Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Concern Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Concern Having purchased some pork and vegetables, Su Yunjin also bought some coarse tea because when the workers came to her house to help repair it, it would not be good to have no tea to offer them.
When the workers arrived to help with the repairs, she could serve them the tea. Because Su Yunjin spent quite a while at the Fuman Building today, and later bought a number of items, it was already afternoon by the time she returned to the Gu Family home.
Gu Ya did not know that his young wife had gone to the market to discuss business, and with her not returning by the afternoon, he could not help but worry about her.
Could his young wife have met with some mishap at the market?
Uneasy about his young wife, he called upon his younger brother, Gu Jianghai, as Gu Ya, whose legs were not convenient, intended to have his fifth brother go to the market to look for her, “Fifth brother, your third sister-in-law went to the market, and it’s been so long, yet she hasn’t returned. Could something have happened to her? My legs are not in a good condition right now, fifth brother, could I trouble you to go to the market and look for your sister-in-law for me?”
Generally, the women of the village would return from the market before midday, and Su Yunjin’s absence was quite abnormal, “Big brother, could it be that third sister-in-law got held up by something at the market?”
Mrs. Chu said, “My lord, why don’t you go to the market and help third brother look for third sister-in-law?”
Su Yunjin, who had just returned home by ox cart, just so happened to overhear the conversation from outside the house.
“No need to look for her, fifth brother, sister-in-law, I’m back.”
As soon as Su Yunjin spoke, the three people inside the room, including Gu Ya, all turned to look at her.
Seeing his young wife safe and sound,
Gu Ya felt relieved, but his handsome face immediately darkened.
“Third sister-in-law, you’re back? That’s really great!”
Approaching Su Yunjin, Mrs. Chu suppressed a smile as she spoke.
“Third sister-in-law, you have no idea, just now when you hadn’t returned, third brother was very worried about you!”
Su Yunjin looked toward Gu Ya and was about to speak when she saw that his handsome face was dark and not looking too good.
What was wrong with this man now?
And why the dark expression?
Just then, the uncle who had followed Su Yunjin inside asked her, “Young lady, where would you like these things to be placed?”
Seeing that Su Yunjin had a lot of items with her, the uncle kindly offered to help her carry them off the cart after she got off.
Taking into account that Gu Ya’s legs were not convenient, and thus he could not help her, and with the uncle kindly offering, Su Yunjin did not refuse. After thanking the uncle, Su Yunjin agreed to let him help her with the items from the cart.
In the uncle’s hands were the cotton and sheets that Su Yunjin had bought at the market! Looking at the uncle, Su Yunjin hastily said, “Uncle, just help me put these things on the table, please!”
The only place in the house suitable to place things was that table, as it was not proper to put items on the ground!
Upon receiving Su Yunjin’s instructions, the uncle accordingly placed the items on the table.
Hearing that Su Yunjin had brought back quite a few household items from the market, her fifth brother-in-law, Gu Jianghai, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Chu, also went to help carry. Soon, all the things Su Yunjin had purchased were moved down.
Having prepared some copper coins earlier, Su Yunjin gave them to the uncle, who, upon receiving the copper coins, left with his ox cart.
After helping Su Yunjin with her items, the fifth brother and Mrs. Chu returned to their own rooms.
For a moment, only Su Yunjin and Gu Ya were left in the room.
Although Gu Ya’s complexion had softened slightly from the beginning, it was still quite stiff and dark. Ever since her return, Gu Ya had not looked very happy, and Su Yunjin, seeing his expression, truly did not understand what she could have done to offend this man?
He had a dark face towards her the moment she came back!
