Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Missing the Wife Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Missing the Wife Su Yunjin had not expected that Gu Ya would be so persistent about consummating their marriage; he had talked about it all day by her ear.
At night, Su Yunjin was genuinely afraid Gu Ya would insist on consummating their marriage, but fortunately, he did nothing to her unexpectedly? It was also surprising that after talking about it all day, Gu Ya did not mention it at night.
Aside from her shock, Su Yunjin felt a secret joy in her heart, no matter what, as long as Gu Ya did not force her to consummate the marriage, it was good. Lying in Gu Ya’s arms, Su Yunjin had a good night’s sleep.
Gu Ya had to find people to repair the house today. In the morning, Gu Ya asked Su Yunjin if she wanted to go with him? After thinking for a moment, she realized she had other things to do and decided to stay at home instead.
So she did not go out with Gu Ya.
After Gu Ya left, Su Yunjin began to calculate inside the house, the approximated amount of money needed for the house repairs, the wages for the workers, and the cost of materials.
After roughly estimating the costs, Su Yunjin found that after the repairs, she and Gu Ya would have spent nearly half of their money. After the repairs, they would still need to buy furniture.
Tables, chairs, and beds, all these needed to be purchased new; the bed they currently slept in and all the furniture they used were old and worn.
With a new house restored, it was unreasonable to still use such old things, so after the house was repaired, she and Gu Ya would have to buy new furniture.
Buying new furniture would again cost money; she estimated that buying these things would take at least another half of their remaining silver. If that were the case, she would have hardly any silver left.
She must think of other ways to make money; they couldn’t just sit and wait until they ran out of sustenance.
Pickled Fish Sauce could make money, but relying on Pickled Fish Sauce was not a long-term plan, as it took at least half a month before it was ready to eat each time it was made.
Not to mention the time it took, and if patrons at Fuman Building grew tired of eating it after a while. Everything has its saturation point, and Pickled Fish Sauce was no exception.
If the Pickled Fish Sauce didn’t sell well at Fuman Building, they certainly wouldn’t want to order it anymore.
To earn more money, she must think of other methods.
Of course, ways to make money don’t just come to mind suddenly; the matter of repairing the house was important right now, and she could put aside thoughts of earning money for the time being.
Close to noon, Gu Ya finally returned.
Su Yunjin was delighted.
She walked up to him with a smile and asked, “Husband, how did it go? Have you found enough people to repair our house?”
“I’ve found enough! I’ve gathered everyone needed to repair the house.” After pouring himself a cup of water and drinking it down, Gu Ya looked at his young wife and said, “I’ve found enough people. Now we just need to buy the materials, and then we can start the work.”
Gu Ya had been out discussing the matter with people and, although others had poured water for him, he did not get to drink any because he was preoccupied with the discussions.
So he came back, his mouth terribly dry.
Even though he had just finished a cup.
He was still thirsty.
Gu Ya poured another cup of water to drink.
The water in the teapot on the table was from the previous night and had long turned cold, but Gu Ya did not mind and drank two cups in one breath.
Seeing sweat on Gu Ya’s face and considering the heat outside, Su Yunjin thought that Gu Ya must have gotten quite hot while looking for people to repair the house, so she handed him a clean handkerchief.
“Husband, did you manage to find everyone so quickly?”
