Chapter 570 Friendly Neighbors
Shu Yu could only reluctantly accept it, saying, "Then, thank you very much, Auntie. I will definitely pay you back when I have the money."
"No need to be so polite."
As they were talking, Zhang Pingning arrived, carrying a handful of fresh, green vegetables that she had just picked from the yard.
In addition, there was a small piece of salt.
Zhang Pingning then shoved both items into Shu Yu's hands, saying, "Take them."
Shu Yu looked down and took a deep breath. "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, Miss Zhang."
"Alright, go back now and get some rest. If anything comes up, come talk to your auntie."
"good."
Shu Yu smiled and thanked him again before turning around, carrying the grain, and walking towards his own yard.
Indeed, we are all friendly neighbors.
After Shu Yu left, Aunt Zhang and Zhang Pingning went back to eat. Seeing this, Zhang's father looked on in astonishment at the mother and daughter, "When...when did you become so kind? This grain is such a precious thing, and you just give it away like that?"
She can get into an argument with someone if they come over and pick a scallion.
Aunt Zhang glanced at him sideways and said, "You don't understand. That Miss Shu is the one who can help your daughter remove the scars on her face in the future."
As she spoke, she repeated what Shu Yu had said to Zhang's father.
Mr. Zhang looked unconvinced. "You believe that? She said we have to wait. Who knows when that will be? Even if she does write a letter later and says the letter is lost or the things are missing, can we expect her to get the food she ate back?"
Aunt Zhang snorted, "I'm not stupid. I have sharp eyes. Do you think I can't tell if Miss Shu is lying? Besides, even if that scar removal cream is just an excuse, it's no big deal for neighbors to lend a hand. If someone had helped us like this when we first came to Zhengdao Village, our little girl wouldn't be in this situation..."
Knowing that she was thinking about something sad, Zhang's father quickly stopped her and didn't ask any more questions.
He sighed. "Alright, let's eat?"
However, Aunt Zhang, who always talked about helping each other as neighbors, turned on the Shu family when they came to ask for food not long after. Without saying a word, she kicked them out and gave them a severe dressing-down.
Zhang's father was speechless for a long time after witnessing such a swift and double-standard behavior.
Shu Yu had already returned home with light steps. As soon as she entered, she saw the Shu family sitting together, talking about something, with a faint sound of arguing mixed in.
Hearing the noise, the Shu family all turned around. When they saw what she was holding, they stared in astonishment, swallowing hard.
Shu Yu ignored them and went straight to the kitchen.
Hou and the sixth daughter had already tidied up the kitchen efficiently. The kitchen did have a stove, and there was even a small pile of firewood in the corner.
The pot was a bit dirty, but Madam Hou had already fetched water and cleaned it.
Although Shu Yu told Aunt Zhang that she didn't know where to get water, everyone actually saw the river when they came over.
Upon seeing Shu Yu return, the Hou family immediately came to greet her.
Immediately afterward, their eyes lit up. "Where...did you get this?"
"I borrowed it from the neighbor," Shu Yu said, glancing at the Fourth Sister who had secretly come over and was eavesdropping.
