Chapter 105 Lu Yizhou, are you really blind?
Startled for a moment, Shi Yu turned her head to look.
It's Xu Manyu.
At this moment, she walked over quickly with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face that clearly carried a hint of provocation.
Behind her followed Lu Yizhou.
Shi Yu's gaze met Lu Yizhou's for a moment, then she looked away.
Xu Manyu came up to her.
To be honest, she doesn't like eating chestnuts.
But if Shi Yu wants it, that's a different story.
She just wants to steal what she's set her sights on!
"How much are the chestnuts?" Xu Manyu asked the old woman.
"Eight mao in total."
"Okay, I'll buy it."
“This…” The old woman hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Shi Yu.
“I was here first,” Shi Yu said to Xu Manyu.
"So what?" Xu Manyu raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of smug satisfaction. "I asked for it before you could."
Even if we're talking about who came first, I was first!
Xu Manyu did this on purpose; how could Shi Yu not see through it?
This made Shi Yu very unhappy.
"Forget it, Yu Yu, let's not buy it." To avoid conflict, Huang Ying quickly reached out and pulled Shi Yu, trying to drag her away.
But who knew...
But Shi Yu rejected him.
She suddenly stepped forward.
With narrowed eyes, Shi Yu stared coldly at the ill-intentioned Xu Manyu, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became heavy.
Xu Manyu was startled.
She immediately turned pale and hid behind Lu Yizhou like a frightened little rabbit.
They wanted to seek his protection.
Lu Yizhou didn't notice Xu Manyu's little actions at all; his deep gaze remained fixed on Shi Yu.
His pupils narrowed.
Seeing the two sides locked in a stalemate, the old woman felt a chill run down her spine.
She dares not offend anyone, what should she do?
Just as she was worrying, the old woman's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Yizhou.
She hurriedly asked for help, "Yizhou! I don't know who to sell it to. Can you help me make a decision?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shi Yu's attention shifted to Lu Yizhou.
He narrowed his eyes subtly.
At this moment, she also wanted to see who Lu Yizhou would choose.
"Shi Yu, do you really want these chestnuts?" Lu Yizhou's deep, husky voice suddenly broke the silence.
Shi Yu felt disgusted by Lu Yizhou's rhetorical question.
"yes!"
The simple word sounded stiff, but to Lu Yizhou, it was misunderstood as anxious impatience.
Lu Yizhou frowned.
He remembered that Lin Zhicheng liked to eat chestnuts.
He's going to the island tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Lu Yizhou's eyes unconsciously darkened.
"Brother Yizhou!" Xu Manyu glared at Shi Yu, then her expression changed to pitiful. She deliberately moved closer to Lu Yizhou, "I really want to eat these chestnuts."
"Could you ask this older woman to sell it to me?"
"You promised my aunt and my mother that you would take good care of me."
Fearing that Lu Yizhou would disagree, Xu Manyu quickly added another sentence.
In an attempt to sow discord between Shi Yu and Lu Yizhou, Xu Manyu practically leaned half her body into Lu Yizhou's arms.
The sound was also soft.
So Shi Yu didn't hear what she said at all; she only saw the two behaving intimately.
Immediately, an uncomfortable feeling spread through my heart.
It's hard to explain, hard to define.
Lu Yizhou gave Shi Yu a deep look.
Then, he walked up to the old woman and pulled out eighty cents from his pocket, saying, "Sell it to me!"
"Okay, okay!"
The old woman quickly packed the chestnuts.
At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yizhou has a unique voice on the island, and now that he's spoken, everyone's happy!
"Brother Yizhou, thank you!" Lu Yizhou had just taken the chestnuts from the old woman and hadn't even warmed them yet when Xu Manyu snatched them away. "I knew it, you love me the most."
"Hmm..."
"These chestnuts are delicious!"
To provoke Shi Yu, Xu Manyu couldn't wait to grab a chestnut and put it in her mouth.
They chewed it with a crunching sound.
"Oh!"
Shi Yu smiled.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Shi Yu smiled beautifully, yet her smile was also cold.
History always repeats itself.
Lin Zhicheng was completely infatuated with Shi Jiaojiao back then, and now, Lu Yizhou is just as infatuated...
In this choice between two options, she is always the wrong answer that is never chosen.
"Mother, let's go!"
Having suppressed all her negative emotions, Shi Yu didn't even glance at Lu Yizhou again, and pulled Huang Ying away.
...
After dinner, Shi Yu noticed Huang Ying sitting on the doorstep, lost in thought.
Her forlorn gaze fell into the distance.
Slowly, her eyes welled up with tears.
The person seems to be trapped in some kind of pain, in bad memories.
After thinking it over carefully, Shi Yu suddenly realized the special significance of chestnuts to Huang Ying.
When Huang Ying was a child, her family was poor. One year, Huang Ying had a high fever that wouldn't go down. She was on the verge of death and, in her delirium, she just wanted to eat some chestnuts.
My grandmother had difficulty walking at the time, but she still went up the mountain.
Who knew...
This departure became a final farewell.
When the five chestnuts were placed in front of Huang Ying, they were covered in blood.
Grandma passed away because she fell and hit the back of her head...
This incident became a permanent wound in Huang Ying's heart.
Mother misses Grandma.
Shi Yu pursed her lips and walked out of the house.
She didn't go to Xu Manyu herself, but asked Aunt Pang to ask the Lu family what Xu Manyu wanted in return for giving her the chestnuts.
Let her name her condition.
Soon, Aunt Fat returned.
She gritted her teeth indignantly, "That woman surnamed Xu said she doesn't want money, she just wants you to collect a bottle of morning dew for her first thing tomorrow morning, and then you can exchange it for her."
"Don't you think she's obviously trying to mess with someone on purpose?"
"Collecting morning dew requires getting up before the sun comes out. Not only will you get your shoes and socks wet, but that's when there are the most mosquitoes, and you might even find snakes."
"It's nothing!" Shi Yu wasn't angry.
She has the ability to control animals, so collecting morning dew isn't too difficult for her.
"I'll go up the mountain first thing tomorrow morning. No matter what, I'll get chestnuts for my mother."
Seeing Shi Yu's unwavering devotion as a mother, Aunt Pang's eyes reddened.
She used to be from Chang'an Village too.
Therefore, he naturally knew about Huang Ying's past.
"Good child, you are the most filial. Your mother is so lucky to have you as her daughter." Aunt Pang patted Shi Yu's shoulder heavily.
At the same time, she also felt a little dissatisfied with Lu Yizhou.
What's wrong with this kid?
He's practically the smartest and most capable man on this island, if not the most intelligent.
Why did they choose that Xu Manyu?
Have you gone blind?
After exchanging a few more words with Aunt Pang, Shi Yu turned and walked out.
At this moment, Shi Daqiang, who was hiding at the entrance of the convenience store, quickly hid behind him.
He was so excited that his hands were shaking.
He had already decided that he would take drastic measures against Huang Ying first thing tomorrow morning, before everyone else had gotten up.
But sometimes, with fish around, it's impossible to carry out one's plans.
He was just wondering how to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
That's good now.
Before dawn tomorrow, Yu will be going up the mountain to collect some damn dew. It's safe to say that even the heavens are taking pity on him this time and are ready to help him out.
