Chapter 33: My Name is Lu Shu Yu

 Chapter 33: My Name is Lu Shu Yu 

As Lu Dasong spoke, he looked at Ruan Shi with a serious expression. "Little Sister, are you sure? Is she really Er Ya?"

"I'm sure, very sure. It's her," Ruan Shi hastily nodded, holding onto Shu Yu tightly. Her eyes were full of caution as she looked at Lu Dasong, afraid that he would say something that would make Shu Yu leave.

Lu Dasong had originally wanted to say something else, but seeing the situation, he suddenly choked and could only dryly say, "That's good. It's good that you found her. After so many years, we can finally reunite as a family. Well...we'll go first. You've just reunited, there must be a lot to talk about. When Mom and Second Brother come back, we can all recognize each other as a family."

Of course, he hoped that the girl in front of him was Er Ya. Over the years, he had witnessed how Second Brother's life had changed from one of relative affluence to its current state.

Second Brother had always been willing to work. When he was younger, he was even taken in as an apprentice because of his steadiness. After he got married, he earned the most money among the three brothers. Little Sister was also hardworking, and before Er Ya was stolen, Second Brother's family was the best among the three brothers.

At that time, their relationship as brothers was good. However, Second Brother insisted on finding Er Ya, and one or two years passed, which was understandable. But he kept looking for her for more than ten years. Which family could endure such torment? Before long, Second Brother's family became more and more destitute, and they had to borrow money from everywhere.

Lu Dasong had his own family too. His wife was unhappy after lending money once. At that time, Mom was also following Second Brother. Eventually, the old lady always used her own share of the rations to help Second Brother, and his wife had several arguments with Mom. In the end, Mom just followed Second Brother.

Naturally, the three brothers grew apart from each other, and even their contact became less frequent.

Thinking of this, Lu Dasong couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Shu Yu and said, "Er..." But when he looked at her face, he couldn't bring himself to call her Er Ya.

"Just call me Shu Yu, Lu Shu Yu," Shu Yu was her name before she crossed over. In the Shu family, she was called 'Shu Yu', which although sounded the same, was a different character.

Ruan Shi's face was full of joy when she heard what Shu Yu said. Er Ya had just said that she was surnamed Lu.

Lu Dasong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, Shu Yu. You can chat with Sister-in-law now. They've never given up looking for you all these years. We'll go first."

After speaking, Lu Dasong called on Lu Sanzhu and his wife to leave.

Lu Sanzhu was unhappy and said, "Big brother, I'll stay here and get to know my niece better."

Lu Dasong frowned and said, "What kind of getting to know each other? Don't think I don't know your little schemes. Come with me."

"No, big brother, I'm sincere," Lu Sanzhu said.

Lu Dasong didn't listen to him at all, grabbed his collar and dragged him out.

Lu Sanzhu usually liked to play tricks and avoid work, but he couldn't compare to Lu Dasong who did heavy work in the fields all year round. He struggled a few times but couldn't break free and could only be dragged out of the courtyard gate.

Liang Shi looked at Shu Yu and the others, then at her husband being taken away. She stomped her foot fiercely and said, "Let's go back for now, and come back another day to see our niece."

The three of them left Lu Erbai's house one after another.

There were still many villagers lingering outside the courtyard, constantly peering over to this side, curious about the fact that the Lu family had found their daughter who had been missing for more than ten years.

Especially Shu Yu didn't look like she was down on her luck at all, and they all thought that Lu Erbai had finally turned the corner and was going to prosper.

When they saw Lu Dasong coming out, they pretended not to know anything and looked up at the sky, down at the ground, or at the corners of the walls.
