Chapter 177 -177 Accident

“Pah! Truly cursed luck! How come he didn’t just die when he fell from the mountain? Would’ve saved us so much trouble. Now we have to spend money to treat him! Does he really think our Gu Family is made of money?”

“Right? The foundations of our Gu Family have already been nearly emptied by that couple, and now this fall from the mountain? Who knows how much silver this will cost us this time?”

Eldest sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang and fourth sister-in-law Mrs. Han were exchanging these spiteful remarks in the courtyard, not even worrying about being overheard by their mother-in-law Mrs. An.

Let her hear it, so much the better!

It’s time everyone went their separate ways.

Otherwise, if we keep being dragged down by Gu Ya and his wife, we might end up with nothing but northwest wind to drink!

At this very moment, Mrs. An, with an anxious look on her face, was waiting in Gu Ya’s room for the doctor to examine him, unaware of the mocking words Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han were saying in the courtyard.

Gu Ya’s fifth sister-in-law, Mrs. Chu, was also in the room.

Aside from Mrs. An and his father, only Gu Ya’s fifth brother and sister-in-law showed concern for his injuries from the fall.

“Doctor Liu, how is it? Can my son’s other leg be saved?” Mrs. An tentatively asked the doctor, her heart in her throat, terrified that her son’s other leg might end up lame as well.

Doctor Liu was the physician from the village who had set Gu Ya’s broken leg the last time he fell.

Mrs. An watched worriedly as Doctor Liu finished examining Gu Ya’s injuries.

Only then did he look up at Mrs. An and say, “Auntie An, it’s still uncertain! I’ll try to set the leg for the Gu family’s third son shortly, and only then can we determine if it’s possible to save the leg.”

“Doctor, I beg of you, you must cure my son’s leg! He’s already lame in one leg, and if the other becomes lame too… what will he do in the future?”

Mrs. An pleaded, grasping Doctor Liu’s arm.

At that moment.

Su Yunjin hurried back, “Mother, how is it? Is my husband alright?”

“Third sister-in-law, you’re back?” Mrs. Chu looked behind Su Yunjin at Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi, then said, “Uncle, auntie, you’re here too?”

Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi were full of worry for Gu Ya, hastily nodding at Mrs. Chu before rushing to Gu Ya’s bedside to check on him, “Son-in-law, how are you? What happened that you fell down the mountain like this?”

Lying in bed, Gu Ya had been silent the entire time, his handsome face devoid of much expression. Seeing his young wife and her family arrive, he first glanced at his wife, then said to his distressed parents-in-law, “Father, mother, I’m alright, just took a fall from the mountain, please don’t worry too much.”

“Don’t worry too much? The doctor just said it’s very likely your other leg will be lame too! If both your legs are lame, what are you and your wife going to do in the future?”

While feeling sorry for her son Gu Ya, Mrs. An also scolded him, “Yaya, what were you thinking, gallivanting on the mountain? After what happened a year ago, haven’t you learned anything? The house isn’t lacking a meal for you and your wife, so why the need to go hunting?”

“Mother, actually, my husband went because…” Su Yunjin knew better than anyone why Gu Ya went hunting on the mountain—it was for her elder brother. As she was about to explain that, Gu Ya interrupted, “Mother, I really went hunting up the mountain to earn some extra silver to help with the household expenses. I didn’t expect to have an accident.”
