Chapter 589: Going Home with Grandma

Finally, the old lady let go of Shu Yu, but she still held her hand tightly and said, "Have you been suffering these days? Look at your hands, they're all calloused." The old lady wasn't deliberately acting. When Shu Yu came home initially, although she could do everything, she always protected her hands well, keeping them clean. When she helped the young misses with their makeup, there was never a feeling of scratching.

But now, in just over a month, her hands were cracked.

The old lady felt a great deal of distress. "From now on, you don't have to be afraid with us around."

Shu Yu smiled. She actually missed them a lot too. Even though she knew they had always been following behind her and were not far from her, she hadn't seen them or spoken to them.

Now that they were reunited, Shu Yu felt completely at ease.

San Ya squatted beside Shu Yu, reached into her sleeve, and pulled out two candies, handing them to Shu Yu. "Second sister, have some candy."

In the past, it was Shu Yu who gave her candy, but now she wanted to give it to Shu Yu, every day.

Shu Yu took them and patted her little head. "Thank you."

San Ya immediately smiled with satisfaction.

As Shu Yu put the candy in her mouth, it felt even sweeter.

The family sat together and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they realized they still needed to have dinner.

Shu Yu and the others couldn't continue to disturb them here, and it was impossible for them to stay for dinner.

So, without making a sound, Shu Yu tugged on the old lady's sleeve. They had already developed a tacit understanding, so the old lady immediately stood up and said, "Look at me, I got so carried away that I forgot the time. I heard that you just finished work, right? Haven't had dinner yet? Come, come, come with me back home. Dinner is ready at home. Whatever you have to say, we can talk after eating. Anyway, we also live here, not far away."

Shu Yu nodded. "Okay."

The old lady then said to the Zhang family, "You've been a great help to us today. If it weren't for all of you, I wouldn't have found my second daughter. There's no need to say too many words of gratitude. Once we settle Shu Yu, we'll come to thank you properly."

Aunt Zhang shook her head repeatedly. "Auntie, you're being too polite. Even if we weren't here, you would have reunited with Shu Yu sooner or later since you're living in this village. There's no need for thanks. We should thank you for the scar removal ointment you gave us."

Shu Yu looked surprised and turned to the old lady. "Grandma, you gave Aunt Zhang the scar removal ointment?"

"Yes, I did. I heard that you had plans to use it before, and we happened to have it. Isn't it fate?" The old lady was very happy and spoke a few more words to the Zhang family before bidding them farewell.

Once they were outside the door, the old lady whispered to Shu Yu, "We rented a house over there. Look, right there. We've prepared a room for you to sleep in tonight. It gets very cold here at night, and without a good blanket, you won't be able to bear it."

Shu Yu nodded. The blankets in this exile area were not only thin but also filled with things like willow cotton, poplar cotton, and even dried straw. Their insulation was subpar.

Having a warm and comfortable bed was something Shu Yu naturally welcomed.

"Alright, I'll go home with Grandma." She held the old lady's hand, feeling extremely good. However, when they reached the door of the Shu family's house, she stopped. "Grandma, you go ahead. I need to inform the Hou family so they don't wait for me."

"Why not let them come and have dinner together with us?" the old lady suggested.
