CHAPTER 113: CHAPTER 113: LESS THAN PERFECT

Gu Mei came out and stood in the yard for a while, feeling a bit puzzled. She felt like she had achieved her goal, yet something seemed off.

She walked out deep in thought with her head down, and just as Jiang Erlang came in from outside, he was overjoyed to see Gu Mei and quickly adjusted his direction, heading straight toward her.

Gu Mei bumped right into Jiang Erlang’s chest.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Erlang held her shoulders and whispered, "Why are you walking so carelessly?"

As soon as Gu Mei looked up, she fell into Jiang Erlang’s gaze. His eyes stared straight at her as if they wanted to capture her soul.

At this moment, Jiang Erlang ambiguously stroked her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "You’re really beautiful. I wish you were my wife."

Gu Mei’s face turned crimson upon hearing this, and she hurriedly pushed Jiang Erlang away, running out quickly.

Jiang Erlang watched her back and licked his lips.

Gu Yunjiao was sitting by the window and saw everything clearly.

From her angle, she could only see Gu Mei’s back, but she felt that Gu Mei’s emotions were not anger and embarrassment, but shyness.

Ha, no wonder that day when she reminded Gu Mei, instead, she was retorted.

Suddenly, she had a feeling, marrying into the village chief’s house with a simple man like Suo Zhu, the good hand Gu Mei is holding might be ruined by her one day.

Gu Mei returned home with a blush on her face, carrying a book. Sun glanced at the book in her hand, "Oh? You got this medical book from your sister, didn’t you? Are you planning to learn medicine as well?"

Gu Mei vaguely agreed and went into her room, casually throwing the book aside.

She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her radiant face in the mirror, smiled gently, and then frowned again.

If you say every part of her life is going smoothly now.

They could eat meat once every ten days or so at home, and eggs were also frequent, quite similar to her family’s previous standard of living.

The chores of the big family were done by three daughters-in-law in rotation, once every three days, manageable.

Suo Zhu was obedient too; whatever she said was how things were.

The only flaw was her relationship with Suo Zhu. He, well, the time he takes is too short!

Every time, just as she’s beginning to enjoy herself, Suo Zhu finishes, leaving her incredibly uncomfortable.

Yet, Suo Zhu doesn’t realize it and thinks himself perfectly normal.

She had to maintain the image of a newlywed wife who knows nothing, so she couldn’t expose him.

Besides, what good would exposing him do?

Speaking of strength in that area, it reminded her of someone—Jiang Erlang.

Thinking about this, Gu Mei’s face turned even redder.

Then, she suddenly thought of something else and her expression quickly cooled.

Just after sending Gu Mei away, Gu Yunjiao heard someone shouting in the yard again, "Doctor Gu—"

Gu Yunjiao got up and went outside; it was the young man who had invited her to the Sun Family for a consultation the other day. She heard the old woman call him Sun Jin.

"What’s the matter? Is it your sister-in-law feeling unwell again?"

Sun Jin seemed a bit embarrassed seeing Gu Yunjiao, "My sister-in-law is fine, she just had some eggs. I don’t know why, but my grandmother asked you to come over again."

Gu Yunjiao nodded, "Let me get my medicine chest."

Once the chest was out, Sun Jin hurriedly took it, and they left together.

Sun Jin’s grandmother, Aunt Huang, was waiting in the main room. She first ordered tea to be served, then sent her grandson away, and said, "Doctor Gu, I really don’t know how to handle this matter, so I could only ask you to come and discuss it."
