Chengchun slowly raised his head, and Hongdou also raised the oil-paper umbrella in her hand. She looked at the little woman in front of her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Qian!"
The little woman was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Cheng Chun for a long time before she suddenly reacted: "Ah Chun?"
Cheng Chun smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am Ah Chun!"
At that time, Chengchun was defiled by someone who broke into the drug store. No one on the street knew about it. Later, they heard that she had hanged herself because of the thought. If she hadn't been discovered early, she would have died.
The wife of the Qian family knew Chengchun before they got married. At that time, they were both girls, chatting and laughing happily. Later, she got married. Not long after, something happened to Chengchun. I heard that she hanged herself.
, she still cried at home for a long time.
The wife of the Qian family grabbed Cheng Chun's hand and looked at it carefully from top to bottom: "It's really Ah Chun. How are you doing now?"
She also knew that Chengchun was forced to marry as a concubine, although she was unwilling to do so. After all, such a good girl deserved to marry a good family and have a peaceful and happy life. But at that juncture, Chengchun had no choice but to marry.
There is no better way. Marrying someone as a concubine is better than wearing a piece of white silk to keep one's chastity!
"The fifth master treats me very well. I don't have to worry about food and clothing!" Cheng Chun looked at the Qian family's wife and said softly.
Cheng Chun said it nicely, but Mrs. Qian still saw the bruises on her wrists. She glanced at the red beans beside her, thought about it, and finally just patted her hand with a wry smile: "That's okay, that's okay.
Okay, marry a man, marry a man, get dressed and eat!"
The wife of the Qian family really wanted to reminisce with Cheng Chun, but she was afraid of making Cheng Chun's family unhappy, so she didn't say anything, just laughed with her, and put the rouge box she had chosen into Cheng Chun's hand: "
When you got married, I couldn't give you any extra money, so this is not worth a lot of money to you, just treat it as a piece of my heart!"
Chengchun quickly shook his head: "You can't do it, you can't do it!"
"Shopkeeper, Rouge, our wife has accepted it, but you have to accept the money too!" Hongdou on the side said quickly, "My wife is so thin-skinned, how can I ask for your things for nothing? When I go out, my house
I also told you that as long as the lady likes it, no matter how much money it is, our lady will accept it according to the shopkeeper's wishes, but the money must also be collected!"
When Hongdou spoke, she smiled and looked friendly, but there was still a bit of seriousness in her words. Although the Qian family's wife has been doing business outside and is a shrewd one, she is an ordinary citizen. Who dares to offend a wealthy family?
, and could only laugh along: "Yes, yes, I think your father is also kind to Ah Chun!"
"Fifth Master treats me well. My sister-in-law has worked so hard to make these rouges. How can I get one for nothing?" Cheng Chun said, going to get his own money.
Hong Dou, with quick eyes and quick hands, quickly took out the money bag from her arms and gave her a piece of silver: From now on, our wife’s rouge and gouache will be left to the shopkeeper, so we can have more of the latest rouge!”
The wife of the Qian family accepted the money and had no choice but to agree with a smile.
Chengchun couldn't say anything more and turned around to leave.
As soon as Cheng Chun left, Mrs. Qian couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity for such a good girl!"
The aunt on the side had already been very curious. Finally, when Chengchun was far away, she quickly came over and said, "Is that Chengchun from Chengjiazhuang?"
Mrs. Qian nodded: "Yes!"
The aunt's face was full of surprise: "I don't even dare to recognize it. I thought this girl was very good-looking before. She is not the same as my mother. She doesn't even look like a mud-legged girl from the country. Look at her now. She is wearing gold and silver.
Yes, it’s even more beautiful!”
Mrs. Qian's wife said nothing.
Nowadays, Chengchun seems to be rich, well-dressed, well-fed, and has someone to accompany her and hold an umbrella when she goes out, but she can no longer see the smile in Chengchun's eyes. In the past, although Chengchun was nothing
He doesn't have money, nor is he rich, but he always smiles with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and his smile touches people's hearts!
But now, although she is smiling, her eyes are no longer as lively as before.
Seeing the worried look on Mrs. Qian's face, the aunt stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "Look at Cheng Chun's appearance, she is a lucky person. Although she suffered a lot, fortunately the other party was willing to take care of her and didn't yell.
People are forced to die. In this world, if you can survive other than those things, it is already a great blessing!"
"Who says it's not the case!" Mrs. Qian's wife nodded, then lowered her head and fiddled with her stall, saying nothing else.
"Madam and the shopkeeper just now seem to know each other very well!" Hong Dou asked with a smile as she walked.
"When Sister-in-law Qian was not married, she often bought medicinal materials in our shop to make rouge gouache. At that time, we got along quite well. She had a fierce temper, but she was a good person. When I was bullied, she
Always stand up for me!" Cheng Chun recalled the past events with a bit of a smile on his face.
Hongdou nodded and then kept this matter in mind.
Most of the people on this street knew Cheng Chun, but now, she wore her hair in a lady's bun, and her whole body revealed a sense of nobility, which made them dare not come forward to talk, so they just spoke from a distance.
Look.
On the other hand, the lady in charge of the medicine shop ran over from afar after hearing the news about Chengchun.
"Ah Chun!" The shopkeeper's wife stood not far away and looked at Cheng Chun for a long time before slowly stepping forward.
"It's from the shopkeeper!" Cheng Chun walked to the shopkeeper's wife.
The shopkeeper's wife was like a mother looking at her daughter, her eyes full of distress. She reached out and touched Cheng Chun's face: "Why have you lost so much weight?"
"The weather has been bad recently and it's very humid. I don't like to eat very much, so I've lost some weight!" Cheng Chun looked at the shopkeeper's wife with affection in his eyes.
The shopkeeper's wife glanced at Hongdou, then pulled Chengchun aside: "You, how are you doing now?"
Chengchun nodded: "Master Wu is a good man!"
The shopkeeper's wife is still brooding over the fact that Cheng Chun was bullied. When she found out that Cheng Chun hanged herself, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep all night long. She always thought about what would happen if she didn't go home one day.
If you live in a shop, things like that won't happen.
The shopkeeper's wife only knew that Chengchun was married and became a concubine, and she didn't know who the fifth master was. She just felt very distressed. She had been in business for many years, so what about the intrigues in the big house?
have no idea.
Cheng Chun has such a delicate and non-competitive character, how can she have good fruits in a house like that? She felt sad, but she couldn't explain it. She just said: "You take good care of yourself and wait until you have a child."
, you will have support, you are blessed, and you will have a good life in the future!"
