NovelEnglishChapter 26
The kneel was real. Even Shu Yu, who was standing at the door, was shocked.
The other villagers were even more shocked. They started discussing in low voices.
“Is this really Erya of the Lu family’s second son?”
“I think so? That old hag from the Ruan family is crying like this. She seems to be really regretful.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That Old Lady Ruan is ruthless and doesn’t treat Erbai’s wife well. Would she really put in so much effort to help her find her daughter?”
“What else? She doesn’t need to lie to Erbai’s wife about this. Given Erbai’s family’s situation, what good would it do her to lie?”
Everyone thought about it and agreed. Why would Old Lady Ruan lie to her daughter without a reason?
“Sanzhu, what do you think?” One of the villagers asked Third Lu and his wife, who were watching the show.
Lu Sanzhu glanced at the courtyard and chuckled, “What should I think? My poor niece had gone missing when she was young. It’s been more than ten years, who knows what she looks like now? I can’t tell, but my second sister-in-law should be able to recognize her daughter, right?”
The villagers nodded, “That’s right. Then, Erbai’s wife should know what the birthmarks on Erya are, right?”
As soon as that was said, Old Lady Ruan pushed the sleeve girl’s arm away and said to Madam Ruan, “Daughter, look, look at her arm. Aren’t these two moles the same as when she was young? This child has suffered a lot outside. Look at how thin she is, it’s too pitiful.”
Madam Ruan’s eyes widened when she saw the girl’s arm. She quickly grabbed the girl who was being helped up by Old Lady Ruan and asked in a trembling voice, “You, are you really Erya?”
The girl nodded and cried as she said, “Mother, I missed you so much. I’ve been wandering outside all these years. I’ve been wondering where my parents are and why they haven’t found me. I really wanted to go home. There were thunder and rain outside. Many bad people bullied me, beat me, and starved me. I was so hungry that I drank water just to fill my stomach. I didn’t have a place to sleep either, so I hid under a bridge. I just couldn’t get help from anyone.”
“Don’t, don’t say anymore,” Madam Ruan couldn’t take it. She had imagined such a scene every day and night. Hearing that it was all true, her heart was about to bleed.
Seeing this, the girl quickly grabbed her, “Okay, I’ll stop. Mother, I’ll stop. I’m home now, and our family is finally reunited. In the future, I have a father, a mother, and a family. I’m no longer alone.”
Old Lady Ruan nodded, “That’s right, that’s right. I feel much better seeing you and your daughter reunited.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadam Ruan was supported by the two, one on her left and one on her right. She felt as if her brain was swollen and her mind was in a mess.
Lu Erbai and the old lady were not around. She was simply no match for Old Lady Ruan. She didn’t have a chance to speak at all between the words of the two newcomers. She did have a few questions in her mind, but they were all interrupted by Old Lady Ruan.
Old Lady Ruan even went to Dahu and Sanya and looked at them kindly. She held two candies in her hands and smiled at them, “Dahu, Sanya, we’ve found your second sister. Are you happy? Here, this is the candy that grandma prepared for you. It’s for you to enjoy.”
The twins looked at each other and couldn’t help but take a step back.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Old Lady Ruan’s face, but she quickly forced a smile, “Take it. Grandma bought them for you. You guys can eat it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the candy in her hand was suddenly slapped to the ground.
Old Lady Ruan said angrily, “Who is so rude?”
She looked up and met Shu Yu’s cold eyes.
