Chapter 382: Chapter 382: No Ability Chapter 382: Chapter 382: No Ability After a moment of surprise, Gu Ya continued changing his clothes.
It was easy to change into a robe, and once Gu Ya had put it on, he looked at his young wife and asked, “Yunjin, what do you think? Does this robe look suitable on me?”
After asking, Gu Ya found the situation somewhat amusing.
As a man, he had never fussed over his attire; as long as his clothes were clean and comfortable, that was enough. He wasn’t a woman who needed to worry about looking good or not, was he?
Why on earth did he ask his young wife for her opinion on his clothes?
Nevertheless, the question was already asked, and Gu Ya waited for his wife’s answer. Su Yunjin observed Gu Ya; he was handsome and carried an air of vigor and valor.
The black color accentuated his physique and brought out his charisma. Wearing the black robe made Gu Ya look even more slender and added a touch of refined sternness to his appearance.
As she appraised Gu Ya, Su Yunjin was surprised to find that the robe, which she had casually purchased for him, not only fit him well but also looked very good. It suited him better than his usual attire.
“Hmm, my husband, the robe fits you quite well,” Su Yunjin said.
Gu Ya also looked himself over and agreed that it was indeed a good fit.
Now that Gu Changshun had returned, Gu Ya felt more strongly that it would be a good idea for his young wife and himself to move out and build their own house. Gu Ya had found enough workers for the construction, and today, he wanted to check on the progress of the materials being prepared. He also needed to hurry them along so they would deliver the materials sooner, allowing construction to begin earlier.
“I’m going out now to ask about when the materials for our house construction can be delivered,” Gu Ya said as he prepared to leave.
Su Yunjin nodded, “My husband, then please go and inquire.”
And so, Gu Ya left, but before he did, feeling anxious about leaving his young wife alone, he returned and said, “Yunjin, why don’t you come out with me as well? If my nephew Gu Changshun comes back to cause you trouble and I am not here, what will you do?”
Su Yunjin did not wish to go out with Gu Ya, “My husband, don’t worry! It’s broad daylight now. Even if Gu Changshun had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to me. Moreover, even if you leave, aren’t my parents and younger siblings still at home? He probably doesn’t even dare to show his face in the village now. You don’t need to worry about me.”
His wife said this with such confidence that Gu Ya thought about it and, feeling reassured, agreed that there was no need to insist on her accompanying him.
In the past couple of days, as Gu Ya went around the village finding people to help them construct their house, his sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, soon heard about it. Since learning that Gu Ya’s legs had healed, Mrs. Zhang had been continuously upset, wearing a scowl every day.
If she could have her way, Mrs. Zhang now wished she could tear the couple apart with her own hands for the sake of her son, Gu Changshun.
And now she had learned that Gu Ya and his wife were planning to build a house.
This news stuck in Mrs. Zhang’s throat like a fishbone, infuriating her even more!
Why? Why should Su Yunjin and her husband be allowed to build a house?
How could they possibly have the money to build a house?
Mrs. Zhang was so angry she felt like spitting blood.
It was a mix of envy and jealousy.
Fuming, Mrs. Zhang went back inside her house and lashed out at her husband, Gu Baofu, “Look at you! What are you good for? Just loafing around at home doing nothing, with not a single useful skill. Marrying you brought me eight lifetimes of bad luck! Why did I ever marry such a useless man as you?”
Mrs. Zhang looked disdainfully at Gu Baofu.
The more she looked, the more she resented her husband for his incompetence.
