Chapter 36: Delicious Stomping Feet

Shu Yu was skilled in cooking, as in her past life, she had put a lot of effort into her culinary skills to get close to her enemies.

San Ya immediately raised her hand and said, "I'll cook, I'm very good at cooking."

Da Hu was not to be outdone. "I'm even better."

"Nonsense, I cook it better."

As Ruan Shi watched the three siblings interacting intimately, she couldn't help but feel both sour and happy. She wiped her eyes and approached them, saying, "You all rest, I'll do it."

Shu Yu would absolutely not let Ruan Shi cook the noodles, otherwise, there would be no oil in the dish. She didn't like heavy oil and salt, but just two drops of oil per dish, which she refused.

Shu Yu pushed Ruan Shi out and took out the dishes and bowls she had bought in the county town to have her help wash them.

Ruan couldn't refuse as Er Ya was filial, and she didn't want Er Ya to misunderstand that she wasn't treating her like her own daughter.

However, when Ruan Shi came back in after washing the dishes, she saw Shu Yu preparing to stir-fry the meat, pouring a thick layer of oil that almost made Ruan exclaim in shock.

She wanted to say that so much oil was too wasteful, but she opened her mouth and quickly closed it, then endured the pain in her heart as she placed the dishes and bowls one by one in the cupboard, but her eyes kept glancing at the stove.

Shu Yu put the sliced meat in the pan, and the sound of sizzling came to her ears, followed by the aroma that filled the air.

San Ya and Da Hu stood next to the stove, puffing their chests and taking deep breaths, their eyes narrowing in ecstasy.

"So fragrant, too fragrant."

Ruan Shi thought, of course, it's fragrant, with so much oil.

The meat was sliced thinly and cooked quickly.

Shu Yu used chopsticks to pick up two pieces and gave them to the two little ones, and as soon as they tasted it, they raised their heads in surprise. "It's so delicious!"

It was the most delicious meat they had ever eaten in their lives.

San Ya was even more delighted and stomped her feet, while Da Hu... he ran outside and circled the yard.

Ruan Shi couldn't help but smile, her eyes curving. Since Er Ya went missing, she hadn't laughed much.

The noodles were cooked quickly. Shu Yu took a basin and placed the cooked noodles on the table.

At first, Ruan Shi was standing far away and didn't notice the amount of noodles. But now, she realized that there were too many noodles.

Her mother-in-law and husband were not home, and the few of them could not possibly eat so much. But if they left it until tomorrow, the noodles would be ruined.

She looked at Shu Yu, but ultimately didn't say anything, and asked the two children to wash their hands.

Unexpectedly, Da Hu ran in halfway through washing his hands and said, "Mom, Second Sister, Third Uncle is knocking at the door outside."

As soon as Ruan Shi heard this, she inwardly exclaimed, "Oh no, he must have smelled the fragrance and come over."

Her mother-in-law was not at home, and she was no match for her younger brothers and sisters. She couldn't guarantee that the noodles would be safe.

Da Hu quickly said, "I'll take the basin of noodles and hide it in the room."

San Ya shook her head and said, "No, Mom said that Third Uncle has a nose like a dog."

The three of them were in a hurry. Usually, there was nothing good to eat at home, and with the old lady watching over them, they couldn't get away with anything.

Shu Yu, on the other hand, was very calm. She even took out a big bowl and picked out a portion of the noodles.

Then she said to Da Hu. "Go and open the door and let them in."

"What?" Da Hu was taken aback and hurriedly explained, "Second Sister, you don't know Third Uncle's temperament. He will..."

"I know," Shu Yu smiled and said, "I deliberately made more noodles because I knew he would come."

The three of them were stunned. What did Second Sister mean?

 Chapter 35: Egg and Shredded Pork Noodles

At first, Ruan Shi thought it was Lu Sanzhu and his wife, but then she heard the voice of Da Niu outside, "Er Shu, it's me, Da Niu."

Da Hu quickly turned around and ran over to open the gate.

Da Niu came in with a smile on his face and carrying the rice, noodles, and oil that Shu Yu had bought.

Shu Yu and Ruan Shi also came over. Da Niu looked at Shu Yu with shining eyes and said, "You, you're really Er Ya?"

"Yes, it's me."

Da Niu smiled and said, "Good, it's good that you're back."

When he drove the cart to the village with Shu Yu, she ran back first. Da Niu originally followed her, but he had to drive the cart, and the village road was narrow, so he walked slower.

Halfway there, he happened to meet Lu Dasong coming back from the fields, who told him not to go because old lady Ruan was not easy to get along with, and Da Niu was an honest and junior person who would only suffer if he faced her.

He should just go see for himself.

So Lu Dasong let Da Niu return the cart to the village head's house first, and then go to his own home to call his wife. Some things were better solved between women.

When Da Niu returned the cart and called his mother to come help, she was not happy and said she didn't want to get involved with Ruan Shi's affairs. She even wanted to take away the rice, noodles, and oil he was carrying.

Just as Da Niu was arguing with his mother, Lu Dasong came back.

That's when Da Niu heard about Shu Yu's identity and hurriedly took the things to his Second Uncle's house.

He said to Ruan Shi, "These are all bought by Shu...Er Ya. She heard that you had trouble here and ran back, but didn't have time to take them. I'm here to bring them to you."

Ruan Shi looked at the things in Da Niu's hand with surprise and asked, "Er Ya, how did you buy these?"

Shu Yu just smiled and said to Da Niu, "Thank you, but it's getting late. Stay and have dinner with us."

"No, thanks. I have food at home, I'll go back first," Da Niu said, waving his hand before leaving.

After the gate closed, only Shu Yu and a few others remained in the courtyard.

Ruan Shi looked at the rice and noodles on the ground and couldn't say anything for a while.

Shu Yu gave the oil to San Ya and put the meat in Da Hu's hand, while she picked up the rice, noodles, and dishes. "Let's go, help me take these to the kitchen."

San Ya and Da Hu glanced at each other, then hurriedly followed Shu Yu as she walked to the kitchen.

Ruan Shi was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with them.

"Er Ya, why did you buy so much food? You just came back, we should take care of you, why did you spend money instead?"

Shu Yu put the rice and noodles on the table, turned her head to face Ruan's anxious expression and said in a slightly low tone, "If you keep saying this, being so polite to me, it's like treating me as an outsider."

"No, no, how could I treat you as an outsider? You are my Er Ya. Mom won't be so polite to you anymore," Ruan quickly explained.

Shu Yu waved to Da Hu and San Ya, "Okay, then let's make noodles tonight. We'll make egg and meat noodles. Do we have eggs at home?"

Egg and meat noodles?

Da Hu and San Ya swallowed their saliva and looked at Shu Yu with bright eyes.

Shu Yu asked them to help bring a basin and said, "Today, I'll show you my skills, but you have to help me light the fire."

 Chapter 34: Lu Sanzhu Thoughts

Lu Dasong did not go to see the villagers. He let go of Lu Sanzhu and warned him, "Your younger sister and her siblings just reunited. Don't disturb them. Go back to your house."

He still had work to do in the fields, so he didn't stay long. After giving Lu Sanzhu a glare, he left.

However, this time he walked much more briskly. After all, it was a joyous occasion for Er Ya to be found, and Lu Dasong was happy about it.

As soon as Lu Dasong's figure was out of sight, Lu Sanzhu snorted and spat at his back. "Big brother is so sneaky. He didn't have to stop me from making a fortune if he just wanted to leave."

Liang Shi blinked at him. "Don't worry. At least we helped Er Ya a little just now by standing on her side and exposing old lady Ruan scheme. Er Ya should remember this favor, right?"

"Of course she should remember. If she doesn't, I'll remind her." Lu Sanzhu snorted twice and looked at Lu Erbai's house. He waved his hand. "Forget it. Let's go home first. They need some time to catch up. Later, we can visit them and show our faces in front of Er Ya. It's lucky that the real Er Ya is Miss Shu, who seems to be a wealthy woman. It's also reasonable for us to help her uncle and aunt who are poor and have helped her before."

Liang Shi nodded. The couple thought of good things in their hearts and entered their home with a giggle.

Meanwhile, Shu Yu, who they were concerned about, was being pulled into the house by Ruan Shi.

As soon as she entered the house, Ruan Shi couldn't help but cry. She tightly grabbed Shu Yu's hand and asked, "Er Ya, have you been well these past few years? Did the people who bought you treat you badly? How did you find your way here? And your foster parents? What about them..."

She asked quickly and urgently, and Shu Yu didn't interrupt. She waited until Ruan Shi finished before saying, "I'm doing well. Look at me. Do I look like I've been through a lot? The family that bought me originally wanted a son. When they saw that I was a girl, they just gave me away. My foster parents treated me well. I was their only daughter. They passed away a few years ago due to an accident and only then did they tell me about my identity and ask me to come find my biological family."

Shu Yu couldn't tell them about the Shu family's situation, so she made up a story. "I just found out about your whereabouts a few days ago and came to see you. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you at first. I wasn't sure if you would welcome me..."

"Welcome, of course, welcome."

"Mm, I know,"

After hearing that Shu Yu was doing well, Ruan Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her hand. "Thanks to you for taking care of your foster parents. After we settle down, I'll go with you to visit them."

Shu Yu replied hesitantly, "Okay, we can go see them."

She could only vaguely nod her head and avoid Ruan Shi's gaze.

Then, she saw San Ya and Da Hu, who had been staring at her intently on the side.

When she saw their identical expressions, Shu Yu couldn't help but feel happy and waved to them, "What's wrong? I'm your second sister. Are you unhappy?"

San Ya whispered, "No, I'm so happy. It's like, like I'm dreaming." She cautiously approached and gently touched Shu Yu's hand with her small hand.

Da Hu also vigorously nodded his head, afraid that Shu Yu might misunderstand and leave.

Ruan Shi looked on with satisfaction and joy at the interaction between the siblings. Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

(End of this chapter)

Translator note:

So sorry for the confusion 

Lu Laosan is Lu Sanzhu a I am too lazy to review previous chapters to correct it🤭

He is the third brother of the family and the husband of Liang Shi 

 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.

 Chapter 32: Escaped

In just a moment, the girl saw that the villagers were all staring at her with intense gazes, as if she was really going to do something unfavorable to Shu Yu.

The girl was instantly frightened and without hesitation, she completely betrayed old lady Ruan, "It wasn't me, I'm not a fraud, I don't know anything. It was all her, she asked me to impersonate Er Ya from the Lu family."

She pointed at old lady Ruan and quickly clarified herself, "I'm just a beggar. A few days ago, she met me and saw two moles on my arm. She then asked me to pretend to be the second young lady of the Lu family. She said that if I went to the Lu family, I could have a place to live and food to eat. But when I got there, I found that the Lu family was also very poor. Nevertheless, I had a status and a place to stay, at least I wouldn't have to sleep on the streets. It was all her plan."

"Really?" Shu Yu expressed doubt.

The girl quickly nodded, "Of course it's true. Otherwise, how would I know that Er Ya had moles on her arm? It was all she told me."

Shu Yu looked at old lady Ruan, "Do you have anything else to say now? Why did you ask a beggar to impersonate Er Ya?"

"What could be my purpose? The Lu family has nothing. Could I still steal some money from them? Isn't it just to fulfill my daughter's longing for Er Ya? I did it for the sake of the Lu family." old lady Ruan spoke as she backed away, and when she was far enough, she turned and ran straight out of the courtyard gate.

Liang Shi let out a sound of disdain, "This old hag. I'll go chase after her."

"Third sister, don't bother. Just let her be." Lu Dasong spoke up and blocked her. What could they do if they caught up with old lady Ruan? After all, she was the mother of their second sister, and her plot had failed. Could they still beat her up?

Liang Shi cast a reluctant glance at Lu San, and the girl who impersonated Er Ya saw old lady Ruan escape and knew that if she didn't leave now, she would have to bear all the blame.

Without another word, she pushed her way through the crowd and ran away.

Liang Shi wanted to catch her but didn't manage to. She stomped her feet in anger, "She sure can run fast."

Shu Yu didn't catch her either. Ruan Shi hugged her tightly, as if she would disappear again if Shu Yu didn't hold on a little tighter.

Shu Yu tried to struggle twice but couldn't break free, so she gave up.

Right now, the two troublemakers have left, but Ruan Shi still hasn't let go. Even San Ya and Da Hu are quietly moving closer to her, looking at her with a curious and joyful expression.

Before, they just thought she was a beautiful and gentle sister who was like a fairy, and they still felt a little distance from her. But now, this fairy sister has become their second sister.

The two children couldn't express their happiness, and they also wanted to hug their second sister like their mother.

San Ya even secretly reached out her little hand, wanting to hold her hand, but when she touched it, she quickly withdrew it.

Shu Yu smiled and looked at the soft little girl. She didn't even want to bother with Ruan Shi.

She reached out and held San Ya's little hand. The little girl suddenly looked up and looked at her with surprise.

Shu Yu blinked at her, and San Ya's face turned red instantly. She shyly lowered her head.

When Shu Yu raised her head again, she saw that Lu Dasong had already started evacuating the onlookers.

When everyone had left, Lu Dasong closed the courtyard door.

For a while, only the Lu family members were left in the courtyard.

Liang Shi wanted to speak, but Lu Dasong came over first.

He looked at Shu Yu and carefully scrutinized her for a long time before finally nodding. "She does look a bit like Da Ya."

(End of this chapter)

 Chapter 31: Liang Shi's Scheming

Shu Yu and Ruan Shi turned their heads at the same time and saw that Lu Laosan and his wife Liang Shi had somehow sneaked into the yard.

Without saying a word, Liang Shi took advantage of Ruan Shi and the girl's inattention and grabbed the girl by the back of her neck.

Unfortunately, the girl either really was unkempt or was intentionally making herself look pitiful. Her neck was black with dirt, as she hadn't bathed for several days.

Liang Shi spat a mouthful of saliva on the girl's neck, then vigorously rubbed it a few times, removing a layer of mud. Satisfied with her work, she laughed and said, "I took a look and there's no birthmark on this girl's neck. She's a fake."

Shu Yu was shocked by this move. She had only seen Liang Shi twice before, but each time Liang Shi had surprised her with her unexpected actions.

Old lady Ruan finally reacted and rushed over to hit Liang. "What are you doing? Spitting on someone's neck? Do you have a serious illness?"

Liang Shi was not someone to be trifled with. She pushed Ruan Shi away and said, "What am I doing? I'm helping Second Sister-in-law prove whether this girl is Second Miss or not. Miss Shu openly and straightforwardly showed us her neck. You guys are hiding something, aren't you afraid of being guilty?"

Lu Laosan also chimed in, "That's right, that's right. You came knocking on our door when my mother and second brother weren't home, thinking that no one was here and you could deceive us."

As he spoke, Lu Laosan and his wife stood beside Ruan Shi and Shu Yu, looking as though they would kill old lady Ruan if she dared to say another word.

Shu Yu looked at the two of them suspiciously. What were they trying to do? She hadn't seen them act so righteous before. Weren't they just squatting at the gate to watch the excitement a little while ago?

But she didn't have time to think about it now. She walked towards old lady Ruan and the girl step by step and asked, "Now you can tell us what you're trying to do by bringing this fake here?"

Old lady Ruan couldn't help but take a step back. "I, I..."

She looked at Ruan Shi and Shuyu, the Lao San couple, and Lu Dasong who were standing in the courtyard, and her heart sank.

Old lady Ruan regretted not bringing her son over. At the time, she thought that since the old lady of the Lu family was not there and Lao Er of the Lu family had gone to the county, the two of them coming over would be enough. It would also be a good opportunity to show weakness and soften her daughter's heart.

Who knew that a Miss Shu would suddenly appear, and this Miss Shu was actually the real Er Ya.

Old lady Ruan was furious, but looking at the Lu family's eager eyes, she suddenly closed her eyes, her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, then slapped her thighs and cried, "Oh, I'm really unlucky. I had good intentions but was taken for a fool. How could I have known that this girl was a fake? I'm the one who was deceived. Oh, woe is me!"

Shu Yu looked at her and smiled, then turned to the girl and asked, "She says she was deceived by you, so you're the one who cheated her? Where did you come from? What do you want to do? Are you trying to deceive the Lu family by pretending to be Lu Er Ya? If so, what's next? The Lu family is living a difficult life, and there's nothing worth deceiving here. Could it be that you want to stay in Shishi Village and do something to the villagers under the guise of being Lu Er Ya? Tell me, do you have any accomplices? Where are they, and what's your plan?"

The girl was stunned. She didn't want to do anything, where would she find any accomplices?

 (End of this chapter.)

 Chapter 30: Embrace

Ruan Shi nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes, there is."

Old lady Ruan suddenly looked at her, furious. "What do you mean? Do you really believe this girl with an unknown origin over your own mother? Why would I bring a fake to impersonate Er Ya?"

Ruan Shi shrank back, and Shu Yu stood in front of her, smirking at the obviously guilty old lady Ruan. "Why are you so nervous? Didn't you say it yourself, if it's really Er Ya, her own mother would definitely know? Also, when you stole Er Ya away, you were so flustered and probably didn't pay attention to anything else, except for the two birthmarks on her arm."

"I...I..." Old lady Ruan couldn't speak.

She really didn't know what kind of markings Er Ya had on her body. At that time, she was in such a hurry to get away that she didn't even have time to open the swaddling clothes. After all, the other party wanted a boy, so she tricked the buyer.

In such a situation, she didn't even have the chance to argue back, as Shu Yu didn't give her the opportunity.

Shu Yu turned to Ruan Shi. "What else can prove that this is the real Er Ya?"

Ruan Shi steadied her nerves, and seeing Shu Yu's calm demeanor, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Can I take a look at the back of your necks? Er Ya has a mole the size of a grain of rice on the back of her neck."

This was something that the Lu family hadn't told anyone. Also, with so many people around, it wasn't appropriate to mention other parts of the body.

Old lady Ruan and the girl looked at each other, and Old lady Ruan wanted to throw a tantrum. But Shu Yu had already pushed her hair to one side of her shoulder and calmly allowed Ruan Shi to see.

Shu Yu couldn't see the back of her neck herself, nor did she know if she really had such a mole. But she knew that the investigation by the head of Dongqing Temple couldn't be wrong.

With just one glance, tears flowed uncontrollably from Ruan Shi's eyes. If she was only eighty or ninety percent certain before, seeing the birthmark on the back of her neck now, Ruan Shi was certain that she was Er Ya.

"It's you, you're Er Ya, my daughter." Ruan Shi cried and hugged Shu Yu directly. "Er Ya, mother missed you so much. I almost thought I would never see you again in this life. Er Ya, you're finally back, sob..."

Shu Yu was a little dazed by her embrace. For many years, she had not been hugged with such intense emotion by anyone. In her previous life, her parents had died early, and she was single-mindedly seeking revenge, sometimes even using any means necessary. She had hardly had any close friends and did not trust anyone, let alone the kind of emotions that made her feel confined.

No one had ever hugged her, even when she had risen higher later on. She had always been alone on her way forward, forever on her own.

Now, facing Ruan Shi's tears, Shu Yu's hands were a little awkward, and for once, she didn't know how to react.

After a while, she lifted her hand slightly and clumsily patted Ruan Shi's back, whispering, "Don't cry."

"Yes, I won't cry. It's a happy thing that you're back home. How could I cry?" Ruan Shi finally reluctantly let go of her, wiped away her tears, and looked up at her, carefully examining her from her forehead to her nose and then to her mouth, as if she didn't want to miss even a single strand of her hair.

Shu Yu felt quite uncomfortable being looked at like this and was about to say something to shift the focus, but then she heard a terrified scream in her ear.

(End of this chapter)

 Chapter 29: You're Er Ya!!

Lu Dasong was almost driven mad by old  lady Ruan careless remarks as she got older. She said whatever was on her mind without any restraint.

Unfortunately, Lu Dasong was not good with words and couldn't find a way to refute her while he was filled with anger.

Lu Dasong could only turn to Shu Yu and say, "Miss Shu, I am Lu Erbai's elder brother. May I ask, since you are so sure that this girl is not Er Ya, do you have any evidence?"

"Yes, if you have any evidence, bring it out." Old lady Ruan was full of herself and didn't show any fear.

The villagers outside also joined in, "That's right, Miss Shu, you can't just say that someone is not who they are without any evidence. How can you prove it?"

"That's right, if you can't prove it, you shouldn't just drive her away if she is really Er Ya. Aren't you doing a bad thing?"

"You can't just say anything and it becomes true. Erbai's wife hasn't denied it either."

Shu Yu frowned and looked around. Before she could speak, she saw Da Hu and San Ya running over.

Da Hu stood in front of her, and San Ya, who was usually timid, lifted her head and said, "Sister Shu is a good person. She is not evil. Don't bully her."

Shu Yu's heart softened and she reached out to touch San Ya's head and whispered, "It's okay."

She patted Da Hu's shoulder and asked him to stand with San Ya.

Then she looked towards Ruan Pozi. Ruan Pozi had not spoken since earlier, and she didn't know why. Clearly, the girl had the same mole on her arm as Second Ya, but seeing her being hit and scolded by Shu Yu, Ruan Pozi couldn't bring herself to say anything to help her.

When old lady Ruan met Shu Yu's eyes, she was stunned.

Those eyes...

Shu Yu had her back facing the villagers outside the courtyard and lifted up the sleeve of her arm in front of Ruan Shi.

Ruan Shi lowered her head to take a look, but her eyes suddenly widened the next moment. She couldn't help but grab Shu Yu's arm with her hands and stared fixedly at the two moles on it.

Lu Dasong, who was standing nearby, also saw it and looked at her in shock.

"It's you, you have the same mole on your arm. Are you Er Ya?!" Ruan Shi's lips trembled. "Really, it's really you. I didn't recognize you wrong. You are Er Ya, I knew it, wuwuwu..."

She was so excited that if Shu Yu hadn't quickly supported her, Ruan Shi would have collapsed to the ground.

"What?!" Old lady Ruan on the other side changed her face drastically when she heard this and hurriedly took two steps forward to also see Shu Yu's arm.

She raised her head in disbelief. "You're Er Ya? No, it's impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" Shu Yu put her sleeve back down and smiled. "Didn't you ask me for evidence? I am the evidence. Since I am the child that you stole and sold, the others must be imposter."

"You, you, it's not possible. You're not her, she is." Ruan's old lady panicked.

"She?" Shu Yu looked at the girl and scrutinized her up and down for a while. "Ask the villagers present here and see where she resembles the Lu family? Flat nose, thick lips, and small eyes?"

"But she has a mole on her arm."

"So do I."

Ruan's Pozi became flustered. "Since both have it, how can you say that you are Second Miss and she is an imposter?"

"It's actually simple to find out who is real and who is fake." Shu Yu looked at Ruan Shi. "I think the real Er Ya should have other marks on her body besides these two well-known moles, right?" 

(End of this chapter)

 Chapter 28: Lu Dasong

As soon as Lu Dasong arrived, Old lady Ruan in the yard had already noticed and rushed over to Shu Yu in just a few steps.

Shu Yu thought she was going to start cursing at her, but old lady Ruan  smiled at her and said, "You must be Miss Shu? It was  a misunderstanding. This is really Er Ya. Miss Shu, please let her go. Let's talk slowly."

Shu Yu turned her head suspiciously, "Do you know me?"

"I know, I heard that the Lu family had a noble guest arrive. Early in the morning, and took my son-in-law to the county to treat his leg. Hey, my daughter has finally turned her luck around. Look, with your help, she has found her long-lost daughter. This is such a good day, and there's more to come." Old lady Ruan laughed so much that the wrinkles on her face could have squeezed a fly to death.

Shu Yu finally understood why old lady Ruan was here. It turned out that she was after her.

When the Lu family had no money, they didn't come. But when they heard that they might turn their luck around, they immediately brought a fake to appear here and try to build a good relationship with their in-laws.

Old day Ruan smiled, "Miss Shu, how is my son-in-law's leg? Why didn't he come back with his mother-in-law?"

"What does it have to do with you whether they come back or not?" The person in front of her was the culprit who had stolen Er Ya and sold her to the Shu family back then. The more Shu Yu looked at her, the more she felt disgusted. "You'd better take your fake and leave, or don't blame me for being impolite."

"You..." Old lady Ruan was caught off guard by her lack of face, and the smile on her face couldn't be maintained.

The girl on the ground had already gotten up. She had seen Shu Yu's methods just now and didn't dare to rush forward to fight anymore. However, she still hid behind old lady Ruan and shouted, "Are you crazy? This is our family's business. Why should an outsider like you interfere? I don't even know you. Who are you to say that I'm fake? This is my home, and you should be the one who leaves."

"Yes, Miss Shu, you're an outsider who knows nothing about Er Ya's situation. What gives you the right to say such things? My daughter has finally found her child, and since you are a guest of the Lu family, you should offer your blessings and maybe a gift. But instead, not only do you call her a fake, you even used physical violence. That's unacceptable!"

Old lady Ruan didn't bother to pretend anymore and chimed in loudly.

She turned her head to the villagers outside and said, "Everyone, let's discuss this. Do you really think that this mother doesn't know what's best for her child, while this outsider does? My daughter hasn't said anything, but she's taking charge and even hitting and scolding me, her own mother-in-law. If you didn't know any better, you would think she's the mistress of this Lu family. Isn't that right?"

The villagers looked at each other in confusion. The information in old lady Ruan's words was overwhelming.

Could it be that Miss Shu, the outsider, has her sights set on Lu Erbai, an old man who is broke and has a lame leg?

That couldn't be possible, could it?

Everyone quickly shook their heads, but Lu Dasong couldn't take it anymore. He walked in from outside and glared at old lady Ruan, "I think you're the one talking nonsense here. With everything you've done in the past, how can you genuinely claim to have found Er Ya? I think Miss Shu's words make sense."

Old lady Ruan wasn't afraid of Lu Dasong and sneered, "Oh really? Do you know Miss Shu? Are you two close? Or is there something scandalous between you? She has no evidence to prove that Er Ya is a fake. What kind of logic is that?"

 Chapter 27: You are a fake

Shu Yu's slap not only stunned the people in the courtyard, including the old lady Ruan, but also the villagers outside who were staring in confusion.

Isn't this girl the one who came from the Lu family yesterday? What is she doing here? Does the Lu family want to recognize her as their own and take care of her?

Just then, Uncle Lu Dabao and Lu Dasong were called back from the fields and rushed over to see what was happening. They were still confused as they listened to Lu San, who was explaining the situation.

Shu Yu stood in the courtyard, frowned, and looked at the girl who was holding onto Ruan's arm. She said, "Let go."

The girl's body trembled a bit, but she still stubbornly replied, "Who are you? This is my mother, why should I let go?"

"Just because you're a fake."

Fake? This statement not only changed the expressions of Ruan and the girl, but also caused the villagers outside to start whispering to each other.

Shu Yu walked past the old lady Ruan and took steps toward Ruan and the girl.

When she got closer, she saw the girl holding onto Ruan's bony hand and reached out to pull her hand away.

"You..." The girl widened her eyes in anger and wanted to fight Shu Yu.

But she quickly realized her situation and suppressed her anger, instead looking pitifully at Ruan. "Mom, who is she? How could she treat me like this?"

Ruan Shi's fingers trembled as she grabbed the girl again and looked at Shu Yu. She opened her mouth and called out weakly, "Miss Shu."

Her expression was pleading and confused, and Shu Yu understood. Ruan Shi was not completely sure, but as Lu Erbai had said, she was already a bit crazy about Er Ya's situation.

She had an obsession in her heart, even if she knew that the other person might be fake, her subconscious still wanted to believe that she was her own daughter.

Without Lu Erbai or the old lady to wake her up, Ruan Shi walked into her own illusion and refused to come out.

Shu Yu looked at the girl beside her and saw her raise her chin proudly since she was held by Ruan Shi again. Shu Yu squinted, and this time she wasn't as gentle as before. She raised her hand and swung it directly at the girl.

"Ah..." The girl screamed in pain and quickly let go.

She was really angry now. Without saying a word, she opened her five fingers and grabbed towards Shu Yu's face with a ferocious expression.

Ruan Shi stood nearby, watching everything clearly. Instinctively, she shouted, "Miss Shu, be careful!"

Shu Yu tilted her head to avoid the attack and lifted her knee to hit the girl's stomach. While she was bent over in pain, Shu Yu kicked her legs and sent her tumbling to the ground, unable to get up.

"Wow." The villagers outside the courtyard exclaimed, "Why did they just start fighting like that?"

Lu Laosan couldn't help but touch his own leg. He had taken the best spot to watch the excitement early on, so he naturally saw everything that Shu Yu did.

Aren't women supposed to fight by scratching, biting, pulling hair, and cursing at each other? But this girl's moves were clean and neat. Clearly, she was a skilled fighter.

Fortunately, when he wanted to settle the score with her the night before, his own mother threatened him and made him go back home. Otherwise, he would have been the one lying on the ground after just a few moves.

Lu Dasong, who was standing next to him, had already heard the whole story and was about to go inside.

Although he didn't usually have much contact with the second family, with the mother and second brother both absent, and the matter of finding Er Ya, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

"Shi" (氏) is used to indicate the family name or maiden name of a person. It can also be used to refer to a married person, highlighting their marital status without explicitly mentioning their given name.

 Chapter 26: Old lady Ruan

The sudden kneel made Shu Yu, who was standing at the door, startled.

The other villagers were also taken aback and whispered to each other, "Is she really Er Ya, from Lu Lao Er's family?"

"I think so. Look at how Old lady Ruan is crying, it seems like she truly regrets what she has done."

"Old Ruan is a wicked woman, she doesn't treat Er Bai's wife well either. Is it possible that she went through all this trouble just to help her find her daughter?"

"Why else would she do it? She had no reason to deceive Er Bai's wife about this. Given the situation in Er Bai's family, what benefit would she gain from lying?"

The villagers thought about it and realized it made sense. Why would old Ruan go through all this trouble if she didn't have a good reason to?

One of the villagers asked Lu Lao San, who was just there to watch the commotion, "San Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Lao San glanced at the courtyard and smirked, "What can I say? My unfortunate niece has been missing since childhood, it's been over a decade now. Who knows what she looks like now. I certainly can't tell, but my sister-in-law should be able to recognize her own daughter, right?"

The villagers nodded, "Exactly, Er Bai's wife should know if Er Ya has any distinguishing marks on her."

Just then, Old lady Ruan happened to lift the girl's sleeve and said to Ruan Shi, "Look, my child. Look at her arm, are these two moles not the same as when she was a child? She's been through a lot outside, look how thin she is, so pitiful."

When Ruan Shi saw the girl's arm, her eyes widened in disbelief. She quickly grabbed the girl who had been helped up by Madam Ruan and asked in a trembling voice, "You, you really are Er Ya?"

The girl nodded and cried, "Mom, Er Ya missed you so much. I've been wandering outside for all these years, always wondering where my parents are and why they haven't found me yet. I really wanted to go home. It rained and thundered outside, and there were so many bad people who bullied me, beat me, and didn't give me any food. I was so hungry that I had to drink water to fill my stomach. I had nowhere to sleep, so I curled up under the bridge. It was really like shouting into the void and praying to a deaf god."

"Stop, don't say anymore," Ruan Shi couldn't bear it. She had been thinking about this scene day and night, it was breaking her heart.

The girl saw her distress and quickly held her, "Okay, I won't say anymore. Mom, I'm back now, our family is reunited, and I have a father, a mother, and a home. I'm not alone anymore."

Old lady Ruan nodded repeatedly on the side and said, "Yes, yes, seeing you mother and daughter reunite makes me feel much better too."

Ruan Shi was supported by two people, one on each side. Her head was pounding, and her thoughts were in chaos.

Lu Erbai and the old lady were both absent, and she was no match for old lady Ruan. She didn't even have a chance to speak, as she was interrupted by old lady Ruan who didn't give her any opportunity to ask the questions she had in mind.

old lady Ruan even ran up to Da Hu and San Ya, looked at them with a kind smile, holding two candies in her hand that she didn't know how long she had kept them, and said, "Da Hu, San Ya, your second sister has returned. Are you happy? Come on, these are candies that grandma prepared for you. They will make your mouth sweet."

The twins looked at each other and couldn't help but take a step back.

old lady Ruan's face flashed with displeasure, but she quickly put on a smile again and said, "Take it, this is specially bought by grandma for you to eat."

As soon as she finished speaking, the candies in her hand were suddenly slapped to the ground.

old lady Ruan exclaimed, "Who is so ignorant!"

As she lifted her head, she met the cold gaze of Shu Yu.

(End of this chapter)

 Chapter 25: Has Er Ya Returned?

Shu Yu sat on the ox cart with the rice and flour placed on the board of the cart, swaying as they headed towards Shishi village.

Although Da Niu was a shy and introverted person, he unexpectedly had a good business sense. Along the way, they also picked up a few villagers who were heading towards Shishi village, and each person paid a penny for the fare. After all, although the ox cart was borrowed, they still had to pay rent, which added up to ten pennies for the round trip. This rent made the old lady very distressed.

However, Da Niu earned four pennies on the way back and was quite happy about it. When they arrived at Shishi village, there were only Da Niu, Shu Yu, and another woman from Shishi village left in the cart.

Who knew that just as they entered the village, a villager ran up to them and asked, "Da Niu, have you come back? How about your grandmother and your second uncle?"

Da Niu was stunned for a moment and said, "My second uncle is getting treatment for his leg in the county town and can't come back for the time being. My grandmother is taking care of him. What's wrong, Aunt Fang?"

"Ah, your second uncle's family is in trouble," Aunt Fang said.

Before Da Niu could speak, Shu Yu frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Aunt Ruan from the Ruan family came again, and this time she brought a girl with her, claiming that she was Er Ya who was abducted and sold by her back then. Now she has found her and they are both at your second uncle's house," Aunt Fang replied.

"What?!" Shu Yu jumped off the cart abruptly and exclaimed, "You mean Er Ya has been brought back by her?"

Aunt Fang only noticed that Shu Yu's attitude was abnormal at this point, and nodded subconsciously, "Yes, that's right."

Shu Yu immediately said to Da Niu, "You bring the things back for me. I'll go and take a look first."

Without waiting for anyone to react, she ran straight towards the Lu family's house.

They didn't react in time, and when they snapped out of it, Shu Yu had already disappeared without a trace.

He didn't have time to think too much and quickly pulled the cart towards the village.

When Shu Yu arrived at the Lu family's house, many villagers had already gathered outside.

At a glance, she saw the Lu family's third son and his wife standing in front of the gate.

Shu Yu's lips twitched, and she squeezed through the crowd to get a clear view of the scene in the courtyard.

An old woman with slightly graying hair sat on a stool, wiping her tears as she cried and wailed, "My child, it's all my fault, mother was blinded by greed back then and did such wicked things, causing you to suffer for so many years. You haven't visited us in more than a decade, and my heart has been in pain too."

Ruan Shi was a bit bewildered, with Da Hu and San Ya standing on her left and right sides. San Ya held Ruan Shi's hand tightly, obviously afraid of the old woman.

Da Hua, on the other hand, pursed his lips tightly and alternated his gaze between Ruan Shi and the old woman.

The old woman continued to cry, her voice getting louder, "I've been trying my best to make amends all these years, but I know you won't forgive me unless we find Er Ya. I don't have the face to come to your doorstep. But now, Er Ya has found you, and you can reunite with your daughter. Our mother-daughter relationship can also be reconciled."

As she spoke, the old woman pushed a thin girl next to her forward. "This is Er Ya, your daughter. Look for yourself, isn't she quite similar to you and son-in-law?"

Shu Yu squinted and glanced at the girl. She didn't resemble them in the slightest, from her eyes to her nose and mouth.

Ruan Shi also stared at the girl in a daze.

The girl suddenly rushed forward and knelt down in front of Ruan Shi with a thud, then raised her head and wailed, "Mother, your daughter has finally found you!" 

(End of chapter)

 Chapter 24: Shu Yu Goes Shopping

When the old lady heard that Shu Yu was returning to Shishi Village, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

She admitted to being a bit selfish, fearing that Shu Yu would never return after leaving, and without the diagnosis fee, they would not be able to treat the Lu Erbai leg.

The old lady quickly instructed Da Niu, "Take good care of Miss Shu, don't drive too fast, understand?"

"Yes, Grandma don't worry," Da Niu assured her.

It was already late, and after all the commotion, everyone was hungry. When the old lady came, she brought coarse cornbread as dry food, and also brought some leftover meat from yesterday as a side dish for Shu Yu, while she and Da Niu would have it with pickled vegetables.

She wanted to prepare something better for Shu Yu, but they couldn't afford it at home, so they had to make do.

Shu Yu declined the food and urged the old lady to eat the remaining meat before it spoiled. She then stood up and prepared to go out. "I have to go out and take a walk. I'll be back soon."

Shu Yu didn't go far. She ate a bowl of noodles at a street stall and then went to the rice shop. Since the Lu family should be running out of food by now, she needed to buy some food for herself since she was returning to Shishi Village.

To be honest, Shu Yu's appetite was still good, but she didn't feel comfortable eating too much at the Lu family's expense.

Shu Yu bought a bag of rice, a small bag of noodles, a small pot of oil (as the vegetables from yesterday didn't have much oil), and a piece of pork from the market.

As someone who had been hungry during childhood, Shu Yu didn't want to skimp on herself now.

Shu Yu didn't bring a basket, so she already had her hands full with these items. But when she passed by the grocery store, she couldn't help but think of the Lu family's damaged bowls. The dishes from last night were rich in variety, and San Ya ate too fast and accidentally cut her mouth on the chipped edges.

Shu Yu couldn't resist and went in to buy a few sets of bowls.

Although she didn't have much money, her shopping desire was unstoppable.

She needed to find a way to make money as soon as possible. Not only did Lu Er Bai need money for his leg treatment, but in three months, Shu Yu would be facing exile, and she would need money for her preparations.

Shu Yu surveyed the large county town, pondering how to make a quick fortune in a short amount of time.

However, the things in her hands were a bit heavy. It seemed like she would have to find another opportunity to conduct market research.

Shu Yu returned to the clinic carrying rice, noodles, oil, and meat. Lu Erbai had already woken up and was eating the food prepared by the clinic. The medical fees that Doctor Xu had mentioned included the cost of accommodation and food.

However, as an elderly companion, the cost of accommodation was saved, but she still had to pay for her meals.

The old lady was surprised to see the things in Shu Yu's hands. "Miss Shu, what is this for?"

"Oh, I just wanted to buy some snacks."

The old lady's expression was complicated. Although that was what she said, she knew that Shu Yu would bring it back to the Lu family, and everyone would share it.

Shu Yu was a truly honest person. She was grateful not only to Lu Erbai, but also to the entire Lu family.

But the old lady had her own selfish motives. There was nothing to eat at home, and it was okay to let Ruan Shi go hungry, but it would be nice if Da Hu and San Ya could have a good meal.

Therefore, the old lady didn't say much. She saw that it was getting late and asked Da Niu to bring out the ox cart so they could hurry back to Shishi village. 

Shu Yu found Doctor Xu alone and asked him to help prepare the old lady's meals. She would settle the medical fees and the cost of food together when she came back.

After all, it was only a small amount of money. Why make the old lady work harder than necessary?

(End of chapter)

Chapter 23: Shu Yu's Plan

Doctor Xu grunted and looked at everyone before finally fixing his gaze on Shu Yu.

"If you want me to treat him, there are some things I need to say upfront. My consultation and medicine fees are not low, and I assume you've inquired about them. Not to mention the bone resetting, the follow-up care will also require continued spending. Let me estimate for you, for a complete cure, it won't be less than fifteen taels of silver."

Shu Yu hadn't spoken yet, but the old lady and Lu Erbai both took in a sharp breath.

Fifteen taels? That's an amount they couldn't possibly produce.

The old lady thought that they could barely manage with six or seven taels at most, as long as their family worked hard and scraped by.

But now, hearing what Doctor Xu meant, fifteen taels was the minimum, and they might even need to spend more later.

Treating this leg was too expensive for an ordinary household to afford.

Doctor Xu didn't care about their reactions, as he could tell that Shu Yu was the decision-maker here. He said to her, "Don't worry, although the consultation fee is high, the medicine I'll use is of good quality, and I guarantee that his leg will be completely healed."

The old lady hurriedly asked, "Can we use cheaper medicine instead?"

Shu Yu intervened and stopped the old lady, "No, we will use the good medicine. Don't worry about the consultation fee. Doctor Xu can go ahead and begin treating him now. Here are five taels of silver."

"Miss Shu..." The old lady wanted to say something else, but Shu Yu shook her head at her.

"Uncle Lu's leg cannot be delayed any longer. Only when his leg is healed, can we have a better future."

Doctor Xu nodded, "The girl is right. We need to cure the leg before we can think about the future."

He beckoned for the medicine boy to come over and, together with Da Niu, carried Lu Er Bai inside.

Shu Yu and the old lady remained outside, while Da Niu helped inside.

Just thinking about breaking bones and resetting them made it clear how painful it would be.

Plus, the anesthetic's effect was not very good nowadays. When they heard Lu Er Bai's screams from inside, the old lady's legs went weak with fright.

Shu Yu has sharp eyes and quick hands. She quickly supported the person and said, ''Let's go sit over there.''

The soundproofing here is not very good. Not only can you hear it inside the clinic, but you can also hear it from the outside on the road. Shu Yu even saw passersby trembling with suspicion, looking towards the clinic.

After a while, Da Niu came out first. He was driven out by Doctor Xu. His face was pale as if he had suffered a great shock.

The old lady poured him a glass of water. He drank it gulpingly and spoke with lingering fear, ''Grandma, it's alright. Doctor Xu said that Second Uncle's leg has been reattached, and they are currently fixing it in place. However, Doctor Xu also said that Second Uncle cannot move now. It's best for him to stay in the clinic for a few days until he stabilizes before going back.''

"Stay in the clinic?" The old lady frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll stay here to take care of him today. Da Niu, you can return the ox cart to the village chief's house later and tell your Second Aunt about it."

"Okay."

The old lady then looked at Shu Yu and asked, "Miss Shu, what are your plans?"

"I'll go back to Shishi Village." She had already gone to Shishi Village late yesterday, and there were still some things she didn't quite understand. Since the old lady and Lu Erbai were staying in the county, she decided to go back and inquire further.

However, what Shu Yu didn't know was that it was precisely because of this decision that she had avoided another disaster for the Lu family.

(End of this chapter)

 Chapter 22: Treating the Leg

Originally, Da Ya lived with the old lady before she got married.

Now there is still a bed board in the room, piled up with some sundries.

The old lady cleaned up her own room for Shu Yu to live in. She took her bedding and went out, saying that she was going to live with the old head of the family.

Shu Yu couldn't stop her, so she had to let her go.

It seems that she can't stay at the Lu family tomorrow. It's unreasonable for her to stay for one night and not only eat up the Lu family's food, but also drive away the host.

Shu Yu originally thought that she would have a lot of things in her mind and probably couldn't sleep, but she had the most peaceful sleep since she came to her a year ago.

When she woke up the next day, everyone else had already packed up, and Ruan Shi had even come back after washing her clothes.

Shu Yu suddenly sat up, rubbing her face in disbelief.

Oh no, today, Lu Erbai will go to the county town to have his leg treated. Has she delayed the matter by sleeping until now?

Shu Yu quickly got up, dressed, opened the door, and sure enough, everyone was already waiting for her.

But the old lady said not to worry and let her take her time.

Shu Yu couldn't take her time. The kitchen had prepared breakfast for her, and she ate a few bites before setting off.

Lu Erbai and the old lady went to the county town this time, and Ruan Shi stayed at home to take care of the two children.

Although Ruan Shi also wanted to go, Lu Erbai was going to seek treatment, and the whole family going out together would be too much of a delay.

Shu Yu went with them because she wasn't sure if the rumored "bone doctor" really had the ability. If he was just someone seeking fame, Lu Erbai's leg would be in real trouble if it were to be messed up again.

The ox cart was parked outside, borrowed by the old lady the day before.

A young man was driving the cart. The old lady introduced him, saying, "This is the eldest son's son Da Niu. Since we don't know how to drive, I asked him to come and help."

The young man looked simple and honest, not daring to look at Shu Yu much. He sat on the cart, chuckled a few times, and only started driving the cart after everyone was seated.

On the road, many people were watching them. Many gazes were focused on Shu Yu, whispering and discussing something about her.

Shu Yu didn't mind and just asked about Lu Erbai's leg. Lu Erbai only said it hurt a bit, probably from yesterday's fall.

Although the ox driver didn't say anything, the speed slowed down. Shu Yu was surprised. This person seemed quiet, but was actually attentive.

When the group arrived at the county town, it was already midday and the whole town was bustling.

Following the address they had asked about, they arrived at the clinic of Doctor Xu.

It was called a clinic, but it was actually a very small shop. Inside were only Doctor Xu and his apprentice, and a whole row of medicine cabinets on the wall, which looked quite spectacular.

Perhaps because Doctor Xu's fees were too high, there were two customers picking up medicine in the shop, but not a single patient.

Shu Yu and the others entered, and Doctor Xu glanced up and without much small talk, had Lu Erbai sit aside and immediately took his pulse and checked his injury.

Shu Yu had been watching his expression all the while. In a moment, Doctor Xu stood up and said, "The bone is dislocated and needs to be reset."

He described some symptoms that were even more detailed than what Shu Yu had said.

Shu Yu felt relieved, and the old lady was even more angry. "That Yan Langzhong has indeed harmed people."

Doctor Xu was not interested in listening to her scolding and asked directly, "Will you treat him?"

The old lady looked at Shu Yu. After all, it was her money.

"Of course we'll treat him!" Shu Yu nodded without hesitation.
