Chapter 1066: Whats filial piety without the love of parents?
" No, we don't agree!" Old Madam Rong had promised her husband that she would hand everything to Rong Xi, how could she allow the lands under her to be handed to Rong Yi, the daughter of that mer who made trouble for her every now and then?
She breathed heavily and pushed herself off the ground before saying, " She is my daughter, what's wrong with suffering a little? Fine, I admit that we ignored her a little but she did not die, right? So what if we did not treat her as equal? As a child, it was her duty to be filial to me and her father! Even if we want her life, she should stay silent and hand it over to us!"
Old Madam Rong's words were too loud and echoed in the entire surroundings, till the end she did not think that there was anything wrong with her treating Rong Yi so cruelly. In her heart, she was Rong Yi's mother, she was the one who gave birth to Rong Yi, without her, Rong Yi would not be here, so what was wrong with suffering a little?
It was her fault that she fell out of the womb of that disgusting mer and it was her fate to be suppressed by Rong Xi who was born by her childhood sweetheart.
" Mammy Lin," Yu Dong was too annoyed to even reply to such words, she simply waved her hand and let Mammy Lin deal with Old Madam Rong.
Upon seeing Mammy Lin get closer to her, Old Madam Rong was terrified. She looked at Yu Dong and then glanced at Mammy Lin before asking, " What are you doing?"
SLAP!
Instead of an answer, Old Madam Rong received a tight slap. Mammy Lin did not hold back while slapping Old Madam Rong, she as a woman who was given the medicine to never be able to have children with a mer knew how painful it was to not have a child of her own.
Yet Old Madam Rong who had such a good daughter like Rong Yi did not care about her and even spoke nonsense like this, just listening to it made one's blood boil. What kind of mother was this? She was a shame on the name of mothers!
" You.. how could you!" Old Master Rong did not expect that the matter of him snatching the taels from Rong Yi would turn so big, in fact, he never thought that Rong Yi would file a complaint. But now that the matter was way past his control, he could only glare at Rong Yi hating her with every ounce of his being.
"It's true that children have duties towards their parents but that is only when their parents treat them well. As a parent do you think that just giving birth is enough? Wrong.
You need to treat them well only then would they reciprocate your kindness, you treated your daughter so cruelly and you still want her to be filial to you, aren't you dreaming too beautifully?" Yu Dong arched a brow, she then turned to look at the rest of the crowd and said, " I don't care how you all treated your children till now, if you want your children to show filial piety towards you then you all better buckle up and treat them well, if you torment or treat them unequally then you might as well be prepared to deal the matter in the same way as the Rong family today."
" Because under my control, no child will be allowed to be treated like he or she was unwanted, if you do then pack your bags and get lost!"
Yu Dong was not going to withstand, this stupid filial piety badge. If a parent was nice then it was all right, but if they were like Old Madam Rong what was the point of foolish filial piety? Wouldn't the child be looking for a way to death?
" How can this be done?" No sooner did Yu Dong speak many villagers spoke up, they had so many kids, it was inevitable for them to treat one better than the other.
" Why can it not be done?" Yu Dong questioned with a raise of her brows, "It's you who decide to have kids, if you don't take care of them who is going to take care of your children? The immortals or your neighbours? If you choose to have kids then it means that you are supposed to treat them equally. If you cannot then don't have children!
Your children are not tools for you to exploit, they are human beings with their own thoughts! What's more, if you are not kind to them why do you expect them to be filial to you?"
She then turned to look at Old Madam Rong and said, " Don't worry, I will not snatch all of your properties, I will only hand half of them to Rong Yi."
Old Madam Rong gasped in horror, half? Yu Dong was going to cut her life in half if she was to distribute her property like this!
" I don't agree," Rong Xi heard that she had to share half of her properties with Rong Yi and immediately refused. Her father told her that everything belonged to her and her daughters, how could she hand half of it to Rong Yi? This…This wasn't right!
Rong Xi looked at Yu Dong and then said in a hurry, " I have so many children, if the properties are halved what would I give them? Anyway, sister only has one daughter its all right for her——"
" Why does it matter if you have a lot of children? Did I ask you to have so many children?
If you gave birth to them then it is your duty to feed them as well, why should Rong Yi give up her share just because you have a lot of children?" Yu Dong sneered and then continued coldly, " Rong Xi, this world does not work in the manner of this is mine and that is mine as well, you pushed your sister causing her to turn handicapped, it's only right that you compensate her.
Be glad that I am only asking for half and not handing everything to Rong Yi!"
