Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Let Bygones Be Bygones Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Let Bygones Be Bygones “Sister-in-law, we have a visitor at home.”
As soon as Su Yunjin emerged, Mrs. Chu told her with a smile, “He’s here to see your third brother!”
Su Yunjin furrowed her brows, looking at the man following behind Mrs. Chu. He seemed familiar–where had she seen him before? As Su Yunjin examined the man, he in turn was looking at her.
Recognizing Su Yunjin, the man was instantly startled and slightly apprehensive. At that moment, Su Yunjin also remembered–wasn’t this man the same clerk she had met at Fuman Building that day?
At the time, she wanted to meet Fuman Building’s manager, Mr. Liu, and had hoped this clerk would introduce her, but he flatly refused without any hesitation.
Thankfully, there was Brother Wang Meng; otherwise, on her visit to Fuman Building that day, she wouldn’t have known if she could have met Mr. Liu. Su Yunjin scrutinized the clerk from top to bottom!
How did a clerk from Fuman Building end up at the Gu Family?
And furthermore, he was here to see her husband, Gu Ya?
The man felt very uneasy under Su Yunjin’s gaze, yet he stepped forward and said, “Madam, I am sorry. I didn’t know that day that you were Brother Gu’s wife. If I’d known you were Brother Gu’s wife, I certainly would have made the introduction! I hope you won’t blame the ignorant, and not take that last incident to heart, Madam!”
Su Yunjin was not a petty person, and since the clerk had said as much, she naturally wouldn’t hold any more grudges.
What she was really curious about was why this man had come to the Gu Family to see her husband, Gu Ya. “You’re here to see my husband?”
The clerk nodded, “Madam, indeed, I have come today to find Brother Gu.”
“What do you want with him?” Su Yunjin knew that before Gu Ya’s legs were crippled, all the game he hunted was sold at Fuman Building.
If it were in the past, Su Yunjin wouldn’t find it strange for a clerk from Fuman Building to seek out Gu Ya. But now that Gu Ya’s legs were broken, and he hadn’t yet recovered, the clerk’s visit puzzled her greatly.
The clerk said, “Madam, I am here on the orders of our manager, Mr. Liu. Brother Gu had previously helped our tavern’s Accountant with the accounts. Recently, the Accountant had to leave, and the tavern is lacking someone to keep the accounts. Moreover, business has been exceptionally good lately, meaning there’s even more accounting to be done. Manager Liu couldn’t find a suitable person for the task on short notice, so he thought of Brother Gu’s outstanding accounting skills. That’s why he sent me to deliver the tavern’s accounting books to Brother Gu and ask for his help with the accounts!”
So, the clerk had come to seek Gu Ya’s help with accounting.
Gu Ya had once worked as an Accountant at Fuman Building?
This was indeed a surprise to Su Yunjin.
“Let’s go! My husband is inside; I’ll take you to see him now,” Su Yunjin said.
The clerk followed behind Su Yunjin. Initially, the clerk was worried that Su Yunjin would give him a hard time because of the incident that day, but he didn’t expect her to agree so easily to take him to Gu Ya.
“Sister-in-law, since you can let bygones be bygones, that’s truly wonderful!”
The clerk was somewhat excited.
“Sister-in-law, since you’ll lead this brother to see the third brother, I’ll go take care of other things,” Mrs. Chu said, having followed Su Yunjin until then.
Su Yunjin nodded, “Sister, you go ahead with your matters. I’ll take this clerk to see my husband.”
After finishing his meal, Gu Ya was lying on the bed feeling bored when his little wife came in with a man carrying a bundle on his back. This man was someone Gu Ya recognized.
He was a clerk from Fuman Building.
Gu Ya had seen him quite a few times.
“Yunjin, why has Brother Ding Wang come here?”
