The money was so expensive that it was not worth it.

"How much is it?" Du Wanchun asked.

The pawnshop owner held out five fingers.

Du Wanchun said, "Five taels of silver?"

The pawnshop owner shook his head, "Fifty wen."

"Fifty wen?!" Although Du Wanchun rarely saw pens made of ivory, she knew that ivory was precious, so it wouldn't be fifty wen.

She quickly took the pen back and said, "Fifty wen is too little."

The pawnshop owner said again, "How about a hundred wen?"

Du Wanchun still shook her head. She looked at the pen in her hand and suddenly remembered the way Zhou Ruiyuan taught her to write that night.

Seeing her silence, the pawnshop owner asked, "How about 500 wen? Do you want to pawn it?"

Du Wanchun suddenly came back to her senses and put the pen tightly in her arms, "No, I won't pawn it."

The pawnshop owner frowned, "Little girl, you can't be too greedy. You can only pawn 500 wen, no more."

Du Wanchun looked up at him and said firmly, "I won't pawn it even if it's 500 taels."

She turned around and ran out of the pawnshop with the pen.

Coincidentally, as soon as Du Wanchun went out, she met Aunt He, who worked as a kitchen helper in County Magistrate Li's house.

Aunt He was very happy to see Du Wanchun and said, "Wanchun, why are you here?!"

Du Wanchun glanced at the pawnshop behind her, smiled, and said, "Aunt, I came to the county today to buy some things for my husband."

Aunt He stepped forward and pulled her and said with a smile, "Wanchun, do you still have those little radishes at home?"

Du Wanchun was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "There are still some at home."

Aunt He hurriedly said, "Can you sell me some more?"

Du Wanchun was surprised and said, "Aunt, do you still want to buy radishes?"

Aunt He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I bought radishes from your family last time, and County Magistrate Li and Mrs. Li liked them very much. Not only did they eat them, they also asked me to make some and send them to the Fang family. The old man of the Fang family also likes to eat your radishes, so I'm asking you to buy some more."

The Fang family is a famous wealthy businessman in Cheng'an County. They did business in the capital in their early years. Later, they made a lot of money and handed over the family property to their sons and took their wives back to their hometown to live in retirement.

Du Wanchun was very happy, "Really? How many radishes does Mr. Fang want?"

Aunt He thought for a while and said, "Just the same amount as last time, so that they won't spoil if they buy too much at home. If they need more in the future, I'll buy more from you."

Du Wanchun nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back and pick radishes for you now."

Aunt He looked up at the carriage behind her and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the backyard of the Li Mansion."

"Okay, Aunt." Du Wanchun thought that the Li family hadn't eaten all the radishes last time, but she didn't expect that not only did they want more, but even the wealthy Fang family wanted to buy more.

If these two old employers were always there, then the Zhou family would have a way out.

Aunt He took out a bag of copper coins from her pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Wanchun, take these as a deposit for the radish first. I'll give you the rest after you deliver it to my house."

Du Wanchun weighed it in her hand and found it was about a hundred coins. "Thank you, auntie."

After she took the silver and said goodbye to Aunt He, she drove the carriage and rushed home immediately.

When Aunt Zhou saw her coming back, she hurried forward and said, "Wanchun, how much silver did you get?"

Du Wanchun took out the purse and put it in Aunt Zhou's hand.

Aunt Zhou opened it and saw, "Oh, there are a hundred coins!"

At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan pushed the chair and slowly came out of the house.

Du Wanchun stood in front of him, a ray of dazzling sunlight fell, she raised the corners of her lips, revealing her two small dimples, and spread her hands with a smile.

In his hand was his pen.

Zhou Ruiyuan was startled, looking at her eyes full of stars, and slowly stood up.

He walked towards Du Wanchun step by step, not as shaky as at the beginning, and his steps were much more stable than before.

Du Wanchun hurriedly took a few steps forward, trying to support him.

Who knew that Zhou Ruiyuan suddenly reached out and hugged her in his arms.

His arms were very warm, with a faint fragrance belonging to him.

Du Wanchun was in his arms, listening to his pounding heart, and reached out to hug him, "Husband... your pen... I didn't pawn it..."

Aunt Zhou on the side heard it and was surprised: "Wanchun, you didn't pawn your pen! Then where did this copper coin come from?!"

"Wanchun..." Aunt Zhou hadn't finished her words yet, and she looked up and saw the two of them hugging each other

In order not to disturb them, he quickly turned around and went into the house.
