Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Celebration Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Celebration The one who had insisted on proposing the separation of the household was the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang.
If it weren’t for being instigated by Mrs. Zhang,
Mrs. Han wouldn’t have kept making a fuss about splitting from the Gu Family.
Regretting her decision, Mrs. Han also held a grudge against Mrs. Zhang in her heart, feeling that all of this was because of Mrs. Zhang; if not for her, she wouldn’t have separated from the Gu Family and lived on her own.
Now that Gu Ya’s leg had healed, both Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han were quite upset, but there were also those who were happy, like Mrs. Chu and her husband, Gu Jianghai, who were both very happy for Gu Ya when they heard the news.
“Big brother, I heard your leg is all better now, that’s really great.”
Gu Jianghai said first.
He kept staring at Gu Ya’s leg.
Seeing that Gu Ya could stand.
And didn’t limp anymore.
Gu Jianghai genuinely rejoiced for his third brother Gu Ya.
Mrs. Chu was also smiling, her face full of joy. “Yes, big brother, it’s really great that your leg is fine now, sister-in-law won’t have to worry about you anymore.”
Su Yunjin stood to the side and thought to herself.
She had known from the beginning that Gu Ya’s leg could be treated, and had never worried about it. Of course, Su Yunjin didn’t voice this out loud.
In their happiness, Gu Jianghai, the fifth brother, suggested, “Sister-in-law, it’s great news that big brother’s leg is better. We should really celebrate this properly, don’t you think?”
Gu Ya’s leg had healed.
A celebration was in order.
Su Yunjin also very much agreed with Gu Jianghai’s suggestion, “Fifth brother, you’re right, with my husband’s leg healed, we should indeed celebrate.”
“Coincidentally, I ran into a hunter today who was taking a pheasant to the market to sell, and I bought one on the way. Big brother, sister-in-law, I’ll bring that pheasant over later, and we can all have it for dinner tonight,” Gu Jianghai generously offered to bring over the pheasant he had bought.
Su Yunjin didn’t refuse Gu Jianghai’s kind gesture, “Then I’ll cook roast chicken for dinner for everyone tonight.”
“Sister-in-law, I can help you cook,” Mrs. Chu offered to help willingly.
Now that Gu Ya’s leg had healed, and because he had been bedridden for so long, he felt really uncomfortable lying down all the time. Now that he could walk, he wanted to move around.
Su Yunjin and Mrs. Chu were busy cooking in the kitchen, while Gu Jianghai stayed outside, walking in the yard with his third brother Gu Ya.
The two brothers talked just as they used to.
Gu Ya had always attended school, and his academics were quite good. He was on the verge of participating in the imperial examinations to become a Scholar, but then he had the accident of falling down the mountain.
Having injured his leg and missed the examination, he stopped attending school. Now that his leg was healed, Gu Jianghai couldn’t help but ask.
“Big brother, now that your leg is fully recovered, are you still going to participate in next year’s imperial examinations?”
Originally, Gu Ya didn’t specifically intend to pursue an official career when he attended school; his father, Gu Chengxiang, had insisted he study, saying that hunting could not be a sustainable livelihood. Even if he didn’t become an official, if he studied well, he could later work as an Accountant in a restaurant.
To find a decent job.
Gu Ya’s studies were good.
But after injuring his leg, he had put aside his academics and hadn’t thought about participating in the imperial examinations again. Now that his fifth brother Gu Jianghai suddenly brought it up,
Gu Ya considered it but didn’t give a definite answer, only saying, “Let’s see!”
“Big brother, I think you should take part in next year’s imperial examinations. You’ve always been good at your studies; it’s certain you could come back with the title of Scholar!”
Gu Jianghai was confident.
Talking as if Gu Ya would indeed earn the title of Scholar if he took part in the imperial examinations.
Gu Ya just smiled at what his fifth brother Gu Jianghai had said but didn’t say anything.
