After Gu Chengxiang’s legs were cured by Su Yunjin’s treatnt, he would occasionally experience leg pain. This morning, upon getting up, Gu Chengxiang felt so discomfort in his legs, so he asked Mrs. An to massage him a bit. Su Yunjin had previously taught Mrs. An how to massage Gu Chengxiang. Following Su Yunjin’s teachings, Mrs. An kneaded and massaged Gu Chengxiang, and his leg pain was significantly alleviated.
After Mrs. An massaged Gu Chengxiang’s legs twice, he finally felt so relief. Gu Chengxiang, half-leaning with his eyes closed, recalled Mrs. An’s complaints a few days ago and said, "My legs were paralyzed for so long, and now I can stand and walk again, all thanks to the blessings of Old Third’s wife. If it weren’t for her, I’m afraid I’d still be lying down."
Whenever Gu Chengxiang praised Su Yunjin, Mrs. An was sowhat displeased. She used to be quite satisfied with Su Yunjin, but now she increasingly disliked her.
Mrs. An felt that Su Yunjin simply relied on her current skills and no longer respected her as her mother-in-law, repeatedly defying her and even daring to talk back?
Mrs. An used to dislike Old First’s wife, Mrs. Zhang, the most, but now she felt even Mrs. Zhang was more agreeable to look at than Su Yunjin. Mrs. An’s face imdiately fell, and she wouldn’t allow Gu Chengxiang to praise Su Yunjin any further.
"Yes, yes, yes, everything about Old Third’s wife is great. She healed your legs, and we should be grateful to her. But now, not only is she disrespectful to as her mother-in-law, but she’s also inciting Old Third not to listen to . Do you think it’s easy for to manage this family with such hardship? Old Third used to be the most filial and sensible since young, but now what? He doesn’t even recognize , his mother anymore." Thinking of the scene a few days ago when Gu Ya defended Su Yunjin, Mrs. An beca quite stifled.
Gu Chengxiang detested hearing Mrs. An speak like this and imdiately turned cold, saying displeasedly, "Look at you, speaking foolishly again; Old Third and his wife have always been filial and considerate to both of us. Now, Old Third’s fortune entirely relies on his wife, Old Third’s wife. Being human, one must have a conscience, and you mustn’t say such things again in the future."
Mrs. An was about to retort when she saw Gu Ya and Mrs. Chu walking in with others from outside. Unaware of what had happened, Mrs. An imdiately smiled and moved forward upon seeing Gu Ya.
"Old Third, why did you co? Quickly, quickly, co inside. Your father was just ntioning you, and now you’re here?" Mrs. An happily pulled Gu Ya into the house, casting a glance at Su Yunjin beside them. Rembering the incident of accidentally scratching Little Tiangua, Mrs. An felt an inexplicable guilt upon seeing Su Yunjin.
Mrs. An pulled Gu Ya to lead him away, but Gu Ya remained motionless, coldly withdrawing his hand. Mrs. An sensed sothing was amiss and looked at her son in surprise, "Old Third, what’s with your expression? What? Are you still mad at over what happened that day?" Mrs. An beca quite annoyed; the accidental injury to Little Tiangua that day had left her feeling guilty. She had been worried about her granddaughter these past days, only to have Gu Ya, along with that woman, co seeking an explanation.
"Mother, let ask you, what was the deal with the dicine you gave to our sister-in-law?" Gu Ya asked directly. Mrs. An, upon hearing Gu Ya’s words, imdiately replied confidently, "You and Old Third’s wife both forbade from giving Little Tiangua dicine, but seeing Little Tiangua still coughing that day, for my granddaughter’s sake, I had your Fifth sister-in-law secretly put the dicine I brewed into the water Little Tiangua was going to drink."
Mrs. An believed she was acting for her granddaughter’s well-being, so she answered the question with full confidence.
