Shen Yunshu helped Daya wipe the tears from her face and said seriously:
"Daya, I can only help you temporarily, but I can't help you forever. The one who can truly save you from this sea of suffering is you. If you've made up your mind, I'll help you break off ties with that family. I'll give you a new name and send you somewhere else to learn to read and write, so you can completely get away from here and live the life you want."
Daya said without any hesitation: "...Sister-in-law...I am willing..."
Daya was too lazy to spend money, so she was discharged from the hospital after three days, and Shen Yunshu took her back to his home.
Before coming, Shen Yunshu contacted her family in advance, saying that Daya would stay at home for a few days. Mother Gu made a bed for Daya in the room where she and Grandma Gu slept.
Shen Yunshu picked out a few clothes that she wore before she got pregnant and asked Daya to change into them after taking a shower.
Daya is too thin. Her trouser legs are empty and wind can get in at any time. Her trouser waist is also too big and her trousers will fall down after she takes a few steps.
Mother Gu looked at the frail Daya, her eyes red with heartache. She asked Daya to take off her pants and sat in front of the sewing machine to alter the legs and waist of the pants again and again.
Daya was still a little unaccustomed to wearing new clothes. She was afraid of getting them dirty, and her little hands were nervous and at a loss. But when she saw Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Gu busy making dinner in the kitchen, she rolled up her sleeves to help without saying a word.
Grandpa Shen felt sorry for Daya: "Daya, we are here, go back to the house and rest, and let your sister-in-law make you a bowl of brown sugar water."
Daya shook her head: "Grandpa, I'm not thirsty."
After that, Daya stopped talking and buried her head in her work, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking, making cornmeal pancakes... Her hands and feet were so nimble as if she had been cooking for many years.
Daya is only fifteen years old this year. When she was less than five years old, she could not reach the stove, so she stood on a stool and learned to cook and wash clothes for the family.
When she grew up, she had to work in the fields to earn work points and take care of all the housework at home. Daya was famous for her diligence and ability in the team. Many people wanted to marry her home, but no one dared to propose marriage.
First, Li Dazhuang and his wife are lazy and greedy. If they become relatives with such people, they will be angry to death sooner or later. Second, the betrothal gift required by the Li family is too high and not something that ordinary people can afford.
After a few interactions, the lame bachelor from the next brigade took advantage of her. The reason he offered such a high dowry was that he wanted to marry Daya and take her home to take care of him.
Grandma Gu looked through the crack in the door at Daya who was busy working in front of the coal stove and said, "This girl is a good girl, but good people don't have good luck. It's a pity that she has such unkind parents."
Shen Yunshu said: "What happened before is all in the past. It is better for Daya to live a good life in the future. The beastly parents of the Li family will definitely regret it in the future."
Grandma Gu came back to her senses and looked at her granddaughter-in-law, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside: "Shushu, how do you want to help that girl?"
"Change her name, sever ties with the Li family, and send her back to the brigade to study."
This idea was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. In their view, Daya's family was like a bomb that might explode at any time. The only solution was to send Daya far away so that the Li family could never find her again.
At the dinner table.
Seeing that Daya was concentrating on drinking porridge without picking up any vegetables, Shen Yunshu used clean chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork for Daya and stuffed two corn cakes into her hands.
"Daya, don't be polite with us. Eat and drink as you please. The most important thing for you right now is to take care of your health. Do you understand?"
"Thank you, sister-in-law." After saying that, Daya chewed the pancake in small bites. It was obviously an ordinary two-grain pancake, but Daya ate it happily.
In her fifteen years of life, even eating a two-grain flour pancake at home was a luxury.
She felt resentful and resentful. They had the same parents, so why did they favor her brother over her?
Just because she was a girl, she was born an unwanted existence, otherwise they would not have thrown her into the urine bucket and tried to drown her as soon as she was born.
But that's all in the past. Daya doesn't want to mention those painful memories anymore. She wants to look forward.
She must work hard to live a decent life so that she can repay those who have helped her in the future.
After dinner, Daya took the dishes to the kitchen to wash without saying a word. Everyone could see that Daya would feel better by doing so, so they stopped stopping her from working.
"Gu Jiuyan, you sleep with grandpa and the others tonight, and Daya and I will sleep." After saying that, Shen Yunshu stuffed a pillow into Gu Jiuyan's arms.
Speaking of pillows, Shen Yunshu felt that Gu Jiuyan's pillowcase was a little faded. They had obviously changed the pillowcase together. Gu Jiuyan scrubbed himself clean before going to bed every day, but the pillow under his head always got dirty very quickly.
The half of the bed sheet he slept on also got dirty very quickly, so the pillowcases, quilt cover and bed sheet had to be changed every week.
Gu Jiuyan, who had not eaten meat for several days, originally thought that his wife would have a big meal when she came home today, but he didn't expect that she would go hungry again. He felt very aggrieved, but he also knew to take the opportunity to put forward conditions.
"Wife, on page 38 of that book, I..."
The blush on Shen Yunshu's face instantly spread to the tips of her ears. The dog man had begged her for a long time before, but she didn't agree.
It really is...
Gu Jiuyan loved her blushing face so much that he pressed her against the wall, clearly demanding an answer.
"Wife, please..."
Shen Yunshu couldn't resist Gu Jiuyan's coquettish behavior: "Okay, okay, I agree."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Gu Jiuyan asked Chen Yunshu for a kiss, then ran to another yard with a pillow in his arms to sleep.
Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Shen expressed their warm welcome to Gu Jiuyan. So, in the following time, Gu Jiuyan was forced to be a spectator and watched Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Shen play chess for two hours.
Unfortunately, the two of them are terrible at chess. Not only do they often regret their moves, but they also quarrel all the time.
Gu Jiuyan hugged the pillow with his wife's body fragrance and wanted to roll back to sleep.
Little Boss and the other kids hadn't eaten since five o'clock, so before going to bed, Shen Yunshu made some milk powder for them.
Not long after the little ones had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Yunshu smelled a foul odor spreading in the air, and she subconsciously looked towards the little ones on the bed.
Little Lao Si was grinning at her foolishly.
If nothing unexpected happened, it was the little fourth child who had pooped. Shen Yunshu went forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was the little fourth child who had pooped smelly poop.
"Sister-in-law, let me do it."
Daya came forward and cleaned up the little one quickly and quickly, and changed the diaper and pad under his butt into a clean one.
It’s far more than that. Daya took the diapers and changing pads that the fourth child had changed outside to wash them before returning to the house.
