Chapter 107: Don't Let Anyone Disturb Da Ya
Da Ya was a bit dazed, glancing at Shu Yu and then at the three paper-wrapped packages in front of her. Her stomach rudely growled with a gurgling sound.
In truth, she hadn't eaten much last night. After finishing her meal, she had worked all night and went to sleep with stomach cramps. If she hadn't been so exhausted, she probably wouldn't have been able to sleep at all.
Now, seeing the food in front of her was like an optical illusion.
Unable to resist, Da Ya swallowed her saliva, but she still didn't move. She looked at Shu Yu and asked, "Er Ya, why did you come?"
Seeing that Da Ya wasn't taking action, Shu Yu directly handed her a steamed bun. "Eat quickly."
These things were all bought by Shu Yu in the county today. Although she was a bit tight on money at the moment, she couldn't cut corners when it came to meals. She had already talked to Ruan Shi and the others yesterday, emphasizing the importance of taking care of their bodies. The first step was to eat well, with rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits, and meat. If they could eat more, they should.
Good health was the most important thing. That's why she had originally planned to bring these things back home for them to eat.
In addition to the food, she also had a water flask filled with soy milk.
She had originally wanted to find milk because San Ya often fell while walking. She had asked Doctor Xu before, and it was due to weak bones. Milk had better calcium supplementation than soy milk, but she hadn't seen any milk for sale temporarily. Soy milk was also nutritious, so she bought it for now.
Now, all these things were placed in front of Da Ya.
Da Ya stared blankly at the meat bun in her hand. She hesitated and was about to take a bite when she suddenly heard Zhang's old lady's voice.
"Oh, Er Ya came, and still so polite, bringing so many things?" She turned her head and called out to Zhou Shi and Feng Shi, "Why don't you bring the things inside?"
The two daughters-in-law behind her quickly reacted and looked at the large meat bun, bunches of grapes, and the big chicken leg. They were already thinking about how to divide them up later.
The children became excited and grabbed Zhang's old lady, anxiously shouting, "Grandma, I want that chicken leg! I love eating big chicken legs."
Old lady Zhang couldn't make any promises in front of Shu Yu and Da Niu. She smiled and said, "What chicken leg? Have I ever given you so little to eat? That's a gift from your third sister-in-law's family. You should thank your Aunt Lu."
She pushed the children away, and those kids had some sense. They quickly thanked Shu Yu.
Shu Yu still didn't look at them. Seeing that Da Ya was hesitant to eat, she directly reached out and offered the food to her mouth. "Eat quickly, or else my efforts will go to waste."
When Da Ya heard that it was Er Ya's intention, she no longer hesitated and took a big bite.
The steamed bun had turned cold, but the white dough was soft and eating it was much better than drinking water.
Da Ya almost cried.
Meanwhile, Old lady Zhang's eyelids twitched as she watched Da Ya take a second bite. She suddenly felt heartache. This girl was truly a wasteful thing, openly eating the gift from her natal family in front of so many people without any shame.
Old lady Zhang reached out to take it back. "Da Ya has eaten enough with one. Put the rest away and eat slowly."
But just as she reached out, Shu Yu suddenly stood up and blocked her.
Old lady Zhang was taken aback and heard Shu Yu say, "Da Niu, you stay here and make sure no one without shame comes to snatch the food. My elder sister has been hungry all day. Let her have a proper meal. If anyone disturbs her, whether they're adults or children, just give them a beating."
