The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 259 - Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Dont Want to Let Go

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Don’t Want to Let Go Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Don’t Want to Let Go Su Yunjin actually had no real intention of asking her elder brother to pay back those two taels of silver.

If her elder brother could pay it back in the future, he would.

If he couldn’t, she wouldn’t demand the money from him.

Su Yunjin said this only to get her parents to agree to use her money to help her brother redeem his indenture contract.

With that, Su Yunjin’s parents no longer objected, “Yunjin, very well, we’ll do as you say! We’ll go now to redeem your brother’s contract. In the future, your mother and your brother will gather enough silver and pay you and your son-in-law back.”

“Yunjin, your mother is right; consider this money a loan from us to you and your son-in-law. We will repay you and your son-in-law in the future.”

Su Zhongshi also said.

Su Yunjin replied, “Alright, it’s settled then!”

Having persuaded her parents, Su Yunjin wasted no more time. She prepared to go with them to redeem her brother’s contract.

“Father, Mother, let’s go! We’ll head to the market now to redeem my brother’s contract.”

After exchanging glances, Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi nodded, “Mm! Let’s go! We’re heading out right now.”

And so, Su Yunjin went to the market with her parents.

Her elder brother, Su Muze, worked as a laborer at Anfu Rice Shop in the market. Once they arrived, they headed straight for the rice shop.

By the time Su Yunjin and her family arrived, her elder brother Su Muze was out delivering rice and hadn’t returned. Su Yunjin was there mainly to redeem her brother’s contract, and without waiting for him, she went directly to the shopkeeper to explain her intention.

“Shopkeeper Liang, please forgive the intrusion. I am Su Muze’s younger sister, Su Yunjin. Today, I’ve come to redeem my brother’s indenture contract.”

When Su Yunjin came to redeem the contract, the shopkeeper looked her up and down, then asked with an air of aged authority, “Miss Su, have you brought enough silver?”

“It’s enough! I’ve brought two full taels of silver.” Su Yunjin took out the money to show Shopkeeper Liang and tentatively asked, “I’ve brought the silver. Shopkeeper Liang, can you return my brother’s indenture contract now?”

Su Yunjin’s elder brother Su Muze was known for his hard work, diligence, and reticent nature, especially as a strong laborer who came cheap, Anfu Rice Shop needed long-term workers like her brother.

When Shopkeeper Liang initially asked Su Yunjin if she had brought enough silver, he was convinced that she wouldn’t have that much cash on hand. If she had money, her elder brother wouldn’t have rushed to sell himself into servitude to work for him in the first place.

To his surprise, Su Yunjin actually produced the silver.

The complexion of Shopkeeper Liang changed in an instant.

Su Yunjin sensed the shift in Shopkeeper Liang. Before she could speak again, he looked at her and said, “Miss Su, take your two taels of silver back. I will not give you your brother’s indenture contract.”

“Why not?”

Su Yunjin didn’t expect Shopkeeper Liang to refuse the contract and blurted out the question instinctively.

With a nonchalant sip of tea, Shopkeeper Liang replied leisurely, “Miss Su, your elder brother is currently working at my rice shop, and we just have enough people. If you redeem your brother’s contract, where am I to find someone to fill his place on such short notice?”

Su Yunjin now understood clearly.

It appeared that Shopkeeper Liang had no intention of releasing the person at all!
