Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Intentions
As Su Yunjin recalled Gu Yan, it seemed like ever since she had transmigrated, Gu Yan had been rather nice to her, protecting her in every possible way within the Gu Family.
“Second sister, my husband has been quite good to me!” Su Yunjin spoke truthfully.
Su Ningxiu had originally been worried that her brother-in-law might mistreat her younger sister, but hearing Su Yunjin’s words, she finally felt relieved, smiled, and took Su Yunjin’s hand. “Younger sister, if your husband is good to you, that’s wonderful.”
As long as her brother-in-law was good to her younger sister, Su Ningxiu felt happy for her, but when she thought about how her stepmother intended to sell her to Old Master Huang, who was nearly sixty, her eyes darkened.
“Younger sister, what should I do? Stepmother is going to sell me to Old Master Huang, and they certainly won’t let it go easily.”
Although she had been temporarily released by her parents and younger sister, what would happen if her stepmother, Mrs. Tao, came back? What if she tried to bind her and sell her to Old Master Huang again?
Su Yunjin could see Su Ningxiu’s worries and immediately said, “Second sister, don’t be afraid. With me here, I won’t let Mrs. Tao and the others sell you to that old man, Old Master Huang.”
“But, stepmother has already accepted Old Master Huang’s silver! She definitely won’t agree to give it back!” Over the years, once silver ended up in Mrs. Tao’s hands, there was no chance of it being returned.
When Su Ningxiu was locked up in the firewood room, Mrs. Tao threatened her several times, saying she had already taken Old Master Huang’s silver, and regardless of whether Su Ningxiu agreed, she would have to marry Old Master Huang.
“Second sister, what’s it to us if Mrs. Tao has taken the silver? It’s not like we received Old Master Huang’s silver. Since it was Mrs. Tao who received it, let her go marry him!”
And truth be told, Old Master Huang’s age was indeed well-suited for their step-grandmother, Mrs. Tao. The two of them together would actually make a decent match.
With that said, Su Yunjin managed to make Su Ningxiu laugh out loud.

Mrs. Shen, who had finished cooking, came knocking on the door just in time to hear the sisters laughing together inside the room, “Yun’er, Ningxiu, lunch is ready! Have you finished applying the medicine? If you have, come out and eat together!”
“Mother, we’re coming!” Su Yunjin put away the rest of the ointment and then walked out together with her sister, Su Ningxiu.
Usually, the Su Family only ate brown rice meals with vegetables, and at most, some fish they caught from the river. The rivers were abundant near Su Family village and catching fish was much easier than in the mountains where the Gu Family lived, but recently, there had been no catch, and naturally, there was no fish to eat.
With her daughter-in-law and son-in-law present, Mrs. Shen felt she couldn’t make the lunch look too shabby, so she steeled herself, clenched her teeth, and took out two eggs to make fried eggs.
A bowl of vegetables, fried eggs, and two steamed sweet potatoes—the meal was quite a feast by the Su Family standards. After a simple meal, Su Xiang’e was ready to leave. After seeing off Su Xiang’e, Su Yunjin became curious why Gu Yan would bring ointment with him and casually asked, “Husband, why did you bring the ointment sister-in-law gave you?”
Why had he brought the ointment with him?
Of course, it was for his little wife!
If his little wife was going to sleep at her mother’s house tonight!
Then, naturally, he would also stay at the Su Family to accompany his little wife!
These past few days, Su Yunjin had been applying the ointment to him, and Gu Yan had really enjoyed that feeling. Bringing the ointment with him meant that he could continue to have his little wife apply it at night! However, he definitely wouldn’t share his true intentions with his little wife. Glancing sideways at his little wife, Gu Yan said, “I brought it on a whim, not expecting that it would just so happen to be useful for your sister.”
