Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Annoyance Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Annoyance Originally, when people in the village built houses, they were supposed to prepare lunch for the workers, but Su Yunjin found it troublesome and didn’t want to cook for twenty-something people every day.

Considering all the laborers were men from the village, and it was convenient for them to go home to eat, she suggested giving everyone a few more copper coins in their daily wages.

So, at noon, everyone would go back home to eat.

Everyone was fine with Su Yunjin’s suggestion and even happy to accept it. It was indeed convenient for them to go home for lunch; they could eat quickly and return in time.

Plus, they could earn a few extra silvers a day, which everyone was very pleased with.

The workers were there to make money, and now that they could earn more, they were eager for the opportunity.

And just like that, the issue of the workers’ lunch was resolved.

Recently, the weather had gotten hot, and in the scorching heat, although Su Yunjin didn’t need to prepare lunch, she still had to make arrangements for tea.

There was still a little bit of tea left at home.

However, with so many workers, the small amount of tea would definitely not be enough, and they were also short of cups and teapots. Su Yunjin planned to buy some more.

Having nowhere to go, Gu Changshun just idled about during the day, but at night, he would sneak back to sleep in the Gu Family. Mrs. Zhang, aware that her son Gu Changshun would return, would prepare his meal before he came back every night so Gu Changshun could eat.

Seeing her son having lost a considerable amount of weight, Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and took out an egg from the house to boil for Gu Changshun to nourish him.

Su Yunjin knew Gu Changshun had returned, and at first, she remained on guard against that scoundrel, but aside from that day, she didn’t notice anyone following her anymore. Also, with Gu Ya now able to stand, he usually accompanied her wherever she went.

So Su Yunjin let her guard down and didn’t take the matter of Gu Changshun to heart anymore.

That day, as Su Yunjin returned to the room from the courtyard, she unexpectedly heard some noise in her sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang’s room and also noticed that the room where Gu Changshun used to sleep seemed to have someone in it.

Instinctively, Su Yunjin thought it must be Gu Changshun who had come back again.

She decided to sneak over and take a look when suddenly a hand patted her shoulder from behind, causing her to jump in fright, “Who?”

“Yunjin, it’s me.” Gu Ya had just seen his little wife sneaking around and came over to give her a pat on the shoulder.

He hadn’t anticipated freaking his little wife out so much.

When Su Yunjin saw it was Gu Ya, she breathed a sigh of relief, then said, “Why would you frighten someone like that in the middle of the night?”

Gu Ya hadn’t intended to startle his little wife, and seeing her so scared, he felt regretful, “Yunjin, what were you doing just now?”

His little one’s footsteps were light, resembling a thief’s manner.

Doing what?

Of course, she wanted to see if Gu Changshun had returned!

“Husband, I think I just saw Gu Changshun come back.” During the conversation, Su Yunjin’s sharp eyes spotted what seemed to be a shadow darting out of her sister-in-law’s room.

Su Yunjin hastily said, “Husband, look, it’s Gu Changshun!”

Gu Ya also spotted someone.

Following the direction his little wife was pointing, Gu Ya clearly saw Gu Changshun running out from the elder brother’s and sister-in-law’s room, darting into the woods.

Su Yunjin wanted to give chase.

But Gu Ya pulled her back.

Su Yunjin turned to look at Gu Ya, “Husband, why are you holding me back? I’m going to chase Gu Changshun!” If she caught him, she’d let the village head tie him up and dunk him in the water in a pig cage.
