Chapter 8
The scar on the face of the little girl in front of her was not big, but she did not seem to have dealt with it. If it was treated properly, it would be easily recovered.
Shu Yu helped her up and asked, “What’s your name? Is your father called Lu Erbai?”
The little girl nodded in a daze, her mind still thinking about what the big sister had said.
After a long while, she came back to her senses and said in a low voice, “My, my name is Sanya.
“Sanya, can you take me to your house?” Shu Yu picked up the basket on the ground.
Sanya immediately went to get it, “I’ll carry it.”
“It’s okay, I can walk faster with it.”
If she was not wrong, this was probably his younger sister.
Sanya still wanted to take the basket, but when she saw her dirty hands and Shu Yu’s clean and tidy clothes, she retracted her hands.
Shu Yu then handed a piece of malt candy to the child who had pointed out Sanya to her just now. As for the others, they didn’t get a single piece at all, given their naughty actions just now.
The child was so happy that he jumped three feet high. Without a word, he stuffed the malt candy into his mouth, then sighed in satisfaction, “It’s delicious.”
The other children looked at him enviously, and their eager eyes fell on Shu Yu.
Even Sanya couldn’t control her gaze when she saw the malt candy in the child’s mouth.
Shu Yu also handed her one. Sanya was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and hurried home, “I, I’ll take you to my house now.”
Shu Yu smiled. The little girl was quite able to resist temptation.
She followed behind her. After walking for a while, Sanya suddenly remembered to ask, “Big sister, you, why do you want to go to my house? Do you know my father?”
Her voice was soft as if she was afraid that asking this would make Shu Yu angry. After asking, Sanya hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
Shu Yu carried the pigweed in one hand and the sweets and meat in the other. She replied, “Your father helped me before. I just found out where he lives, so I came to see him.”
Sanya replied with an “oh” and raised her head to look at the bid sister again. Without paying attention, she fell to the ground again.
Shu Yu frowned. This child tripped too easily.
There were many reasons for a child to trip so easily. Judging from Sanya’s appearance, it was very likely that it was caused by malnutrition and calcium deficiency.
Sanya seemed to be used to it. She got up in a practiced manner and said in a panic, “S-sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing to me?”
Sanya was stunned. That’s right, why did she apologize?
She was probably already used to it. Usually, the word she said the most was “sorry”.
Shu Yu couldn’t help but think of her childhood. She had often apologized to Ms. Xue. In fact, when she saw Sanya just now, she had already confirmed her identity.
Little Shu Yu had been exactly the same as Sanya now. Back then, she was also starving and thin, just like her.
Looking at Sanya, Shu Yu could not harden her heart.
Even if her biological parents had sold her when she was young, it had nothing to do with this little girl.
Shu Yu stuffed the malt candy directly into Sanya’s mouth. The little girl’s eyes widened in disbelief, and the sweetness in her mouth made her feel like she was dreaming.
She wanted to say something, but Shu Yu quickly said, “Don’t let it fall out. Otherwise, it’ll be wasted.”
Sanya quickly covered her mouth and stared with her big round eyes. A moment later, the corners of her eyes curved up slightly, and her eyebrows revealed joy, “…It’s so sweet.”
Shu Yu couldn’t help but smile, “Let’s go. Lead the way.”
