Chapter 215: 【214】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 65 (Eighth Update)
Amid everyone’s back-and-forth persuasion, Xiao Yu finally understood and couldn’t help but feel both annoyed and amused.
"Poisonous? Entangling your feet? Making you slip? Getting caught in the fishing nets?"
Hearing these peculiar and bizarre reasons left her rather speechless. It seemed that Purple Star Grass had really bad luck to encounter these villagers!
To denounce such a beneficial thing as worthless was one thing, but to also attach these baseless accusations to it?
This was nothing short of a sacrilege against seaweed!
"Anything else?"
After listening to their various outlandish reasons, Xiao Yu looked up expressionlessly.
"Yaya, this is no trivial matter—it’s crucial that you persuade your sister. She doesn’t understand, didn’t your Grandma tell you anything?"
"Yeah, Yaya, if you take this stuff back home, your entire family will suffer too. Your Grandma’s already so sick—if you bring this back home and harm her, then wouldn’t she—"
"You all better go home and wash up, having come into contact with Purple Star Grass. If you don’t clean it off thoroughly, it’ll bother everyone’s peace of mind."
Xiao Yu saw how they encircled Yaya and blamed her while also attacking her Grandma, and immediately stepped forward to pull Yaya behind her.
Little did she expect that someone, seeing her move away, tried to kick the bucket over. Thankfully, Xiao Yu turned in time and let out a roar at the little wife.
"What are you doing?"
"You, throw that stuff away, or else the whole village will have to suffer because of you. How can you be so selfish?"
"That’s right, that’s right—we’ve lived here for so many years, and no one has ever touched this stuff. You’ve just come to our village and you’re encouraging Yaya to take these things home. You’re not afraid of death, but could you please not drag us into it?"
Xiao Yu: "...."
She protected the seaweed and raised her eyes to look directly at the crowd, finally showing a hint of helplessness.
"Who told you these things are bad?"
"What do you know? Purple Star Grass has been unlucky for more than a day or two now. Go to the nearby fishing villages and ask—who doesn’t know that this thing can’t be touched? Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t!"
"That’s right, if you keep on being so disagreeable, don’t blame us for getting rough with you!"
"Look, there’s no use wasting words on her. Go on, quickly, call over the elders from the village and the village chief."
"Given the trouble that’s happened today, if we just turn a blind eye to this and something really happens later, how can we face our sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu didn’t object, letting them go call for others, while she herself turned to Yaya beside her: "Do you believe me?"
Yaya looked into Xiao Yu’s determined eyes and thought of her sister’s past actions. Since getting to know her, she hadn’t harmed them. She provided them with grain, food, and treated her Grandma’s illness. How could such a kind person harm them?
So when Xiao Yu looked at her so intently, Yaya didn’t let Xiao Yu down and sincerely nodded her head.
"Sister, I believe you!"
Xiao Yu, satisfied, slightly curled her lips and tenderly ruffled her head.
"Good girl, just wait for them to come, and then I’ll explain my reasons."
As a modern person, how could she allow herself to be blinded by these ignorant and superstitious tales?
Today, she would use her modern knowledge to teach them a lesson, to right their outdated thoughts and superstitious beliefs.
—Note: This is fiction, and the legend about Purple Star Grass is entirely fabricated. Some seaweeds are poisonous due to pollution in certain areas; keep this in mind as a premise. The portrayal of seaweed as toxic in the text is perhaps just the villagers’ luck in encountering it. This will be explained later—please do not take it personally, thank you.
