The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 972 - Chapter 972 Chapter 972 Pretentious

Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Pretentious Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Pretentious Mrs. An’s health was poor, and Gu Chengxiang’s paralysis hadn’t improved.

She feared that Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang would worry.

After discussing with Gu Ya, Su Yunjin decided it would be better to keep the burning of the shop from them. She was afraid that the youngest brother’s wife might accidentally spill the beans.

Gu Ya even went out of his way to instruct Mrs. Chu and the others to keep the fire a secret. While Mrs. Chu and her side were keeping it under wraps, Mrs. Zhang deliberately told Mrs. An about the burnt shop of Yunjin and the others.

She feigned worry and sympathy, “Mother, you have no idea! The shop of the third brother and sister-in-law was so dreadfully burnt. When the daughter-in-law went to see it, all I saw was ashes, it was completely burnt to the ground. Nothing was left.”

Mrs. An was shocked.

What?

The shop of the third son and his wife was burnt? Mrs. An couldn’t believe it, and Mrs. Zhang let out a feigned sigh, “Mother, oh, it breaks my heart to see the third brother and his wife suffer such a loss. Just as they were getting on so well, who could have expected such a terrible mishap at their store?”

Mrs. Zhang put on a pretense of being heartbroken for Yunjin and her family, but deep down, she was actually revelling in their misfortune.

She was so delighted that she could hardly contain herself.

She refused to believe that Su Yunjin and her family could always be so lucky. Well, isn’t this proof? Now, Su Yunjin and her family’s little shop had been burnt to the ground.

It really was satisfying!

While Mrs. Zhang was being disingenuous, Mrs. An couldn’t register another word she said and hurriedly rushed to Su Yunjin’s home to confirm the truth of Mrs. Zhang’s words.

Could the shop of the third son and his wife really have been burnt down by someone?

Mrs. Zhang didn’t believe it.

Why would the shop of the third son and his wife be burnt down? Could it be because of her? Their shop was burnt down the day the couple returned.

Mrs. An felt guilty.

If it were really for her, how could she face the third son and his wife? Mrs. An hurried to Su Yunjin’s house.

Yunjin was alone in the yard, picking cucumbers. The cucumbers in the garden were crisp and sweet, which Yunjin found refreshing and thirst-quenching. She thought of picking a couple of cucumbers to eat.

She planned to make a cold cucumber dish with smashed garlic, perfect to accompany a bowl of porridge at noon. Since becoming pregnant, Yunjin’s appetite hadn’t been great.

She didn’t want anything too greasy. There was still a pot of chicken soup on the stove which Gu Ya had made for her in the morning, and over half was left. Yunjin figured she’d have some porridge and cucumber for lunch, and then eat a bowl of the remaining chicken soup, ensuring a balanced diet for the baby in her womb.

“Bang bang bang!” Hearing urgent knocks at the door, Yunjin, holding a cucumber, looked towards the entrance. Then she heard her mother-in-law, Mrs. An’s voice, “Yunjin, Yunjin? Yunjin, open the door. Hurry, open the door for me.”

Mrs. An?

Why had her mother-in-law come?

Could her mother-in-law have found out about the burning of their shop?

Mrs. An’s voice was anxious. Putting down the cucumber in her hand, Yunjin went to open the door. As soon as Mrs. An arrived, she asked anxiously, “Yunjin, your sister-in-law said that the shop owned by you and the third brother was burnt down. Is that true? Is what your sister-in-law said all true?”

Mrs. An was only half convinced by Mrs. Zhang’s words, for Mrs. Zhang’s words were seldom true. Mrs. An never fully trusted what her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, said.
