Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Reminder Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Reminder It seemed like Mrs. Chu had something to say to her.
After Su Yunjin hung up the quilt she had been drying, she stopped and asked Mrs. Chu, “Sister-in-law, what’s the matter? Did you come over to tell me something?”
Mrs. Chu did indeed have something to tell Su Yunjin. During the days that Gu Hengniang, the second sister-in-law, had been visiting, Mrs. Chu noticed that the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, had been getting particularly close to her.
The two of them were always together, and it was unclear what they were discussing.
Mrs. Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law, loved to stir up trouble, having previously caused issues with Miss Yanyan. Mrs. Chu feared that Mrs. Zhang might concoct new schemes now that she was spending time with the second sister-in-law, Gu Hengniang.
She specifically came to remind Su Yunjin, “Third sister-in-law, I’ve noticed that the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister have been rather close lately! The eldest sister-in-law is quite scheming! You must be careful and stay vigilant!”
Su Yunjin was not afraid of Mrs. Zhang.
Even if the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, were to cause more trouble, Su Yunjin had ways to handle it. Nonetheless, Mrs. Chu’s specific reminder was well-intentioned.
With a nod, Su Yunjin smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry! I’ll keep this in mind. I’ll be on guard with the eldest sister-in-law.”
Last time Mrs. Chu went back to her parents’ home, she brought back several pounds of soybeans. Since the busy farming season was over and there was no need to work in the fields, Mrs. Chu planned to grind the soybeans into tofu to eat today.
Besides coming to warn Su Yunjin about the matter between the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, Gu Hengniang, Mrs. Chu also invited Su Yunjin to come over for tofu at noon.
“Third sister-in-law, by the way, I’m grinding tofu to eat today. Why don’t you and third brother come over for lunch?”
Whenever there was something delicious at Su Yunjin’s place, she always remembered to share some with her. So naturally, Mrs. Chu didn’t forget Su Yunjin when deciding to make tofu today.
Su Yunjin didn’t refuse Mrs. Chu’s invitation and proactively offered to help, “Sister-in-law, once I finish drying the clothes, I’ll come over and help you grind the beans.”
Gu Hengniang, who had been left aside by Mrs. Zhang, was still in the courtyard while Mrs. Chu and Su Yunjin hung clothes, looking over Su Yunjin from a distance.
Gu Hengniang noticed that this third daughter-in-law, Su Yunjin, seemed to have become much prettier compared to before! Especially in her light yellow dress today, which added a touch of loveliness to Su Yunjin.
When Su Yunjin had just married Gu Ya, she had been thin and sallow, with little to attract attention. Compared to her younger sister-in-law, Yanyan, Gu Hengniang had considered her far inferior.
But now, looking at Su Yunjin again, she had filled out, and her skin had become much fairer. Gu Hengniang secretly compared her own younger sister-in-law Ruyan with Su Yunjin and found that Ruyan seemed to fall a bit short when compared to Su Yunjin.
it was this third daughter-in-law who was more beautiful!
After speaking with Mrs. Chu, Gu Hengniang noticed her, “Second sister!”
Gu Hengniang walked over to Mrs. Chu and Su Yunjin with a smile.
“Daughter-in-law of the third, daughter-in-law of the fifth, are you drying clothes?”
Perhaps it was because Gu Hengniang had been too close to Mrs. Zhang, but Su Yunjin subconsciously felt some aversion to this second sister-in-law.
She preferred not to engage her in much conversation.
Mrs. Chu said, “It’s the third sister-in-law who is drying clothes; I came to talk to her.”
Su Yunjin had finished drying the clothes in her basin. Not wanting to talk much with the second sister-in-law, Gu Hengniang, Su Yunjin found an excuse to slip away.
“Second sister, sister-in-law, my husband has a leg injury, so I need to go and take care of him, I’ll be leaving first.”
