Chapter 328 Anxious Little Zhen

Zhao Xi left, and Shu Yu watched his retreating figure, thinking of her conversation with Daya that night, but ultimately did not call out to him.

She staggered home carrying the medicine. With two more children in the house, plus Da Bao and Bao Ya who had come with Liang Shi, it was incredibly lively.

Ruan did not go to the tailor shop today. The old lady is too old, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to take care of her, so she stayed with her for half a day.

As soon as Shu Yu returned, she took the medicine packet and began to decoct the medicine.

Shu Yu held Quan Quan in her arms. The little guy was very light. He hadn't been very energetic yesterday, but now he was trying hard to stand up.

As the old lady sewed the doll cover, she said, "Yesterday was truly terrifying. This little one was premature, and it's only thanks to your aunt and uncle's good care that he doesn't look sickly. But he's still small. Most children his age can already walk, but he can't even stand up and is prone to illness. I was really afraid he wouldn't make it yesterday..."

Liang chimed in from the side, "That's right, what would happen to my sister-in-law if something really happened?"

"Alright, shut up."

Madam Liang raised her head and blinked. What had she said wrong this time?

It was clearly the old lady who started it, so it's as if only she can say these things, and I can't?

Shu Yu smiled, picked up Quan Quan and walked around the yard, looking at the chickens and vegetables. The little guy was overjoyed.

Xiao Zhen followed closely behind, afraid that Shu Yu would get tired of carrying the baby, and wanted to take over.

Shu Yu glanced back at the little girl, Xiao Zhen, who looked anxious and uneasy. Her parents had an accident, and she was now living at her second uncle's house. Although her maternal grandmother doted on her, she was old enough to understand that this was called... living under someone else's roof, so she didn't dare to cause any trouble for others, especially after her younger brother had made a fuss for most of the night last night.

Shu Yu squatted down, holding Quan Quan, and looked at her with a smile, "Why aren't you playing with San Ya and Bao Ya?"

"I need to take care of my younger brother."

"No need, I'll take care of your little brother. You go play. Didn't Sanya give you a doll yesterday? Don't you like it?"

"I like it," Xiao Zhen said quickly. "I like it so much."

She slept with it all night.

Shu Yu knew she was uneasy, so after thinking for a moment, she simply said, "If you really want to do something, how about this, could you turn over those scraps of cloth on the shelf and let them air out in the sun?"

Xiao Zhen's eyes lit up. "Okay."

She ran off to rummage through the scraps of cloth, and Sanya looked up and saw her, so she quickly ran over to help.

Actually, she was just helping out with chores from the beginning. Sanya was used to doing chores. Back in Shangshi Village, she had to cut pig feed and collect firewood. After coming to the county town, she would occasionally lend a hand to her grandmother.

But now that Baoya is here, her third aunt asked her to help take care of Baoya, so Sanya can only take care of the child.

Seeing Xiao Zhen busy, she couldn't play anymore. Since Bao Ya and Zhao Cai were already familiar with each other, she let them play by themselves and ran off to rummage through the scraps of cloth with Xiao Zhen.

Shu Yu smiled and, seeing that Ruan Shi had finished decocting the medicine, quickly picked up the little one and went to feed him.

After observing for a day, it was confirmed that Quan Quan was indeed fine, and the old lady was relieved.

When Lu Sanzhu came over for dinner again that evening, the old lady was full of energy and ready to start scolding him.

This couple is shameless. It's one thing to freeload for a day or two, but are they planning to have dinner here every day?
