Chapter 26
The kneel was real. Even Shu Yu, who was standing at the door, was shocked.
The other villagers were even more shocked. They started discussing in low voices.
...
âIs this really Erya of the Lu familyâs second son?â
âI think so? That old hag from the Ruan family is crying like this. She seems to be really regretful.â
âThat Old Lady Ruan is ruthless and doesnât treat Erbaiâs wife well. Would she really put in so much effort to help her find her daughter?â
âWhat else? She doesnât need to lie to Erbaiâs wife about this. Given Erbaiâs familyâs situation, what good would it do her to lie?â
Everyone thought about it and agreed. Why would Old Lady Ruan lie to her daughter without a reason?
âSanzhu, what do you think?â One of the villagers asked Third Lu and his wife, who were watching the show.
Lu Sanzhu glanced at the courtyard and chuckled, âWhat should I think? My poor niece had gone missing when she was young. Itâs been more than ten years, who knows what she looks like now? I canât tell, but my second sister-in-law should be able to recognize her daughter, right?â
The villagers nodded, âThatâs right. Then, Erbaiâs wife should know what the birthmarks on Erya are, right?â
As soon as that was said, Old Lady Ruan pushed the sleeve girlâs arm away and said to Madam Ruan, âDaughter, look, look at her arm. Arenât these two moles the same as when she was young? This child has suffered a lot outside. Look at how thin she is, itâs too pitiful.â
Madam Ruanâs eyes widened when she saw the girlâs arm. She quickly grabbed the girl who was being helped up by Old Lady Ruan and asked in a trembling voice, âYou, are you really Erya?â
The girl nodded and cried as she said, âMother, I missed you so much. Iâve been wandering outside all these years. Iâve been wondering where my parents are and why they havenât found me. I really wanted to go home. There were thunder and rain outside. Many bad people bullied me, beat me, and starved me. I was so hungry that I drank water just to fill my stomach. I didnât have a place to sleep either, so I hid under a bridge. I just couldnât get help from anyone.â
âDonât, donât say anymore,â Madam Ruan couldnât take it. She had imagined such a scene every day and night. Hearing that it was all true, her heart was about to bleed.
Seeing this, the girl quickly grabbed her, âOkay, Iâll stop. Mother, Iâll stop. Iâm home now, and our family is finally reunited. In the future, I have a father, a mother, and a family. Iâm no longer alone.â
Old Lady Ruan nodded, âThatâs right, thatâs right. I feel much better seeing you and your daughter reunited.â
Madam Ruan was supported by the two, one on her left and one on her right. She felt as if her brain was swollen and her mind was in a mess.
Lu Erbai and the old lady were not around. She was simply no match for Old Lady Ruan. She didnât have a chance to speak at all between the words of the two newcomers. She did have a few questions in her mind, but they were all interrupted by Old Lady Ruan.
Old Lady Ruan even went to Dahu and Sanya and looked at them kindly. She held two candies in her hands and smiled at them, âDahu, Sanya, weâve found your second sister. Are you happy? Here, this is the candy that grandma prepared for you. Itâs for you to enjoy.â
The twins looked at each other and couldnât help but take a step back.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Old Lady Ruanâs face, but she quickly forced a smile, âTake it. Grandma bought them for you. You guys can eat it.â
As soon as she finished speaking, the candy in her hand was suddenly slapped to the ground.
Old Lady Ruan said angrily, âWho is so rude?â
She looked up and met Shu Yuâs cold eyes.
