Chapter 552: Love Needs to be Expressed Positively
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Aunt Zhang asked hesitantly, “Gu Zi, isn’t it too extravagant to use this for Shi Tou? Shouldn’t we just use some saltwater instead? ” As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Shi Tou, blaming him for his gluttony and causing trouble.
Su Shen brought over the burn ointment. It was a small tube, just long enough to match an adult’s index finger and as thick as a thumb. It was clearly a precious item. Aunt Zhang felt even more embarrassed, but she couldn’t bring herself to refuse it for her grandson. Deep down, she wanted him to benefit from this excellent medicine.
Gu Zi pulled Shi Tou over, took the ointment from Su Shen, opened it, and punctured the seal with the cap. She squeezed out the bright yellow ointment, carefully applying it to Shi Tou’s wound while speaking to Aunt Zhang, “Is any medicine too expensive when it comes to someone’s well-being? I have it here specifically for Shi Tou. If I didn’t, then we would indeed have to resort to saltwater.” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
“Aunt Zhang, you’re not being fair. You clearly care about him so much, but you speak as if he’s not important. Love needs to be expressed positively. Do you want Shi Tou to show his care for you in such a negative way?”
Gu Zi said this, but she understood Aunt Zhang’s mentality. Many women living in this era share similar sentiments. They might sound harsh to their loved ones, but they genuinely care about them.
People like them often find themselves in a state of irritation, perhaps due to the overwhelming household chores and lack of help. When constantly busy, their words often don’t match their hearts.
Furthermore, Aunt Zhang was a straightforward person. She didn’t beat around the bush and often spoke bluntly, sometimes to the point of discomfort. But her intentions were not so. She cared for her grandson but also feared causing trouble for others, hence her behavior.
As the ointment was applied to Shi Tou’s little hand, he finally stopped whimpering. He looked at Gu Zi in surprise and said, “Fairy Sister, it’s cold and doesn’t hurt anymore! Grandma, don’t worry. I won’t treat you like this. Let’s eat roasted sweet potatoes together. I’m so hungry!”
