Chapter 8 Sanya Eats Candy

The little girl in front of me had a small scar on her face, but it seemed she hadn't treated it much. If it were properly repaired, it would be easy to heal.

Shu Yu helped the woman up and asked, "What's your name? Is your father named Lu Erbai?"

The little girl nodded blankly, still thinking about what she had said.

After a moment, she realized what was happening and hurriedly whispered, "I, my name is Sanya."

"Sanya, can you take me to your house?" Shuyu picked up the basket on the ground.

Sanya immediately went to get it, saying, "I'll carry it."

"No need, I can walk faster with it." If there are no surprises, this is probably his younger sister.

Sanya wanted to take it, but when she saw her dirty little hands and Shuyu's clean and tidy clothes, she withdrew her hand in the end.

Shu Yu handed a piece of candy to the child who had been shown to her earlier. As for the others, given their pathetic state just now, they didn't even get half a piece.

The child jumped for joy, stuffed the candy into his mouth without saying a word, and then sighed contentedly, "Delicious."

The other children looked at him with envy, all of them focusing their eager gazes on Shuyu.

Even Sanya couldn't help but stare when she saw the candy in the child's mouth.

Shu Yu handed her one too. San Ya was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and hurried home, saying, "I, I'll take you to my house now."

Shu Yu smiled; the young girl was quite resistant to temptation.

She followed behind, and Sanya walked quite a distance before suddenly remembering to ask, "Sister, what are you doing at my house? Do you know my father?"

Her voice was soft and low, as if asking this question would make her angry. After asking, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

Shu Yu, carrying pig feed in one hand and snacks and meat in the other, replied, "Your father helped me before. I just found out where he lives, so I came to see him."

Sanya said "Oh," looked up at her again, and before she knew it, she fell to the ground with a "thud."

Shu Yu frowned; this child was falling down far too easily.

There are many reasons why a child falls, but judging from Sanya's condition, it is most likely due to malnutrition and calcium deficiency.

Sanya seemed used to it, skillfully getting up and saying in a slightly panicked voice, "I'm sorry."

Why are you apologizing to me?

Sanya was stunned. Yes, why apologize?

Perhaps she's gotten used to it; the three words she says most often are "I'm sorry."

Shu Yu couldn't help but think of herself as a child, when she often apologized to Aunt Xue. In fact, when she saw San Ya just now, she was certain of her true parentage.

Xiao Shuyu looks exactly like Sanya now. Back then, she was also hungry and cold, thin and weak, just like a replica of Sanya.

Looking at Sanya in front of him, Shuyu couldn't bring herself to harden her heart.

Even if she was really sold by her biological parents when she was a child, it has nothing to do with this little girl.

Shu Yu stuffed the maltose directly into her mouth. The little girl stared wide-eyed in disbelief, the sweetness in her mouth making her feel as if she were dreaming.

Before she could say anything, Shu Yu quickly said, "Don't let it fall out, or it will be a waste."

Sanya quickly covered her mouth, her big, round eyes widening. After a moment, the corners of her eyes curved slightly, and her eyebrows revealed joy, "...So sweet."

Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh. "Let's go, lead the way."
