Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Have One Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Have One On the way back, the sun was scorching, and today there were even more people on the ox cart, which made it particularly cramped. Sitting on the ox cart, Su Yunjin was drenched in sweat.
After getting off the ox cart, Su Yunjin cooled down a bit, but it was still hot.
Sweat streamed down her face and forehead. When she looked at Gu Ya, he wasn’t much better off, seeming to be even hotter. Huge beads of sweat continuously dripped down from him.
Today at the market, she had bought a watermelon. Although Su Yunjin had purchased the watermelon to quench the workers’ thirst, since she bought plenty, she could have some herself.
Choosing a big, round one, Su Yunjin patted it with her hand and, hearing a solid sound from inside, knew that the melon was ripe and full of juice.
Placing the watermelon on the table, Su Yunjin fetched a knife. Just as she was about to cut it, Gu Ya came over and stopped her, “Yunjin, give me the knife; I’ll do it!”
“My dear, just wait to eat; I’ll cut it.” While she spoke, Su Yunjin sliced through the watermelon, cutting the large, round fruit in half.
The watermelon was thoroughly ripe. As soon as she cut into it, juice spilled out. With a few more swift cuts, Su Yunjin divided the watermelon into several pieces.
The young wife had already cut the watermelon, and Gu Ya, having no wish to argue further, simply watched her slice. Laying down the knife, Su Yunjin handed a piece to Gu Ya and took one for herself.
The sweet watermelon was incredibly refreshing.
After eating a watermelon, Su Yunjin felt much less hot.
Thinking of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Su Yunjin separately took a piece to each of them. In the yard, the Gu Family’s children were playing.
Seeing the children hot as well, Su Yunjin gestured to a few of them to come over and distributed the watermelon, cut into small pieces, to each of them.
Gu Ya stood behind Su Yunjin, watching as the young wife patiently handed out watermelon to Aluo and the other children, smiling as he said from the side, “Yunjin, do you like children a lot?”
After finishing distributing the last piece of watermelon, Su Yunjin looked up at Gu Ya.
Gu Ya added, “Why don’t we have a couple of our own?”
“…” Su Yunjin fell silent. Who wanted to have children with that man? Then she remembered that Gu Ya had slept with her twice, the last time being less than a month ago.
In ancient times, lacking any form of contraception, Gu Ya had entangled her for nearly an entire night, and afterwards, she had not taken any contraceptive concoctions.
It was quite possible that she was already carrying Gu Ya’s child in her womb.
As it happened, Gu Ya was also staring at Su Yunjin’s stomach and chuckled softly, “Yunjin, do you think you could already be carrying our child?”
“No!” Su Yunjin denied without a second thought.
Yet Gu Ya laughed again.
“No? Then we should just sleep together more often; eventually, you will conceive!”
Gu Ya was quite confident in his ability.
Su Yunjin was speechless and didn’t bother to respond to Gu Ya. However, she then saw Mrs. Chu, her fifth brother’s wife, looking regretfully at a few pieces of tofu she was carrying out, “Sister-in-law!”
Su Yunjin called out to Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu, upon seeing Su Yunjin and her husband Gu Ya, walked over with a regretful expression, “Third sister-in-law, look at this tofu I made last time. I was thinking of saving it to eat slowly, but who knew with the weather being so hot, it molded in just a few days!”
Her face showed her disappointment.
Mrs. Chu said, “It’s molded; I have no choice but to throw it away!”
It’s not a problem even if it’s molded!
Molded tofu can still be eaten.
“Sister-in-law, it’s okay; even if it’s molded, trust me, it’s still edible.”
