Chương 1: Chapter 1 Falling into Water
"Is she saved?"
When they heard that Gu Family's daughter-in-law had fallen into the water, they weren't sure if she could be saved! Those who went to see all said it was hopeless. She has already been unconscious for nearly a whole day and night.
Someone in the crowd said, "Ah, the Gu Family has had such bad luck lately, they finally borrowed money to bring a daughter-in-law into the family, and she falls into the water on her return to her parents' home!
"Right, do you know how that daughter-in-law of the Gu Family fell into the water at her parents' home?"
Someone asked curiously.
"Who knows? I heard she was digging for wild vegetables in the village and accidentally fell in! But we didn't see it with our own eyes! In my opinion, it's likely that Gu Family's daughter-in-law was seeking a short life for herself, considering how poor her in-laws are, and with a husband who is a cripple, who could bear such a life?"
A few women outside the courtyard of the Gu Family were gossiping noisily, all talking at once! Lying unconscious in the room, Su Yunjin stirred uncomfortably at the noise outside and opened her eyes!
The earth-built walls, cluttered with odds and ends, and the dilapidated thatched cottage!
Where is this?
Why is it so noisy outside?
Falling into the water?
Who fell into the water?
Su Yunjin looked around, bewildered by the scene before her eyes!
She thought she was dreaming!
Moreover, her body felt very weak.
Before Su Yunjin could figure things out,
She fainted again.
The fainting Su Yunjin didn't know that she, or rather the original body, had been unconscious for two days, and those outside were discussing how to deal with her!
Inside the courtyard!
The atmosphere was somber!
Mrs. Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law, spoke first, "Mother, the doctor said that the third brother's wife is beyond help. I think we needn't waste silver on her medicine anymore. Our Gu Family is nearly too poor to open the pot, with that spare money, wouldn't it be better to buy some meat to nourish everyone?"
Mrs. Han, the fourth brother's wife, agreed, "Mother, the eldest sister-in-law is right, the third sister-in-law has been unconscious for a day now. If she were going to wake up, she would have done so already. Why waste more money? Our household isn't what it used to be. With father and the third brother, one bedridden and one lame, we owe debts everywhere and need money for everything. Any money we have should be spent where it's most needed. Spending it on the third sister-in-law is like watching good silver being thrown into the water."
"But the doctor said the third brother's wife isn't completely without hope, she still might wake up, ..."
Mrs. An, the mother-in-law, still wanted to insist on treating Su Yunjin further. The Gu Family had spent a substantial amount of money in marrying Su Yunjin.
That was five taels of silver!
Enough to cover the Gu Family's expenses for half a year!
Three taels of which were borrowed from a senior member of the Gu Family.
And it still hadn't been repaid.
How much could a doctor cost?
At most a hundred or so copper coins.
But if they really didn't save her, those five taels of silver spent by the Gu Family would have gone to waste! That would truly be a tremendous loss.
But that was secondary!
The most important reason was that Gu Ya's leg was lame! Half a year ago, while hunting in the mountains to save his father, he fell and broke his left leg, leaving him a cripple.
A cripple with a broken leg!
In normal families, who would be willing to marry their daughter to their son?
Now, Mrs. An wasn't hoping for anything but that the Su Yunjin in the house would be alright.
Fearing to spend more money on Su Yunjin.
Mrs. Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law, and Mrs. Han, the fourth brother's wife, were both egging on Mrs. An to throw Su Yunjin into the mountains to feed the wolves.
