Chapter 88: Protruding Bones
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The old lady felt even more upset. Why was she saying that she had not lost weight? Daya was even slimmer than the last time she saw her, and she looked older too.
She couldnât help but glare at Zhang Shu, who was standing next to Daya, and was obviously blaming him.
Zhang Shu looked guilty, âIâm sorry, grandma. I⊠I didnât take good care of her.â
Daya quickly changed the topic, âGrandma, whereâs Erya? I want to see Erya.â
The old lady quickly turned to the side and shouted to Shu Yu, who was behind her, âErya, come quickly. Meet your sister and brother-in-law.â
Shu Yu walked up to Daya in a few steps. Daya grabbed her hand excitedly and sized her up, âGood, good. Our Erya is safe and sound. Itâs good that youâre home. The family is reunited. Donât leave anymoreâŠâ
...
Shu Yu nodded, âYeah, Iâm back, sis.â
She reached out to hug Daya, only to feel that the body under her hands was almost only left with bones, which was very uncomfortable to the touch.
Shu Yu could not help but frown, but Daya quickly let go of her and said with a smile, âLetâs go in. Weâll talk inside.â
Shu Yu looked at her face. There were dark circles and eye bags under her eyes. Her lips were colorless, not to mention her pale face.
Looking at her appearance, not to mention that she looked older than Cuihua of the same generation, she even looked older than Madam Li.
What kind of life did she have to lead to be in such a poor state?
Shu Yu had guessed that Dayaâs life was not easy, but she did not expect it to be so difficult.
She opened her mouth and stared at Zhang Shu. It was only when Daya held her hand that Shu Yu suppressed the anger in her heart. She held Dayaâs hand tightly and they entered the house together.
Zhang Shu followed behind, embarrassed. After he went to see Lu Erbai with Daya, he walked to a corner and chatted softly with Daniu and Lai Jinhai.
Daya was very concerned about Shu Yu and asked her where she had been all these years, how she had been, and if she had suffered.
Shu Yu still said the same words as before, and Daya was relieved to hear that.
Not long after, the old lady came over to call for lunch.
Lu Sixing still hadnât come. The old lady was thinking that she might have been delayed by something.
âLetâs eat first. Iâll leave some food for them. We canât possibly wait for them with an empty stomach.â
There were a lot of people, so they set up two tables, one in the central room and one in the kitchen.
When the dishes were served, everyone immediately felt like their stomachs were growling.
This meal was much more sumptuous than they had imagined. Although the veggie dishes took up a huge portion, there were also fish, meat, and eggs. They didnât skimp on the oil, which made people drool.
The old lady glanced at the crowd, âAlright, letâs eat.â
Almost everyone subconsciously reached for the meat dish. Only Daya smiled and reached for the towel gourd that was closest to her.
Shu Yu was two seats away from her, but she had been paying attention to her.
When they finished eating, she noticed that Daya didnât eat much.
Shu Yu could not help but frown.
When they finished eating, Lu Sixing still hadnât come over. She probably couldnât come.
The old lady was just thinking about whether she should let Daniu make a trip over to take a look when she heard Zhang Shu and Daya come over and say that they were going back.
The old lady was stunned, âDidnât I tell you to stay over today? Your second sister has just been found, donât you want to have a good chat with her?â
Daya wanted to, butâŠ
She held the old ladyâs hand and said with a smile, âI told my mother-in-law that I would go back early. Itâs not good to stay here.â
Shu Yu looked at Zhang Shu, who was just looking on innocently but did not say anything.
