Chapter 19
Shu Yu remembered that the old man who drove the carriage called the man Third Lu.
It seemed that the Madam Liang she had met in the county who took advantage of the old man and asked him to bring her basket back for free was the Lu family’s third son’s wife, huh?
So they were the little fatty’s parents. What fate.
At the door, Third Lu cursed and swore. Perhaps the old lady’s words had threatened him, so he didn’t dare to come in. He stayed outside for a while before going back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe old lady snorted coldly, “This rascal is getting more and more out of line.”
As she approached, she immediately changed her smile and said to Shu Yu, “Miss Shu, why are you standing here? Quickly go to the living room and sit down to rest. I’ve already borrowed the ox-cart from the village chief. We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
As she spoke, she handed the vegetable basket in her hand to Madam Ruan.
Madam Ruan heaved a sigh of relief. She had just been worried about what to cook tonight. There was a small vegetable field in the yard, but only some beans and cabbage were planted there. She had just picked the beans yesterday, and the next batch would have to wait.
If there hadn’t been a guest, they would’ve just eaten some porridge with pickled vegetables.
Now, with the fresh vegetables that her mother-in-law had borrowed from God knows where, and the piece of meat that Miss Shu had brought over, Madam Ruan could finally make a few decent dishes.
The matter of cooking was handed over to Madam Ruan, and Shu Yu was brought back to the living room by the old lady.
She realized that even though the old lady’s words were rough at times, she had wisdom. When Shu Yu chatted with her, there was no awkwardness. Instead, it was interesting to hear the old lady talk about the interesting things in the village.
Only then did she learn that Sanya and Dahu were twins and that they were the only twins in the village. She also had an older sister who was three years older. The other party was already married and lived in the neighboring Dayan Village.
Lu Erbai had three siblings. In the Lu family, the eldest son was Lu Dasong, the second was Lu Erbai, the third was Lu Sanzhu, who had just been scolded outside, and the youngest daughter was Lu Sixing.
As for why the old lady lived with her second son, she did not say.
However, Shu Yu guessed that perhaps the old lady saw that Lu Erbai and his family were having a hard time and wanted to help them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs they chatted, Shu Yu saw Sanya and Dahu quietly sizing her up from outside.
Shu Yu looked over, and the two quickly retracted their heads.
Shu Yu simply smiled. Sanya pulled Dahu to sit on the steps in the courtyard. Then, she took out the candy from her pocket and stuffed one into Dahu’s mouth, whispering, “This is from big sister Shu. It’s very sweet.”
She had only tasted the first piece of candy Shu Yu had given her before putting it away, thinking of saving the other half for Dahu when he came back.
But later, Shu Yu gave her the rest of the candy, and Sanya suddenly had an abundance of candy.
When Sanya came back just now, she had given a piece of candy to her grandmother, one to her father, one to her mother, and one to Dahu. With that, everyone had one. As for the rest, she was going to store them so that she could share them with her elder sister when she saw her in the future.
This way, her eldest sister’s life would be sweet too.
Sanya told Dahu her thoughts, and the latter nodded. He added, “Then let’s keep one more. When we find our second sister in the future, we’ll give her one too.”
“Alright,” Sanya nodded vigorously.
She thought for a moment and said, “I’ll leave two for our second sister. Mother said that our second sister has been alone outside and might have suffered a lot. If she has more candy, all the bitterness in her life will be gone.”
