Shu Yu smiled embarrassedly. "I want to know, where can we get water to drink in our Righteous Dao Village?"
"Oh, this." The woman suddenly understood. "Didnât you see a river when you entered the village? We usually get water from this river."
Shu Yu was even more embarrassed. "I didnât notice. We just arrived and Master Lan had just finished his lecture. I was very nervous and didnât dare to look around. I just lowered my head and followed the old woman who led the way. I didnât even notice where there was water or land."
The woman nodded. "Thatâs true. Youâve just arrived, so itâs inevitable that you donât know what to do."
"Yeah, I still have to work tomorrow. I donât know if the guards will be very strict. Iâm still feeling uneasy."
The woman smiled and said, "Then you donât have to be nervous. I also want you to do more things. As long as you donât cause any trouble and do your job well, there wonât be any problems. Most importantly, donât complain about being hungry or tired."
"Is that so? Then I feel much more at ease. Other than not shouting that Iâm tired or hungry, are there any other taboos? Then, does it mean that all you have to do is shovel the ground with a hoe?"
Shu Yu had a look of ignorance and humbly asked for advice, greatly satisfying the womanâs desire to teach.
The two of them chatted back and forth.
The man and child in the womanâs house were waiting for her to eat. In the end, they saw that she did not return for a long time. It was very strange.
The man instructed his daughter, "Pingning, go and see who your Mother is talking to. Why isnât she back yet?"
"Alright, Father." Pingning stood up and walked towards the courtyard entrance.
Before she even got close, she heard her Motherâs rare giggles.
Pingning stopped in her tracks, a little surprised.
In this Righteous Dao Village, everyoneâs life was very hard. They had heavy work every day. When they returned home after a tiring day, they did not have much desire to talk.
Even though her family was living well now, it was probably a habit that had formed in the past few years. They rarely talked and laughed so brazenly.
Who did her Mother meet to be so energetic?
As she thought about it, Pingning finally saw Shu Yu standing outside their courtyard.
She was stunned. "Mother, this is..."
The woman turned around and immediately beckoned her over. "Oh, itâs Pingning. This is Miss Shu Yu. She just arrived at the Righteous Dao Village today."
Shu Yu nodded at Pingning. "Miss Zhang."
The womanâs husbandâs surname was Zhang. Shu Yu already knew.
Zhang Pingning nodded. She turned around and wanted to talk to Aunt Zhang and ask her to go back for dinner.
Unexpectedly, she felt a very strong gaze from the corner of her eye. She was slightly stunned and looked at Shu Yu.
Then, she realized that Shu Yuâs eyes were focused on her face--the scar on her left cheek.
Zhang Pingning frowned. She didnât care about the scar. After all, it was already good enough to survive here. It was just a scar on her face. It was more important to eat than to have a scar.
However, it was one thing for her to not care about it, but it was another thing for others to stare at this scar.
Zhang Pingningâs expression turned cold. Even Aunt Zhang felt that something was wrong and frowned slightly.
Shu Yu seemed to have finally noticed that they were not very happy. She immediately explained, "Aunt Zhang, Miss Zhang, donât misunderstand. I donât have any ill intentions. I just want to see if the scar on Miss Zhangâs face is serious and if it can be removed."
