Chapter 67: Is This My Real Mother?
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu was speechless. Ha? This rumor was too exaggerated.
However, before Shu Yu could explain, the gossipy Lu Sanzhu had already started telling the old lady excitedly all he learned.
Shu Yu thus remained silent and looked at Dahu and Sanya.
The old lady had probably rushed back after hearing the rumors. The two children looked very disheveled. God knows if they had taken a cart. Their shoes were worn out badly and their toes were exposed.
Shu Yu patted the two childrenâs heads and said, âYou must be tired from the journey. Are you hungry?â
âIâm not hungry,â Dahu immediately replied with a tense face, but as soon as he said that, his stomach grumbled.
The little boyâs face turned red and he quickly took a few steps back.
Shu Yu laughed. These two children were really capable of healing peopleâs hearts. If they were stolen and sold by Old Lady Ruan, what would happen to them in the future? Donât say that they would lead a good life in the Yu family. They were just a tool in the scheme of the deceitful Master Geng and Madame Yu. Once they were useless, they would only be abandoned and have no way to live.
Fortunately, they were now safe.
Shu Yu held one of them in each hand and brought them to the kitchen.
âI bought a few meat buns in town this morning, but theyâre a little cold now. Letâs heat them up before eating.â
âMeat buns?â Sanya and Dahu exclaimed and couldnât help but swallow their saliva.
Shu Yu laughed and asked them to help start the fire. The meat buns were heated up very quickly.
Shu Yu brought out three bowls, each with two buns in it. Then, she called out to the old lady, who was still listening to Lu Sanzhuâs nonsense.
At this point, the old lady already had a rough idea of what had happened. When she entered the kitchen, she held Shu Yuâs hand, her face full of fear, âFortunately, we have you, Erya. Thank God youâre back, otherwiseâŠâ
Her eyes turned red and she sobbed, âOtherwise, this family would really have been ruined.â
She didnât even know that Old Lady Ruan had her eyes on Dahu and Sanya. Their family had almost been finished.
Why didnât the heavens take that inhumane beast? If anything happened to Dahu and Sanya, she vowed to take Old Lady Ruan down with her.
Shu Yu patted her head gently and comforted her, âArenât they safe now? Our family is safe and sound, and the Ruan family has received their retribution. I donât think the Ruan family will dare to do anything more after this.â
âItâs all thanks to you.â
Shu Yu pushed the bowl to her, âLetâs not talk about this anymore. Grandma, you must be hungry now, having to rush all the way back. Have something to eat and fill your stomach first. I still have something to discuss with you.â
âAlright, alright,â The old lady was happy. When she saw the fragrant meat bun, she didnât hold back and took two big bites.
Lu Sanzhu gulped and chuckled, âEryaâŠâ
The old lady glanced at him. To think Erya could control her third son. If it was in the past, Lu Sanzhu would have snatched all the meat buns away without a word, and even she, his mother, could not control him.
Yet now, he was yearning for the meat buns but still didnât even dare to eat a single one.
The old lady gloated and took a big bite in front of him, âMm, itâs so fragrant. As expected of meat buns, theyâre much better than vegetable buns. Sanya, Dahu, hurry up and eat while itâs hot. Eat more.â
Lu Sanzhu was speechless. Was this really his real mother? Was there such an immoral mother?
