Chapter 47 Sold the Dowry
Gu Youyou thought that Wang Shun should also bring firewood today, so she kept waiting.

The pile of fabrics on the bed was prepared in advance by Gu Youyou. She called Wang Shun, who had put away the firewood, and said, "Shunzi, come here."

"What's the matter?" Wang Shun was puzzled, but he came over in a hurry.

"Sunja, are you free today? If you are free, do me a favor!"

Wang Shun is a typical simple and honest villager. He was very embarrassed when he heard Gu Youyou say this, and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, just tell me if you have anything to do. I'm free, and I don't have any farm work now, so I'm very free."

Gu Youyou sighed: "Didn't you say don't call me sister-in-law, just call me sister."

Gu Youyou looks like two or three years older than Wang Shun, and he is the age to talk about his daughter-in-law.

She felt that she and Jin Zijin had their share sooner or later. They were not the same people, so they didn't like being called sister-in-law.

Wang Shun didn't understand Gu Youyou's insistence, but he honestly asked, and called Sister Sheng without asking any further questions.

"Sister, what can I do for you?"

Gu Youyou pointed at the fabrics she had piled up and said, "Just these things, you can help me sell them in the town, and then help me get some medicine back for the money."

Wang Shun was slightly taken aback, looked at the fabrics, and said in surprise, "Isn't this your dowry? No, sister, these things cannot be sold. What medicine do you want to buy, I'll buy it for you first."

"What nonsense are you talking about, where did you get the money!"

He said embarrassedly, "Brother Jin will give it to me later."

Gu Youyou sighed, "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, I'm afraid the prey on the mountain is not easy to fight, right?"

Wang Shun disturbed his head, nodded and said, "Yes, animals are not common in winter, and sometimes you can't beat one a day."

"That's right, I can't hunt, and my family doesn't have any fields. How will I spend this winter!"

"Sister-in-law...sister?" Wang Shun looked at Gu Youyou with wide eyes, a little dejected, and felt that it was a sad day in his heart.

"This... Brother Jin will find a way."

Simple villagers feel that raising a wife is a man's job, but when he said this, his voice was very low.

Of course, he knew about Jin Zijin's difficulties. The prey he hunted every year was just enough for him to live alone. If he had any money, he would definitely build a house and marry a daughter-in-law who could give birth. How could he marry Gu Youyou for some dowry? Woolen cloth.

Now that there is one more person, Jin Zijin's hunting money is definitely not enough for the two of them to spend the winter. This is really...

But if Gu Youyou sold her dowry for the winter now, wouldn't that be true of what the old women in the village said?
He married Gu Youyou because he valued the dowry given by Mr. Gu.

What a good man Jin Zijin is, he is really worthless for Jin Zijin.

Gu Youyou said: "The mountains are not safe in this big winter. If there is food for the winter, he will be able to save a mountain or two, right? You should do my sister a favor and sell these things. Look at my body, I can't do it without taking medicine. I've already brought a lot of trouble to Zijin when I got married, and I don't want him to suffer any more. Human life is more important than these things. If I don't take medicine and can't survive this winter, then these things will be kept What's the use?"

Xu Shi's last sentence moved Wang Shun, and he finally nodded his head with gritted teeth and said, "Sister is right, face and other things are not as valuable as life. If you can save money with these things. Sister's life, it would be good to let Brother Jin go up the mountain less."
