Chapter 491: Chapter 491 Not Allowed Chapter 491: Chapter 491 Not Allowed Su Yunjin’s foot was injured, and for the following two days, Gu Ya did not allow Su Yunjin to go anywhere, nor did he let her busy herself with the new house. Instead, he had her rest in the house. And that’s not all.
Gu Changshun came back.
Fearing that his daughter-in-law would be unsafe alone at home,
Gu Ya also stayed in the house to keep his daughter-in-law company.
In Gu Ya’s words, he wanted Su Yunjin to first heal her foot injury. Su Yunjin herself didn’t take it seriously, she believed the small wound on her foot was nothing to worry about.
Where was there a need to rest for a few days as Gu Ya said?
Yet, listening to Gu Ya, she rested for a day, and after that, Su Yunjin couldn’t stay still anymore. The furniture for the new house had been bought, but it still needed to be cleaned.
Every room had to be swept out, and Su Yunjin planned to clean the rooms of the new house today. Additionally, she wanted to find another ox cart to transport their old house’s pots, pans, and food stores to the new house, so she and Gu Ya could move in. The daughter-in-law insisted on going to the new house to clean.
After Gu Ya saw the healing of the daughter-in-law’s foot injury and that the redness had subsided, he finally agreed to his daughter-in-law’s request.
Liang Bo and Zhu Dali had been helping Su Yunjin watch over the house at the entrance of the village. On the day Su Yunjin and Gu Ya went to clean the house, Liang Bo and Zhu Dali also volunteered to help.
There were many discarded pieces of wood in the house, as well as some useless sand and stones, which a woman like Su Yunjin would find inconvenient to move by herself.
With the help of Liang Bo and Zhu Dali, Su Yunjin had it much easier, and of course, Gu Ya wasn’t idle either, as he helped Su Yunjin tidy up as well.
After generally clearing out the waste in the house, Su Yunjin fetched a basin of water from the well and found a rag to wipe down tables, chairs, and also the doors and windows.
Although the furniture was newly purchased, there was a lot of dust inside the newly built house, and Su Yunjin had just swept through it, resulting in quite a bit of dust on the new furniture.
They had to be cleaned before use, so as the daughter-in-law was busy wiping the house, Gu Ya, after a while of being busy, came over and saw the water in the daughter-in-law’s wooden basin had turned black.
He offered proactively,
“Yunjin, I’ll fetch you a fresh basin of water.”
Su Yunjin was also planning to change the water, so she nodded at Gu Ya and replied, “Mhm.”
The room Su Yunjin was cleaning was actually being prepared for her father-in-law and mother-in-law to use in the future. Now that the family had split, the father-in-law and mother-in-law were still not old, and everyone could live separately.
Everyone for themselves.
In a few more years, if Gu Ya’s parents got old, it would certainly be Gu Ya and his siblings’ turn to take care of them in rotation, considering both the father-in-law and mother-in-law were good people.
Su Yunjin had specifically kept one room aside for Gu Ya’s parents. In the future, even if Gu Ya’s brothers and sisters-in-law were unwilling to take care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law,
Su Yunjin was willing to take care of them together with Gu Ya.
Before long, Gu Ya brought over another basin of water.
After washing the rag in the water, Su Yunjin, while wiping the doors and windows, said with a smile, “Husband, you see, this room was specially reserved by me for your parents for the future. What do you think?”
Gu Ya, upon hearing his daughter-in-law’s words, had not expected that just after the house was finished, his daughter-in-law had already reserved a room for his parents. He was surprised, and
at the same time, he felt that the daughter-in-law was truly a blessing to him.
“Yunjin, if my parents knew about this, they would definitely be happy.” The room the daughter-in-law reserved for his parents was spacious, clean, and in a good location.
