Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Rich Now Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Rich Now “Ahem!”
Gu Ya cleared his throat.
His handsome face turned a bit red, “No!”
She had thought that Gu Ya wanted to visit the privy again.
“Yunjin, I have something to give you,” Gu Ya said.
Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya curiously, wondering what he had for her.
But she saw Gu Ya pull a purse from under his pillow and give it to her, “Yunjin, this is for you.”
“What’s in here?” Su Yunjin took the purse, weighed it in her hand, and found it quite heavy. Jokingly, she asked Gu Ya, “It couldn’t be silver, could it?”
“Mm! It is silver,” Gu Ya nodded.
“What? It really is silver?” Su Yunjin was now surprised. She had mentioned silver to Gu Ya in jest.
She had not expected Gu Ya to actually say it was silver.
Su Yunjin opened the purse and found that there were indeed fifteen taels of silver inside. The large amount of silver startled her even more, “Husband, where did you get all this silver from?”
“Yunjin, take this silver. It’s enough to redeem your elder brother’s indenture contract. Keep the rest of the silver for yourself! After we separate our family affairs, consider it our household fund.”
Gu Ya had promised to help his wife redeem her brother’s indenture contract, and he was certainly going to keep his promise. Now, with this silver, his wife could definitely redeem her brother.
Su Yunjin still looked at Gu Ya and asked, “Husband, you still haven’t told me where you got this silver from? How did you manage to get so much money in just these few days?”
Since Gu Ya had returned from the Su Family and subsequently broken his leg, barely a few days had passed, and Su Yunjin really couldn’t understand where Gu Ya had earned so much silver from.
Could all this silver have been earned from hunting in the mountains before he broke his leg?
Considering this possibility, Su Yunjin tentatively asked, “Could it be from your hunting?”
Gu Ya had intended to keep his trips to the mountains a secret from his wife, but now, he saw no reason to hide it any longer.
This time, Gu Ya didn’t deny it, “Indeed, Yunjin, this silver was earned from hunting in the mountains.” Small game like wild chickens and ducks couldn’t sell for much, but now that Gu Ya had earned fifteen taels of silver, could it be that he had encountered something big?
“Husband, what did you catch in the mountains that could sell for so much silver?”
Su Yunjin’s guess was correct. Gu Ya had indeed encountered a big game in the mountains. While he was hunting, just as he was preparing to descend, he suddenly encountered a wild wolf. Such big game is rare, and moreover, a wild wolf could fetch around thirty taels of silver at a market tavern.
Faced with such big game, Gu Ya naturally wasn’t willing to let it go easily. But with his limp, he definitely couldn’t take it down alone.
It just so happened that he saw a hunter from the same village come up for hunting, so Gu Ya decided to hunt the wolf with this fellow hunter.
Gu Ya was good with the bow.
With two arrows fired, he hit the wolf’s front legs, and the other hunter, coordinating with Gu Ya, hit the wolf’s belly. The wolf, struck by three arrows, was significantly weakened.
Gu Ya and the hunter worked together, and after some effort, they finally took down the wolf. They thought the wolf was dead, but just as Gu Ya and the hunter were about to tie it up, the wolf suddenly jumped up, and at that moment, Gu Ya met with an accident and fell down the mountain.
