Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Eating Idle Meals
“You don’t want it?”
Su Yunjin raised an eyebrow at Gu Ya.
Hadn’t he just complained about the bitterness of the medicine?
And now he was refusing candy?
“Yunjin, you eat the candy. I don’t want it,” Gu Ya said.
Su Yunjin gave Gu Ya a blank look.
She thought he was just being shy.

She directly stuffed the candy into Gu Ya’s hand, “Just eat it when I give it to you, you’re a grown man, what’s with all the dilly-dallying?”
She had silenced her husband with a remark.
Just as Gu Ya was about to retort,
Yunjin added, “What? Is your hand too injured to eat candy that I need to feed you?”
Thinking back to the previous incident when he tricked her into feeding him medicine,
Gu Ya’s handsome face immediately stiffened unnaturally.
Looking at the piece of candy in the palm of his hand,
Gu Ya still felt that the candy was more suitable for Yunjin to eat.
What does a grown man like him need with candy?
As Su Yunjin watched Gu Ya, she saw him pick up the candy from his palm and thought he was going to eat it. But to her surprise, he suddenly stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth.
“Yunjin, you should eat the candy!”
“…” With a piece of candy suddenly stuffed into her mouth by Gu Ya, Su Yunjin was speechless.
The meal was set up in the courtyard. Mrs. Chu called for Su Yunjin. Since Gu Ya’s leg was broken and he couldn’t get out of bed, Yunjin first brought his meal before she went out to eat with everyone else.
Lunch was prepared by Mrs. Chu, and there weren’t many dishes on the table, unlike the meals made by Yunjin. Yunjin always made sure to prepare several dishes for each meal.
Today, there were only two bowls of green vegetables and a dish of pickled radishes on the table. By the time Yunjin went out, most of the dishes had already been eaten. As soon as Mrs. Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law, saw Yunjin, she started to speak with a strange inflection, “Oh, look who’s here to freeload? Acting like the lady of the house every day, not lifting a finger to work, and still waiting to be called for meals.”
“Isn’t that the truth? How different it is for us! Our third sister-in-law has her mother’s favoritism, she can get away with doing nothing, but it’s not the same for us! Our mother doesn’t favor us, so we couldn’t possibly enjoy the same fortune as the third sister-in-law.”
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han took turns making comments, all implying that Su Yunjin was freeloading. Initially, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han were already quite unhappy that Yunjin didn’t have to work in the fields.
Later, after Yunjin went back to the Su Family because of an issue with her second sister, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han both felt that Yunjin had gone back to the Su Family to slack off.
Now, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han were both intent on splitting the household as soon as possible, and their speech lacked any consideration. They weren’t afraid of causing a rift and had already made a fuss about it in the fields.
And now they were at it again. In addition to saying that Yunjin did nothing but freeload, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han’s every sentence was an accusation against Mrs. An for favoring Su Yunjin.
They said Mrs. An was biased.
In the fields, when Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han made a fuss about splitting the family, Mrs. An not only refused but also scolded them, leaving Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han feeling resentful.
They felt that their mother-in-law, Mrs. An, was being overly biased. The reason Mrs. An would not agree to split the family was none other than because of Gu Ya, her youngest son. She worried that Gu Ya and his wife Yunjin would not be able to manage if they separated.
That’s why she disagreed with the division.
“Eldest daughter-in-law, fourth daughter-in-law, how has Mother favored your third brother and third sister-in-law?” Mrs. An’s demeanor grew unpleasant. She knew what Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han’s intentions were—they wanted to split the household and push out the couple that was her third son and his wife.
“Is it not the case?”
Mrs. Zhang looked toward Yunjin, who had just sat down, and sneered, “The third sister-in-law does nothing in the Gu Family house and you say nothing about it, Mother. Isn’t this favoritism? If it were us, would you let us do nothing in the Gu Family house?”
