Chapter 10: Father and Daughter Meeting
Shu Yu didn't know what to say for a moment. Although they were indeed poor, they couldn't possibly be that poor.
Sanya said, "And my third uncle's house is just across the street. My grandma said that he squats at the village entrance every day, so no one usually comes here."
Her third uncle liked to take advantage of others, so the villagers usually avoided him.
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. As they were talking, there was some commotion outside.
Sanya was overjoyed and slid down from the stool, "It must be my father."
She ran out as she said this. Shu Yu also stood up and walked towards the door.
Before she reached the door, a woman's high-pitched and sharp voice could be heard from outside, "I told you to stay at home, but you didn't listen. Your wife and I are working in the field. What did you come for? Now, great. It's already inconvenient for you to walk, and you even fell again. You don't want your leg anymore, do you? I'm telling you, we don't have any money to send you to see a doctor anymore. Later, when your leg is completely crippled, you can just wait for death at home. I won't care about you anymore."
"Mother, I'm sorry. It's just that I felt much better today and wanted to go help," A man's honest and hoarse voice followed with a deep sense of apology, "I didn't expect to cause you more trouble."
"Help? Help with what? The biggest help you can do for me is to stay at home obediently. I'm really down on my luck to have a nuisance son like you," The old woman's voice grew louder as her words became smoother while she scolded, "You and your wife are really a match made in heaven. One is a nuisance, and the other is a jinx. Both of you are just worrying. I'm already so old, but I still have to take care of you. Look at our village, who's like us..."
She kept on scolding, and Sanya, who had run out to say something, could not find a chance to speak.
When Sanya finally managed to utter a word, the old woman scolded her instead, "Go away. Can't you see that your father has fallen and is in such a poor state? Yet you're still coming over and blocking the way. You're already so big, but you're still so insensible."
The old woman was very fierce, and Sanya was timid. She shrank her neck and said in a low voice, "Grandma, we have a guest."
After she finished speaking, she ran behind her parents and hid.
"Guest? What guest? Our house is already in this state, and even your eldest uncle and third uncle don't come to visit. What guests can we have?" The old woman replied subconsciously. freewebnove(l)
In the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something and slapped her thigh, "Oh my, can it be a debt collector? I was wondering why my eyelids kept twitching today."
Sanya quickly shook her head, "No, no, the big sister said she's here to thank father, not to collect a debt."
"What's there to thank? Is there anything about your father that's worthy of being thanked? Little girl, don't tell me you've been tricked? Where is she? Did you bring her in?"
The old lady glared at Sanya as she spoke, "Why do you dare to bring anyone home?"
Then, she looked up and saw Shu Yu at the entrance of the living room.
Shu Yu met the old woman's eyes. She stood by the entrance, not knowing if she should go out or not.
The old lady's gaze immediately became alert. She was originally supporting Lu Erbai, but now, she stood slightly forward, blocking half of Lu Erbai's body.
Lu Erbai had been scolded by her to the point of silence. He just kept his head down. When he heard Sanya say that there was a guest, he also raised his head and looked at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu was stunned the minute she saw his face clearly.𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝒎
