"What's the matter?" Du Wanchun asked in confusion.

Aunt Wang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a line, "Your father has found another woman. Your stepmother makes trouble at home every day. I heard that her hair turned white overnight."

Du Wanchun was not surprised. She said slowly, "When she first found my father, she should have known that my father would betray her like he betrayed my mother."

Aunt Wang nodded, "That's the truth. This is your own thing. It's your own thing. If it's not your own thing, you have to return it after you rob it. I'm afraid your stepmother is in trouble this time."

The woman Du Dajiang found this time was Hongxiang, a woman from Yihonglou in Cheng'an County. She looked much prettier than Liu Shi, and her methods were also powerful.

After only two days at the Du family, she had already made Liu completely obedient.

Inside the Du family, Hongxiang dumped all the food on the table onto the floor.

Liu was shocked and quickly scolded her: "You bitch, why did you dump all the food I just made?!"

Hongxiang sat at the table, glanced at her, and smiled: "Sister, haven't you eaten yet? These are for you to eat!"

"You? You want me to eat the food on the floor?!" Liu was stunned.

Liu hadn't eaten for several days. Du Dajiang had been trying to drive her away these days, but she had stayed here to help Du Dajiang with farm work and cook for him.

But Hongxiang had been instigating Du Dajiang not to give her food.

Liu had made a scene, but as long as Du Dajiang made a move and beat her into submission, she didn't dare to make a scene again.

Hongxiang sneered, "Sister, this Du family can no longer accommodate you, you'd better leave."

Liu gritted her teeth and snorted, "I won't leave! I won't give this home to you, a bitch!"

Hongxiang didn't get angry when she heard her scolding herself, and kicked the food on the ground with her feet, "Then sister, just eat the delicious food on the ground."

After she finished speaking, she twisted her waist and turned away.

Liu was so angry that her face turned pale. She was so hungry that she felt distressed when she saw the food wasted on the ground.

Finally, she couldn't help it and lay on the ground and grabbed the food bit by bit with her hands to eat.

Hongxiang not only didn't let Du Dajiang give her food, but also took away all her gold and silver jewelry, and even a few decent clothes were taken away.

Now she is wearing the gray and purple cloth clothes left by Du Wanchun before, with disheveled hair and dirty face.

How glorious Liu was in the past, how embarrassed she is now.

One month later.

Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou made more than fifty bottles of fragrant dew and three hundred tower incense sticks.

The two of them took all these things to Fang's house.

This time, it was Master Fang who received them.

Master Fang was slightly stunned when he looked at Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou. He thought they were just two rough peasant women, but he didn't expect them to look so outstanding.

Especially Aunt Zhou. He always felt that Aunt Zhou looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was after thinking carefully.

Du Wanchun found that he was in a trance, and hurriedly called to him: "Master Fang, are our fragrant dew and tower incense good?"

Master Fang took it and smelled it, "Not bad, very good."

Du Wanchun smiled and said: "Then can we open our store?"

Master Fang smiled and nodded: "Well, I will have someone put the goods on the table tomorrow, and we can open it. At that time, please invite the young lady to come with us."

Du Wanchun replied: "Of course."

Not only Du Wanchun will come tomorrow, but all the Zhou family members will come.

The first time to open a store is crucial. If the business is good this time, they will be able to build a new house and live a good life soon.

When Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou went back, they bought some fine noodles and soy sauce in the county. They usually didn't dare to buy things like this.

After the two returned home, Aunt Zhou made a lot of big steamed buns with fine noodles.

Although Aunt Zhou's cooking skills are average, the steamed buns are very good, and each one is white and plump.

Du Wanchun ate three or four in a row.

When she ate the fifth one, she took two steamed buns and handed them to Zhou Ruiyuan in the room.

Zhou Ruiyuan had been preparing for the exam all this time, reading all day and all night. When he saw Du Wanchun coming, he quickly put down the pen in his hand, looked up and saw the steamed bun in her hand, and smiled softly: "I'm not hungry, you eat more."

Du Wanchun stuffed the steamed bun into his hand, "Eat it even if you're not hungry."

Zhou Ruiyuan took it in his hand, stared at it for a long time, and was reluctant to eat it.

Du Wanchun sat at his table and said with a smile: "Husband, my mother and I bought a lot of noodles here, you can eat without worry."

Zhou Ruiyuan took it in his hand and broke it into two halves, holding one half in his own hand.

The other half was given to Du Wanchun.

Du Wanchun looked at that half of the steamed bun and immediately understood that he was reluctant to eat it, not because he was afraid that he would not have it in the future, but because he was afraid that she would not have enough to eat.

She was very touched, took that half of the steamed bun, and said with a smile: "I will eat it with you."

Zhou Ruiyuan saw her eat it, and then he bit the other half of the steamed bun in his hand.

Aunt Zhou outside the house saw the two of them eating affectionately, and she smiled slowly on her face, and she was happier than eating the steamed buns.

The next day.

The Zhou family arrived in Cheng'an County early.

When they arrived at the shop, Fang's clerk was already there, named Xiao Dingzi.

Xiao Dingzi looked very honest and dutiful. When he saw Du Wanchun, he quickly called out, "Shopkeeper."

Du Wanchun was a little flattered. She pointed at Zhou Feng behind her and said with a smile, "This is the shopkeeper."

Zhou Feng walked up slowly. He was wearing a dark blue gown today, and he looked much more energetic than usual. At first glance, it was hard to tell which family he was from.

Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Zhao were also wearing new clothes.

People around thought that some wealthy family had opened a shop here.

Xiao Dingzi quickly welcomed them in, "The incense and tower incense are ready, just waiting for customers to come."

Du Wanchun looked into the shop. The shop where the incense was placed was not very big, but it was enough.

Not long after, the shop opened for customers. It was Miss Zheng Er. She walked in with a smile and said, "Mrs. Fang really didn't lie. She really opened an incense shop."

Du Wanchun recognized her and smiled and greeted her, "Miss Er."

Miss Zheng Er looked around the shop and said slowly, "Your incense shop is good, but it's a little lacking."

Du Wanchun asked, "What's lacking?"
