Mrs. An, having heard that her son went to investigate the true cause of the fire at Zuixiang Restaurant, stopped fussing over Gu Ya and said she would go to make chicken soup for Su Yunjin, "Yunjin, you're pregnant now. You must eat well to nourish your body. How about this! I will go back right now and simmer a pot of chicken soup for you to eat."
Mrs. An was busy with plans to go back and make chicken soup for Su Yunjin when Yunjin stopped her.
"Mom, there's no need. My husband made chicken soup for me this morning, and there's still half a pot left!" It was hot outside, and she feared the half pot of chicken soup would sour, so she had placed the iron pot containing the soup in cool water to keep it from spoiling. The soup could sit all morning without losing its flavor. Once Mrs. An heard that there was chicken soup already, she didn't insist on making more for Yunjin.
