Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Madam Liang looked in the direction of the courtyard and then pulled Shu Yu to the side mysteriously. She whispered, “Just now, your aunt came.”
“My aunt?”
Lu Sixing?
Speaking of which, Shu Yu had been back for so many days, but she had yet to see her fourth aunt.
Madam Liang nodded.
“Not long after you left, your aunt came over and started crying to the old lady the moment she entered. She cried for a long time. I don’t know what has happened, but it sounded quite serious. After your aunt left, your grandma stayed in the house and didn’t come out. There was no movement inside at all.
I was wondering how your grandma is doing.”
Shu Yu almost couldn’t help but hit her, “Then why are you sneaking around outside and not going in to take a look?”
She pushed her away and hurried into the courtyard.
Madma Liang followed her into the house and explained, “l i m just afraid that your grandma will scold me. She loves scolding me.”
Isn’t that because she was unreliable? Just look at the situation now.
Shu Yu ignored her and strode towards the living room.
As soon as she entered, she saw the old lady sitting there with her head in her hand and a worried look on her face.
“Grandma?” Shu Yu walked over and sized her up. Seeing that the old lady was fine except for her pale face, she was slightly relieved.
The old lady was stunned. When she looked up and saw Shu Yu and Madam Liang, who came in later, she suddenly came back to her senses.
“Oh my, it’s already so late?” The old lady stood up while saying, “I wasn’t paying attention. Come, let me cook you a bowl of noodles.”
She was about to leave when Shu Yu pulled her back, “Grandma, what happened?”
The old lady smiled, “Nothing. What could possibly happen to me? Nothing happened.”
Shu Yu looked at her with a serious expression.
The old lady could speak to others with a stern face, but she could not do it to Shu Yu.
She looked at the smart and capable granddaughter in front of her and finally sighed. She sat back on the chair and said with a bitter smile, “It’s your fourth aunt. She just came over.”
Shu Yu nodded, “Something happened to Fourth Aunt’s family?”
The old lady replied, “Yes. Your fourth uncle is missing.”
Missing?
Not only was Shu Yu shocked, but even Madam Liang, who was standing behind, widened her eyes and covered her mouth.
“What happened? What does missing mean? When did he go missing?”
The old lady said, “Do you still remember the day you acknowledge us as your family? Your fourth aunt and fourth uncle said they would come, but they didn’t. They only asked someone to bring eggs over.”
Shu Yu nodded, “I remember.”
“In fact, your fourth uncle had gone out before the whole matter. I heard from your fourth aunt that a friend of his found a good job, something to do with delivering goods somewhere. The salary was quite high. Your fourth uncle just split up with their family last year and wanted to start a small business. He didn’t have the capital, so he thought about saving more money first. It was rare to have such a good opportunity, so he was tempted.”
The old lady shook her head with a bitter expression, “The original plan was to come back the day before you acknowledged us as your family. At that time, they would be able to catch up with us for a reunion dinner.”
Shu Yu understood, “But he didn’t come back that day?”
The old lady slammed the table, “Yes! He didn’t come back the day before, nor did he come back on that day itself. Your fourth aunt was worried and couldn’t bring herself to leave the house. Sheesh, your fourth aunt is really something. To think she didn’t tell us about such a big matter. We didn’t know that he hadn’t returned these days.”
“Then why did Fourth Aunt come looking for you today?”
