Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Good Intentions Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Good Intentions The family division was complete.
After sending off the Magistrate and the clan head, Su Yunjin returned to her and Gu Ya’s room with the document that officialized the family division.
Feeling good, even Su Yunjin’s footsteps were light. Gu Ya had been waiting in the room for his young wife to return, knowing what kind of people his elder sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han were, he was afraid his young wife would be at a disadvantage outside.
Upon seeing Su Yunjin, Gu Ya quickly asked, “Yun’er, have you come back? Is the family division complete?”
“It’s complete, look here’s the document for the division, and the seals of the clan head and the Magistrate.”
Giving the document to Gu Ya, Su Yunjin went to the table to pour herself a glass of water.
After drinking, she looked up to see Gu Ya watching her and tentatively asked him, “What? Do you want to drink water too?”
“Hmm, Yun’er, give me two sips,” Gu Ya nodded.
Having finished the water in her cup, Su Yunjin poured another glass for Gu Ya.
Su Yunjin used the same cup she had drunk from to pour Gu Ya’s water without feeling there was anything amiss.
“Here, take it and drink,” Su Yunjin said, as she walked up to Gu Ya and handed him the cup in her hand.
Gu Ya took the cup, thinking of his young wife using the same cup just now, he unconsciously gave her a profound look before tipping his head back to drink from the spot where she had drunk.
Su Yunjin also noticed the unusualness in Gu Ya’s gaze, and then at the cup he was drinking from.
In an instant, Su Yunjin realized.
“…” This man can even have improper thoughts while drinking water! He’s such a lech!
Gu Ya had just looked at the document for the family division and knew that the grain his mother Mrs. An had allocated to him and his young wife still needed to be carried back from his mother’s house.
Originally, as a man, carrying heavy things like grain should unquestionably be his job to do.
But now his leg was not convenient for carrying, and he had just finished drinking water in one breath.
Gu Ya looked up at his young wife.
Such coarse work as carrying grain couldn’t possibly be done by his young wife, could it?
His young wife was skinny and looked frail. Gu Ya always feared she would get tired from any rough work.
Let alone something as heavy as carrying grains.
Handing the cup back to his young wife, Gu Ya said, “Yun’er, you can’t carry the few baskets of grain Mother gave us; better call Fifth Brother to help us move it!”
Fifth Brother Gu Jianghai got along well with Gu Ya and respected his third brother very much.
If he asked him to help move the grain, Fifth Brother Gu Jianghai would certainly agree and wouldn’t refuse.
While Su Yunjin and Gu Ya were talking in the room, Fifth Brother Gu Jianghai came in from outside the courtyard, his head dripping with sweat.
“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, I just went to Mother’s place to carry the grain she divided for us back. Third Brother, your leg is not well, and Third Sister-in-law, as a woman, how could you carry grain? I’ll go help you. I’ll bring your grain here,” he said.
Gu Jianghai came over with a kind intention to help, and Gu Ya did not refuse, “Fifth Brother, we’ll have to trouble you and your wife with this matter.”
“Hey, Third Brother, with such a trivial matter, why are you being so formal with me?” Gu Jianghai said nonchalantly, waving his hand as he walked out of the room.
Su Yunjin watched her Fifth Brother leave, thinking that although the Gu Family had people like her sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang and daughter-in-law Mrs. Han who were difficult to deal with, Fifth Brother and his wife Mrs. Chu were good people.
The last time Gu Ya was injured, Mrs. Chu kindly gave him ointment, and now Fifth Brother took the initiative to carry grain for them.
