Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Restraint Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Restraint Su Yunjin was actually satisfied with her second sister Su Ningxiu’s reaction. It seemed that her second sister was not the kind of person who lacked sense or acted foolishly. If her second sister had been foolish and unaware of propriety, even if Su Yunjin had the intention to help her, she probably would have been unable to prevent any possible issues. After all, her second sister was an adult, and she couldn’t possibly watch over her twenty-four hours a day.
Having agreed with Su Yunjin, Su Ningxiu finished discussing her own matters and began to size up the small shop owned by Su Yunjin and the others, after it had been tidied up by Su Yunjin.
The storefront was not large, yet it was fully equipped, with shelves and the counter filled with jars of fruit wine. Su Ningxiu looked over the entire little shop with joy.
She asked Su Yunjin with a smile, “Little sister, when did you and your husband buy this shop? Mother and father will surely be happy when they find out.”
Although the shop was small, in Su Ningxiu’s eyes, it was quite an accomplishment. For a family from the countryside, owning a shop like this was not easy.
“Second sister, my husband and I bought this shop a month ago, and we’ll be opening in a few days. I was thinking of inviting you and our parents to see it once it opened, but since you are here now, Second Sister, we have a good selection of wines in the shop. Later, you can take a couple of jars back for our parents to try.”
Su Ningxiu was still inspecting Su Yunjin’s shop, feeling increasingly happy for her little sister. In a private moment of envy, she suddenly felt a pang of jealousy upon seeing the shop that her little sister and brother-in-law had opened.
However, her thoughts shifted to Young Master Wu, and her spirits lifted again. The Young Master Wu who admired her lived in the town and his family was also in business. After marrying Young Master Wu, she could also have her own shop in town.
Imagining a future of marital bliss with Young Master Wu, Su Yunjin, on the other hand, was pondering how to inquire about this gentleman with the surname Wu for her second sister. Anticipating that her second sister’s involvement with Young Master Wu had not yet reached an irreversible point, Su Yunjin hoped to nip any premature affection for Young Master Wu in the bud to prevent future misfortune for Ningxiu.
Su Yunjin had an intuition that Young Master Wu was an unreliable man and was not genuinely fond of her second sister Ningxiu. She didn’t even know Young Master Wu’s given name.
Su Yunjin asked Su Ningxiu again.
“Second Sister, I forgot to ask you, what is Young Master Wu’s full name?” Knowing Young Master Wu’s name would make the search more convenient. She could simply go to South Market to ask around, which should yield some information.
After all, in South Market, there were not many families with the surname Wu who owned pastry shops — just two or three. It would be easy to make inquiries, and not too troublesome. As Su Yunjin asked, Su Ningxiu did not conceal anything.
She told Su Yunjin the truth, “Little sister, his name is Wu Yan. The ‘Yan’ is from the word for banquet.” Just mentioning Wu Yan, who had recently expressed mutual affection with her, brought Su Ningxiu waves of happiness.
Wu Yan?
Excellent!
Having learned the name of the man, everything else would now be easier to handle.
Su Yunjin noted down the name.
Then Gu Ya’s voice came from outside.
“Yunjin!” The young wife had sent Gu Ya to buy fireworks for the grand opening. Gu Ya had purchased two large strings that, once lit, would crackle and pop for a good while. Since it was his wife’s wine shop opening,
the fireworks had to be brilliant and loud.
Gu Ya did not mind spending silver.
He had bought the very best kind of fireworks.
Su Yunjin and Su Ningxiu, the sisters, turned to look at Gu Ya as he walked in from outside. Su Yunjin walked up to him with a smile, “Husband, you’re back?”
