The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 474 - Chapter 474 Chapter 474 The Deal Fell Through

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: The Deal Fell Through Chapter 474: Chapter 474: The Deal Fell Through Mrs. Zhang’s spirits lifted, and her illness gradually improved.

The Wan Family acted swiftly. Just one day later, they sent a matchmaker to the Gu Family to discuss the marriage between Wan Ruyan and Gu Changshun.

Mrs. Zhang had no objections to other matters, but she took issue with the bride price the Wan Family proposed, which was twenty taels of silver.

Mrs. Zhang immediately cried out in protest.

“Twenty taels? That’s too much! Are you Wan Family people trying to rob us?” Hmph, let alone twenty taels, Mrs. Zhang wouldn’t even part with two, to give the Wan Family an advantage.

The negotiations over the bride price fell through, and Mrs. Zhang parted ways with the Wan Family once again, without any warmth between them.

Su Yunjin did some calculations; after the house renovations were complete, there would still be many expenses for her and Gu Ya, including payment for the workers and for materials like lumber and gravel.

Moreover, after settling all the necessary payments, she and Gu Ya would have to spend money at the market to purchase furniture for the house. During the renovations, Su Yunjin had already decided that once the house was finished, she wouldn’t keep any of the old furniture except for kitchenware; she planned to buy everything else new.

She had no reason to keep on using the old, rickety things once she and Gu Ya moved into their new home, especially since she had enough silver at hand to buy new items.

In Su Yunjin’s view, the purpose of earning silver was to spend it. If it ever wasn’t enough, she would find ways to earn more. If she earned silver and didn’t spend it, what was the point of making money?

This was Su Yunjin’s way of thinking, and Gu Ya would typically go along with her in most matters, especially something trivial like this. For him, if his little wife wanted to buy and use something, then she should be allowed to do as she pleased. After all, his little wife had endured hardships by marrying him.

Now that the house was complete, and his little wife wanted better things and a nicer home, it seemed only right. Besides, even if she hadn’t suggested buying new items, Gu Ya would have made plans to buy new ones for his little wife’s comfort.

With so many things to buy, they needed to earn more money, didn’t they?

Though the stinky tofu didn’t sell for as much as the Pickled Fish Sauce, one jar could still fetch one tael of silver. To earn more, Su Yunjin planned to make a few more jars to sell.

When Gu Ya learned that his little wife was going to sell more stinky tofu, he helped her just as before because making stinky tofu only took a couple of days.

Just as Su Yunjin finished making the stinky tofu and was about to sell them at Fuman Building to earn money, unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Qin’s wife at the Fuman Building also knew how to make stinky tofu.

When Su Yunjin brought her next delivery, the manager Liu said to her with a smile, “Madam, I apologize, but our Shopkeeper Qin’s wife at Fuman Building knows how to make stinky tofu as well. We are now using only the ones she made. So, in the future, you need not bring your stinky tofu to Fuman Building.”

What?

The Shopkeeper Qin’s wife at Fuman Building could actually make stinky tofu too?

Su Yunjin was dumbfounded.

The manager Liu smiled.

“Madam, do you not believe what I am saying? If you doubt it, you can go see for yourself in Fuman Building’s kitchen!”

Su Yunjin went to the kitchen of Fuman Building and indeed found that in addition to the few jars she had previously delivered, there were several new jars.

Furthermore, Su Yunjin tasted them and immediately sensed that Fuman Building’s stinky tofu was different from hers. There was only a slight difference, but Su Yunjin could tell.

Could it be that Shopkeeper Qin’s wife at Fuman Building really knew how to make stinky tofu?
