Chapter 569 Delivering Food
Aunt Zhang and her daughter were both stunned. Remove it?
Shu Yu explained, "I came from Dong'an Prefecture. Before I came here, there was a very popular scar-removing ointment in our prefecture. The ointment is very effective. I have personally seen people with scars on their faces use it and the scars faded."
A slight change finally appeared on Zhang Pingning's face. Of course, it would be best if the scars on her face could be removed.
But she quickly calmed down. "Those kinds of things must be very expensive." They can't afford them right now.
Shu Yu said, "It is indeed very expensive, but I happen to have two bottles on hand, which were given to me by someone. However, the scar removal cream is still in Dong'an Prefecture, and I cannot bring it over. But, if Miss Zhang can wait a while, I can write to Dong'an Prefecture and ask someone to send it over."
She sighed as she spoke, "That's right, I've only just arrived, and if I write a letter now, it probably won't get sent. It will probably take at least a month or two."
Aunt Zhang immediately said, "No rush, no rush. If there really is such a scar removal cream, we're willing to wait as long as it takes. It's just that we don't have much money, so..."
“It’s alright, I don’t want the money. I’m just new here and I want to get along well with the neighbors. I thought Aunt Zhang was kind and easy to talk to, so I brought this up.”
Aunt Zhang was immediately delighted. This girl was an honest person, and she clearly told them that she just wanted to test the waters and have more people help her in an unfamiliar place.
No problem, Aunt Zhang didn't object.
Even Zhang Pingning, who was originally very wary, softened his expression after hearing this.
Thinking that the scars on her face could be removed in the future, she was still quite excited and couldn't help but ask Shu Yu a few more questions.
Inside the house, Zhang's father was puzzled. Why did one of them go and not come back, and why did the other go and not come back either?
Mr. Zhang couldn't help but get up and go out, squinting as he called to them, "Do you still want to have dinner?"
Aunt Zhang and Zhang Pingning immediately fell silent, looking at Shu Yu with slight embarrassment.
Shu Yu rubbed her forehead. "Look at me, I've been going on and on, and I've even made Auntie eat. You guys go back, I have to go fetch water too, it's getting dark, and it's not safe to fetch water later."
With that, Shu Yu turned to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, Aunt Zhang grabbed him.
Shu Yu was taken aback. "What's wrong with Auntie?"
"Miss Shuyu has just arrived, there probably isn't much to eat, right?"
Shu Yu: "Well... there really aren't any. I was originally thinking of going to the foot of the mountain to see if there were any wild vegetables or anything. My house is right at the foot of the mountain, so it's close by."
"Silly girl, it's getting dark. It's too dangerous for you to go into the mountains alone. Wait here, Auntie will get you some food."
"Huh? No need, I'm here..."
Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Zhang had already pulled Zhang Pingning around and led her into the house.
A short while later, she came out with a few ears of corn, a cut pumpkin, and a small handful of dried sweet potatoes.
"There's not much good food at my house, so this is all I can give you. Please don't mind."
"This, this is too much, I can't accept it."
"Take it." Aunt Zhang pressed her hand down. "I know the rules. People who come on the first day don't get any food. You'll all go hungry. You still have to work tomorrow, so eat something so you don't get sick from overwork." She was still counting on her scar removal cream.
