Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Pickled Fish Sauce Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Pickled Fish Sauce After accepting the money, seeing that Su Yunjin gave twelve copper coins, both Niu Er and Feng Wu were very satisfied. After all, they hadn’t worked long that afternoon, and even ten copper coins would have been entirely sufficient for their work. Now, with Su Yunjin giving twelve coins, both Feng Wu and Niu Er were very happy.
Having sent Niu Er and Feng Wu off, today, Gu Jianghai, the fifth younger brother, also helped out with a day’s work, so naturally, Su Yunjin also planned to pay him for his labor.
Having prepared the same twelve copper coins, she found Gu Jianghai and handed them over with a smile, “Fifth Brother, you’ve helped with the house repairs all day today, so here are twelve copper coins for you, as your wage!”
“Sister-in-law, no, no, no! We’re family, and it’s only right that I help you and third brother with things; how could I take your silver?”
Gu Jianghai declined Su Yunjin’s money.
Mrs. Chu, the sister-in-law, also refused, “Sister-in-law, my husband is right; we’re all family, why be so formal? If you give us silver, it would be like we’re strangers.”
“Fifth Brother, Sister-in-law, listen to me, if I were to hire outsiders to help us with the house, I would definitely have to pay them! Sure, we’re all from the Gu Family, but even brothers should settle accounts clearly! These twelve copper coins are what you deserve, and you shouldn’t be modest with me!”
I don’t like taking advantage of others!
Whether Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu accepted the money or not, Su Yunjin openly put the twelve copper coins in Mrs. Chu’s hand. Having said her piece, Mrs. Chu looked to her husband Gu Jianghai with the money in hand, “Husband, what do you think about this…?”
“Nevermind! Since Sister-in-law insists, we’ll accept this silver,” Gu Jianghai stopped refusing after thinking it over for a moment.
Inside, Gu Ya continued his accounting work. When Su Yunjin returned, seeing Gu Ya still engrossed in his calculations, she decided not to disturb him. She left quietly, looking around. After today’s repairs, whether it was the doors, windows, or the roof, everything had been fixed up quite solidly.
Not bad!
Not bad!
We can make do with living here for now.
Su Yunjin planned to save up enough money, then go with Gu Ya to repair a house and live in it, making it spacious and bright, more comfortable to live in.
Speaking of making money, Su Yunjin immediately thought of the pickled fish sauce she made last time at her mother’s home. Back then, she wanted to make money from the pickled fish sauce to help her elder brother, Su Muze, buy back his indenture contract.
