Chapter 684: Chapter 684 The House Burned Down Chapter 684: Chapter 684 The House Burned Down Su Yunjin and her husband Gu Ya stayed at the wine shop for one night, and Su Yunjin found it convenient, whether it was for Gu Ya to go to the wine shop or for her to brew wine.
It saved quite a bit of trouble.
At the beginning of next month, the wine shop was going to open, and they had to brew more wine, so Su Yunjin decided to stay at the wine shop in town. As a man, Gu Ya was not picky about where he stayed. Wherever his little wife lived, Gu Ya would live, and Su Yunjin was busy brewing wine in the winery every day.
Besides keeping the accounts at Hongyun Building, Gu Ya spent the rest of his time helping his wife with the brewing. Sometimes Su Yunjin felt as if Gu Ya was busy with something else behind her back. However, with all her thoughts on brewing and opening the shop, Su Yunjin did not pay much attention to what Gu Ya was doing.
Indeed, Gu Ya was busy with other matters. He still had not found the person who smashed his wife’s fruit wine last time. To find out who those people were, Gu Ya had even spent money to enlist help in the investigation. He had also reported the incident to the Magistrate at the Governor’s Office. Since at that time, the people who smashed their fruit wine were not seen by his wife, and Gu Ya had no idea what they looked like, he could not provide any more clues.
The investigation at the Governor’s Office had to proceed slowly, by asking the shops nearby the market at that time and the people who passed by, and then going on to inquire based on the descriptions given by those people.
Gu Ya was continuously looking for the people who smashed the fruit wine, but Su Yunjin had already put that incident behind her. She was now completely occupied with preparing to open the shop.
For Su Yunjin, nothing was more important than opening the shop. Since she was no longer concerned about the people who smashed the fruit wine, Gu Ya did not bring it up in front of her either. He intended to carry on the investigation, and as for his wife, Gu Ya never meant to bother her with this matter.
It was better for her to forget about it.
In town, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya were busy with their respective matters, while two incidents occurred back in Gu Family Village. One was about Gu Hengniang angering her father, Gu Chengxiang, nearly to the point of fainting, and the other was about Wan Ruyan almost setting fire to the Gu family’s house.
The incidents were causing an uproar in the village, with both being widely discussed. The first issue faded away over time, with Gu Hengniang nearly causing Gu Chengxiang to faint. After being driven out, Gu Hengniang did not return to the Gu family. In the case of the other incident, with Wan Ruyan setting Zhang’s house on fire, it caused quite a commotion in the village.
It even alarmed the village head.
Scared by what she had done, Wan Ruyan ran away and hid in the Wan Family house, not daring to return. With the house burned, Mrs. Zhang was so furious that her heart felt like it was bleeding.
During the division of property, they had only received a few good houses, and now two of them had been burned by Wan Ruyan. How much silver would it cost to repair them?
Mrs. Zhang’s heart was aching! Incessantly, she urged her son, Gu Changshun, to divorce Wan Ruyan. Ever since Wan Ruyan had married into their family, Mrs. Zhang had been plagued with heartache caused by her daily.
Wan Ruyan disobeyed her, did not respect her as a mother-in-law, and even after getting married, she wouldn’t let Mrs. Zhang’s son, Gu Changshun, lay a finger on her!
Marrying Wan Ruyan was like inviting a tormenting ancestor into their home, a debt-collecting ghost. If she stayed, who knew if one day she might burn down the entire Gu family!
“Son, go, quickly, go to the Wan Family for your mother, and write a letter of divorce, and divorce that wretched Wan Ruyan for me!” Mrs. Zhang banged on the table.
Even uttering Wan Ruyan’s name showed a look of utter frustration and anger.
