The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 27 - : Fighting
Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Fighting
Mrs. Zhang walked out of the courtyard carrying a hoe, and although she was still somewhat dissatisfied, it was indeed not bad that she finally got Su Yunjin to agree to cook.
For Mrs. Zhang, having Su Yunjin cook was better than letting her laze about at home, shirking her duties and doing nothing at all.
Su Yunjin went to the kitchen and saw that there were only a few sweet potatoes that could be used as vegetables. With the large Gu Family to feed, how could those few sweet potatoes be enough for everyone?
Besides, Su Yunjin was not willing to skimp on food for herself.
After pondering the few small sweet potatoes for a moment, Su Yunjin decided to go out into the village to dig up some wild vegetables to eat.
This place was in the mountains and it was ancient times, so surely there would be plenty of tasteful wild vegetables to be found outside, like bamboo shoots, tender sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, and other things.
...
Thinking about those delicious wild vegetables made Su Yunjin’s eyes shine.
Without delaying any further, Su Yunjin grabbed a sickle and slung a basket over her shoulder as she walked out of the Gu Family home.
The people of Gu Family Village knew about Su Yunjin’s previous accident of falling into the water and losing consciousness, and everyone had said Su Yunjin probably wouldn’t make it. So, when they saw Su Yunjin walking out with her vegetable basket in good condition, they were all somewhat surprised.
Nobody had expected Su Yunjin to be all right and up and about again.
As she walked, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but notice the stares from the people of Gu Family Village, and she also heard quite a few whispered gossips about her.
“The third daughter-in-law of the Gu Family woke up again? Wasn’t it said that she was beyond saving?”
“I don’t know, I seem to have heard the Gu Family’s eldest sister-in-law say that her brother’s wife miraculously woke up on her own. Even the doctor said she was all right after he checked.”
“Really? That’s so strange. To think she would wake up just fine on her own. And they say the third daughter-in-law from the Su Family tried to jump into the river because her man is crippled. Do you think she’ll try to jump again now that she’s awake?”
Su Yunjin originally didn’t want to bother with those gossipy village women, but as she saw them getting more and more excited about their chatter with no sign of stopping, she couldn’t help but stop and abruptly turned her gaze toward them, “Who told you that I tried to jump into the river because of a crippled man?”
Surprised by Su Yunjin’s sudden turn, the other women fell silent, feeling guilty—except for one bold woman, who snorted defiantly, “Isn’t that the case? The Gu Family is so poor now, your husband is a cripple, and who knows if you will have to support him in the future. If you don’t wanna jump into the river, isn’t it obvious to anyone with eyes? And you still won’t admit it!”
Su Yunjin looked at the woman who spoke, a sturdy figure with dark skin and teeth so yellow they stank. Su Yunjin recognized her—It was Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Zhang’s cousin and another person who loved to stir up trouble and gossip around the village, particularly close with her cousin Mrs. Zhang.
“Hmph, Gu Family’s third sister-in-law, if I were you, I’d jump into the river again. Living in a poor family, with a paralyzed father-in-law, and married to a man with a lame leg, you’re doomed to suffer in the Gu Family, with a whole bunch of mouths to feed. If you don’t jump into the river, do you expect that cripple to support you? Hahaha, hahaha,” Mrs. Feng sneered at Su Yunjin, her face full of mockery, and the surrounding people also laughed along.
“Slap!” Su Yunjin stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Feng across the face. Mrs. Feng, who had not expected Su Yunjin to hit her, was stunned.

The other women around quieted down immediately, staring at Su Yunjin speechless.
Su Yunjin pulled back her hand, feeling the sting on her face as the pain began to register. Only then did Mrs. Feng come back to her senses, pointing at Su Yunjin while cursing like a shrew, “You black-hearted, vile woman, how dare you hit me? Just watch, I will tear apart your mouth and show you my strength.”
