Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Disgusting Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Disgusting The workers, having heard that they could collect their wages if they lined up, quickly did so to receive the two months’ pay they had earned from helping Su Yunjin and others repair their houses.
Soon, the workers had individually sorted themselves into lines.
As Gu Ya handed out the wages, Su Yunjin sat on a nearby bench, watching. Gu Ya was careful and meticulous in his dealings, disbursing the workers’ wages both swiftly and accurately.
The wages of the more than twenty workers were quickly distributed by Gu Ya, finally leaving Gu Jianghai’s share, which Gu Ya then also handed over to him.
Gu Jianghai felt somewhat embarrassed as he accepted his wages–after all, Gu Ya was his third brother, and it seemed like taking money for helping his own flesh and blood was estranging.
Su Yunjin said with a smile, “Fifth brother, this silver is rightfully yours; there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You did work for us, and paying you wages couldn’t be more normal. If it had been anyone else, had someone else done the work for us, we would’ve paid them just the same right now.”
Even brothers settle accounts clearly.
Since Gu Jianghai had helped out, it was only right that he was paid wages.
With Su Yunjin putting it that way, Gu Jianghai no longer felt the need to be polite and happily accepted the silver, thinking about handing it over to his wife, Mrs. Chu, once he got back.
He also planned to go to the market to buy some candy for his daughter Aluo.
Gu Jianghai had promised his little girl that once he earned some money, he would buy her candy. Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu cherished their only daughter dearly.
Gu Jianghai generally kept the promises he made to his daughter. The workers, pleased with their wages, bid farewell and gradually left.
Gu Jianghai, intending on buying candy for his daughter at the market, departed after the other workers. Once the wages were distributed, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya unanimously decided to ask Liang Bo and Zhu Dali to continue watching over the house for a few more days since all the household goods had not yet been purchased.
They needed several days to buy everything necessary for the house. Considering Mrs. Zhang had previously tried to burn down the house, they felt that they needed someone on the property to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Especially now that Gu Changshun was back, and the way he had glared at her today seemed voracious enough to devour someone–she couldn’t put it past him to seek revenge by targeting their house.
Therefore, asking Liang Bo and Zhu Dali to keep an eye on the house for a few more days was the most cautious plan. After hearing what his little wife had to say, Gu Ya also felt it would be wise to request Liang Bo and Zhu Dali’s continued assistance for a couple more days.
When Su Yunjin found Liang Bo and Zhu Dali, she explained her request to them, hoping they could watch over the house for a few additional days.
They would be paid as usual, the same daily wages as before. With money to be earned, both Liang Bo and Zhu Dali were willing to keep looking after Su Yunjin’s house for her.
As for the Wan family, Wan Changshun was at home when they visited and they immediately saw him with a face swollen from being dunked in the pig cage and released back.
Several areas of his face had turned to pus.
It was a frightening sight.
The Wan family had never been satisfied with Gu Changshun. If Wan Ruyan’s reputation hadn’t been tarnished, they wouldn’t have rushed to marry her off to Gu Changshun.
Seeing Gu Changshun’s pus-filled face today, they all felt disgusted, involuntarily retching, but Gu Changshun still approached them with a smile, calling out to Wan Fumin.
His mouth full of yellow teeth exposed.
That “father-in-law” from Gu Changshun almost made the whole Wan family nauseous.
