The road from Yunjiazhuang to the county seat was winding and bumpy, and it took nearly an hour to get there.

Yun Chu frowned tiredly. Her body had been pampered since she was a child. She had to ride a horse-drawn carriage when going out. She never used her feet in the provincial capital. It was normal to call for a rickshaw. After walking for an hour, the soles of her feet hurt terribly.

In this era, what ordinary people strive for is physical and mental quality. As she is now, she is not up to par.

Although Song Guiying was anxious, she still noticed that something was wrong with Yunchu You, and asked with a worried look: "Chu You?"

Yun Chu stretched his eyebrows again, shook his head and said: "It's okay, mother, it's already dark, can the drug store open?"

Song Guiying didn't have any worries at all. She said as she walked: "It's okay. Let's just knock on the door. Business is not good these days. Even if we come to the door in the middle of the night, the doctor will take over the job. It's the cost of the medicine..."

Her face was full of melancholy, and she was worried, fearing that these two oceans would not be enough to pay for the doctor's medicine.

Yun Chu saw the worry in Song Guiying's eyes again, but she had no control over what happened next.

"Mom, you and fourth brother go find the doctor. I'll go to the pawn shop." Yunchu took out the winter skirt in his arms and waved it in front of her eyes, indicating his true purpose of following him.

Although she already has some plans for the future in her mind, the most important thing right now is the food issue.

Song Guiying frowned and showed hesitation: "Why don't you let your fourth brother follow you? Mother will feel more at ease."

Yun Chu was about to refuse again when he suddenly heard Yun Yonggui volunteering: "Let's go, I'll follow you. Mother, be careful. If something happens, just shout loudly. This street is not long. I'm sure I can hear it!”

"Hey, you go ahead." Song Guiying breathed a sigh of relief. After watching the two of them walk away, she grabbed Dayang and knocked on the door of the drug store.

Although Yunchu had seen a lot of the streets of Kyushu on the Internet, this was his first time walking around in their own shoes.

It was completely dark, and the various shops lined up on both sides of the street were all closed.

She thought the street would be very cold, but what she didn't expect was that the corner of the shop door was crowded with drowsy young and middle-aged men wearing tattered short coats. They were wrapped in quilts and looked like beggars. .

After she took a second look, Yun Yonggui said coldly: "They are all from nearby villages who came to the city to look for work."

Yun Chu looked back at him again. This Yun Yonggui was a sharp-tongued person.

However, sometimes this is not a good thing. Thinking of what he will do on the way to escape in the future, he is a little uninterested.

She naturally knows the purpose of these people. There are frequent wars and drought in Guangliang Province. Ordinary people have no land and have no choice but to go to the city to find work. But at this time, except for grain stores, business is not easy to do, and there are few workstations. If there are many, there will naturally be competition.

They came here all night just to be seen by the shopkeeper when the shop opens the next day. As long as they are lucky and get a day's salary from working, the mother-in-law and children at home can survive for a few more days.

Yun Chu and Yun Yonggui walked by again. Many people who hadn't slept looked up, their eyes filled with a little greed. However, when they saw the rags and rags similar to theirs on the two people, they felt helpless. lowered his head.

Yunchu was a military doctor in his previous life and was very sensitive to people's gaze.

She noticed the passion and greed in the eyes of passers-by, and her heart shuddered slightly. She consciously lifted her winter skirt to cover her fair and plump face. Although she hadn't looked in the mirror yet, she knew that her face was perfect. Rich people who eat and drink.

Although it is not yet time to escape, the dangers of human nature have already been revealed.

Fortunately, the pawn shop arrived quickly.

This is a shop called "Qing Feng Dang". There is a sign hanging at the door with the traditional Chinese character "Dang" written on it.

Yunchu stepped forward and patted the closed door of the pawn shop. Soon, an impatient voice came from inside: "It's closed. Come back tomorrow morning."

Yun Yonggui's face fell and he sighed. He was also afraid that the medicine would not be enough, so he volunteered to bring people to the pawn shop.

Of course, he would not admit that the pride and vanity that filled his heart when he heard the eldest daughter of the former Yunbao family call "fourth brother" were also the triggers.

"Shopkeeper, we are here from Yunjiazhuang. You see, it is not easy to walk all the way. Can you be accommodating?" Yun Chu also spoke sincerely, with the girl's unique clear voice, very Nice to hear.

Yun Yonggui glanced at her in surprise, a trace of discomfort flashed across his face.

This eldest lady used to always speak condescendingly. When did she ever become so soft-spoken?

Suddenly, he curled his lips slightly, thinking about it, now she is no longer Baozhang Yun's daughter, and she will have to ask for help when speaking and doing things in the future, but she lives a clear life, and does not bring over all the bad habits from before.

Yun Chu didn't know the many thoughts in Yun Yonggui's heart. As she finished speaking, soon, the door of the pawn shop opened a crack, and a head emerged from the inside. He looked at her and said, "Come in."

Yun Chu nodded again and entered the pawn shop with Yun Yonggui.

"What kind of business are you so anxious about?" The pawnshop owner is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He is dressed in a long cotton coat. He is obviously much more sophisticated than them in dress. Even so, you can see the slightness on his face. worries.

In troubled times, people's livelihood is very difficult.

Yunchu handed over the winter skirt in his hand again and said softly: "Shopkeeper, take a look at this set of clothes. I bought them from Kang Le Department Store in the provincial capital. It cost 12 silver dollars and has only been worn twice. There is no damage. .”

The pawn shop owner glanced at her, took the winter skirt and inspected it carefully: "It is indeed a fashionable style in the provincial capital."

He thought for a while and said: "Miss, you also know that the world is in a recession now. Even if I take your clothes, I won't be able to sell them for a good price. Let's do this. Three yuan. If you think it's suitable, we will make this deal." .”

Yun Yonggui's scalp went numb when he heard this. Twelve yuan for a piece of clothing was already an exaggeration. But when he heard that it cost three yuan, he frowned and shouted: "When I bought it for twelve yuan, you gave me three yuan." Block? Isn’t this intentional to deceive people?!”

Hearing this, the middle-aged shopkeeper's expression changed, and he stuffed the clothes back to Yunchu and said, "Business is about your own will. If you don't like it, I still feel like I'm at a loss. It's been all these years, and three oceans are still worth it." Too little?"

Yun Chu turned around and glanced coldly at Yun Yonggui. The latter's shoulders shook, and he turned around and scratched his head as if unintentionally.

"Shopkeeper, I've made this deal." Yunchu said happily.

When Yunchu walked out of the pawn shop, he held three pieces of money in his hand that were not yet warm. He had confidence in the future, not because he was rich, but because of the first principle of "stand up and live". Step completed.

This means that many of her ideas are feasible and there is no need to worry about locking herself into the plot.

Yun Yonggui glanced at her and whispered: "Are you a fool? You sold it for three oceans?"

Yunchu said coldly: "Mind your own business."

After saying that, she walked quickly towards the drug store, covering her face with her hands without stopping.

Yun Yonggui looked at Yun Chuyou who was walking away with an ashen complexion. He felt angry with a hint of resentment in his heart. He had indeed misjudged her. This woman was still the domineering and unknown eldest lady!
