The old lady knew that Erya would definitely be the one funding the shop’s capital, but she felt guilty for taking this money.
Shu Yu, on the other hand, wanted to start a small business slowly. After all, she had to build a strong foundation. Unfortunately, she did not have that much time.
The old lady still wanted to say something, but Shu Yu had already stood up and entered the house.
After a while, she came back with a basket.
“Grandma, third aunt said that Daya came by when we weren’t around. She went back later, but I think she left this behind.”
The old lady was stunned for a moment and her attention shifted.
Even Dahu and Sanya stopped eating their buns and looked at the basket.
The old lady looked at the cloth in the basket and was silent for a while. Then, she let out a long sigh, “This is a gift from Daya. Just take it.”
Shu Yu nodded and took out the peaches from under the cloth. She handed them to Dahu and Sanya, then asked them to wash the fruits.
After the two children left, Shu Yu asked, “Grandma, I haven’t seen Daya yet. Tell me about her situation. Which family did she marry? Do her in-laws treat her well?”
The old lady was stunned. She looked up at Shu Yu and saw her clear eyes. She laughed bitterly, “Daya is three years older than you. She married into Dayan Village two years ago. Her husband is called Zhang Shu, and he’s quite good to her. He’s also honest and would help out with the work when he comes over.”
“Daya is just quite thin, but she’s good-looking, just like you. When the Zhang family had come to propose marriage, they had taken a fancy to Daya’s sensible, virtuous, and diligent character. Their marriage was done properly with all the steps. In the first six months of their marriage, Daya would come back almost once a month and a half, quite frequently. But half a year later, when the Zhang family saw that there was no movement from Daya’s stomach, their attitudes turned ugly. At that point, Daya rarely came back, and she never spent the night here anymore. She would be called back after less than two hours.”
The old lady felt sad as she spoke. She felt that the lives of her second son’s children were just too hard.
Daya was leading a hard married life, Erya was stolen and sold when she was young and they had thus been separated for more than ten years, and Sanya’s face was injured. As a result, the little brats in the village would call Sanya ugly every day, and because of this, Dahu fought with them several times. Every time he came back, he was injured. The two children wouldn’t even gobble down a meat bun. They had only nibbled on half of the meat bun by the time it turned cold.
“Just why is Daya’s stomach so disappointing? It had already been two years. If she is still childless in a year, how was she going to live her life in the future? Not only will the Zhang family treat her poorly, but the villagers will also point fingers at her. It may affect your and Sanya’s marriage in the future too. The last time I saw her, she was so skinny that she looked like she had aged a few years.”
Shu Yu patted her hand and said in a low voice, ‘Grandma, don’t worry. The matter of having a child depends on fate. Besides, it’s not necessarily Daya i s fault that she can’t give birth. It could also be because Zhang Shu is sick.” The old lady raised her head abruptly, “How is that possible?”
“Why not? Grandma, think about it, a woman can’t give birth to a child on her own. If she doesn’t get married and doesn’t have sex, can she give birth without a man? It’s just that the child is born from a woman’s womb, so everyone thinks that it’s the woman’s responsibility if she is unable to give birth.. But if the child is born from a man’s stomach, will it become the man’s problem?
