Chapter 26 Old Lady Ruan

This kneeling was so real that even Shu Yu, who was standing at the door, was taken aback.

The other villagers were even more startled and began to whisper among themselves, "Is this really Lu Lao Er's second daughter?"

"I think so? Seeing that old woman from the Ruan family crying like that, it seems like she really regrets it."

"That old woman from the Ruan family is heartless. She's not good to Erbai's wife either. Would she really go to such lengths to help her find her daughter?"

"What else can she do? She has no reason to lie to Erbai's wife about something like this. Given Erbai's family situation, what good would it do her to lie?"

Everyone thought about it and agreed. Why would that old woman from the Ruan family lie to her?

Some villagers asked Lu Laosan and his wife, who were watching the commotion, "Sanzhu, what do you think?"

Lu Sanzhu glanced at the courtyard and chuckled, "How can I tell? My poor niece died when she was little, more than ten years ago. Who knows what she looks like now? I can't tell, but my second sister-in-law can surely recognize her own daughter, right?"

The villagers nodded. "That's right, surely Erbai's wife knows what marks Erya has?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Granny Ruan lifted the girl's arm and said to Ruan Shi, "My child, look, look at her arm. Aren't these two moles exactly the same as when she was little? This child has suffered a lot outside. Look how thin she is, it's so pitiful."

When Madam Ruan saw the girl's arm, her eyes widened suddenly. She quickly grabbed the girl, who had already been helped up by Granny Ruan, and asked in a trembling voice, "You, you are really Er Ya?"

The girl nodded, crying as she spoke, "Mother, Er Ya has missed you so much. I've been wandering outside all these years. I've always wondered where my parents are, why they haven't found me yet. I really want to go home. There's thunder and rain outside, and so many bad people. They bully me, beat me, and don't give me food. I'm so hungry I can't stand it, so I just drink water to fill my stomach. I have nowhere to sleep, so I huddle under the bridge. It's truly a situation where I can't get help from anyone."

"No, stop talking." Madam Ruan couldn't bear it. She thought about this scene day and night, and it was making her heart bleed.

Seeing this, the girl quickly grabbed her, "Okay, I won't say anything, Mom, I won't say anything. I'm going home now, our whole family is reunited, I have a father and mother and a home now, I'm not all alone anymore."

Granny Ruan nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right. Seeing you and your daughter reunited makes me feel much better."

Supported by the two men on either side, Ruan's head was throbbing and her mind was in turmoil.

With neither Lu Erbai nor the old lady present, she was no match for Granny Ruan. The two of them kept talking, giving her no chance to speak. Several questions she had in mind were all interrupted by Granny Ruan.

Granny Ruan ran up to Da Hu and San Ya, looking at them with a kind expression. She held two candies that had been sitting for who knows how long, and said with a smile, "Da Hu, San Ya, your second sister has been found! Aren't you happy? Here, this is candy that Grandma prepared for you to sweeten your mouths."

The twins looked at each other, then couldn't help but take a step back.

A fleeting hint of displeasure crossed Granny Ruan's face, but she quickly forced a smile, "Here you go, Grandma bought this especially for you. Have some."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the candy in his hand was suddenly slammed to the ground.

Granny Ruan said angrily, "Who is so ungrateful?"

When she looked up, she met Shu Yu's icy gaze.
