Chapter 2208: Chapter 2208: Huge Profits
Gu Ya returned, and Mrs. An also moved over before the end of the year. Just as Mrs. An was planning to gradually get hold of the butler’s power, she did not expect her son would actually be going to Ning City and Salt City to take office.
Not only her son, but even Su Yunjin and the two children also went to Ning City with Gu Ya, leaving Mrs. An alone in the big mansion.
Mrs. An had devised a belly full of strategies, but before she could implement them, her son and daughter-in-law left together.
With just Mrs. An left in the mansion, she instantly felt like a deflated ball, losing all her fighting spirit at once.
Gu Ya was going to Ning City and Salt City to take office; the Emperor had arranged a residence for Gu Ya, so Su Yunjin and Gu Ya could move directly in without needing to purchase another house.
The little Tiangua and Little Yuanbao, who are over a year old, now can walk on their own. Little Yuanbao walks steadily and likes to imitate his father, looking like a little adult.
It’s particularly amusing.
Little Tiangua can also walk, but the little guy isn’t as steady as his brother. Little Tiangua walks shakily, and Su Yunjin constantly worries that Little Tiangua might fall accidentally!
In places with ponds and steps, Su Yunjin is particularly careful.
The first year Gu Ya took office in Ning City, he completely eradicated the bandit issue, and Salt City’s economy gradually developed. Although it wasn’t as prosperous as Yangcheng and other places, most people could now be self-sufficient and have enough to eat.
This year, my elder brother’s wife gave birth to a daughter. My sister-in-law was eagerly hoping for a son but gave birth to a daughter. She wouldn’t even look at the baby, hold her, let alone soothe her. Later, after persuasion from Su Muze and the others, Guo Qiulan finally agreed to hold the child.
There’s also the child Wan Ruyan gave birth to, which Mrs. Zhang discovered wasn’t her son Gu Changshun’s. Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she went to the Wan Family to cause trouble several times, nearly landing both families in a lawsuit. Eventually, my sister-in-law threw the child away, and the Wan Family didn’t want her either. Fortunately, an elderly couple ended up adopting the child.
Second sister said that Su Xiaofu committed a crime and was already taken to jail. Su Yunjin asked for the reason. It turned out Fan Wenxuan had really made an effort, and managed to pass the imperial exam to become a minor official.
Su Xiaofu had been with Fan Wenxuan for a long time and seeing him pass the imperial exam, she finally had the chance to enjoy a bit of good life with him. Unexpectedly, Fan Wenxuan started an affair again with that Feng Meimei from before, even inviting Feng Meimei to the room he shared with Su Xiaofu for clandestine meetings.
After Su Xiaofu discovered them, she was furious, her eyes reddened. The grievances she had suffered at Fan Wenxuan’s home for a year all exploded at this moment.
Picking up a dagger, Su Xiaofu stabbed Fan Wenxuan in the groin. Fan Wenxuan was injured in that area, and Su Xiaofu was also taken to jail.
Su Yunjin wasn’t interested in the matter between Fan Wenxuan and Su Xiaofu, so she only listened, and after second sister finished speaking, Su Yunjin didn’t ask further.
In a year’s time, the Rouge Shop was expanded to dozens of stores, not only in the town and Yangcheng, but also in Ning City and Salt City, all run by Su Yunjin.
Xue Chu and Linglong managed the dock business very well too, and in a short time, almost the whole dock was filled with Su Yunjin’s ships and business.
Now even if it’s just a month, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya can earn several tens of thousands taels of silver, sometimes even over a hundred thousand in a month.
Gu Ya originally never intended to be an official; taking over Ning City and Salt City was forced by circumstances.
Now the problems in Ning City and Salt City are mostly resolved, and Gu Ya plans to resign from his current official position in about a year when the opportunity arises.
