The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 2107: Refusing to Agree

The maid came to report that Mrs. An had left, and Su Yunjin didn’t mind. It was just as well Mrs. An left, saving her from more trouble.

Su Yunjin paid no attention to Mrs. An’s visit today seeking someone, not taking it to heart.

Gu Ya returned and asked, "Yun Niang, did Mother come to see you today?"

"Husband, how do you know?" Su Yunjin was momentarily surprised, then quickly caught on, "Could it be that Mother also went to the distillery to find you today?" Su Yunjin stared at Gu Ya, and even though he hadn’t answered yet, she was already sure of her guess from his facial expression.

There it was! Why did Mrs. An leave so promptly today? Turns out she actually went to the distillery to find Gu Ya.

"Husband, did you agree to Mother’s request?" Su Yunjin asked again.

Afraid that Gu Ya might soften and agree, Su Yunjin promptly advised him, "Husband, you must not agree to Mother’s request. A person like Fourth Brother brings bad luck to anyone who marries him. We cannot send the maids into the fire pit. If we agree to Mother’s request, aren’t we ruining the maids’ lives in the household?"

The young wife appeared genuinely concerned, and Gu Ya couldn’t help but find it amusing, "Yun Niang, do you perceive me as someone who cannot discern right from wrong?" Such unreasonable requests from Mrs. An, naturally Gu Ya wouldn’t agree. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"No, no." Su Yunjin hurriedly shook her head and leaned closer to Gu Ya, "Of course, you are not someone who can’t distinguish right from wrong; I just fear you might have a moment of softness and agree with Mother."

Just as Su Yunjin finished speaking, Gu Ya’s large hand gently rested on top of her head.

"Yun Niang, rest assured! This matter concerns the maid’s lifetime, and I won’t make a rash decision." Mrs. An had indeed gone to the distillery to speak with Gu Ya, expressing the intent to seek someone for Gu Tiezhu. Gu Ya had firmly refused Mrs. An right then.

Mrs. An, not getting her way with her son, felt suffocated with frustration. After Gu Ya refused Mrs. An’s request, he arranged for her to be sent back to the Gu Family.

Mrs. An was unsuccessful in her endeavor and naturally wouldn’t let it go. Upon returning, she relayed the matter to Gu Chengxiang, "Child’s father, don’t you think the third couple is too much? I just wanted to get a maid as a wife for their Fourth Brother, and they refuse. In their eyes, it seems like they don’t consider me their mother at all!"

The more Mrs. An spoke, the angrier she became; it was one thing for Su Yunjin not to comply, but even her own son wouldn’t heed her.

Having complained in front of Gu Chengxiang for quite some time, Mrs. An then urged him to seek someone, "Child’s father, usually the third couple listens to you. Why don’t you go to the third household and ask for someone? Our Fourth now doesn’t even have a woman by his side, and Tiezhu is our own son. You wouldn’t want Tiezhu without a woman to serve him, right?"

"Serves him right! In my view, the third couple has done nothing wrong. Our son’s like that, marrying him is just harming others. In this matter, the third couple has acted correctly, and I won’t go to request someone for Fourth Brother. You can go yourself if you wish. I certainly won’t partake in causing harm." Gu Tiezhu had been nagged by Mrs. An for half the day, becoming quite impatient. Having said his part, Gu Tiezhu stood up and headed outside.

Mrs. An was bewildered and immediately cried out, "Child’s father, what are you saying? Are you possessed? Is that something a father should say?"

Gu Chengxiang ignored Mrs. An, feeling instead it was she who was possessed.

Su Yunjin also believed that Gu Ya wouldn’t be so muddled.

After listening to Gu Ya, Su Yunjin tilted her head to look at him, asking, "Husband, since we both didn’t agree to Mother’s request, do you think Mother will come to stir things up again?"
