farmer's husband

Chapter 511 Respect for Money

In fact, this young man is not young, it seems that he should be in his early twenties.

He was wearing white washed coarse cloth clothes, the sleeves were a bit short, and his hair was simply tied on the top of his head, held by a copper-clad hairpin. He looked like a young man who was very poor.

However, he did have a good appearance, and he also carried a bit of a bookish look in his gestures, which added a bit of elegance to him.

This person only glanced at Chun Zhi, then he looked away, turned around and opened the curtain, and helped an old woman out of the car.

The two of them leaned against each other and whispered, while walking slowly into Yizhichun.

"This is already the fifth time." Ya Qiu whispered in Chun Zhi's ear, "The previous four times he just looked at it and didn't buy it. We almost thought he was here to find fault. But today, I didn't expect him to bring a Someone is here!"

Haruka nodded. "Who is he, has his identity been found?"

"I found out, it's a student in the capital, surnamed Du Mingce, from a poor family. He has already been selected as a scholar, but he went to the Qiuwei examination the year before last and lost his name to Sun Shan." Yaqiu replied, "Originally he was awarded a scholar and received a monthly salary. Some of Lumi’s, but because his old mother is seriously ill, he has to spend a lot of money every month to see the doctor and buy medicines, so he can’t make ends meet, so the life is becoming more and more poor every day. The old woman he brought today should be him old mother."

"That's a student from a humble family like Xianggong. This is really rare." Chunzhi nodded, and immediately felt a little fond of this person in his heart.

When the two of them were talking, Chun Zhi heard a low voice coming from below, sometimes mixed with soft pleading.

After a while, I saw Chun Yu coming upstairs.

"Sister, a scholar came down here. He said he was here to make clothes for his mother. But he only had twenty cents on hand, which is not enough! I asked them to just pull some cloth and go back and sew it up by themselves. I disagree, saying that his mother is blind and can't sew, and he doesn't know how to sew, so he insists on credit first, and then pays us back when he saves enough money in the next year. For this little money, I have to write a little IOU Save a little and pay it back, as for it?”

Now following Chunzhi, Chunyu can also handle several hundred taels of business every month, and he can use tens of hundreds of taels of money at his disposal, so he gradually doesn't put a few tens of taels of money away. In the eyes.

When Chun Zhi heard this, her face sank. "What are you talking about? Have you forgotten that our family almost died because of a few pennies?"

Chun Yu's face turned pale from the training.He quickly lowered his head: "Sister, I was wrong."

Chunzhi hummed softly. "We all came from the countryside and were born in poverty. Although life is easier now, it's not because we look down on others. This person knows how to save money to make clothes for his old mother during the New Year's Eve. A filial piety is hard to come by."

"Yes, sister, you are right, I will not dare in the future." Chun Yu's head almost dropped to his chest.

In his eyes, Chun Zhi, the elder sister, is still very dignified.At least, every time Chun Zhi got angry, he would be terribly frightened, even more panicked than seeing Chai Dong's downcast face.

Chun Zhi breathed out again, and she stepped forward: "I'll go down and have a look."

Stepping on the stairs and going down, she heard a low begging voice from below: "Please do me a favor, just let me make an IOU first! I promise, I will pay you back! Not soon Is it Chinese New Year? I’m sure many people will write letters to their families. I’m ready to set up a stall outside to write letters to people. I can almost earn back the money in two months. I always do this in previous years Yes, the business will definitely not be bad this time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone to watch me when the time comes!”

The guys in the shop also had sad looks on their faces.

They opened a shop to do business, and met all kinds of customers, some were rich and powerful, some were frivolous, and some wanted to cheat a set of clothes without paying anything, but like now It was the first time that a scholar humbly begged for credit with twenty cents.

Because of love, they certainly didn't want to cruelly reject his request.But Yu Li, they dare not agree.After all, who knows what this honest-looking scholar looks like inside?If he ran away after getting the money, why wouldn't they have to pay for it with their own wages later?

So, now they all hope that Chun Yu can get an explanation from Chun Zhi quickly, so that they can obey orders.

But he didn't expect that when Chun Yu went up, he would replace Chun Zhi directly!

Now Chunzhi is the leader of Yizhichun, and for the sake of Chai Dong's face, she seldom appears in Yizhichun. Usually, Chunfeng's daughter-in-law Dong comes to handle things.It was also Chunzhi who was so entangled by the children at home that she planned to come to Yichun for a walk to get some fresh air, and also to look at the new tricks, but who knows, this happened to her.

And since she met her, she didn't intend to stand by and watch.

Nodding to the shopkeeper and fellows who came to salute, Chun Zhi walked up to Du Xiucai.

Du Xiucai had just heard the voices of the guys, and already knew Chun Zhi's identity.He also hastened to salute Chun Zhi with his fists clasped.

Chun Zhi bowed and bowed before she spoke softly: "Mr. Du's filial piety is commendable, we are very touched. But since you have been here many times before, you should know that the price of our Yizhi Chunli tailor-made clothes is not cheap. If you If you only have twenty coins on hand, I advise you to cut a few feet of cloth, and then take it back and ask someone to make it for your mother. Otherwise, we can also sell you a set of ready-made clothes at cost price."

"Thank you Madam for your kindness. It's just that the beginning of next month will be my mother's [-]th birthday. I'm not good at being a son, and I don't study well. Now I want to make a good dress for my mother on her birthday. After all... ...Maybe this is the last dress she makes, so of course I have to make it better for her." Du Xiucai said in a low voice.

When Chun Zhi heard this, she felt her heart tighten, and she couldn't help but think of the time when she and Chai Dong lived together tightly.

In the past, they were too poor to even afford good clothes!
"Cough, cough, cough..." The old woman suddenly coughed several times, and then she grabbed Du Xiucai's hand tightly, "Son, let's forget it! This shop can tell that the clothes inside are all It’s not cheap, let’s change to another one. My mother didn’t actually say that I have to make clothes here, I just heard someone mention it, and then I told you that the clothes in this place are very good. I didn't know that clothes here are so expensive!"

As she spoke, she dragged Du Xiucai to her death and walked out.

Du Xiucai was really dragged out by her slowly.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, Chun Zhi suddenly felt a movement in her heart, and she cried out.

The mother and son stopped in their tracks for an instant, and then both turned their heads.

"Actually, I can also fulfill your filial piety, Young Master Du. That's..." Chun Zhi thought for a while, "Twenty Wen is still too little, and the cost price is not enough. You have to bring out something more. "

"I said, I can write an IOU!" Du Xiucai said quickly.

"Forget about the IOU." Chun Zhi shook his head.Suddenly her eyes lit up, "By the way, do you know how to paint? If you do, then you might as well draw a pattern for our shop. If you can use it, then it can be deducted from the embroiderer's wages."

"I can draw a few strokes, but I don't know if the drawn things can catch your eyes, madam." Du Xiucai nodded quickly.

"Then let's draw it first! Even if you can't use it directly, you should be able to change it." Chunzhi said softly.

Chun Yu hurriedly asked people to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Du Xiucai picked up the pen and thought for a while before drawing a picture of autumn chrysanthemums.

After finishing the drawing, he put down the pen, and looked at Chun Zhi tremblingly: "I don't know how this picture is? Can it be used if I change it?"

"Should be able." Chun Zhi nodded, "Okay, this pattern will be regarded as the money you paid for making clothes for your mother. Now, you go to choose the material first!"

"Thank you ma'am!" Du Xiucai hurriedly saluted Chun Zhi, then turned around excitedly, and dragged the old lady over there to announce the news.

Chunzhi went back upstairs holding the picture of autumn chrysanthemums.

Chun Yu still follows Chun Zhi.

He craned his neck to look at the picture, then pouted. "I think his painting is very ordinary! Sister, you really paid a lot of money to take care of his face."

"The painting is so-so, but if you change it, you can really make a pattern." Chunzhi said.

Chun Yu frowned. "Sister, do you really plan to change?"

"Why not?" Chunzhi raised his eyes and looked at him, "Since I bought this painting, of course I have to use it. Otherwise, this is a disrespect to him, and it is also a disrespect to money. Our family's money is not Dafeng I'm not going to disrespect them that much."

So, the point is still - money!She won't waste even a penny!
