46 -46: Thought About Many Things

After dinner the sky had already darkened, Gu Youyou climbed into bed to rest, while Jin Zijin still took the clothes he had changed out of to the riverside to wash.

At this time of night, and in the month of November, the water in the river must be unimaginably cold.

Doing this, he’s likely to get frostbite, she feared.

Gu Youyou thought that perhaps she should find a way to prepare some herbal medicine, to concoct some frostbite remedy for him to keep on hand.

Once the freshly washed clothes were hung under the eaves, Jin Zijin finally finished his chores.

Likewise, Jin Zijin’s body was very hot, abnormally so.

But he was highly vigilant.

Each time Gu Youyou tried to stealthily check his pulse, he would wake up.

Looking at his complexion, she couldn’t discern any illness, he seemed very robust, but this body temperature…

It remained a major concern in Gu Youyou’s mind.

The icy bed became extremely warm with Jin Zijin’s presence. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Other than their wedding night, Jin Zijin hadn’t done anything to her since, and even she found it hard to believe that he simply held a woman every night to sleep, and did absolutely nothing more.

Before, Gu Youyou was so thin it was frightening, but now it was different.

She had gained some weight and could at least be considered a slim beauty.

And yet, no reaction from him?

“Uncle Jin?”

“Jin Zijin?”

“Zijin?”

Gu Youyou wanted to talk with him about dealing with her dowry, and also to ensure they had enough food supplies for the winter, but calling out for a while got no response.

She extended her hand and pushed his chest, only to be impatiently caught by a large hand.

Jin Zijin’s voice, laced with sleepiness, came from beside her ear, “Stop it, sleep!”

Gu Youyou: “…”

Gu Youyou, with her cold body, snuggled into the warmth of the man’s embrace for warmth, and before she knew it, her heart was also enveloped in warmth.

Gu Youyou generally couldn’t sleep much at night, and in the darkness, she lay with her eyes open thinking about many things, going over and over the past, the present, and the future!

Since arriving in this world, this had become her habit.

In her previous life, Gu Youyou was too willful, she thought too much about everything.

In defense of the wealth left by her parents, she engaged in a battle of wits with the extended Gu Family, and she ultimately emerged victorious.

But she didn’t know how to keep a low profile and even flaunted her unique status quite ostentatiously, suppressing her defeated uncles and cousins in every way and thus drew disaster upon herself!

This life, she thought a lot and didn’t plan to live the same way anymore.

As long as one is alive, that is more important than anything.

Some things are external possessions, and what can be let go should be let go of.

That dowry had caused Huang Xiangwen to administer Rat Poison to her, hadn’t it!

Of course, this didn’t mean she was easily bullied – to let go was only if she was willing.

If those people insisted on trying to steal what she wasn’t willing to give up, then she was determined to defend it to the death.

No matter what, one must have a bottom line.

Jin Zijin had left early that morning, saying he would return later than usual as he was going to the town to buy some food since their home was running low on stock.

If she got hungry, he told Gu Youyou to just roast some sweet potatoes for herself.

Roasting sweet potatoes was the only living skill Gu Youyou had learned thus far.

Wang Shun came around noon, still bringing a bundle of firewood.

Wang Shun would go hunting in the mountains with Jin Zijin every few days.

He wasn’t a full-time hunter; he had his own farmland and would only go up to the mountain when there was less work in the fields, hunting game to improve his family’s meals.

The majority of the firewood Jin Zijin used was delivered by Wang Shun, who would come every few days.

It was said that Wang Shun’s hunting skills were not good, but he always returned with a full load.

That was all thanks to Jin Zijin’s help, so helping Jin Zijin collect some firewood was his way of showing gratitude.
