The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 228 - Chapter 228 Chapter 227 Ignorant of Favors

Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Ignorant of Favors Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Ignorant of Favors In the few days since the family split, there have been many chores to attend to, and Su Yunjin and her husband, Gu Ya, have been settling for whatever food was available. Now that the kitchen stove is set up and the kitchen cleaned up, it’s all coming together.

After being busy for so many days, Su Yunjin decided to put together a proper feast that evening to treat herself and Gu Ya to a lovely meal. She checked the house to see what edible vegetables they had left, and all she found were the eggs her second sister had brought over. They had eaten some already, and now there were about five or six left in the house.

But just eating eggs is no fun!

The wild vegetables she gathered last time in the village were good, and if she could add those to the eggs, it would be perfect! So, Su Yunjin planned to go outside to dig up some wild vegetables to eat.

With a basket in tow and a sickle in hand, she informed Gu Ya in the house and prepared to leave. When Gu Ya learned that his young wife was going to dig up wild vegetables, he asked her to be careful, told her not to go too deep into the mountains, and also reminded her to avoid the riverbanks.

Gu Ya still gets shivers thinking about the last time his young wife fell into the water while gathering wild vegetables at her parents’ house.

Su Yunjin got a bit impatient, thinking why Gu Ya, a grown man, was more of a fussbudget than a woman? “I know, Husband, I’m not a child, why are you nattering on so much, are you even a man?”

Gu Ya’s handsome face stiffened!

It immediately took on a difficult expression!

This ungrateful little thing.

Wasn’t he just worried about her? That’s why he went on and on, wasn’t it?

And her, well!

She even dared to question whether he was a man?

It seemed Su Yunjin realized she might have gone too far with her words, but then she saw Gu Ya, his handsome face flushed with retort, “Yunjin, you don’t know whether I’m a man or not? Shall we give it another try sometime?”

Any man would be unhappy being doubted by his woman! And Gu Ya, a man, would not be pleased to be doubted by his little wife either.

Gu Ya looked as if he was ready to take off his clothes and prove it to her there and then.

Now it was Su Yunjin’s turn to be speechless!

Pah, shameless man, who wants to test it with him? Let him test it himself, all he wants. She, Su Yunjin, had no interest in testing it out with him.

“Your leg isn’t even healed yet! How dare you think about these frivolous things. You’d better heal your leg wound first!”

Gu Ya said, “Even if my leg isn’t healed, I can still do it! Why don’t we verify that right now?”

“…” Su Yunjin fell silent. She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to agree to ‘verify’ it with Gu Ya! Although Gu Ya had a good build, Su Yunjin was not interested in verifying anything with him.

The conversation ended there, and Su Yunjin, basket slung over her arm, walked out, leaving Gu Ya alone in the house with a grim face. The Gu Family village was located in the mountains, where plants thrived untouched by pollution in ancient times, so finding wild vegetables was easy. Su Yunjin figured she would pick some water celery for soup, dig up some Houttuynia Cordata for a cold dish, and pluck some tender potherb mustard to stir fry for an instant variety of three dishes.

Heading up the mountain, Su Yunjin saw fresh tender water celery by the side of a small river. She bent down and picked a big handful of it.

She would pick extra to take back, some to share with her fifth brother’s wife and her husband. She also planned to give some to her mother-in-law and father-in-law.

After gathering enough water celery, Su Yunjin continued up the mountain. She saw a man coming down, carrying bows and arrows on his back, a Beast Skin around his waist, and several wild chickens and rabbits shot with arrows in his hand.

Seeing the man’s attire, Su Yunjin knew at a glance that he must be a hunter. The mountain path was narrow, and as she approached the man, Su Yunjin conscientiously moved to the side to give the hunter space to pass.

But the hunter didn’t move on and instead stopped in front of her.
