Chapter 586 Please invite Shu Yu over
The old lady was shrewd; she could easily see through the old woman's concerns.
"That scar removal cream is quite expensive in Dong'an Prefecture, but I happen to know the doctor who makes the medicine. To tell you the truth, that doctor used the scars on our Sanya's face as a test subject, so he gave us two jars for free."
Aunt Zhang never expected there to be such a connection between them.
Suddenly, she became even more eager to help the old lady find her lost second granddaughter.
She hoped that Shuyu was that girl, so that she could consider it a joyous occasion.
However, even if Shu Yu wasn't the girl, she would still inquire throughout Zhengdao Village to find the poor girl for the old lady.
Thanks to the scar removal cream and Shu Yu, the two seemed to have grown even closer.
The old lady took her leave only after Zhang's eldest son returned.
Zhang Ping'an also helped deliver the water bucket back to the Lu family. He even helped carry two buckets of water to the old lady.
The old lady and Aunt Zhang agreed that she would go to the Zhang family again in the evening, and then she would try to call Shu Yu over so that the two sides could meet.
The old lady was relieved and now she was just looking forward to the evening coming soon.
Shu Yu, on the other side of the wasteland, was unaware that the old lady had already paved the road, waiting for her to return and give her a surprise.
She had been busy all day and thought it was about time to switch to hunting duties the next day.
As evening approached, everyone gradually returned home.
Shu Yu, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the houses on the other side of the mountain seemed to be inhabited.
She wasn't allowed to look too closely before Hou invited her home.
The Zhang family, who had been keeping a close eye on things, quickly sent Zhang Ping'an to fetch the old lady after learning that the people who had cleared the land had returned.
Accompanying the old lady this time were Zhao Xi and Da Hu; in fact, several people from Zhengdao Village came.
Aunt Zhang was very fond of the twins, Da Hu and San Ya. The two children were well-behaved and very polite.
Aunt Zhang asked her son, Zhang Ping'an, to take the two children to play, and then said to the old lady, "Don't worry, the workers have all returned. I'll have Pingning go find Miss Shuyu right now."
"Okay, thank you." The old lady took out the scar removal cream.
Without saying a word, Aunt Zhang immediately called to her daughter, "Pingning, go and see if Miss Shuyu has returned yet? Please invite her to our house."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right now." She also saw the jar of scar removal cream, so she was especially excited.
Shu Yu and the others' courtyard was not far from their home, and Zhang Pingning found it quickly.
Just as I reached the door, I heard Shu Yu's voice coming from around the corner.
"Aunt Xue, why are you stopping me? What, weren't you scared after being beaten last time?"
Zhang Pingning paused, unable to resist stopping to listen to their conversation.
From her perspective, it looked as if Shu Yu was talking to a woman.
Aunt Xue gave Shu Yu a bitter smile. "Let's not be so tense, okay? I know I wasn't good to you before, and I hurt you deeply. But, Yu, I haven't always been bad to you over the past ten years, have I? I've been good to you too. I bought you clothes, held you when you were little, fed you, took you shopping, and helped you when others bullied you. Don't you remember any of that? You can't just remember the bad things."
