Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Restoration Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Restoration She simply told Gu Ya about Lord Gu Chengxiang’s illness.
Then she went to the kitchen.
Su Yunjin started to get busy.
Today, the lard she bought from the market needed to be rendered, and with the time approaching noon, she also needed to start preparing lunch.
Having gone to the market today, Su Yunjin could have a more substantial meal for lunch.
She cut the pork in half, making a meat soup with one half to nourish Gu Ya’s body and the other half to make roasted pork.
She also bought flour, scooped out a bowl, mixed it with cold water, and when roasting the meat, she would stick some on the side of the pot to make potstickers.
With two pots available, she could cook and render lard at the same time.
While Su Yunjin was busy in the kitchen, Mrs. An had already applied the medicine to Lord Gu Chengxiang.
After Mrs. An had applied the medicine to Lord Gu Chengxiang, Su Yunjin went to find her.
Mrs. An came into the kitchen where Su Yunjin was cooking and rendering oil.
Seeing Mrs. An arrive,
Su Yunjin got up with a smile and asked, “Mother, have you applied the medicine to Father?”
“Third son’s wife, are you rendering oil?” Mrs. An peeked into the pot.
Su Yunjin replied, “Mhm, I went to the market today to get Father some medicine. I took the opportunity to buy some lard back to render for eating.”
“Yun’er, the third son has just had his leg set; he should indeed eat more meat to recover. Rendering some lard is good.”
Su Yunjin was to see Lord Gu Chengxiang for his injuries, so the kitchen was too busy to manage alone.
Thus, wiping her hands, Su Yunjin said to Mrs. An, “Mother, I’ll go see Father now. Please help me watch over the kitchen.”
“Sure, no problem. Third son’s wife, rest assured, I will take care of the kitchen for you. You don’t have to worry about here.”
With Mrs. An watching the kitchen, Su Yunjin truly had nothing to worry about.
“Mother, I’m off then.”
Mrs. An waved her hand with a smile, “Go, go!”
Upon returning to Lord Gu Chengxiang’s room, Gu Chengxiang, who had been anointed with the medicine, was very pleasantly surprised to tell her, “Third son’s wife, the medicine you prepared is indeed effective. Just now, your mother applied the medicine, and Dad feels like my waist and legs don’t hurt as much.”
The medicinal clay that Su Yunjin had formulated for her father-in-law was to relieve pain.
Of course, it would take effect once applied.
“Father, it’s good that it doesn’t hurt.”
Su Yunjin walked over to Gu Chengxiang and added, “Father, let me take another look at your waist injury now.”
Gu Chengxiang nodded, “Third son’s wife, I appreciate your trouble.”
Su Yunjin placed her hand on Gu Chengxiang’s waist and pressed slightly harder, asking him, “Father, how is it? Does it hurt?”
“It’s not very painful.” Although it hurt when Su Yunjin touched it, Gu Chengxiang could bear it now that the medicine was on.
She remembered the last time she pressed the same spot.
Lord Gu Chengxiang had broken out in a cold sweat from the pain.
This time Su Yunjin could distinctly feel the difference.
Lord Gu Chengxiang was not in much pain.
Just the application of the medicine had significantly improved Lord Gu Chengxiang’s waist injury.
Su Yunjin thought to herself that Lord Gu Chengxiang’s waist injury might be easier to heal than she had previously estimated.
Drawing back her hand,
Su Yunjin said with a smile, “Father, that’s good. It seems that your recovery is going quite well. Just make sure you eat the medicine I’ve prepared for you on time every day, and also remember to have Mother apply the medicinal clay daily. You should be able to recover before long.”
If the recovery went well, Lord Gu Chengxiang’s illness could be cured in about half a year.
Gu Chengxiang was also very surprised, “Third son’s wife, when do you think Dad will be able to stand up?”
It had been nearly two years since he’d been able to stand.
Anxious Gu Chengxiang longed to stand up and walk again.
