Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Seriously

“Don’t ever do this again.”

Su Yunjin finally choked out a sentence.

“Yes!” Gu Ya nodded, his tone carrying a rare seriousness, “Yunjin, rest assured, I will never let you worry again in the future.”

A bride is brought into the household to be cherished, not to be frightened and worried.

This incident was an accident.

Next time, Gu Ya was determined not to let such an accident happen again.

Under Gu Ya’s earnest gaze, Su Yunjin felt a bit awkward and withdrew her hand from his.

“You haven’t taken your medicine yet! I’m going to prepare it for you now.” Once again picking up the bundle of herbs from the table, Su Yunjin was ready to go to the kitchen to help Gu Ya with his medication.

In the past, when the people of the Gu Family worked the fields, Su Yunjin would cook for the whole Gu Family.

Now that Gu Ya’s leg was lame, and Su Yunjin had gone to the market early in the morning to get medicine for Gu Ya, not knowing when she would return, Mrs. An arranged for the fifth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chu, to come back and cook for everyone.

As Su Yunjin walked into the courtyard with the medicine, she happened to see Mrs. Chu, who had returned to prepare meals for everyone.

Upon seeing Su Yunjin, Mrs. Chu walked over with a smile, “Third sister-in-law, how is third brother’s leg? Is it getting better?”

“I have already gone to the market this morning to get the medicine for my husband.” Su Yunjin did not say that Gu Ya’s leg was already fine but just mentioned that she had retrieved the medicine for Gu Ya.

Mrs. Chu looked at Su Yunjin’s hand and, seeing the bundle of herbs, knew that Su Yunjin was probably going to the kitchen to brew the medicine for her third brother, Gu Ya.

Grabbing Su Yunjin’s hand, Mrs. Chu said, “It just so happens that I’m going to the kitchen to cook. Third sister-in-law, you can prepare the medicine for third brother. It’s perfect; we can both be busy in the kitchen together.”

Su Yunjin did not dislike her sister-in-law, Mrs. Chu, and let herself be led by Mrs. Chu to the kitchen.

The kitchen of the Gu Family was not like those of the average household in the village, where normally, there was no separate stove for medicine. However, the Gu Family had one.

Gu Ya and his father, one lame and one paralyzed, both needed to take medicine. Gu Ya was alright, not needing it daily, but ever since his father had fallen down the mountain, he had not stopped needing medicinal concoctions.

With two family members nearly needing medicine every day, it was natural to have a special stove for brewing it.

The Gu Family had two stoves made.

One was normally used to prepare medicine for Gu Ya, and the other was specifically for his father’s use.

The sisters-in-law entered the kitchen, with Mrs. Chu going to cook and Su Yunjin busy preparing Gu Ya’s medicine.

There were medicine residues in the medicinal stove, probably from the useless prescriptions given by Doctor Liu for Gu Ya’s lame leg.

Su Yunjin sensed that although taking the medicine in the stove would not harm the body, it was of no benefit to Gu Ya’s injury.

In other words, the medicine was completely off-target, and taking it was a waste of time.

Thinking back to the scenes of Doctor Liu treating Gu Ya’s leg and then looking at the residues in the medicinal stove, Su Yunjin felt a renewed sense of sympathy for Gu Ya.

The medicine inside the stove definitely couldn’t be used again, so Su Yunjin first cleaned the medicinal stove before starting to brew a new batch of medicine for Gu Ya.

Mrs. Chu, having lit the fire, promptly washed the pots, rinsed the rice, and cooked, and several times Su Yunjin felt Mrs. Chu glancing at her, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Finally, when Mrs. Chu looked at her again, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, what is it? Do you have something you want to say to me?”

“Third sister-in-law, I…?” Now that third brother Gu Ya’s legs were both broken, and third sister-in-law was already pitiful enough, Mrs. Chu hesitated, unsure whether to tell Su Yunjin about the first sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, and the fourth sister-in-law, Mrs. Han, causing trouble in the fields about dividing the family.
