Chapter 18

Shu Yu couldnt help but touch her eyes and nose. She had never seen Daya before, so she didnt know how similar they were.

However, her appearance when she was young had been very similar to the current Sanya.

No wonder Madame Ruan looked at her with such pa.s.sion and excitement. Her intuition was really accurate.

In the kitchen, Lu Erbai and Madam Ruan were still talking. Lu Erbai obviously hesitated for a moment before saying, Miss Shu She has parents and a home, and it seems like she is living a good life. Even if, Im saying even if shes really Erya, shes definitely living a better life than she would be in our family.

Madam Ruan was stunned, and the couple fell silent at the same time.

After a long time, Madam Ruan sobbed softly, If you put it that way, I, I hope shes Erya. At least it means that shes doing well and hasnt suffered much. I can also feel more at ease.

Lu Erbo patted her shoulder, Alright, stop overthinking it. Go and wipe your face. Lets cook first. Mother should be back soon.

Madam Ruan sniffled and replied with an mm before turning around and busying herself.

Shu Yu let out a breath, stood up, and walked to the courtyard.

The door was suddenly pushed open with a creak. Shu Yu looked up and saw a thin and small figure with the same sallow face, dragging a bundle of firewood with difficulty.

The other party was stunned when he saw her. He turned his head and looked around in shock.

After confirming that this was indeed his home, he asked curiously, Who are you? What are you doing in my house?

You are Dahu? This name didnt match his size at all.

Do you know me?

Shu Yu nodded and went forward to bring in the bundle of firewood the boy was pulling behind him. When she pa.s.sed by him, her sharp eyes saw that his palm had been cut by the rope used to tie the firewood.

This little guy was young and not quite strong, but he was quite ambitious to bring back such a large bundle of firewood.

Dahu was stunned for a moment before quickly running into the house as well.

Shu Yu walked to the corner where the firewood was piled and put the bundle down. Then, she clapped her hands and turned around, only to see Dahu following her and looking at her curiously.

Shu Yu laughed, Whats wrong? Do you think Im a bad person?

Dahus eyes widened and he quickly shook his head, No, no, I, I

He felt nervous for some reason and took a small step back.

In the kitchen, Madam Ruan was cooking while Lu Erbai was helping with the fire.

Hearing the noise outside, Madam Ruan hurriedly came out, Dahu, why are you only back now?

I saw a lot of firewood at the foot of the mountain. I wanted to pick up more, so I came back late, As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Shu Yu. When he saw her looking over, he hurriedly lowered his head and blushed slightly.

Upon seeing this, Madam Ruan immediately said, This is Miss Shu. Shes our guest.

Guest? Dahus eyes widened in shock. Since when did they have such a distinctly dignified guest?

Just as he was wondering, the old ladys scolding voice sounded outside, Third Lu, scram and go back to your house at this instance. Erbai has a guest over today. If you dare to come and cause trouble, Ill lie in your house and youll have to take care of me in the future.

As she spoke, she opened the courtyard door. The old lady came in holding Sanyas hand.

She then turned around and slammed the door shut, blocking the people outside.

Shu Yus eyes were sharp. She saw an angry man at the door. Wasnt he the man she saw at the village entrance?
