Chapter 107: Don’t Let Anyone Disturb Daya
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Daya was a little confused. She glanced at Shu Yu and then at the three paper bags in front of her. Her stomach grumbled rudely.
To be honest, she didn’t eat much last night either. After eating, she worked the whole night too. By the time she slept last night, her stomach was aching. If not for her exhaustion, she probably wouldn’t have been able to sleep at all.
When she saw the food in front of her, she felt as if her eyes were hallucinating.
Daya couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, but she still didn’t move. She looked at Shu Yu again, “Erya, why are you guys here?”
Shu Yu saw that she didn’t move, so she handed her a bun, “Eat.”
She had bought all these things in the county today. Although she was a little tight on money now, money on food could not be saved. She had told Madam Ruan and the others yesterday that they needed to take good care of their bodies. The first step was to eat well. They should eat things like rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits, and meat as much as they could.
Being healthy was the most important thing, so she had originally planned to bring these home for them to eat.
Apart from that, she also had a water bag in her hand that contained soy milk.
She had wanted to buy milk because Sanya kept tripping when she walked. She had asked Doctor Xu about it before and learned that it was because of Sanya’s weak bones. Milk was better than soy milk for calcium replenishment, but she didn’t find any milk for the time being. Since soy milk was nutritious too, she bought soy milk first.
At this moment, these were all placed in front of Daya.
Daya looked at the meat bun in her hand in a daze. She hesitated and was about to take a bite when Old Lady Zhang’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
“Oh my, why are you so polite and brought so many things since you’re here?” She turned her head and called out to Madam Zhou and Madam Feng, “Why aren’t you bringing the things in?”
The two wives behind her reacted. Looking at the big meat buns, grapes, and chicken drumsticks, they were already thinking about how to divide them later.
The children were even more excited. They grabbed Old Lady Zhang and shouted anxiously, “Grandma, I want that drumstick. I like to eat big drumsticks.”
Old Lady Zhang could not promise anything out loud in front of Shu Yu and Daniu. She smiled and said, “What drumstick? Did you guys not have enough to eat during normal days? That’s a gift from your third aunt’s family. Why aren’t you thanking Second Aunt Lu?”
She pushed the children. Those children had good judgment and quickly thanked Shu Yu.
Shu Yu still didn’t look at them. Seeing that Daya was still apprehensive and didn’t dare to eat, she put the bun right next to her mouth and said, “Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste of my effort.”
Upon hearing that it was Er Ya’s effort, Daya no longer hesitated and took a bite.
The bun was already cold, but the white flour was soft. It was much better than water.
Daya almost cried.
Old Lady Zhang’s eyelids twitched. Seeing Daya take a second bite, her heart ached. As expected, she was a prodigal. To think she ate the gift from her family in front of so many people. How shameless.
Old Lady Zhang reached out to take it, “Daya, one is enough. Put the rest away and we’ll eat slowly.”
But halfway through, Shu Yu suddenly stood up and blocked her way.
Old Lady Zhang was stunned. She heard Shu Yu say, “Brother Daniu, stay here and guard. Don’t let those shameless people come and snatch the food. My big sister has been hungry for the whole day. Let her have a good meal. If anyone disturbs her, regardless of whether it’s an adult or a child, I’ll beat them up directly..”
