Lu Sanzhu, who had been paying attention to any noise outside the door, immediately rushed out when he heard the sound of rolling wheels.
“Yu is back? Come, give me the mule carriage. I’ll help you feed the mule.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Daniu opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing the two sisters inside.
Lu Sanzhu’s smiling face froze when he saw Daya’s unkempt hair, dirty face, and swollen eyes, “Daya, what’s wrong with you?
Shu Yu got off the mule cart and turned around to help Daya get off.
The faces of Shu Yu and Daniu were dark, telling Lu Sanzhu that something was wrong.
He instantly shouted into the house, “Mother, second brother, something happened. Something happened to Daya!’
Shu Yu felt as if her ears had been pierced. She glanced at him and brought Daya into the courtyard.
As soon as she entered, the old lady and the others who had heard the commotion rushed over to welcome her.
“Da, Daya, why are you back at this time? You, you…” The old lady was shocked to see Daya in such a sorry state.
She quickly grabbed her and asked, “What happened?”
“Grandma, let’s go inside first,” Da Niu entered the house and supported the old lady so that she wouldn’t lose her balance from being too flustered.
Outside the door, Lu Sanzhu was very curious. He quickly pulled the mule carriage into his yard and tied the mule up. Then, he said to his son who was playing, “Dabao, go to your uncle’s house quickly. Tell him that Daya is back and that something has happened. Ask your uncle to come over.”
After Dabao ran out, he pulled Madam Liang, who was carrying Baoya, and ran towards Lu Erbai’s house, “Let’s go, let’s go. I feel like something big is going to happen in our family.”
Others might not know, but he was very clear about Shu Yu’s methods.
The last time she found out that Old Lady Ruan wanted to sell Sanya and Dahu, she had the same murderous expression.
By the time the two of them ran into Lu Erbai’s house, Shu Yu happened to be talking about the things that the Zhang family had done. When she saw Lu Sanzhu and the others, she only glanced at them and did not stop them from coming in and listening.
She continued, “…Other than Zhang Shu, who was not at home, everyone in the Zhang family was watching Daya work with their legs crossed. They don’t treat her as a human at all. They made her squat in the corner like a wooden stake and let the three children throw melon seed shells at her head to compete who could throw the most. As long as Daya blocked the shells with her hand, Old Madam Zhang would hit her head with a corn cob.”
“The two daughters-in-law of the Zhang family knew that Daya brought back peaches last time and didn’t leave any for their son, so they said that they wanted to punish her. Not only did she starve for the whole day, but when she came back from work, they even suspected that she had hidden peaches again. As soon as she entered the courtyard, they pinched her. Look, she doesn’t have much flesh on her body either, but her arms are all covered in marks that they made.”
The old lady’s tears fell as she listened. She cursed the Zhang family’s bastards and regretted that she didn’t judge people well and pushed her granddaughter into a fire pit.
She grabbed Daya’s hand and looked at her bruised arms. She was crying so hard that she was about to faint.
Daya looked at Shu Yu and said with a choked voice, ‘Erya, don’t say anymore.
Shu Yu didn’t want to say all this either, but she didn’t want her family to understand the pain that Daya had suffered. If they didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter, Daya would have to go back to that man-eating place sooner or later.
Madam Ruan and Sanya were also crying, their faces full of tears. Lu Erbai was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging.
Dahu rushed to the door, “I will avenge big sister!”
However, halfway through, he was pulled back by Lu Dasong and Madam Li who had just entered the door..
