then raised her voice and said, " You all bring these mercenaries to your houses and then have them repair the things that are broken and burned. If your house is burned completely then you will guide them until they rebuild it from scratch."
" But what about the money?" One of the villagers asked.
" Money eh?" Yu Dong sneered as she turned to look at the mercenaries who shivered once more when they saw her look at them. " They are mercenaries, I heard that they took more than two to three thousand taels of gold to burn our village. Have their leader take the money out for your house, mental, and physical trauma and injuries. Basically, take as much as you can!"
The money that the mercenaries held in their hands was equivalent to their lives, why couldn’t they take it from them?
When the villagers heard that they could snatch gold taels their eyes lit up and they all turned to look at the mercenaries with glittering eyes causing the mercenaries to pull their hands and feet back they were afraid that they would be beaten up by these people if they were a step too late!
The mercenaries stayed on the ground and did not move, seeing this Yu Dong scrunched up her brows and then said, " Do I need to write a special invitation for you to stand up?"
The mercenaries hurried up and lined up in a single row before Yu Dong turned to look at the leader and said, " You will be in charge of making and rebuilding the houses of the villagers. Five hundred taels for those whose house was burned partially and a single tael of gold for those whose houses were burned completely."
The leader of the mercenaries felt heartache, there were more than three hundred families in the Big River Village, and if she was to take out so much money for each family, what would be left with her?
But when her eyes met with Yu Dong’s stern gaze, she could only lower her head and agree.
" Come with me," the mercenary leader spoke up, she was named Xiao Yu by Yu Dong as she now belonged to the Yu family. The mammies nodded and then followed Xiao Yu while the rest of the mercenaries were asked to stay back and clean up the mess that they had made.
Yu Dong turned to look at Village head Gu and then said, " Madam Gu, you will be in charge of dealing with the handling of the money. The villagers cannot count and I can only rely on you to help them." Though Yu Dong wanted to start a night school for the villagers, she had to first focus on the rebuilding of the village.
Village Head Gu nodded as she thought that the villagers would be defrauded if she was to leave them alone, she turned to look at the coyotes that were tied on the side.
" Are we going to keep them?" Village head Gu could not help but ask as she looked at the coyotes worriedly. In fact, she was even worried about the mercenaries and could not help but say, " Those women are evil to their bones, I don’t think we should keep them."
Yu Dong knew that Village Head Gu was looking out for her. She was worried that the mercenaries would harm their village by betraying them but this was something that Yu Dong was not worried about. She shook her head and then spoke calmly, " I have already told them that as long as they dare to go against me, they will die a death that would be worse than living in hell.
Unless they want to die alongside the villagers as funeral offerings they will have to protect them." Discover hidden stories at m,v l’e|m-p| y r
