Chapter 619: Second Miss is on the Verge of Death

Da Ya scooped a bowl of soup and brought it to Shu Yu, smiling as she said, "Everyone is doing fine. I came here to see you. Father and Mother wanted to come too, but they were afraid of causing too much commotion, so they decided to come later."

Now that Shu Yu was here, with the old lady and the others taking care of her, Lu Erbai and Ruan Shi could feel more at ease.

Their focus now was on earning money. Once they had some silver, Shu Yu would be able to eat better.

Shu Yu quietly listened to their accounts of life in the county after they arrived, unable to help but feel amazed at the stark contrast between the attitudes and lifestyles of the Lu and Shu families.

Look at how important it was for this family to work together.

Just as Shu Yu was thinking about her own family, she saw the old lady approaching with a bowl in hand, saying to her, "Take this to Aunt Hou and Sixth Miss."

They had slaughtered two chickens today, and there was enough food. The old lady had stewed a pot and left a bowl for Aunt Hou and the others.

If they didn't have any food at home, it would be one thing, but if they did, it was better to let others have some improvement in their meals.

Shu Yu got up promptly. "Okay, I'll take it over."

Da Ya accompanied her, and they walked and talked along the way, quickly arriving at the entrance of the Shu family's house.

The Shu family members were still arguing about dinner preparations, their dispute seemingly endless.

Shu Yu was already accustomed to such scenes, and just as she was about to push open the courtyard gate, she suddenly heard a sentence amidst the argument. "We need to allocate the room for Second Miss's recuperation. Why don't we move to the right wing room and let Aunt Hou and Second Miss leave?"

Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. What's going on? As soon as she's not here, they're starting to consider the right wing room again?

With a bang, Shu Yu pushed open the courtyard gate.

The Shu family members who were in the midst of their conversation turned their heads in unison, their voices instantly silenced.

They were extremely wary of Shu Yu now. They were surprised when they didn't see her earlier at the wasteland, but once they heard that she had gone hunting, the Shu family members were all gloating, thinking that she couldn't see clearly and dared to venture into the mountains with her limited skills. They probably didn't even know how she died.

So they had the idea of changing rooms just now.

Who would have thought that just a few words later, she would show up?

Shu Yu scanned them with a glance and called Aunt Hou.

Sixth Miss rushed out from the kitchen when she saw Shu Yu, her eyes brightening. "Sister Ah Yu."

Shu Yu handed her the covered bowl and said, "I went hunting in the mountains today and caught a big deer. I also got a wild chicken. I brought some over for you. Haven't eaten yet, right?"

"Not yet, dinner has just been prepared." Sixth Miss was overjoyed and took the bowl, leading the two of them inside.

The other Shu family members widened their eyes. She caught a deer, and, and there's a wild chicken?

They were consumed with jealousy, and their mouths watered uncontrollably at the sight of the meat in Second Miss's bowl.

Shu Yu followed Second Miss into the right wing room, and in no time, Aunt Hou also entered with dinner in her hands.

The four of them closed the door, shutting out the gazes of the other Shu family members.

Shu Yu then introduced Da Ya's identity, "This is my eldest sister."

Da Ya nodded to Aunt Hou and Sixth Miss, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Shu Yu inquired about Second Miss's condition.

Aunt Hou shook her head. "It's getting worse day by day. I'm afraid it won't be more than a couple of days. Besides, there's no one in this house to take care of her. Even drinking water is difficult for her. Furthermore, the daily tasks of the Shu family are limited, and the rationed food is just enough. It would be considered good if she can have half a bun."
