Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Taking Care of the Young Wife Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Taking Care of the Young Wife Today, everything went smoothly at the marketplace. After purchasing furniture, Su Yunjin also bought a cartload of other items.
There were cotton, quilts, bed sheets, and such. As there were so many items, at noon, Su Yunjin and her husband Gu Ya made do with a quick meal at the marketplace.
By the time they returned, the furniture had already been delivered. Su Yunjin paid the delivery men and instructed them to place each piece of furniture into its corresponding room.
While the workers moved the furniture, Su Yunjin wasn’t idle either. She spread out the newly bought bed sheets and quilt covers on the beds.
Gu Ya, being a man, was not adept at tasks like making the bed, so he left it all to his little wife. After a busy day, all the bedding in the new house was settled.
Su Yunjin returned home exhausted and sore, perhaps from shopping at the marketplace all day. She just felt that her feet were aching.
After taking off her shoes, Su Yunjin discovered blisters on the soles of her feet. Gu Ya felt sorry for his little wife, took her delicate little feet in his hands, and examined them.
Seeing that the soles of his little wife’s feet were rubbed red, he thought for a moment and suggested, “Yunjin, let me fetch a basin of water for you to soak your feet. It might feel better.”
A foot soak would indeed be quite comfortable in her current state. Su Yunjin happily agreed to Gu Ya’s suggestion, “Husband, then I shall soak my feet.”
“Yunjin, wait here. I’ll go fetch the water now.” Releasing his little wife’s feet, Gu Ya got up and walked out. Su Yunjin had walked a lot today and bought quite a few items. She felt tired but also extraordinarily content, especially when looking at the newly arranged house, which filled her with satisfaction.
The progress of setting up the house was quicker than Su Yunjin had initially expected. She thought it would take at least five or six days to get the new house in order.
But after just one day, they had nearly bought everything needed for the new house. The remaining few items could either be bought or left unbought.
Pots, pans, ladles, and such, they already had at the old house. She and Gu Ya could move those things to the new house instead of the trouble of buying them again.
After all, these pots, pans, and ladles were items Su Yunjin had recently bought new at the marketplace, not old ones. After roughly calculating,
she expected that in another day or two, she and Gu Ya would be able to move into the new house.
The thought of moving into the new house made Su Yunjin’s eyes sparkle with particular brightness, full of anticipation. Gu Ya came back with the water, which he had tested and found was slightly hot.
Too cold, and the foot soak wouldn’t be very beneficial. Just a little heat would make it comfortable after soaking. “Yunjin, the water is ready.”
When Su Yunjin saw Gu Ya coming over with the water, she was about to soak her feet, but Gu Ya stopped her.
“Yunjin, don’t move!” Gu Ya first put the wooden basin on the ground, then squatted down, grabbed his little wife’s feet, and gently placed them into the basin.
The water was a bit hot.
Worried about scalding his little wife, Gu Ya cautiously let her feet enter the water and then asked her, “Yunjin, is it too hot?”
The water in the basin was hot, but her feet could take it. Su Yunjin shook her head, feeling comfortable. Her soft, fair little feet moved in the water, but inadvertently, she splashed Gu Ya’s face with water.
The sudden incident made Su Yunjin cry out in surprise, “Ah??”
“Yunjin, don’t squirm.” Gu Ya held onto his little wife’s feet, a hint of annoyance on his handsome face. He was trying to be kind and help his little wife with a foot soak, and what does the little thing do? She splashed his face with the wash water.
