Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Skills Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Skills “Husband, he’s here to deliver the account books to you,”
As Ding Wang approached Gu Ya, Su Yunjin finished speaking and then continued to explain his purpose, “Gu Brother, here’s the thing, our restaurant’s Accountant had to go back for a while and will be delayed for some time, so this month’s account books need to be worked on by you. Considering your legs are injured, I will come every few days to pick up the completed account books and then bring the new ones for you to work on.”
Since his leg injury, Gu Ya had been lying in his room every day, feeling bored to death like a useless person. Now that Ding Wang had brought the account books, at least he could find something to do.
It meant he wouldn’t just be lying around unable to do anything all day.
Most importantly, he could earn some silver to help out at home.
“Brother Ding, leave the account books here! Go tell Manager Liu that I will get the accounts done well for Fuman Building and to not worry,” Gu Ya said.
Manager Liu certainly trusted Gu Ya with the accounts! Otherwise, despite Gu Ya’s inconvenient legs, he wouldn’t have bothered to instruct Fuman Building’s workers to deliver the account books to Gu Ya’s home.
Ding Wang was carrying a bundle on his back, which was filled with the account books brought from Fuman Building. Setting down the bundle and opening it, Ding Wang then took out the account books and handed them to Gu Ya, “Big Brother Gu, here are the account books! I will take these away in three days.”
Gu Ya received the account books and briefly flipped through them.
He nodded in agreement.
“No problem, Brother Ding. I will definitely get these account books done for Fuman Building within three days. You can come pick them up then.” Standing beside him, Su Yunjin looked over the two thick stacks of account books in Gu Ya’s hands, and seeing that Gu Ya promised to get them done for Fuman Building within three days, she was somewhat stunned.
Could he really finish all these account books in such a short time?
Su Yunjin’s face was full of disbelief, but the expression on worker Ding Wang’s face remained unchanged. He then mentioned the issue of wages to Gu Ya, “Gu Brother, Manager Liu said that each time you help with the accounts, you’ll be paid one tael of silver. I will bring the silver at the end of the month.”
The stunned Su Yunjin was shocked again. One tael of silver? Gu Ya would get one tael for doing the accounts just once? Impressive, wasn’t it? How had she never noticed that Gu Ya had such a skill before?
The little wife looked at Gu Ya with a surprised expression, and Gu Ya also glanced at his little wife. Although he said nothing, his eyes seemed to ask Su Yunjin, “How about that? I do have some skills, don’t I?”
She watched the man’s pride swell.
Su Yunjin said nothing.
After setting down the account books and completing the tasks assigned by Manager Liu, the worker prepared to leave, “Big Brother Gu, Sister-in-law, I’ve delivered both the account books and the message, so I’ll go back and report to Manager Liu now.”
“Brother Ding, take care!” Su Yunjin politely saw Ding Wang out, but Ding Wang told her not to bother, “Sister-in-law, please don’t trouble yourself to see me out. I can leave on my own.”
And with that, Ding Wang left.
Su Yunjin went back into the house and casually asked Gu Ya, “Husband, have you worked as an Accountant at Fuman Building before?”
“No!” Even though Gu Ya had kept accounts at Fuman Building before, he had never been an official Accountant there; it had always been a temporary job when Fuman Building’s Accountant was unavailable.
Su Yunjin didn’t know this and asked, confused by his answer, “If you haven’t been an Accountant there, why did Brother Ding say you had?”
“I’ve just done it temporarily for a few days, not as a formal Accountant for Fuman Building,” Gu Ya clarified.
Understanding her confusion, Su Yunjin saw the two thick stacks of account books and, still doubtful, asked him,
“Can you really finish all those account books in three days?”
Gu Ya looked up at his little wife, “What? You don’t believe me?”
