Chapter 633 I Want to Apologize to You
Hou glanced at Shu Yu with a slightly complicated expression. In fact, when she learned yesterday that Aunt Xue had been beaten with a sack over her head, she was the first person she suspected.
But then she thought again, something didn't make sense. When Shu Yu beat up the Shu family members, she always did it openly and honestly in front of everyone. It was no secret that she had been abused by Aunt Xue since childhood, and the two sides had a deep-seated hatred for each other. Why would she need to put a sack over her head to beat her up?
Besides, Aunt Xue's enemies weren't limited to Shu Yu alone.
While working in the wasteland, she offended the prisoners in her team. They complained that she was slow and didn't do a good job, which dragged them down, and they even exchanged a few insults.
Just a couple of days ago, Aunt Xue bumped into a woman on the street, and the two almost got into a fight.
Although they haven't been in Zhengdao Village for long, Aunt Xue has already offended quite a few people.
Moreover, there's the Shu family involved. While the likelihood of the Shu family making a move is small, it's not impossible, right?
Now, seeing the astonished expression on Shu Yu's face, Aunt Hou was even more certain that it wasn't her.
She coughed lightly before explaining in a low voice, "Last night, when Aunt Xue went out to collect firewood, she was beaten up with a sack over her head. On her way back, she tripped and fell while being carried by the Shu family, breaking her arm. So, since she's also sick, the Shu family put her in the woodshed with the second young lady."
During the day, Aunt Xue had fallen asleep. She had been beaten and hadn't eaten, so she had nothing to do but sleep. When she woke up, she got up to use the outhouse. On her way back, as she passed the wooden plank bed next to the Second Miss, she saw her staring at her with an exceptionally eerie expression.
She called out twice, only to find that the person was already dead.
Shu Yu, "..."
ha??
They put him in a sack and beat him up? His hand was broken?
Shu Yu felt speechless. "Who could possibly have such a deep grudge against her that they would put a sack over her head and beat her up last night..."
She was speaking when, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice abruptly stopped.
Aunt Hou asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Shu Yu came back to her senses and glanced at Aunt Xue in the woodshed.
Aunt Xue, who was unable to work, was clearly treated the same as the Second Miss.
Not only did she live in the woodshed, but she could only eat half a steamed bun at a time. However, she had one advantage over the second young lady: her injuries could heal with rest.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Aunt Xue turn her hateful gaze over, her eyes seeming as if she wanted to devour her.
Shu Yu chuckled and turned to Aunt Hou, saying, "Alright, I should go back now. You all have dinner first."
Actually, there's no need to eat. Aunt Hou and Sixth Miss just went to the Lu family and had two steamed buns, which is enough. Even if it wasn't enough, the death in the family has affected their appetite, so they can't eat much.
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she turned and left.
The sixth young lady paused for a moment, then quickly said to Aunt Hou, "I, I'll go see her off."
Aunt Hou was stunned for a moment, looking at her daughter's retreating figure with some curiosity. Why send her anything?
The sixth girl quickly caught up with Shu Yu and followed her out of the courtyard.
After taking a few steps forward, Shu Yu stopped and turned her head to ask her in a puzzled tone, "Do you have something to tell me?"
The sixth girl swallowed hard and nodded slightly. "I want to apologize to you."
"Apologize for what?"
