The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 245 - Chapter 245 Chapter 245 Supposed to Be

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Supposed to Be Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Supposed to Be Mrs. Chu sounded a bit breathless when she spoke.

It was clear that Mrs. Chu must have run over.

A bit embarrassed, she looked at Su Yunjin and said, “Third sister-in-law, there was so much to buy, I forgot the time.”

“No worries, sister-in-law, I just got here too,” Su Yunjin said with a smile.

Seeing a bag of flour in Mrs. Chu’s arms, Su Yunjin casually asked, “Sister-in-law, did you also buy flour?”

“Aluo, that little girl, loves to eat wheat cakes, so I bought some flour to go back and make some steamed buns for her.” While saying this, Mrs. Chu looked around and, seeing no ox cart nearby, added, “Third sister-in-law, the ox cart hasn’t arrived; I’m afraid we might have to wait a bit longer.”

“There’s a big rock up ahead; let’s go sit there and wait.” Su Yunjin and Mrs. Chu both were carrying a lot, so waiting while sitting would be more comfortable.

Thus, the two sisters-in-law headed to the shade of a tree up ahead to sit and wait.

Apart from them, there were also quite a few other people waiting for the cart. When the ox cart arrived, there were nearly ten people standing there. Mrs. Chu, worried they wouldn’t be able to get on and would have to wait for the next one, hurriedly pulled Su Yunjin to secure a spot and sat down. Su Yunjin, sitting on the ox cart, felt somewhat cramped; sitting on it wasn’t comfortable.

“Third sister-in-law, that’s how it is when there are too many people! We just have to endure it a bit,” Mrs. Chu said, also squeezed uncomfortably, especially since the woman sitting next to her was quite plump.

The weather was hot, and it was crowded on the cart; no one was in the mood for idle chatter, and Mrs. Chu wasn’t as talkative as she had been with the other women on the ride over.

At this moment, everyone sat quietly on the cart, waiting to get off.

Finally, getting back to the village, Mrs. Chu was the first to take out money to pay the cart driver. Su Yunjin didn’t argue with Mrs. Chu over it. Since she had paid on the way here, she let Mrs. Chu pay this time.

Actually, if Mrs. Chu hadn’t paid, Su Yunjin would have done so when they got back. Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Chu, was a good person, and the cart fare wasn’t expensive. Helping her out with the fare once or twice was not something Su Yunjin would fuss about.

Today, both Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han were not at home, with both women’s whereabouts unknown. When Su Yunjin and Mrs. Chu returned, only their fifth brother, Gu Jianghai, was in the courtyard.

Su Yunjin greeted her fifth brother, Gu Jianghai, with a smile and then carried her basket back to her room. Gu Ya was lying down inside the house sleeping, but as soon as he heard his wife’s voice, he immediately sat up in bed.

When Su Yunjin opened the door and walked in, Gu Ya looked at her with a touch of surprise. “Yunjin, you’re back?”

“Yes!” she replied, nodding at Gu Ya, and then started to put down the basket she had carried on her back.

Seeing the heavy load his wife had been carrying, Gu Ya asked, “Yunjin, what did you buy?”

“Medicine, for father and you; and also meat, flour, and lard,” Su Yunjin elaborated as she took the items out of the basket to show Gu Ya.

Gu Ya was a bit astonished, “Yunjin, you bought so much?” His slender and delicate wife had carried all these things? Seeing his wife’s face covered in sweat, Gu Ya then asked, “Are you tired?”

“Not tired! It’s just a bit hot.” Su Yunjin’s trip to the market hadn’t been exhausting, as she had taken a ride both ways. Gu Ya looked at the items on the table and thought that if his leg hadn’t been injured, he would have been able to carry all of those things for his wife.

Looking down at his legs, which were still bound with wooden boards, Gu Ya resolved to heal quickly, so he could fulfill his role as a man.

Otherwise, if he just lay in bed all the time while his wife took care of him, Gu Ya himself would feel quite uneasy.

He was supposed to be the one looking after his wife, but now not only did she have to tend to him, but she also had to bustle about doing various chores.
