After being forced to marry by her stepmother, the Koi wife brings prosperity to the whole family

The rice shop in Qingzhou was opened within half a month. On that day, there was a constant stream of customers. Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou watched from the side with smiles on their faces.

A passing villager saw it and walked over and said, "Old Zhou family, is this rice shop opened by you?"

Du Wanchun looked carefully and saw that it was Aunt Hu from Changliu Village.

Aunt Hu lived in the south of Changliu Village. Du Wanchun had seen her several times when she just got married.

Every time Aunt Hu passed by Zhou's house, she would look inside and say, "My husband is still the best. He can raise three sons without worrying about food and clothing."

Her words showed her disdain for Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou knew that she didn't like her, so they seldom interacted.

No, Aunt Hu's eldest son worked in a wealthy family in Qingzhou Prefecture. In order to take care of her grandson, she moved here half a year ago. Now she was surprised to see Aunt Zhou running a rice shop.

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Yes, this is the rice shop opened by our Zhou family."

Aunt Hu's face sank slightly when she heard it, and she frowned and said in disbelief, "You Zhou family can still afford to open a rice shop. How come you found a good man to marry and got money?"

She was talking about Aunt Zhou.

Because she hadn't been in Changliu Village for some time, she didn't know about the third prince and thought Aunt Zhou was a widow.

Aunt Zhou looked at her and said coldly, "Old Hu family, if you don't buy rice, get out of the way. The customers behind you still want to buy."

Aunt Hu's face turned green with anger, especially when she saw the hairpin on Aunt Zhou's head, her eyes were full of jealousy.

She made way for the guests behind her, walked to Auntie Zhou, looked at her headdress, and said, "Is the red hairpin on your head real or fake?"

Du Wanchun was not polite, "Of course it's real, we won't buy fake ones."

Auntie Hu's eyes were obviously more angry, "Your Zhou family is getting better and better now, and you can even afford to wear a gold hairpin."

Du Wanchun was still not polite, "Of course, our Zhou family now has several incense shops and rice shops, and we can still afford to wear a red hairpin, but unlike Auntie Hu, we are now rooted in Qingzhou Prefecture, unlike us who still live in the house in Changliu Village."

Auntie Hu was angry, but she couldn't get angry at Du Wanchun's words. She had no choice but to follow her words and said, "I am also blessed by my son to live in a big house in Qingzhou Prefecture."

After she finished speaking, she raised her voice slightly and continued to boast, "Mr. Zhou, how are your three sons? Are they still farming at home?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and replied, "The eldest passed the imperial examination, the second went to the capital to do business, and the third went to the border to find a job."

She spoke in a calm tone and slowly. It was a very ordinary sentence, but Mrs. Hu's face turned purple. Although her sons were all in Qingzhou Prefecture, they were all laborers for wealthy families. How could they compare to them, one passed the imperial examination, one opened a shop to do business, and one had an official position.

Mrs. Hu had to accept it even if she was unwilling in her heart. She bought two buckets of rice and left in disgrace.

Seeing her back, Aunt Zhou said to Du Wanchun, "If you see this kind of person again, don't sell rice to her."

Du Wanchun smiled and replied, "Okay, mother, but I guess she won't dare to come again next time."

She has lost her face. If she dares to come again, she will be asking for trouble.

Aunt Zhou pulled her into the house and said, "You are tired after a busy day today. Come in and have a rest."

Du Wanchun followed her into the house and saw Zhou Ruiyuan coming over with a big box.

She walked over in confusion and asked, "My husband, what is this?"

Zhou Ruiyuan slowly opened the box, "Take a look."

Du Wanchun looked inside and saw a phoenix crown.

She looked up at Zhou Ruiyuan in surprise, "This?"

Zhou Ruiyuan replied softly, "This is the phoenix crown I made myself."

Du Wanchun looked down at the surprisingly crafted phoenix crown, still full of doubts in her heart, "Husband, why did you make this phoenix crown?"

At this time, Aunt Zhou came over and said, "Wanchun, have you forgotten that today is your birthday?"

"My birthday?!" Du Wanchun was shocked. After thinking carefully, she found that today was indeed her birthday, but she didn't expect Zhou Ruiyuan and Aunt Zhou to remember it.

Aunt Zhou reached out and gently pushed aside the broken hair on her forehead and said, "Wanchun, you have been married to our Zhou family for more than a year. In the past year or so, you have been eating with us.

"I've suffered a lot, and there was no banquet or proper phoenix coronet and bridal robe at the wedding. Ruiyuan said that he would make a phoenix coronet for you and give you a grand wedding in the future."

Du Wanchun looked up at Aunt Zhou and Zhou Ruiyuan, and was very moved by the gentle smiles on their faces. She took the phoenix coronet and said with a smile: "Thank you, husband, thank you, mother."

Then Zhou Ruiyuan continued: "Come, I'll take you to a place."

Du Wanchun asked in confusion: "Where is it?"
