After Daniu finished speaking, his face darkened. He clenched his fists and walked toward the Zhang family’s main door with heavy footsteps.
He didn’t expect Shu Yu to go in the other direction with a tense face.
Daniu was stunned. He looked at the Zhang family and then at Shu Yu’s back. He stomped his feet and followed her.
“Yu, are we going back to call for help?”
That’s right. The Zhang family had three sons, and Old Lady Zhang was not easy to deal with. They were just two juniors. It would not be easy for them to take Daya away. If they tried, they might even hurt Daya in the end.
However, Shu Yu simply said expressionlessly, “She said that she hasn’t eaten all day.”
Daniu suddenly stopped in his tracks. That’s right, Daya said that she hadn’t eaten for a day. Did those bastards from the Zhang family think that the Lu family was dead? No wonder Daya was so skinny.
This was only what they had just seen and heard. God knows how much Daya had been bullied in the past.
Daniu felt a little suffocated. He quickened his pace. He had to hurry back and call for help. He had to call his father, third uncle, and a few of his friends. The girls of the Lu family must not be bullied like this.
He arrived at the mule carriage first, sat on the shaft, and pulled the reins.
However, when Shu Yu arrived, she asked him to come down. She rummaged through the carriage for a while and then took out a bag.
Then, she got off the mule carriage and walked back into Dayan Village.
Daniu was a little confused. He stood beside the carriage for a while before speeding up to catch up with her.
“Yu, what are you doing?”
“It might take some time to take Daya away later. We have to let her eat first.” Daniu said, “We’ll take her away with just the two of us?”
“Yes, just the two of us,” Shu Yu’s expression became increasingly gloomy, and her footsteps gradually quickened.
At this moment, the Zhang family still did not know that someone was walking over angrily.
After Daya finished washing the dishes, Old Madam Zhang urged her to remove the corn kernels from the cob, “You took so long to wash the dishes. Are you deliberately going against me?”
Daya was pushed by her and almost lost her balance.
She had not eaten for a day, plus she had gone to the fields to work for half a day in the morning. When she came back, the whole family had finished eating, not even leaving her with a scrap.
She had only drunk two large ladles of water to fill her stomach. Her vision was a little blurry now, and she felt her limbs start to go weak.
However, she still sat down at the corner of the wall without saying a word. She picked up the corn cob and began to remove the kernel.
Madam Zhou and Madam Feng were munching on melon seeds, laughing and chatting as they watched the children running around in the courtyard.
The boys were naughty. The clothes that Daya had just washed were still hanging on the bamboo pole in the courtyard. The children darted and played under the clothes.
Madam Zhou glanced at Daya and reprimanded them with feigned anger, “Be careful. Your third aunt just washed these clothes. Don’t dirty them.”
Old Madam Zhang came out of the house and dusted the corner of her clothes with her left hand. She scolded Madam Zhou, “If it’s dirty, let her wash it again. Children are smarter when they’re naughty. Why are you reprimanding them?”
Madam Zhou didn’t get annoyed. She just smiled, “Isn’t it because third sister-in-law is working too hard?”
“Working too hard? She’s now a sinner in the Zhang family. She can’t even give birth and still used her in-laws’ things to help her maternal family. She can only atone for her sins if she does more work.”
Madam Feng agreed, ” Mother is right.”
Then, she looked at Daya, “Third Sister-in-law, did you hear that? Someone like you would have been divorced long ago. It’s only mother and third brother who are magnanimous enough to keep you..”
