The Hunter's Lively Wife

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Cowardice



Su Yunjin's parents were timid in nature, doughy personalities that they were, but they loved their youngest daughter deeply. When she fell into water, her parents almost fainted from fright upon hearing the news.

Moreover, they borrowed money from everywhere to have Su Yunjin seen by a doctor.

"Big brother, you're right, we should hurry back to tell our parents that I'm alright, so they won't worry anymore."

Su Xiaobao was loath to part with Su Yunjin. He had just seen his sister and did not want to be separated from her, "Sister, I don't want to go, I want to stay with you."

"Xiaobao, be good and go back with big brother. If you really miss your third sister, in a few days big brother will bring you to visit her!" The Gu Family only had a few dilapidated thatched huts, and even the one Gu Ya and Su Yunjin were living in was drafty and barely habitable. There was simply no place for Su Xiaobao to stay if he remained.

Big brother Su Muze did not agree with Su Xiaobao staying either.

Stubbornly clinging to Su Yunjin without saying a word, it was obvious that Su Xiaobao did not want to leave! Second sister Su Ningxiu quickly stepped forward to coax Su Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, be good; go back with your big brother and second sister. Don't you want to eat the roasted sweet potatoes that your second sister made for you? Once we get back, I'll roast them for you, how about that?"

"I don't want sweet potatoes, I want third sister!" Gu Xiaobao was not swayed by the roasted sweet potatoes his second sister Su Ningxiu mentioned.

As Su Xiaobao refused to go, Su Muze and Su Ningxiu were at a loss, both looking at Su Yunjin with concern. Her big brother and second sister's worries were not unknown to her.

Right now the Gu Family really didn't have spare accommodations for Su Xiaobao, not to mention there were Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han as sisters-in-law; Su Yunjin also did not feel at ease letting Su Xiaobao stay.

Gently stroking Su Xiaobao's head, Su Yunjin spoke in a soft voice, "Xiaobao, listen to your sister. If you miss your sister, when I have time, I'll come back to see you and our parents. Now, listen to your third sister's words and go back with big brother and second sister, okay?"

Su Xiaobao looked at Su Yunjin, the little one seriously contemplated for a while, and just when everyone thought he still wouldn't agree to go back, Su Xiaobao suddenly obediently looked at Su Yunjin and nodded his little head, "Sister, then it's a deal. Once I go back, you have to come visit me often."

Hearing Su Xiaobao's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At last, they had coaxed the little guy into agreeing.

"Okay!" Su Yunjin smiled as she looked at Su Xiaobao, "When I have time, I will definitely come back to see you."

Before leaving, second sister Su Ningxiu specifically reminded Su Yunjin, "Little sister, you must remember to eat the eggs big brother and I brought for you."

"Second sister, I will boil one for Yun Mother to eat every day." Gu Ya looked at Su Yunjin, his voice pleasant, and the depths of his dark ink-colored eyes carried a gentle hue.

Made to feel somewhat embarrassed by Gu Ya's gaze, Su Yunjin blushed.

Second sister Su Ningxiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother-in-law, with your words, I as an older sister can rest easy." For some reason, Su Yunjin always felt that when second sister Su Ningxiu said this, her gaze towards her and Gu Ya was particularly teasing and ambiguous.

······

And so, big brother and second sister took Su Xiaobao with them and left, Gu Ya went out to see them off. Su Yunjin was also going to go out with them, but the big brother and second sister Su Ningxiu stopped her, saying that she had just woken up and needed to rest properly.

Therefore, without arguing with them, Su Yunjin stayed behind and did not go out. On the table there was a teapot. The Gu Family was poor and couldn't afford even coarse tea; even the old teapot didn't contain any tea, only half a pot of warm water. Su Yunjin poured a cup of water and was just about to drink it when big sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang walked in from the outside.

A glance at her and she started to surreptitiously scan the room.

What is Mrs. Zhang doing here again?

Su Yunjin frowned!
