Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Stay Behind
Before Su Ningxiu’s troubles had been fully resolved, Su Yunjin was not yet planning to return to the Gu Family from the Su Family. Without selling her second sister to Old Master Huang, Mrs. Tao would definitely not give up easily.
And her parents were both weak and easy to bully, surely unable to protect her second sister. It was necessary for her to stay in order to ensure her sister’s safety. This time, by staying, Su Yunjin intended not only to help her second sister, Su Ningxiu, resolve this issue successfully, but also to use this opportunity to teach her parents to stand up for themselves. They couldn’t keep being pushovers, letting Mrs. Tao manipulate and order them around without restraint.
Otherwise, even if her second sister’s issue was successfully resolved this time, what about next time? What if next time their grandmother wanted to marry off Ningxiu to some Old Master Zhang or Old Master Wang, what then? It wasn’t possible for her to return every time. In order to fundamentally solve this problem, it was essential to teach her parents to resist.
However, Su Yunjin knew that Mrs. Tao had oppressed her parents for over a decade, and they had developed a deep-rooted nature of not daring to fight back. Teaching her parents to stand up for themselves would have to be a gradual process.
Deciding to stay with the Su Family, Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya and said, “My husband, my second sister’s matter is not yet resolved, and I plan to temporarily stay at the Su Family. I will go back to the Gu Family after my second sister’s issue is settled. If you wish to go back now, you can leave first.”
If his little wife was staying at her maiden home, why would he go back alone? Gu Ya naturally planned to stay with his wife at the Su Family, “Yunjin, your second sister’s problem is my problem too. If you want to stay at the Su Family, then I’ll stay with you for a few days as well! Once your second sister’s matter is completely resolved, we’ll go back together.”
Seeing Gu Ya agree to stay, Su Yunjin secretly thought that having Gu Ya, a grown man, there to help them wasn’t a bad idea. So when Gu Ya said he wanted to stay with her at the Su Family, Su Yunjin didn’t object, “Alright, then let’s stay together!”
“Third sister, what are you and brother-in-law talking about?” Su Xiaobao ran over to Su Yunjin’s side, looking up at her obediently. With her third sister back home, Su Xiaobao liked sticking to her.
Looking at the approaching Su Xiaobao, Su Yunjin smiled and gently touched his head, saying, “Your brother-in-law and I are talking about staying to spend a few more days with you all!”
“Really? Sister, are you and brother-in-law truly going to stay?” Upon hearing that Su Yunjin was going to stay at the Su Family for a couple more days, Su Xiaobao’s eyes lit up, his face full of excitement and anticipation.
Mrs. Shen approached and also heard Su Yunjin’s words, “Yunjin, do you and your husband really plan to stay for a couple more days?” Although Mrs. Shen didn’t show the same excitement as her son, Su Xiaobao, it was evident she was very happy. It was rare for her daughter and son-in-law to return after their marriage and be able to stay at the Su Family for a few days longer.
However, Mrs. Shen then considered that it was a busy time for farming, and with Su Yunjin and her husband staying without going back to help with the farm work, she worried it might cause dissatisfaction from their in-laws and other family members, so she quickly added, “Yunjin, is it really okay for you and your husband both to stay? Won’t your in-laws have any objections?”
Even though Mrs. Shen herself wanted her daughter and son-in-law to stay at her home for a few more days, she was afraid that such a decision might cause issues for her daughter at her in-laws’ home.

“Mother, you can rest assured and let Yunjin stay at her maiden home. My parents will not say anything!” Before Su Yunjin could speak, Gu Ya chimed in, addressing Mrs. Shen.
Su Ningxiu also wished for her younger sister to stay at their maiden home for a few more days so the sisters could spend time together, “Mother, since brother-in-law has already said so, you can be at ease and let our little sister and brother-in-law stay.”
