Chapter 103: Looking for Daya

It was getting late. The two of them packed their things and prepared to head back.
The mule carriage was driven by Daniu. He knew how to drive an ox cart but had only tried driving a mule carriage just this morning.
The young man was very enthusiastic about this. Shu Yu happened to be tired after walking for a day, so she leaned against the carriage to rest.
However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she inexplicably thought of Zhang Shu whom she met today.
Shu Yu instantly straightened up and frowned.
Daniu, who was on the shaft of the carriage, heard the commotion and asked her through the curtain, “Yu, what’s wrong? Am I going too fast?” “No,” Shu Yu stuck her head out and said to him, “Let’s go to Dayan Village.” “Dayan Village?” Daniu was surprised, “You want to look for Daya?”
Shu Yu nodded, “It just so happens that we have a mule carriage, so we’re not afraid of traveling. I have something that I want to give to her.”
She left two boxes of makeup in the carriage, which she wanted to send to Daya with this opportunity. While she was at it, she wanted to see how her sister was doing.
Daniu happily replied, “Alright, Daya came back in a hurry last time and we didn’t even have time to say a few words. We can also tell her the good news about the shop opening. If the Zhang family knows about it, they will treat her much better in the future.’
Shu Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. As expected, Daniu was actually a very sensitive youth.
He knew that Daya’s life was not good. Part of the reason might be that she did not have children yet. Another reason was that the Zhang family knew about the Lu family’s situation and felt that even if Daya was wronged, the Lu family could not support her since they couldn’t even take care of themselves.
This time, they would let the Zhang family know that the Lu family was living a good life now. If they dared to bully Daya again, the Lu family would not let them off.
Daniu quickly pulled the reins and turned to the left.
With the mule carriage, the speed was indeed much faster. It did not take long for the carriage to stop at the entrance of Dayan Village.
Unlike Shangshi Village, Dayan Village’s entrance was connected by a bridge. An ox cart could enter if one drove slowly, but Shu Yu’s mule carriage was relatively large and thus inconvenient to cross the bridge.
Therefore, the two of them parked the mule carriage at the entrance of the village and walked into the village.
Shu Yu didn’t know where the Zhang family was. After crossing the bridge, she asked Daniu to lead the way.
The two of them had not walked far when Daniu suddenly pointed ahead and said, “That seems to be Daya.”
Shu Yu looked up and saw Daya washing clothes by the stream.
Daniu quickly waved his hand and called out to her, “Daya, Daya…”
However, the stream was turbulent and the sound of the water was loud. Many people were also washing clothes and talking by the stream. As such, not only did Daya not hear him, but she even turned around and left after washing the last piece of clothing.
“Hey,” Daniu could only put down his hand and said to Shu Yu, “Let’s catch up quickly.”
Unfortunately, the two of them were too far away. By the time they caught up, Daya had already turned into the center of the village and disappeared.
The two of them could only go to the Zhang family by themselves. The Zhang family was a little far from the stream. They had to pa.s.s through the center of the village and go to the other side of the stream.
The last time Daniu came was a year ago. At that time, he had rushed over to tell Daya about Lu Erbai’s leg injury. He wasn’t familiar with Dayan Village, and he even went to the wrong place once.
Therefore, even though the two of them were fast, by the time they arrived at the Zhang family, Daya had already entered the residence.
Shu Yu took two quick steps and stood at the entrance of the Zhang family’s courtyard. She realized that the courtyard door was already closed. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard voices coming from inside. “Sister-in-law, didn’t you leave any food for me in the kitchen?”
This was… Daya’s timid and helpless voice..
