Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Sneer Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Sneer “Sister-in-law, if my eldest sister-in-law says anything later, please don’t take it to heart,” she said, “They’re just that kind of people; there’s no need for you and third brother to bother with them.”
She just couldn’t bear it.
Mrs. Chu still hadn’t told Su Yunjin about the eldest and fourth sister-in-law making a fuss about splitting the family property at this critical time.
Su Yunjin thought it was something serious,
Turns out it was just this matter!
Although Mrs. Chu didn’t spell it out clearly, Su Yunjin could still tell that today in the fields, her outrageous eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, and sister-in-law, Mrs. Han, must have been stirring up trouble about dividing the property in front of their mother-in-law, Mrs. An.
Mrs. Chu was afraid she would be upset!
But she didn’t know that Su Yunjin was actually eager to split from the Gu Family quickly!
If Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han made a big fuss, it would save her the trouble and allow her to separate from the Gu Family sooner! Indeed, Su Yunjin felt extremely pleased at the thought of splitting from the Gu Family. Once she was separated, she wouldn’t have to live under the same roof with those two outrageous women anymore. Even if they still caused trouble after the split, at least she wouldn’t have to share a table with them, nor see them three times a day. Just thinking about it made Su Yunjin feel hopeful.
Mrs. Chu asked about Gu Ya’s leg and said a few words to comfort Su Yunjin, “Sister-in-law, don’t be too upset about third brother’s leg. Perhaps third brother’s leg could still be reattached, you both shouldn’t worry too much.”
When Mrs. Chu said this, she didn’t believe it herself; Doctor Liu had already said that third brother Gu Ya’s legs were broken and in the future, he would only be able to lie in bed like her own father.
But seeing her sister-in-law, Mrs. Chu felt she couldn’t bear it and ended up saying a word of comfort that she herself didn’t believe. Mrs. Chu didn’t know that her words weren’t just to soothe Su Yunjin, but in fact, Gu Ya’s legs had already been reattached by Su Yunjin, and after a while, Gu Ya would be able to walk on the ground just like before.
“Pshaw, a joke? Daydreaming? His legs are broken, how could they be cured?” A voice scoffed from outside, and the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, walked in.
Mrs. Chu and Su Yunjin both looked at Mrs. Zhang at the same time. Mrs. Chu was a bit angry, “Eldest sister-in-law, how can you talk like that? Isn’t that a bit too much?”
“Too much? How am I too much? Third brother’s leg is already broken, and now I can’t even mention it? He was the one who was tired of living and went hunting in the mountains. Whose fault is that? Of course, it’s his own!”
When Mrs. Zhang first saw Gu Ya sneaking off to hunt in the mountains, she wished he would fall off a cliff and die, but who knew he was so lucky that nothing happened to him on two occasions.
This time Gu Ya fell off the mountain.
Mrs. Zhang couldn’t express how elated she was!
Unfortunately, it didn’t kill Gu Ya this time.
If it had killed Gu Ya,
That would have been truly satisfying!
Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Yunjin with a face of schadenfreude and laughed aloud, “Sister-in-law, let me tell you, you better stop daydreaming. Doctor Liu said third brother’s leg can’t be reattached, for sure he’s just going to be paralyzed like our father, lying in bed, waiting for you to serve him!”
Mrs. Zhang had been sleeping especially well these past two nights.
“Sister-in-law, don’t listen to the nonsense from the eldest sister-in-law; third brother’s leg will surely be fine,” Mrs. Chu hurried to comfort Su Yunjin, who hadn’t taken Mrs. Zhang’s words seriously at all.
Gu Ya’s leg would be fine once the property was divided, and when the time came, how smug would Mrs. Zhang be? Perhaps she would be so angry that her face turned black and she spit blood? Su Yunjin chuckled to herself at the thought of it.
