Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Hot Potato
“Husband!”
Su Yunjin was startled by Gu Ya’s unexpected visit at this ti.
Upon seeing his little wife, Gu Ya hurried forward with a face full of concern and asked, “Yunjin, how is everything? Your elder sister is alright, isn’t she?”
In the Gu Family house, the mont Gu Ya heard about Su Yunjin’s elder sister’s predicant, he feared his little wife might not cope alone upon her return to the Su Family and might suffer a disadvantage there. The incident of his little wife falling into water still haunted him to this day, and he feared that sothing might happen to her again during this visit to the Su Family. Without delay, Gu Ya also hastily made his way to the Su Family ho.
With him by her side, he could protect his little wife.
He wouldn’t let what happened last ti occur again.
...
“My elder sister is fine, she’s eating porridge in the room right now!” Su Yunjin was busy checking if the stead eggs in the kitchen were done. As she answered Gu Ya, she was also heading toward the kitchen.
Gu Ya naturally followed his little wife toward the kitchen direction. The husband and wife arrived at the kitchen one after the other. Su Yunjin went to the stove and reached out to lift the lid off the pot.
The coarse rice in the pot had started boiling, and the two bowls of stead eggs that Mrs. Shen had placed on top of the coarse rice porridge seed to be done as well.
Just half a bowl of porridge wouldn’t be enough to fill them up. Su Yunjin’s elder sister, Su Ningxiu, and her younger brother, Su Xiaobao, must still be very hungry. Su Yunjin, without overthinking, saw that the stead eggs were ready and went to get the bowls.
She was prepared to imdiately take them to her elder sister Su Ningxiu and the rest.
“Yunjin, let do it!” Before Su Yunjin’s hand reached the bowl inside the pot, Gu Ya’s large hand had already grasped her small hand, stopping her from taking the bowl.
The two bowls of stead eggs had been steaming in the pot, and the water inside was boiling hot. Gu Ya really feared that his little wife might scald herself if she reached for the bowl like that.
To Gu Ya, as a rough-skinned man, even if he got scalded a bit, it would be nothing! But it was different for his little wife; he felt that even her skin was tender.
A pinch could turn it red.
In reality, Su Yunjin’s original body, being used to hard work in the Su Family, didn’t have delicate hands. But in Gu Ya’s eyes, compared to his, his little wife’s hands were much more tender and susceptible to scalding.
Her hand was enveloped by a broad, strong palm. Su Yunjin instinctively looked up and saw that Gu Ya had released her hand. Without waiting for her consent, Gu Ya had already swiftly and deftly removed the two bowls of stead eggs from the pot, placing them on the stovetop.
Inside the house, having had white rice porridge, both Su Ningxiu and Su Xiaobao were gradually regaining so strength. Upon learning that her husband intended to take two bowls of stead eggs to her elder sister and younger brother, Gu Ya proactively carried them both, holding one bowl of stead eggs in each hand, and didn’t allow his little wife to carry anything.
“Mother, brother-in-law is here!” Seeing Gu Ya entering the courtyard, Su Ningxiu hurried to tell her mother, Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen looked over and, indeed, saw Gu Ya. Last ti when Su Yunjin had fallen unconscious in water, the Taos claid she was dead and were about to bury her. It was fortunate that Gu Ya ca in ti to take his daughter back ho, preventing the Taos from actually burying her. Mrs. Shen still felt gratitude towards her son-in-law, Gu Ya, for that incident.
Upon seeing Gu Ya, Mrs. Shen hurried over with a smile, “Son-in-law, you’re here?”
“Mother!” Gu Ya called Mrs. Shen, who smiled and nodded at Gu Ya, then invited him inside, “Son-in-law, co, just hand the stead eggs to , and then please co sit inside!”
Seeing that Gu Ya was holding two bowls of stead eggs while her own daughter carried nothing, Mrs. Shen gave her daughter a reproachful look, “Yunjin, how can you let your husband work as soon as he arrives?”
“Mother, I wanted to help Yunjin,” Gu Ya said.
