Chapter 81: Guarantee You Haven't Eaten This Before

Without much thought, Shu Yu could observe from Lan Hua's behavior what she was thinking.

She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Lan Hua, asking with a smile, "You must be Lan Hua, right? I was wondering where you went earlier. Come in and take a rest first."

Lan Hua followed her into the hall, where Da Bao and Er Niu were already arguing.

At that moment, the old lady came in holding a fruit plate and shouted at the group, "Alright, stop arguing. Come and eat something, be quiet for a while."

Shu Yu looked at the peanuts and chestnuts on the plate, as well as the slightly sour wild fruits picked from the mountain, and couldn't help but touch her forehead.

Lu Sanzhu, who was in the room, rushed out with his daughter and was shocked when he saw the food on the plate. "Mother, you're only giving us this to eat? What about cakes and sweets?"

He had seen Shu Yu bring them back from the county when he went with her yesterday. Why weren't they used to entertain guests? This was a bit too much, wasn't it?

The old lady sneered, "It's good enough that there's something to eat. Don't you see how hard your second brother's life is? You still want cakes and sweets? Dream on."

Lu Sanzhu was about to say that Shu Yu had them, but when he looked at her, she gave him a brilliant smile. Lu Sanzhu suddenly shuddered, remembering that it was the same smile she had when she went to find the Ruan family.

He didn't dare provoke her.

Lu Sanzhu quickly handed Bao Ya to Lan Hua's arms and said, "Watch over Bao Ya for Third Uncle." Then he ran away.

Lan Hua was confused for a moment until she realized that Bao Ya was struggling to reach for the fruit plate on the table. She quickly took a fruit and gave it to her.

Bao Ya took a bite, and the sourness made her whole body shudder. Then she threw the fruit on the ground and started crying loudly.

Lan Hua hurriedly comforted her, "Don't cry, Bao Ya, don't cry."

San Ya also looked up and grabbed Bao Ya's small hand, "Bao Ya, don't cry. Look, look at my shoes. My second sister bought them for me. They're new, and they look good, don't they?"

"Bao Ya, ..." Bao Ya cried even harder.

San Ya looked at Shu Yu in confusion, and even she felt like crying because of Bao Ya's tears.

Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh and rubbed San Ya's head. She said to Bao Ya, "If you stop crying, I'll give you something delicious to eat later."

Bao Ya stopped crying and blinked her eyes, asking, "Is it cake?"

As expected, she was the daughter of Lu Sanzhu. She remembered her father's words very clearly.

However, when the others present heard their conversation, they all turned to look at Shu Yu. Even Er Niu and Da Bao came over, forgetting their past animosity towards her. Da Bao had previously been fierce towards her, but now his chubby face trembled with excitement.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "It's even more delicious than cake. I guarantee you've never had it before."

Shu Yu had indeed bought some cakes and candies and had planned to treat her guests today. However, the old lady had also said that there was only a small amount, and Zhang Shu and Da Ya had not yet arrived. If she brought it out now, it would probably be eaten by the few people there.

It would be better to wait for everyone to arrive, then give a little to each of the younger ones and satisfy their sweet tooth.

Shu Yu thought the old lady made sense and didn't object.

When Lu Sanzhu heard that it was even more delicious than cake, she had already run out, but then ran back excitedly and asked, "What is it?"

Shu Yu's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
