Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Inquiring about News Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Inquiring about News With Second Sister Su Ningxiu here, Su Yunjin made quite a few extra dishes for lunch: hot and sour shredded potatoes, braised eggplant, stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots, egg tofu soup, and an additional stewed fish head soup.
Five dishes and a soup, which was already considered lavish compared to the meals in the village. Of all the dishes, Su Yunjin enjoyed nothing more than the fish head soup.
After drinking two large bowls of fish head soup and eating half a bowl of rice, Su Yunjin was particularly satisfied with her meal. With so many dishes on the table, Su Ningxiu also ate to her heart’s content.
For the wine from the store, Su Yunjin planned to have Second Sister Su Ningxiu bring two jars back to their parents when she returned, so they could taste something fresh.
Carrying two jars of fruit wine, and worried that it might be cumbersome for Second Sister Su Ningxiu to carry, Su Yunjin didn’t choose the larger jars. She selected moderately-sized ones strung together with hemp rope, easy to carry by hand. In addition to the fruit wine, Su Yunjin also gave some meat and pastries for Su Ningxiu to take back.
The meat and pastries were bought by Gu Ya yesterday, giving half to Su Ningxiu while Su Yunjin kept the other half for herself. Now, neither she nor Gu Ya were short of money.
If the meat and pastries were gone, they could simply go buy more. After seeing off her second sister, Su Yunjin told Gu Ya about Second Sister Su Ningxiu and that man.
“My lord, the man who likes Second Sister hasn’t given her his address, nor has he formally asked for her hand in marriage from the Su Family. He has only been meeting with Second Sister privately. I feel that this man may not truly have sincere intentions towards my sister, what do you think?” Su Yunjin expressed her thoughts.
Gu Ya frowned. If it were as his little wife said, he too felt that Master Wu might have ulterior motives towards Su Ningxiu.
Gu Ya, being a man, understood the minds of men better than his little wife. Things that his wife could guess, Gu Ya would certainly not fail to perceive.
Su Yunjin continued, “My lord, Second Sister likes that man. If he is truly reliable, worthy of entrusting her life to, I would be happy to see Second Sister together with him. But if that man is only interested in her for fun, I can’t just watch my sister be deceived by him.”
Su Yunjin couldn’t just stand idly by when it came to Su Ningxiu’s matters. Gu Ya looked at his little wife; his wife’s sister’s affairs were his as well.
“Yun wife, what do you want me to do?” Gu Ya knew that his little wife had a plan in mind. Once she spoke it out, he would do as she said.
Su Yunjin’s idea was to have Gu Ya first investigate the background of Master Wu, and then make a decision, “My lord, I’ve been told by Second Sister that this Master Wu lives at a certain place on South Street, where his family sells tea and pastries. I’d like you to help me find out, ask around South Street whether there’s the man Second Sister mentioned.”
Su Yunjin suspected that both the man’s identity and residence could be deceiving her sister, and having Gu Ya investigate would reveal the truth. Gu Ya nodded.
“Yun wife, I’ll go to South Street right now to help you check it out.” Without delay, Gu Ya intended to inquire for his wife’s sister immediately.
Su Yunjin grabbed Gu Ya’s hand, “My lord, I forgot to tell you, that man’s surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Yan. You can inquire using this name.”
With the man’s name now known, Gu Ya left. Su Yunjin stayed behind in the store, waiting for the results of Gu Ya’s inquiries while continuing to prepare the things needed for the store’s opening.
