Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Take Off Your Clothes Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Take Off Your Clothes In the evening, Mrs. Chu, the wife of the fifth younger brother, came to the room of Su Yunjin and Gu Ya.
“Third brother, third sister-in-law, my husband said it’s already dark, and he’s afraid he won’t have time to help you set up the stove today. How about this! Our stove is already set up, so tonight, you can join us for a simple meal, and tomorrow during the day, my husband can help you set up your stove.”
Now that it was dark, it was indeed inconvenient to set up a stove. Su Yunjin had no objections to Mrs. Chu’s suggestion, “Mmm, sister-in-law, then we’ll eat together tonight.”
Since they were going to cook at Mrs. Chu’s place, Su Yunjin also took the initiative to say, “Sister-in-law, I’ll help you cook the rice!”
Thus, Su Yunjin and Mrs. Chu prepared that evening’s meal together. No longer having to share meals with Mrs. Han and Mrs. Zhang, those two difficult women, Su Yunjin felt that this occasion called for a proper celebration. But the current circumstances were simple, and they had nothing substantial.
So, they would have to make do with a simple meal.
Although there was no meat in the house, they still had eggs. The eggs her second older sister had brought her last time were down to about a dozen. Su Yunjin went back to her room and brought out five eggs for Mrs. Chu, who made a pan-fried egg dish. The fragrant eggs, fried in oil until the outside was a crispy gold and seasoned with just a pinch of salt, were tantalizingly aromatic.
After frying the eggs, Mrs. Chu stir-fried a green vegetable and boiled a pot of sweet potato soup. With these two dishes and one soup, dinner was ready.
Gu Ya was lying in bed, unable to come over for the meal, so Su Yunjin, just as she had done at noon, first brought a plate of food to Gu Ya, with a bit of fried egg and green vegetable, and also poured him a bowl of soup.
After delivering the meal to Gu Ya and seeing him begin to eat, Su Yunjin then went out to have dinner with Mrs. Chu. Upon Su Yunjin’s return, her younger brother Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu were sitting there waiting for her; the food on the table hadn’t been touched, clearly indicating they were waiting for her to join them.
“Auntie, father said we should wait for you to come before we start eating. Can we eat now?” Little Aluo, the daughter of Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu, asked. The little girl’s voice was soft and sweet, incredibly well-behaved.
Su Yunjin looked at Little Aluo, who gazed eagerly at the pan-fried eggs on the table while she spoke, her hunger for them quite apparent.
“Of course, we can eat now!” Su Yunjin patted Little Aluo’s head and picked up the chopsticks to feed her a piece of the fried egg. Little Aluo savored the expected taste with satisfaction.
Mrs. Chu also smiled and fed her daughter a piece of egg, saying, “Third sister-in-law, this girl has been craving a fried egg! Now that you’re here, let’s start eating.”
The table was set with soup and vegetables, and the rice Mrs. Chu cooked was delicious. Having not been fully satisfied at noon, Su Yunjin finally felt content, eating her fill that evening.
Returning to her own place, Gu Ya had already eaten his meal.
Gu Ya’s wounds and legs required the medicine to be applied twice a day. Su Yunjin had applied it once during the daytime, and now planned to apply it again for him.
Approaching the bed, Su Yunjin said to Gu Ya, “Husband, take your clothes off!”
Gu Ya was clearly taken aback!
Su Yunjin hadn’t thought much of it; seeing Gu Ya staring at her and not moving, she repeated, “Husband, what are you waiting for? Quickly take off your clothes!”
She could only apply his medicine after he undressed!
It’s not like she was planning to help Gu Ya undress as well, right?
After she spoke again, Su Yunjin saw that Gu Ya was obediently starting to undress. However, she had asked him to take off his shirt, why was he continuing to strip… Su Yunjin glanced at the area Gu Ya was undressing and hurriedly said, “Wait, why are you taking off your pants? I’m just helping you with the medicine!”
