Chapter 655: Chapter 655 Generous Spending Chapter 655: Chapter 655 Generous Spending When Fan Wenxuan wrongly accused his wife and that Master Chu last time, Gu Ya, even with a poor memory, would not forget that man. Puzzled as to why his wife suddenly mentioned this, Gu Ya asked, “Yunjin, what’s wrong? Why are you asking about Master Chu?” Su Yunjin came over and sat down next to Gu Ya.
“Husband, here’s what happened. I went to the market to check on the shop today and, unexpectedly, I ran into Master Chu. And, he had heard about the fruit wine I make, so he wants to do business with me.”
As Su Yunjin spoke, Gu Ya had already roughly looked over the contents of the piece of paper, “Is this the document that you and that Master Chu signed?”
Written on the paper was a down payment of one hundred silver taels. Normally, others would give a down payment of about ten or twenty taels, but Master Chu offered one hundred silver taels right off the bat.
Such generosity suggested that Master Chu must be involved in no small business. Otherwise, he wouldn’t offer such a high down payment, Gu Ya pondered.
Su Yunjin, however, took out the one hundred silver taels and showed them to Gu Ya, “Husband, I now feel this money is a hot potato.”
“A hot potato?” Since when did his money-loving wife think there was such a thing as too much money? Gu Ya watched his wife with amusement.
Teasing her, he asked, “Yunjin, what? Have you changed so quickly? You don’t like money anymore?”
“Of course not!” Money was what Su Yunjin loved most. How could she not like it? It was just that holding the money made her feel a bit uneasy.
Only when she had safely delivered the goods to Master Chu would Su Yunjin feel at ease about the money. “Husband, what if I run into problems when delivering the goods to Master Chu? What if I have to repay him two hundred silver taels?”
It turns out that this was the little thing she was worried about.
Gu Ya and Master Chu’s way of thinking were similar.
“Yunjin, what’s there to worry about? You just have to make the fruit wine and deliver it to Master Chu, how could there be a problem?” The little money-lover was not just consumed by greed; she also thought too much.
Su Yunjin felt that maybe she was indeed overthinking. Regardless, the most important thing was that she stood to make a lot of money this time. She looked again at the silver note in her hand; perhaps because of Gu Ya’s words, her worries faded. Now, she had the hundred taels, and after delivering the wine, she would earn another fifty or sixty taels of silver.
The thought of the substantial sum of money she would make this time excited her.
When Su Yunjin first started brewing fruit wine to earn money, she never imagined it would be so profitable. The fruit wine proved to be much more lucrative than she initially thought, and at this rate,
it wouldn’t be long before she and Gu Ya, as a couple, could buy a house in town, set up their own shop, and do whatever they wanted, buy whatever they desired.
Thinking about it made Su Yunjin feel blissful.
She carefully put away the silver note and, smiling, looked at Gu Ya before making a suggestion.
“Husband, now that our fruit wine is making so much money, why don’t you quit your job as an accountant and join me in business instead?”
“Yunjin, I still need to work in the financial department, but I will also help you with your business,” Gu Ya replied. Even if he wanted to quit his job at the accountant’s, he would have to wait a month. Who ever quits just a few days into their job? Besides, if his wife’s shop was indeed purchased across from where he worked in the tavern, it would be convenient for Gu Ya to help out his wife.
