The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 258 - Chapter 258 Chapter 258 Persuasion

Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Persuasion Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Persuasion Su Yunjin returned this time mainly to help her elder brother, Su Muze, redeem his Indenture Contract.

Gu Ya temporarily couldn’t stand on his legs.

And needed someone to take care of him.

If she could help her elder brother redeem the Indenture Contract sooner,

she would also be able to return sooner to take care of Gu Ya, her husband.

No matter what, it was for her brother that Gu Ya had fallen from the mountain, and before his legs recovered, she would take good care of him.

She would look after him.

Until Gu Ya’s legs were healed.

“Mother, that’s right, I have money now, we can go and redeem my elder brother’s Indenture Contract,” Su Yunjin took out the two taels of Silver she had prepared early in the morning from her bosom.

Seeing the silver in Su Yunjin’s hand, Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi were both astonished, “Yun’er, so much money, where did you get it from?”

The Gu Family’s situation wasn’t much better than that of the Su Family.

Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi both knew the Gu Family was poor and couldn’t possibly have two taels of Silver.

Could it be for her elder brother, Su Muze’s redemption,

that their daughter and son-in-law had gone back to borrow two taels of Silver?

“Mother, these two taels of Silver are from my husband. Don’t worry! This money is mine, not borrowed,” Su Yunjin guessed her parents’ thoughts from the expressions on their faces.

Sure enough, “Yun’er, don’t fool your mother. You and your husband don’t have much on hand. If this money isn’t borrowed, how could you have so much Silver?” Mrs. Shen asked Su Yunjin.

This Silver was from the money Gu Ya earned by hunting wolves on the mountain.

For this money, Gu Ya had even fallen from the mountain.

Fearing her parents and brother would feel guilty if they knew the origin of this money, Su Yunjin didn’t tell the truth but said, “Father, Mother, my husband has been hunting on the mountain for years, so naturally he has saved a bit of money!”

“So, this money was given to you by your husband?” Mrs. Shen asked.

Su Yunjin nodded, “Yes! To help redeem my elder brother’s Indenture Contract, my husband specially gave it to me.”

“No, no, no! Yun’er, since this money was given to you by your husband, then your mother really can’t take it! Your husband’s legs are also inconvenient right now, you should keep this money for both of you to use. Now that you and your husband are married, you need money for all sorts of things. How can you do without some money in hand?”

Mrs. Shen refuses to take Su Yunjin’s money.

And so does Su Zhongshi, “Yun’er, listen to your mother, take this money back! Without some money in hand, how will you and your husband live your days? Besides, this is not a small sum, how could your father and mother take it?”

Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi were both unwilling to accept the Silver, “Your elder brother’s Indenture Contract, Mother and Father will think of a way, Yun’er, you should take this money back.”

Gu Ya had given her more than ten taels of Silver!

Apart from the two taels for redeeming her brother’s freedom, Su Yunjin still had ten taels left, “Father, Mother, I still have Silver left! You don’t need to worry about my husband and I not having money to use.”

“But still–!” Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi were still hesitant, Su Yunjin continued, “Father, my elder brother is of marriageable age now, he sold himself to the rice shop because of me, so it’s right for me to help him redeem the Indenture Contract. My elder brother sold himself to work as a long-term worker in the rice shop, earning thirty copper coins a month. By the time he clears his debt, that would be three to five years from now! Mother, do you really want to see my elder brother delay so many years in the rice shop?”

At the age-appropriate time to marry without being married, especially for someone like Su Yunjin’s elder brother who had worked as a long-term worker after selling himself to a shop, it would be even harder to find a wife when he got out.

Now Su Yunjin’s parents fell silent.

Su Yunjin continued, “Father, Mother, elder brother signed the Indenture Contract to work as a long-term worker in the rice shop, earning only half of what he would make if he hadn’t signed the Indenture Contract. If we help elder brother redeem the Indenture Contract, whatever work he does would pay more than what he gets from the rice shop. How about this! Consider this money as a loan from my husband and me to elder brother, and when elder brother earns money later on, he can pay us back the two taels of Silver, what do you think?”
