The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 377 - Chapter 377 Chapter 377 Speaking Behind the Scenes

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Speaking Behind the Scenes Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Speaking Behind the Scenes Su Yunjin had also contemplated fixing the house at that location and, with a smile, told Gu Ya, “Husband, I also think it would be nice to build the house there.”

The couple both agreed on fixing the house at that location, thus the matter was decided.

The new house for Gu Ya and Su Yunjin was constructed at the entrance of the village.

Since Gu Ya intended to move out with his young wife to build their house and live separately, he naturally needed to inform his mother, Mrs. An, as well as Lord Gu Chengxiang.

“Yunjin, we need to inform my parents about us moving out and building our house. I’ll go tell them right now,” Gu Ya planned without delay to inform his parents immediately.

Mrs. An and Lord Gu Chengxiang had always been kind to her and Gu Ya, so Su Yunjin felt it was indeed proper to inform Mrs. An about their plans to move out and build their house.

“Husband, I’ll come with you.”

Seeing his young wife nod her head, Gu Ya led her to the house where his parents lived.

“Third son, third son’s wife, are you saying that you are planning to move out and build your own house?” Mrs. An asked with a smile after learning of Su Yunjin and Gu Ya’s intentions.

Gu Ya nodded, “Mother, indeed, Yunjin and I have decided to build our own house. We have discussed it, and we have chosen to construct a house on that acre of land at the entrance of the village.”

Mrs. An was naturally happy to hear that her son and daughter-in-law wanted to build a house, “Very good, very good. Third son, it’s a fine thing that you and Yunjin wish to move out and build a house, but constructing a house could be quite expensive. Do you and Yunjin have enough silver to cover it? If not, perhaps you should postpone the house-building.”

She knew her son Gu Ya earned some silver by keeping accounts at the Fuman Building, but as far as Mrs. An was concerned, accounting work wouldn’t have brought in much money–seven or eight taels at most. With such a meager sum, and with Gu Ya needing to buy medicine every month, plus the myriad expenses they’d face living on their own, she worried their finances wouldn’t stretch far enough.

Having managed a household for decades, Mrs. An was well aware of the high cost of everyday necessities and was concerned that her son and daughter-in-law might rush into building their house and end up struggling if their silver was insufficient.

Mrs. Zhang, on the other hand, didn’t see the house as an urgent matter.

As long as Su Yunjin and Gu Ya had a place to live in the Gu Family home and they didn’t have enough silver on hand, Mrs. An would not approve of the couple moving out on their own to build a house.

Gu Ya was aware of his mother’s good intentions.

He said with a smile, “Mother, rest assured! Yunjin and I do have enough silver to build the house. You don’t have to worry about us.”

Su Yunjin also spoke up, “Husband is right, we do have enough money to build the house. Mother, you can relax.”

Hearing Gu Ya and Su Yunjin say this, Mrs. An did not pursue the matter further.

“Third son, since you both have enough silver, then I approve of you and your wife building the house. If you wish to build, then build it!”

Although Lord Gu Chengxiang did not say much, it was evident he had no objections. It was normal for a son and his wife to live independently after dividing the family.

In the village, many households followed the same practice.

After dividing the family, everyone would temporarily stay under one roof. If someone accrued enough silver and wished to build their own house to live in independently, they could do so.

In the village, such practice was not only accepted but endorsed by the community, and no one would speak ill of it behind their backs.

With neither Lord Gu Chengxiang nor Mrs. An objecting,

Su Yunjin was pleased as well.
