Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Gratitude Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Gratitude “Mother, don’t worry. Although Father’s back is a bit troubleso to treat, it can still be healed.”
She handed Mrs. An the dicinal mud she had prepared.
Su Yunjin said, “Mother, take this dicinal mud and later help Father apply it to his legs and back; it needs to be sared on both.”
If it were modern tis, Su Yunjin could have helped her father-in-law apply the dicine herself. But in ancient tis at this place, people’s thinking was conservative. If she had helped her father-in-law with the dicine, who knows what unsavory rumors would have spread.
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han both had sharp tongues.
If those two found out, they would definitely exaggerate the story until the whole village knew about it.
Moreover, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were both honest and upright people; even if she had suggested it, they probably wouldn’t have agreed.
After all, applying the dicine wasn’t hard; it wasn’t necessary for her to do it herself.
Giving the dicine to her mother-in-law, so she could apply it to Lord Gu Chengxiang, would do just as well.
Mrs. An took the dicinal mud from Su Yunjin and asked, “Third daughter-in-law, how should mother apply this dicine to your father?”
“Mother, just apply it to the areas where Father is injured — the back and legs are the sa. Wherever Father feels pain, sar it there. Also, apply it to any bruises or swollen areas. Oh, and I’ve just set Father’s leg, so it needs a bit more of the mud.”
Mrs. An nodded, “Third daughter-in-law, mother understands.”
For Mrs. An to apply the dicine to her father, she would need to remove his trousers and outer clothes.
It was inconvenient for Su Yunjin to continue staying inside the room, so she took the initiative to say, “Mother, I’ll step out while you apply the dicine to Father.”
“Mm, third daughter-in-law, you go ahead with your own tasks. Your father’s dicine, mother will apply it well.”
Before she left, Su Yunjin added, “Mother, after you’ve applied the dicine to Father, call , and I’ll co back in to check on his back injury.”
Mrs. An agreed, “Third daughter-in-law, mother understands.”
As Su Yunjin left the room, Mrs. Chu ca over with a smile and asked, “Third sister-in-law, how is it going? Can Father’s illness be treated?”
“I’ve already set Father’s leg, and Mother is currently applying dicine to him inside,”
Su Yunjin said.
Mrs. Chu had also planned to visit Lord Gu Chengxiang.
Now, hearing that Mrs. An was applying dicine to Lord Gu Chengxiang, Mrs. Chu felt it inappropriate to go over.
“Since Father is having dicine applied, I’ll wait for Mother to finish before I go see him.”
After Mrs. Chu left, Su Yunjin returned to the room she shared with Gu Ya.
She knew that her husband, Gu Ya, was worried about his father’s, Lord Gu Chengxiang’s, illness.
Upon seeing Gu Ya, Su Yunjin spoke first, “Husband, I have already treated Father’s illness. I’ve taken care of his leg for now, but his back will be more troubleso to treat. I’ve asked Mother to apply dicine first, and after she finishes, I’ll go check on Father’s back injury.”
“Yunjin, you’ve worked hard on Father’s illness,” Gu Ya said, looking at his young wife, his tone earnest.
Gu Ya was truly grateful to his wife for treating his father’s illness. If not for her, his father might have remained bedridden.
Suddenly faced with such a serious expression and tone from him,
Su Yunjin was a bit unaccustod to it.
“It’s no trouble; treating Father’s illness is just a small effort for .”
Waving it off as if it were nothing, Su Yunjin continued, “It’s a minor matter; you needn’t worry about it.”
Moreover, Lord Gu Chengxiang was a good man; he had supported her during Gu Changshun’s incident. Su Yunjin had decided then to help Lord Gu Chengxiang with his illness. Even if Gu Ya hadn’t asked, she would have offered her help.
