The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 782 - Chapter 782 Chapter 782 Nothing Was Accomplished

Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Nothing Was Accomplished Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Nothing Was Accomplished When Gu Ya returned, his elder brother Su Muze had already left. Yunjin had not accepted any of the food Su Muze had brought; instead, she insisted that he take everything back with him.

She and Gu Ya lived in the town and had money, so they did not worry about food or clothing; they could have whatever they wanted. However, it was different for her elder brother and his family, who lived in the countryside.

It was inconvenient for them to purchase goods, and Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi were accustomed to frugality. Even though Yunjin’s parents were better off than before, she knew they would be reluctant to spend money on food.

Meat and such were still luxuries that appeared only occasionally. Since Yunjin’s kitchen was well-stocked and did not require these items, she would rather her elder brother take them back so that her parents and Ningxiu could enjoy some meat. In the end, not only did Yunjin return the gifts Su Muze had brought, but she also gave him plenty of meat and eggs from her own kitchen.

She wanted Su Muze to bring them home so their parents and second sister could nourish themselves, and also for Xiaobao. Xiaobao was still young and growing; he needed to eat well and strengthen his body.

All these items had been specially brought by Su Muze to congratulate his younger sister and brother-in-law. Of course, Su Muze felt it inappropriate to take them back. Yet Yunjin said that there was no need for formalities among family members.

She acknowledged his kind intentions, and Yunjin, more articulate than her blunt-speaking elder brother, convinced Su Muze to take back the goods. Not only that, but she also gave him a significant number of other quality items, causing a touch of embarrassment in Su Muze, a grown man, as he left with the bounty.

After elder brother Su Muze left, Yunjin pondered over the matters concerning her second sister, Su Ningxiu, so deeply that she didn’t notice Gu Ya’s return until he was right in front of her.

Only then did Yunjin belatedly realize that Gu Ya had come back.

“Yunjin, what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought,” Gu Ya said, frowning at his dazed wife. He thought she might be worried about the business of their shop.

Coming back to her senses, Yunjin, seeing Gu Ya’s return, quickly asked, “Husband, how did it go? Those taverns you went to talk to, are they all willing to buy our fruit wine?”

Gu Ya had taken the fruit wine his wife had made to several taverns to discuss business. After tasting the fruit wine he brought, all the taverns praised the wine as fragrant and indeed high quality, with no objections. However, they all found the price set by his wife to be too steep.

Gu Ya negotiated with them for a while. The taverns insisted that they lower their prices to some extent. If they could reduce the price, then those taverns would be willing to collaborate with them and purchase Zuixiang Restaurant’s fruit wine on a long-term basis. Of course, if Yunjin and her husband were unwilling to lower the prices, these taverns would hesitate to buy.

The price of the fruit wine was determined by his wife, and whether or not to lower it was her decision. When the taverns pressed Gu Ya for a discount, he did not agree. Instead, he politely asked for two days to think it over and discuss it with his wife before giving them an answer.

“Yunjin, to be frank, all the taverns I visited today think that our shop’s fruit wine is priced too high,” Gu Ya reported, responding to his wife’s inquiry without any concealment.

He told her the simple truth.
