Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl Chapter 21

Chapter 21

The old lady said, “I know you’re a young lady from a rich family. You must be more capable than us from the countryside. I was thinking that if you’re really grateful to Erbai for saving your life, please help us ask around and see if you can find Erya’s whereabouts. As for the money for treating Erbai’s leg, we will return it to you in the future.”

Shu Yu didn’t know what to say. Ask about Erya’s whereabouts? She was Erya. What could she ask?

Facing the old lady’s eager eyes, Shu Yu’s scalp tingled. She could only restrain her emotions and nodded, “Sure.”

The old lady was instantly delighted. Just then, Sanya’s voice came from outside, “Grandma, big sister Shu, mother said it’s time for dinner.”

Shu Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got up and left the living room.

The Lu family’s kitchen was very small. Other than two stoves and a square table, there was only a cabinet, a water tank, and a few jars of pickles.

At this moment, there were four dishes and a bowl of soup on the table. In addition to the meat she brought, there was also stir-fried cabbage, chives scrambled eggs, fried winter melon, and a towel gourd soup.

Dahu and Sanya’s eyes widened, and they couldn’t help but swallow.

“So many vegetables, and there are also eggs and meat…”

They hadn’t even had such a feast when they were celebrating new years. This was especially true for that bowl of meat. When celebrating new years, they would only have some minced meat. But now, the meat was all in big pieces, and the portion was huge.

How they wished to have so much meat to eat every day.

Madam Ruan served Shu Yu a bowl of rice, while the others only had congee. Not even a grain of rice could be seen in their bowls.

Her bowl of rice was so heavy that she could feel its weight when she lifted it.

Perhaps afraid that she would feel bad, Lu Erbai explained, “The weather is hot. We’ve been working all day and don’t really have an appet.i.te. Porridge is more appetizing.”

As if Shu Yu would believe that. It seemed that the Lu family did not have much food left.

She took the bowl of porridge in front of Sanya and placed it before herself, then pushed the bowl of rice to the middle, saying, “You said that you’ve been working for the whole day, so you must be hungry. I ate something in the county before I came, so I’m not too hungry now. I’ll just have some porridge.”

“Hey, Miss Shu, you…” Madam Ruan wanted to persuade her again, but Shu Yu had already started drinking the porridge.

The Lu family members looked at each other.

Lu Erbai had never looked at Shu Yu carefully before. After all, he was a man and was embarra.s.sed. However, after hearing Madam Ruan’s speculation in the kitchen, he realized that she did look like Daya. Especially when she smiled at Sanya, it was like when Daya was still at home.

Lu Erbai quickly shook off the messy thoughts in his mind. He didn’t persuade Shu Yu anymore. After hesitating for a moment, he divided the bowl of rice.

At first, Sanya and Dahu did not dare to take any food from the dishes in the middle. Even the other members of the Lu family were a little reserved and only ate the vegetable dishes.

Shu Yu, as the guest, couldn’t stand it anymore and gave the twins a few pieces of meat.

She ate very quickly. She didn’t touch the meat on the plate much and left the table soon.

Shu Yu thought that if she didn’t eat the meat, the others would finish the food. Who knew that after she left, the old lady gave each of them a small piece of meat and put the rest in the cupboard, saying, “We’ll eat it tomorrow.”

Shu Yu looked up at the sky. With this weather, if they were to wait until tomorrow, wouldn’t the meat go bad?

It was getting late. After the Lu family finished eating, they cleaned up and planned to go to bed.

There were only two rooms in the Lu family’s house. The big room was for Lu Erbai and his wife with the twins, while the small room was for the old lady alone.
