Bab 552: Lending Money ( 3 )

Hearing Mother Lu's words, Zhao Ya raised her head and said, "Paternal aunt, I'm sorry."

Mother Lu was confused by her sudden apology and asked, "What are you apologizing for?"

She clasped her hands together, avoided Mother Lu's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said guiltily, "Paternal aunt, can you not tell my father-in-law and husband about me borrowing food from the neighbors?"

Mother Lu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? Don't they know about this?"

Seeing her standing there with her head lowered and silent, Mother Lu asked again, "Have you sent food to your parent's family using the Song family's food?"

Hearing her question, Zhao Ya quickly raised her head and said in panic, "Paternal aunt, I don't dare. We have really been short of food these years."

Mother Lu recalled the situation at her eldest brother's home and frowned. Although they can't eat until they are full, they should be fine with two meals a day.
