Chapter 497: Chapter 497: A New Beginning Chapter 497: Chapter 497: A New Beginning Gu Baofu and his wife had been waiting for Su Yunjin and her family to finish moving their belongings. Today, Su Yunjin and her husband were moving, and Mrs. An came over.
“Third son, third daughter-in-law, how is it going? Have you finished packing everything?” Mrs. An asked.
“Mother, we have almost finished packing everything. We only have some clothes and personal items left in the house. We just have to wait for Uncle Hu to come over again to help us move the remaining items.”
Mrs. An glanced into Gu Yan’s room and saw some old tables and chairs, then asked, “Third son, are you and the third daughter-in-law not taking those tables and chairs with you?”
“Mother, my husband and I have already bought tables and chairs for the new house. The ones left in this house, we plan to give them all to you and father.”
Su Yunjin arranged to give the house to Mrs. Chu, and the old furniture in the house, Su Yunjin planned to give to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mrs. An. Upon hearing that the tables and chairs in the house were for his parents, Gu Jianghai offered to help move them, “Sister-in-law, I’m free right now, and since these items are for mom and dad, I’ll help them move the stuff right now.”
Gu Jianghai went to move the tables and chairs. Su Yunjin then said to the remaining Mrs. Chu and Mrs. An, “Sister-in-law, mother, my husband and I are moving to the new house today. Why don’t you all come to our home for dinner tonight? It’s our first day in the new house, and it would be nice for us to have a lively meal together!”
In the village, moving to a new house usually involved having a family dinner to celebrate. Both Mrs. Chu and Mrs. An agreed with a smile, “We will definitely come tonight.”
Uncle Hu hauled a cartload of items to the new house. Soon after, he hurried back with the ox cart to help Su Yunjin move a second load. Once they finished loading the cart with the items that Su Yunjin and her family wanted to take with them, she did not intend to keep anything that was left.
Anything that Mrs. Chu and the rest found to their liking, they could take. Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu had been waiting all day for Su Yunjin to finish moving.
Seeing that there were quite a few items left in Su Yunjin’s house, they thought she hadn’t finished moving and didn’t realize those items were things Su Yunjin no longer wanted.
Before leaving, Su Yunjin handed the keys to the house over to Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu waited all day and finally sensed something was amiss when they saw Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai lock up. Only then did they belatedly realize what had happened, but by the time they figured it out, Su Yunjin and her family had already left on the ox cart.
These blockheads had waited all day for nothing, not getting the house and completely wasting their time. Mrs. Zhang felt exceptionally frustrated and went to Mrs. Chu’s house to inquire about the situation with the house.
Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai were not pushovers, and when Mrs. Zhang asked, they confirmed that the house had already been given to them. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was so angry she almost spurted blood.
That little wench Su Yunjin had not given the house to her who was the eldest brother’s wife but had instead given it away to Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai, the couple.
Gu Tiezhu was also fuming.
He had hoped that by waiting in the house all day, he could benefit from getting two rooms, but in the end, he gained nothing and had simply wasted his efforts.
Meanwhile, at the Gu Family, Mrs. Zhang and the other troublemakers were quite displeased, while at the entrance of the village, in their new home, Su Yunjin and Gu Yan were busy arranging the items they had just brought over from the old house that day.
Additionally, now that she and Gu Yan had moved over, they no longer needed to hire someone to keep an eye on their new home, namely the wages for Liang Bo and Zhu Dali.
Su Yunjin planned to settle their payment today.
