Chapter 1233: Chapter 1233: Too Little, Need More

Su Yunjin threw off Gu Hengniang’s hand.

Her tone was ice-cold.

“Second Sister, you’ve seen for yourself now. If my husband were here, he would have come out to see you by now. You don’t trust me, so you came to check, and now that you have, shouldn’t you be leaving?”

Su Yunjin bluntly asked her to leave. After the scrutiny Gu Hengniang had just conducted, she too realized Gu Ya likely wasn’t there.

If Gu Ya had been home, he wouldn’t have refrained from meeting her. Gu Hengniang looked at Su Yunjin; she had come all this way and hadn’t yet gained any advantage!

How could she be content to leave?

Gu Ya wasn’t there, but she could wait. Gu Hengniang was still waiting for her younger brother to give her money to buy a Jade Pendant for her own man, taking advantage of Wan Da’an’s birthday.

By giving Wan Da’an a gift he had his eye on, she wanted to remind him of her worth, so he would treat her as he used to, and not be bewitched by that vixen anymore.

Was it just about bearing a son?

She, Gu Hengniang, could bear one too.

Having already given birth to two daughters, she refused to believe she could bear another daughter if she was pregnant for the third time. With this small plan in mind, Gu Hengniang stubbornly stayed put at Su Yunjin’s house.

When her younger brother returned, she would ask him for money again. She and Gu Ya were siblings; if Su Yunjin wouldn’t give her the money, she was sure Gu Ya definitely would.

Gu Hengniang showed no intention of leaving.

Su Yunjin spoke again, trying to drive her away.

“Second Sister, you can leave now. I don’t have time to entertain you.” Gu Hengniang showed no signs of leaving, and just looking at her soured Su Yunjin’s mood. She wanted to dismiss Gu Hengniang as soon as possible.

Instead of leaving, Gu Hengniang sat down in the courtyard of Su Yunjin’s house, “Sister-in-law, since my younger brother is not home, I’ll wait for him here. I’ll leave when he comes back.”

Gu Ya might not return until nightfall. If Gu Hengniang were really to stay until it was dark, that would mean having her irritating presence all day long. Su Yunjin certainly didn’t intend to let Gu Hengniang stay until dark.

She had to drive Gu Hengniang away now.

Otherwise, just the thought of Gu Hengniang’s lingering presence was vexing. Su Yunjin didn’t want her to stay and irritate her indefinitely. Just as Su Yunjin was about to speak,

Gu Hengniang suddenly stood up and then headed straight toward Su Yunjin’s kitchen. Su Yunjin’s kitchen was spacious and almost twice as large as the one in the old Gu Family house, with two sets of pots and stoves.

The variety of food on the stove was even richer, with chicken and duck as well as eggs, and there were even a couple of live fish in a wooden barrel. And that wasn’t all, while ordinary families ate brown rice and coarse food, Gu Hengniang noticed that Su Yunjin and Gu Ya not only ate fine rice but also had high-quality white flour.

Gu Hengniang knew that Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, as husband and wife, lived well, but she had not expected them to live this lavishly, tsk tsk tsk, simply incredible.

Perhaps not even the town’s gentry ate as well as they did. She had married into the Wan Family, which was considered wealthy in the village.

Yet, even the people of the Wan Family didn’t eat as well as Su Yunjin and Gu Ya! Where could one find a meal with all sorts of meat and poultry like this? Only during festivals could one feast so sumptuously as Su Yunjin’s daily meals.

Gu Hengniang was both envious and jealous, and in an instant felt that just borrowing sixty taels was far too modest, hmmph, her younger brother Gu Ya was wealthy, wasn’t he?

Well then, she would borrow three to five hundred taels instead.
