Chapter 300: Chapter 300 Wages Chapter 300: Chapter 300 Wages Opening the ledger and flipping through a few pages, Gu Ya dipped his brush in ink and began to write. Su Yunjin watched the characters Gu Ya wrote and unexpectedly discovered that his handwriting was quite beautiful.

Clean and crisp, vigorous and powerful, a line of numbers written in a way that was pleasing to the eye. Su Yunjin hadn’t paid attention before, but now as she stared at Gu Ya’s hand, she belatedly realized that Gu Ya’s hands were also exceptionally beautiful, clean and slender, with well-defined knuckles and not a speck of dirt under his neatly trimmed and clean nails.

Perhaps it was due to Gu Ya’s years of hunting, Su Yunjin could clearly see calluses on his hands, especially those between the thumb and index finger, which were particularly noticeable.

Upon hearing the sound of pages turning, Su Yunjin, surprised, discovered that Gu Ya had finished calculating the accounts in just a blink of an eye, “Husband, have you already finished calculating these pages?”

Unable to help herself, Su Yunjin asked while looking at Gu Ya.

She found it somewhat unbelievable that Gu Ya had finished calculating those pages so quickly!

Without looking up, Gu Ya continued to write, yet casually responded to his young wife’s question.

“Indeed! I have already finished calculating these pages of the ledger!”

“…” Su Yunjin fell silent. She had clearly seen that there were no small number of digits on each page, crowded densely together. If it were her, it would take at least ten minutes to calculate a single page, wouldn’t it?

Yet Gu Ya had finished calculating a page of the ledger in the blink of an eye!

Quite taken aback!

In the past, Su Yunjin had heard that some people were exceptionally good at mental arithmetic, but she had never actually seen anyone like that. However, having just witnessed Gu Ya’s skill at crunching numbers, she felt that even if placed in the modern world, not many could match Gu Ya’s ability.

Gu Ya always immersed himself in accounting with undivided attention, his hands moving swiftly, so Su Yunjin, sitting beside him and seeing how serious he was, didn’t talk to disturb him.

She just sat quietly on the side, watching.

Halfway through, Gu Ya asked for water twice, so Su Yunjin went to pour him some hot tea. Gu Ya gulped down the tea in the cup in one go and then continued with his accounting.

Su Yunjin placed the cup that Gu Ya had used back on the table, poured herself some hot tea, and sat beside the table, observing Gu Ya who was focused on his accounting.

Seeing the speed with which Gu Ya wrote and the frequency with which he turned the pages, Su Yunjin immediately understood why the Fuman Building’s manager Liu had gone through the trouble of having the accounts delivered to Gu Ya.

With such a phenomenal ability in mental arithmetic, along with his fine handwriting, if she were Manager Liu, and the restaurant needed someone to do the accounts temporarily, Su Yunjin would also seek someone like Gu Ya.

After Su Yunjin and Gu Ya had divided the property, she didn’t get many rooms: only a kitchen, a bedroom, and two other dilapidated rooms for storing miscellaneous items and raising a few chickens and ducks. There weren’t many rooms to repair. Soon after lunch, Gu Jianghai, her fifth brother, and the two workers he had brought helped Su Yunjin fix up the place tightly, including the leaky spots on the roof.

Now, even if it rained again, the house shouldn’t leak anymore.

Gu Jianghai had told Su Yunjin early in the morning that the wages for Niu Er and Feng Wu were fifteen copper coins a day. However, since Feng Wu and Niu Er finished their work early in the afternoon, not a full day’s labor, Su Yunjin hadn’t given them fifteen copper coins each but intended to pay each of them twelve.

“Big Brother Niu, Big Brother Feng, thank you for your help with fixing the house today! Here are twelve copper coins, your wages for the work. Please accept them.”
