The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 98 - Good Daughter-in-law
Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Good Daughter-in-law
Su Xiaobao’s neck and arms were covered in bruises, and Su Zhongshi, being a rough man, was certainly not suitable for applying ointment to a child. Su Yunjin’s aunt, Su Xiang’e, had gone to the kitchen to help Su Yunjin’s mother cook, and since Gu Ya was a man as well, the only one left suitable to apply the ointment on Su Xiaobao was Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin took the ointment from Gu Ya’s hand, scooped a little onto her hand, and carefully applied it to the back of Su Xiaobao’s neck. Then, she had Su Xiaobao roll up his sleeves and also applied ointment to the bruised areas on his little arms.
Gu Ya, standing to the side, watched his young wife’s face seriously as she applied ointment to her little brother-in-law, and couldn’t help but think back to the occasion when his young wife had been applying ointment to his back.
The hands of his young wife, that now busied themselves with Xiaobao, were the same ones that had gently smoothed ointment across his back. Her hands were soft and tender, and Gu Ya vividly recalled the gentle touch of her hands on his back.

The warm contact, as well as the delicate skin of his wife’s fingertips.
Just thinking about these things!
...
Gu Ya felt his mouth go dry and his tongue parched.
His father-in-law was right there!
Fearing that his father-in-law might notice something amiss, Gu Ya dared not continue to gaze at his young wife’s hands.
Gu Ya’s eyes drifted elsewhere without meaning to.
Su Yunjin knew how to massage, and while applying the ointment, she also gave Su Xiaobao a gentle massage. The ointment penetrated the bruised areas, and gradually, Su Xiaobao began to feel less discomfort.
“Sister, I think I feel a bit better,” Su Xiaobao turned his head to look at Su Yunjin. His black eyes were large and bright, showing that the little guy was very pleased. He remembered that the ointment was given by Gu Ya and turned to him, saying gratefully, “Brother-in-law, thank you for the ointment.”
Gu Ya first glanced at his young wife before telling his little brother-in-law, “Good boy, you don’t need to be so polite with your brother-in-law!”
Gu Ya spoke tenderly, his gaze never leaving Su Yunjin, staying fixed on her even as he responded to Su Xiaobao. Su Yunjin wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the word “good” that Gu Ya had just said to Su Xiaobao seemed like it was actually meant for her.
With a flutter in her heart, Su Yunjin’s hand lost its gentle touch when applying the ointment, causing Su Xiaobao to grimace in pain and let out a couple of yelps, “Ouch, third sister, be gentle, be gentle!”
“Sorry! I wasn’t paying attention just now!” Su Yunjin hurriedly apologized to Su Xiaobao. Hearing Gu Ya’s soft laughter, Su Yunjin glared at him. It was all his fault; if not for him, she wouldn’t have hurt Su Xiaobao just now.
Once Su Xiaobao was taken care of, it was time to apply ointment on her second sister, Su Ningxiu. “Second sister, the ointment brother-in-law gave is really comfortable after being applied. I’m done, you should let third sister help you with it!”
“Second sister, I’ll help you with it now!” Su Yunjin said, not thinking too much about it, but Su Ningxiu was quite embarrassed, “Little sister, I—” Unlike Su Xiaobao, Su Ningxiu was an unmarried maiden, and it was not appropriate to expose certain areas of her body to men. With two grown men in the room, how could she possibly feel comfortable letting Su Yunjin apply ointment on her?
Gu Ya realized this as well and, without waiting for his young wife to speak up, tactfully exited the room, saying, “Yunjin, you apply the ointment to your second sister. I’ll step outside.”
