Chapter 619 The Second Young Lady is Dying
Daya ladled a bowl of soup for her, placed it in front of her, and said with a smile, "Everything is fine. I came here just to see you. My parents originally wanted to come too, but they were afraid that making a big fuss would be too much, so they decided to postpone their visit."
Now that Shuyu is here, with the old lady and the others taking care of her, Lu Erbai and Ruan can feel more at ease.
Their priority now is to make money so that Shuyu can eat better.
Shu Yu listened quietly to their lives after they came to the county town, and couldn't help but sigh at the vastly different attitudes towards life between the Lu family and the Shu family.
See how important it is for this family to work together as one?
Just as Shu Yu was thinking of the Shu family, she saw the old lady come over with a bowl and say to her, "Take this to Aunt Hou and the Sixth Miss."
Today, we slaughtered two chickens at home. The portions were generous, and the old lady stewed them all, leaving a bowl for Aunt Hou and the others.
If they don't have any at home, that's fine, but if they do, it's okay to let them improve their meals.
Shu Yu stood up briskly. "Okay, I'll go first."
Daya accompanied her, and the two walked and talked, soon arriving at the Shu family's door.
The Shu family was arguing endlessly about what to cook for dinner.
Shu Yu was already used to this. She was about to push open the courtyard gate when she suddenly overheard someone in the midst of the argument say, "Our room is for the Second Miss to recuperate in. Why don't you move to the right wing? Let Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss leave."
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. What's wrong? Now that she's not here, they're starting to covet the right wing again?
With a "bang," Shu Yu pushed open the courtyard gate.
The Shu family members, who were talking, all turned around and fell silent upon seeing Shu Yu and Da Ya.
They are now very wary of Shu Yu. They were somewhat surprised when they didn't see her in the wasteland today. But when they heard that she had gone hunting, the Shu family members were very gloating. They thought that she didn't know her own limitations. With her mediocre skills, how dare she go into the mountains? She probably wouldn't even know how she died.
That's why I had the idea of changing rooms just now.
Who knew, people just don't respond to being talked about; after only a couple of words, she came.
Shu Yu glanced at them and began to call them Aunt Hou.
The sixth sister ran out of the kitchen and her eyes lit up when she saw Shuyu. "Sister Shuyu!"
Shu Yu handed over the covered bowl she was holding. "I went hunting in the mountains today and caught a big roe deer and a pheasant. I brought some over for you. Haven't eaten yet?"
"Not yet, we just finished making dinner." The sixth girl was overjoyed and quickly led the two of them in after taking the bowl.
The rest of the Shu family stared wide-eyed. They'd hunted a roe deer, and... a pheasant too?
They were incredibly jealous, and when they saw the bowl of meat in the sixth girl's hand, their mouths watered uncontrollably.
Shu Yu followed the sixth young lady into the right wing. A short while later, Aunt Hou also brought in dinner.
The four of them closed the door behind them, shutting out the Shu family's view.
Shu Yu then introduced Da Ya's identity, "This is my eldest sister."
Daya nodded to Aunt Hou and the Sixth Miss, exchanged a few polite words, and then Shuyu inquired about the Second Miss's situation.
Aunt Hou shook her head. "It's getting worse and worse. I think it'll only last for the next couple of days. Besides, there's no one to take care of her in this house. She can barely even get a drink of water. Moreover, the Shu family members only get a limited amount of work each day, and the food they get is so meager that they'd be lucky to get even half a steamed bun for her."
