Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Worried yet Fond Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Worried yet Fond Su Yunjin suggested sending her younger brother, Su Xiaobao, to school on the day Gu Ya went to the market to work as an accountant. Her mother, Mrs. Shen, and Su Ningxiu came to tell Su Yunjin that Su Xiaobao had already been sent to school.
“Little sister, Xiaobao was sent to school by father today.” Su Ningxiu had also gone with him to send Su Xiaobao to school, and it was Su Yunjin who had proposed this.
After sending off Su Xiaobao, Su Zhongshi went to the village to earn money as a day laborer, and the second sister, Su Ningxiu, came with Mrs. Shen to Su Yunjin’s home to discuss Su Xiaobao’s schooling.
Learning that Su Xiaobao had been sent to school, Su Yunjin was very pleased; at the age of ten, it was always good for him to read and write.
It would also enable him to gain knowledge and learn characters. Seeing that only Su Yunjin was in the house and that Gu Ya was not there, Mrs. Shen asked in confusion, “Yun daughter, where is your son-in-law? How come I do not see him?”
“Mother, my husband has gone to the town,” Su Yunjin replied.
Mrs. Shen was somewhat surprised, “Yun daughter, what did your son-in-law go to the town for?” Su Ningxiu was also perplexed, and Su Yunjin explained, “Mother, second sister, the husband found a job as an accountant in town last month, and he just started his first day at the tavern this morning.” Working as an accountant in town was considered a good position.
Ordinary people wouldn’t be hired as an accountant by taverns, like Su Yunjin’s elder brother, Su Muze, who hadn’t even studied for two years and wasn’t good at math either.
If Su Muze went to the market, the tavern’s accountant position would definitely not accept him. Being an accountant was a respectable job with early payment. Anyone’s husband from the village who worked as an accountant at the market would carry extra prestige. Hearing that Gu Ya went to work as an accountant in town, both Su Ningxiu and Mrs. Shen were very happy for Su Yunjin.
“Yun daughter, is it true? Has your son-in-law really gone to work as an accountant at the market?” When Mrs. Shen first saw Gu Ya, she felt he would be a promising man.
Indeed, he had not disappointed her.
In no time at all, Gu Ya found a position as an accountant in town. Now that her son-in-law had a proper job, her daughter wouldn’t have to suffer hardships or grievances following her husband. Su Ningxiu was also happy for Su Yunjin, “Younger sister, congratulations, your husband is now working as an accountant, and you will surely lead a good life with him in the future.”
Su Ningxiu was happy for Su Yunjin, who, thinking of the man who had been delivering gifts to her second sister Ningxiu, took the opportunity to pull Su Ningxiu aside and ask her softly, “Second sister, what happened? Did that man come to our house to deliver anything again?” Since the last time, that man hadn’t delivered anything to Su Ningxiu’s home again.
“Little sister, that man hasn’t been by since,” Su Ningxiu shook her head.
Su Yunjin stared at Su Ningxiu, finding it odd that the man who had been delivering gifts to her second sister Su Ningxiu for so long had suddenly ceased to do so.
It wasn’t just Su Yunjin who found it strange; Su Ningxiu also thought it was odd. With regards to her feelings for that man, Su Ningxiu both looked forward to his gifts and feared that he would continue delivering them.
But the man had not returned.
Lately, Su Ningxiu felt a bit uneasy, worrying whether something had happened to the man. Later, she found her own thoughts laughable and stopped dwelling on them.
After the initial strange feelings passed, Su Yunjin thought it was good that the man hadn’t come back. After all, her second sister was not lacking in suitors, and Su Yunjin trusted that their parents would find a good match for Ningxiu.
Isn’t Gu Ya now working as an accountant at the tavern?
Su Yunjin decided to wait for Gu Ya to come back in the evening and then inquire whether there were any good men at the tavern; if there were, it would be possible to introduce one to her second sister.
