Chapter 473: 473 Chapter 473: 473 Having grasped the serious implications, Mrs. Zhang even praised her own son, Gu Changshun, for his intelligence.
Today, after being persuaded by her son, Gu Changshun, Mrs. Zhang changed her previous attitude and agreed to the matter with a smile.
Once Mrs. Zhang agreed, the Wan Family naturally went back home.
With this, the Wan Family and Mrs. Zhang’s family finally came to rest.
After hearing that Mrs. Zhang had agreed to the marriage with the Wan Family, Su Yunjin thought to herself that it would be quite interesting if these two families were to become in-laws!
Moreover, Gu Changshun and Wan Ruyan would truly make a perfect match if they were to marry.
Gu Ya went to the marketplace to deliver stinky tofu, and after delivering it, he came straight back without much delay. Upon his return, Gu Ya gave all the silver he had made to his young wife.
“Yunjin, here, this is the silver from today’s sale of stinky tofu.” Not a single silver coin less, Gu Ya handed all the silver over to his young wife.
Su Yunjin took the silver and, with a smile, relayed to Gu Ya what Mrs. Chu had told her that day, “Husband, I have something to tell you, something you’d never guess!”
The young wife had a mysterious look on her face.
Gu Ya actually thought his young wife was about to tell him something important, so he looked at her seriously and waited for her to speak, never expecting the matter to be related to Mrs. Zhang’s family.
“Husband, today the fifth brother’s wife told me that the elder sister-in-law has actually agreed to the marriage with the Wan Family. Are you surprised?”
Mrs. Zhang had always opposed her son, Gu Changshun, marrying Wan Ruyan, so now that she had suddenly agreed, Gu Ya was just as astonished as his young wife had been when she first heard the news.
The young wife continued, “Husband, you are surprised, aren’t you? I also find it strange!” Su Yunjin pondered the reason for Mrs. Zhang agreeing to the Wan Family’s marriage proposal, but she couldn’t figure out that it was because of Gu Changshun.
Gu Ya wasn’t concerned with the affairs of Mrs. Zhang’s family; after his initial astonishment, he lost interest in asking further and instead began discussing the matter of their house with his young wife.
“Yunjin, our house should be finished in another two days, and we should get ready to pay the workers. Once the house is completed, we will give them all their wages.”
The matter of the wages was something Su Yunjin had long been preparing for, and she had calculated everyone’s wages long ago, “Husband, don’t worry about the wages; I’ve already prepared everything well in advance.”
Getting up, Su Yunjin went to fetch a wooden chest, opened it, and with a smile, showed it to Gu Ya.
“Husband, look, all the copper coins in this chest have been prepared for the workers!” The wages for the workers were all in copper coins, about seventy to eighty copper coins per person per month.
These copper coins had been counted by Su Yunjin, just enough to pay the workers who had helped them with the construction of the house.
Gu Ya looked at the chest of copper coins opened by his young wife, a hint of puzzlement crossing his face, “Yunjin, when did you prepare these wages for the workers? How come I didn’t know about it?”
Su Yunjin had begun preparing half a month ago. Some of the copper coins were gathered by her, while she exchanged the rest for silver with others. When Gu Ya asked, Su Yunjin told him with a smile.
“Husband, I started preparing these coins half a month ago, but it’s only in the past few days that I got everything ready.”
While Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, husband and wife, were discussing the preparation of wages for the workers, Mrs. Zhang’s frustrations of over a month also dissipated significantly after agreeing to the union with the Wan Family.
