When the old lady heard that Shu Yu was returning to Shangshi Village, she could not help but feel relieved.
She admitted that she was selfish. She was afraid that Shu Yu would never come back after leaving, and consequently, her second son's leg could not be treated since they did not have the money.
The old lady quickly instructed Daniu, "Take good care of Miss Shu. Don't drive the cart too fast, understand?"
"Grandma, I know," Daniu promised, "Don't worry."
It was getting late, and they were all hungry from all the activity. The old lady had brought with her some coarse-flour steamed buns from home as rations. She also brought the leftover meat from yesterday especially for Shu Yu to eat as a side dish, while she and Daniu ate the steamed bun with pickled vegetables.
She did want to prepare something better for Shu Yu, but there really was nothing good at home, so she could only make do.
