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

The flowers are in full bloom.

"Well, mother, go a little further inside, the flowers are in full bloom." Du Wanchun walked into the depths of the sea of ​​flowers with a basket.

The wind blowing in the face was full of the fragrance of flowers, and the fragrance was pleasant.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law picked two large baskets in a short while. When they went back, they did not forget to pick a few wild citrons on the way.

The two returned home with a full load.

Du Wanchun smiled and put the petals in the backyard. When she returned to the front room, she heard Aunt Zhou listening to Aunt Wang gossiping at the village gate.

"Oh, sister Zhou, you didn't see that the woman from the Chen family, your sister-in-law, had her hand almost bitten off by a snake. When Chen Laoda carried her back, her face was as pale as a ghost."

Auntie Wang is not from this village. She moved to Changliu Village with her husband a few years ago. She has no children. Although she talks a lot, she is quite nice to the Zhou family.

Speaking of which, Auntie Zhou is a woman who raises three sons alone and has never worked in the fields. If it weren't for the help of these kind-hearted neighbors in the village, it would not be so easy for her to gain a foothold in the village.

Aunt Zhou handed her a few newly picked radishes and said, "She has completely fallen out with our family and is no longer my sister-in-law."

Aunt Wang took the radishes and smiled, "It should have been done a long time ago. In the future, if she begs you, you don't have to pay attention to her."

Aunt Zhou nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with the Chen family."

Aunt Wang held her hand and patted it, "That's right."

After the two chatted for a while, Aunt Zhou went into the house and began to count the family's savings.

In the past two days, she took the duck eggs from her home to the village and sold some copper coins, about 300 coins.

These are enough to buy food and cloth.

However, it is still a lot less to make perfume.

She wants to buy a large boiler for perfume, and a bottle for perfume.

Seeing her sad face, Du Wanchun walked to her side, took out her red hairpin, and said, "Mother, how about I pawn my red hairpin and redeem it when I make money."

Mrs. Zhou quickly refused, "No, you can't pawn this thing your mother left for you."

Du Wanchun looked at the red hairpin in her hand and said slowly, "Mother, money is something outside of one's body. My mother left these things to me thinking that if I was about to starve to death one day, I could use them to exchange for silver to help me get through this difficult time. I think now is the time to get through this difficult time. "When we make money from the fragrant dew, we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

Mrs. Zhou still didn't agree, "No, I know your mother is kind, but no matter how poor our Zhou family is, we can't use our daughter-in-law's dowry."

She stuffed the red hairpin into Du Wanchun's hand, held her hand tightly and said, "I'll find a way to get the money, keep this."

Du Wanchun was stunned. When she went back to the Du family to get these things, she was thinking about helping the Zhou family. She didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to be so strong-willed.

She was very surprised, but she felt it was reasonable.

She really didn't make a mistake.

People say that when you marry someone, you should not only look at the man, but also the mother. It's true.

Mrs. Zhou is upright and knows the big picture. Naturally, her son will not be bad.

Du Wanchun carefully put the red hairpin back into her sleeve.

At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan came out of the room and said, "Pawn this."

Du Wanchun looked back and saw the pen she had taken last night: "Husband, you..."

Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly, "This pen is made of rabbit hair and ivory. Although it is a little worn out, it should be able to get some silver if you pawn it."

Du Wanchun looked at the ordinary-looking pen and was very surprised.

I didn't expect Zhou Ruiyuan to have such a valuable pen in his hand.

Mrs. Zhou strode to his side and said in surprise, "Ruiyuan, you have been carrying this pen with you since you were a child. It is as precious as your lifeblood. How can you just pawn it like this!"

Zhou Ruiyuan has kept this pen with him all the time. In addition to the affection he has carried with him since he was a child, it also represents his final stubbornness to his identity.

But now, he has decided to pawn it. However, he is not abandoning his obsession with the past, but he believes that his wife will definitely help him redeem this pen.

This kind of trust is incomprehensible to others.

Just like he believed that he would be able to return to that place sooner or later.

"Mother, just like Wanchun said, redeem it after you earn money." Zhou Ruiyuan raised his eyes and slowly looked at Du Wanchun.

Aunt Zhou sighed, "Since you have figured it out,

Then mother will try and see how much money this pen can get. "

"I'll go." Du Wanchun came forward and took the pen in her hand, "Mother, I'll go and pawn it. I'll take it to the county tomorrow."

She knew that her husband was reluctant to part with the pen, otherwise he would not have pawned it even though he was so poor.

If Aunt Zhou or Zhou Ruiyuan went this time, it would definitely be pawned.

But if it was her, there would still be a chance.

Aunt Zhou said embarrassedly: "Wanchun, how can I let you go alone? I'll go with you."

Du Wanchun glanced outside the house and said: "Mother, you and your husband will wait for me at home tomorrow, I'll go and come back quickly. "

Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to refuse, but Du Wanchun insisted, so the family agreed.

After Du Wanchun pawned the pen, he used the silver to buy a large boiler and bottles for making perfumed dew, and then took the finished perfumed dew to the county to sell.

The next morning, just after dawn, Du Wanchun borrowed Aunt Wang's carriage and rushed to Cheng'an County.

Because it was early in the morning in Cheng'an County, there were not as many people on the streets as last time.

Du Wanchun took the pen and looked at the shops along the way, and finally stopped in front of a pawnshop.

After seeing the pen Du Wanchun took out, the pawnshop owner shook his head and said, "This pen won't be worth much silver."
