Chapter 399: Chapter 399 Considerate Chapter 399: Chapter 399 Considerate Gu Ya walked around on the ground and answered the young wife’s question truthfully, “Yunniang, after I applied the medicinal mud you prepared for me, the wound on my leg has improved a lot.”
Su Yunjin was relieved.
“Hmph, if you dare to act like you did today again, I won’t take care of you anymore.”
Gu Ya also found the young wife’s angry look endearing, and he caught her hand and kissed it, saying, “Yunniang, you wouldn’t do that.”
Su Yunjin subconsciously withdrew her hand.
But she could still feel the sensation of Gu Ya’s thin lips on it.
After applying medicine for Gu Ya, Su Yunjin planned to change her clothes, which were dirtied by Fan Wenxuan’s embrace earlier, leaving her feeling uncomfortable all over even now.
If it weren’t for the fact that she needed to tend to Gu Ya’s wounds first, Su Yunjin would have changed her clothes immediately upon returning. She opened the wardrobe and took out a set of clean clothes.
She removed her dirty clothes and put on the clean set.
Now in clean clothes, Su Yunjin felt much more comfortable and refreshed.
The house construction was progressing smoothly; Su Yunjin and her husband Gu Ya visited daily to check on its progress, and since they didn’t have to cook,
they simply delivered water during the day.
It wasn’t troublesome for Su Yunjin.
Sometimes, Mrs. Chu, the wife of her fifth brother-in-law, would come to help Su Yunjin deliver water to the workers. Gu Jianghai, who worked outside, finished his tasks and didn’t look for other work,
but instead went to Su Yunjin’s place to help with their house construction.
With her fifth brother-in-law Gu Jianghai helping, Su Yunjin promised to pay him the same wages in silver as the other workers, but Gu Jianghai declined, saying it would be awkward among brothers.
Gu Jianghai refused the wages, but Su Yunjin always disliked taking advantage of others; the proverb says even close brothers should settle accounts clearly, so if Fifth Brother Gu Jianghai was helping with the house, he deserved to be paid.
Su Yunjin insisted on paying wages, and in the end, Gu Jianghai agreed. In the past, Mrs. Chu helped Su Yunjin deliver water to the workers from time to time.
Now that her own husband was helping Su Yunjin,
Mrs. Chu didn’t just deliver water from time to time.
Instead, she helped Su Yunjin deliver water to the workers every day. One day, after delivering water with Su Yunjin, Mrs. Chu said, “By the way, in a few days it will be Lord Gu Chengxiang’s birthday, Third Sister-in-law, have you prepared a birthday gift for him?”
Su Yunjin knew that the end of the month was Lord Gu Chengxiang’s birthday, but recently she had been so busy with the house construction that it had slipped her mind.
“Younger Sister-in-law, what birthday gift have you prepared for Lord Father?” Su Yunjin, who had not prepared a birthday gift, casually asked Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu had already prepared a birthday gift for Lord Gu Chengxiang.
As the two talked, they returned to the Gu Family home.
Mrs. Chu brought out two pairs of hand-made shoes she had crafted and showed them to Su Yunjin, “Third Sister-in-law, do you see these? This is the gift I prepared for Lord Father’s birthday.”
“Shoes?” Su Yunjin looked at the two pairs of shoes made by Mrs. Chu; both were oversized, the same color, with white soles and black tops.
Mrs. Chu smiled and nodded, “Third Sister-in-law, didn’t you say Father’s leg would be healed by the end of the year? I am giving Father two pairs of shoes now, so he can wear them by the end of the year.”
That was Mrs. Chu’s thought.
Su Yunjin found Mrs. Chu’s thinking quite considerate.
