Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: Midwife

Wan Ruyan’s drugging incident was being investigated by the County Magistrate, so Gu Ya did not need to trouble himself further. His young wife’s belly was growing bigger and Gu Ya thought it was time to start thinking about finding a midwife for her. Although there was still some time before his young wife’s delivery, preparing a midwife in advance meant being prepared for any contingency.

Gu Ya did not trust the village midwives. Last time he fell down from the mountain, it was the village quacks who delayed the treatment and caused him to become lame. His young wife’s delivery was a major event, so Gu Ya wanted to find an experienced midwife with guaranteed medical skills for her. Anything related to his young wife, Gu Ya would never be careless or negligent.

He was determined to ensure that nothing went wrong.

At the end of the month at Zuixiang Restaurant, Gu Ya brought back all the silver notes earned by Zuixiang Restaurant this month. Su Yunjin opened the chest, counted briefly, and discovered that the profit of Zuixiang Restaurant this month had increased by nearly three thousand taels compared to last month. Su Yunjin happily counted the silver notes.

Her joyful little gestures made Gu Ya somewhat amused; he poked her forehead with his large hand, his voice deep and indulgent, "You really are a little money grubber!"

After so long, Gu Ya felt that the only unchanging aspect of his young wife was her money-loving nature. Her eyes always sparkled at the sight of silver notes, and it had never changed.

Su Yunjin looked up at Gu Ya.

She did not mind his words at all.

Money grubber then money grubber.

She just liked silver.

The more, the better.

No one in the world would think they had too much silver, and Su Yunjin was no exception. She also hoped she could earn more silver; the more silver she had, the happier Su Yunjin would be.

The business of Zuixiang Restaurant was doing so well now, mainly because of the plaques gifted personally by Princess Rui, and importantly because of Gu Ya’s management. During Gu Ya’s management of Zuixiang Restaurant, not only had he introduced several types of aromatic fruit wines, but through his research and improvement, even the rice wine sold at Zuixiang Restaurant tasted better than others.

Everything is relative, and people would always choose to buy the better-tasting option. The fruit wine and rice wine from Zuixiang Restaurant tasted good, naturally attracting more people from the market to buy. Gu Ya mentioned that this month, aside from the townspeople buying more fruit wine, even people from Yangcheng who had heard about the fruit wine came to buy at their Zuixiang Restaurant.

Among them, two famous restaurants in Yangcheng had signed cooperation contracts with their Zuixiang Restaurant, agreeing to purchase fruit wine and rice wine supplied by Zuixiang Restaurant on a long-term basis.

Last time Su Yunjin and her partners opened a wine shop, the business was good, but it attracted the envy of many surrounding wineries, not to mention being incessantly harassed, and ultimately even the wine shop was deliberately burned down to ashes.

This time Su Yunjin and her partners opened their wine shop opposite Fuman Building, where most of the shops on this street were owned by the Shen Family and Lady Qin. The Shen Family and Lady Qin were upright in business; their business flourished, and neither the Shen Family nor Lady Qin ever caused them trouble. Moreover, Lady Qin also had business dealings with their Zuixiang Restaurant.

Everyone profited together.

Opening Zuixiang Restaurant near Fuman Building, Su Yunjin felt this was the most correct decision she had made.

Su Yunjin was in high spirits, and Gu Ya casually mentioned the matter of hiring a midwife, "Yunjin, your pregnancy is advancing, and I’ve heard that the midwives from Yangcheng are better than those in town. I plan to go to Yangcheng in a few days to find two midwives to bring back. When it’s time for you to deliver, let them assist you. What do you think?"
