Chapter 374 - Chapter 374 Chapter 374 Cunning
Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Cunning Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Cunning Su Yunjin pinched her purse.
Curiously, she asked Gu Ya, “Husband, how much money is in the purse?”
Gu Ya hadn’t checked, but he roughly knew that the silver in the purse was about ten taels, probably around twelve taels, or maybe even thirteen taels–the exact amount was uncertain.
“Yunjin, why don’t you open it and see for yourself?” The young wife, clutching her purse filled with money, once again revealed her little miserly tendencies.
Su Yunjin opened the purse and poured out the silver coins, counting them one by one–exactly thirteen pieces. After counting, she looked up at Gu Ya with a smile, “Husband, thirteen taels.”
Actually, Gu Ya’s wages for keeping accounts were twelve taels, so the extra tael must have been given additionally by Manager Liu, “Yunjin, it seems that Manager Liu has given me one more tael of silver.”
“Really?” Su Yunjin was somewhat astonished with a look of doubt on her face, “Husband, are you saying that Manager Liu, who is more crafty than a fox, gave you an extra tael of silver?”
Could it be?
Su Yunjin had some disbelief!
Manager Liu, that old fox, was extremely cunning when doing business with her, very shrewd and ruthless in driving down prices. Su Yunjin didn’t believe that Manager Liu, that old fox, would be so generous as to give Gu Ya an extra tael of silver.
The young wife wore a face full of suspicion, and Gu Ya chuckled, “Yunjin, Manager Liu is actually quite generous. Every time I go to Fuman Building to help with the accounts, he always gives me a little extra silver.”
Generous?
Do ‘Manager Liu’ and ‘generous’ even go together?
Thinking of Manager Liu’s crafty ways, Su Yunjin found the words Gu Ya had just said to be the funniest joke she’d ever heard.
“Husband, you actually say that Manager Liu, that old fox, is generous?” She reached out to check Gu Ya’s forehead, really wanting to see if the man had come down with a fever.
Gu Ya took her hand away, knowing that Manager Liu from Fuman Building was indeed shrewd when doing business with others, and the young wife had dealt with him before.
No wonder the young wife would say that Manager Liu was cunning and not generous.
“Yunjin, Manager Liu is shrewd when doing business with others, but when I go to Fuman Building to keep accounts, he actually is quite generous,” he said.
Looking down at the silver that Gu Ya had just handed to her and considering that the old fox had given Gu Ya an extra tael, she thought that although Manager Liu wasn’t generous in their business dealings, this act was indeed pretty considerate. With this extra money, Su Yunjin now had almost fifty taels in hand.
Not bad!
Having silver is good.
Su Yunjin didn’t dwell on whether Manager Liu was actually generous or not with Gu Ya anymore.
Regarding the house repairs, Su Yunjin had previously planned to ask her fifth brother-in-law Gu Jianghai for help, but now she had changed her mind.
Now that Gu Ya’s leg had healed, there was no need to ask Gu Jianghai for help anymore, “Husband, your leg is fine now, should we start looking for someone to repair the house?”
