The house was nearly repaired, and Su Yunjin had to prepare the workers' wages in advance. Once the house was finished, she would be able to pay the workers.
Originally, buying materials for the house renovation had cost a not inconsiderable amount of silver, and Su Yunjin did not have much left, just around twenty or so taels of silver after setting aside the workers' pay.
After the house was completed, she also needed to procure furniture, and Su Yunjin planned to buy everything new, which would require a considerable sum of silver.
She saw that the money she had would not suffice.
Unexpectedly, today brought an additional bonus from pig's blood.
With the income of fifty taels of silver, besides paying the workers' wages, there would be enough to buy furniture without having to stretch her finances too thin.
