Chunxiu was able to get down the aisle after recuperating in bed for a few days. Mrs. Wang saw that Chunxiu's body was recovering well, and asked about her life experience when she visited Chunxiu. When Chunxiu told what happened, the soft-hearted Mrs. Wang was sad and shed tears, and she decided to leave the hard-working Chunxiu. She said to Chunxiu: "You are pregnant now, it is important to keep the child, you can no longer beg outside every day with a belly, you will stay at my house in the future, and do some chores in the kitchen first." On the surface, our family is still a big family, but in fact, the business has not been as good as before in recent years, but leaving you is just an extra pair of chopsticks to eat, but I can't give you too much wages. ”

"Thank you for your great kindness and saving the lives of our mother and son. I don't want to be paid, as long as I have food and a place to live. Chunxiu knelt in front of Mrs. Su and thanked her for her kindness.

Mrs. Su hurriedly helped her up and said: "I am a person who believes in Buddhism, and the Buddha said: Saving one life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that I saved two lives, I have accumulated great virtue!" Don't thank me, if you want to thank the Buddha. ”

It didn't take long for Chunxiu's body to recover, and she went down to the kitchen to help. Chunxiu is diligent, easy-going and practical, and gets along well with everyone. At first, Chunxiu worked in the kitchen to do some chores within her ability, and then the cook asked for leave when she had something to do at home, so she took charge of the stove with her stomach up, and used all the skills she saw and learned in Juxian Building. Chunxiu's meals are authentic and delicious, very good for the owner's taste, the owner named her to eat the Shandong food she made, and he didn't let others take charge of it.

The male owner of this house, Boss Su, whose ancestral home is Anguo, Hebei, specializes in the trading of Chinese herbal medicines and has opened several pharmacies in Beiping City. Boss Su is in his fifties, kind-eyed, easy-going, not only can do business but is also a gourmet, and he has eaten all the well-known restaurants in the city. Boss Su, who is very particular about eating, is full of praise for the dishes made by Chunxiu, saying that it does not lose the taste of a big restaurant, and will give Chunxiu an extra reward every month. Boss Su once joked to Chunxiu: If Chunxiu leaves the Su family, he would rather stop eating.

Chunxiu gave birth to a son within a few months after arriving at the Su family, this child looks white and clean, and his nose and eyes are very similar to Cui Fengming.

As soon as Chunxiu's child passed the full moon, Mrs. Su called Chunxiu to her room and said that there was something to discuss. Mrs. Su closed the door, let Chunxiu sit on the Taishi chair where she often sits, poured her a cup of tea with her own hands, and then took out a gold bracelet and a silver longevity lock with a smile and put them in Chunxiu's hand and said, "A little meaning, take it." ”

Chunxiu didn't know why Mrs. Su did this, she was flattered and put these things back in front of Mrs. Su: "Madam, what are you doing here?" ”

Mrs. Su said; "Chunxiu, you just take these things, this longevity lock is for children, and you put a picture on him when you turn around. This gold bracelet is given to you by the master, he sees that you are very diligent, and especially loves to eat the Shandong food you make, during your confinement he always said that the food has no taste, he wants you to stay here for a long time, so I asked me to give this to you, it is a reward for you!"

Chunxiu felt strange and asked: "Madam, I am a helpless person, I work in your house, I can still get paid for food and housing, I am already very satisfied, why do you still give me this thing?" ”

Mrs. Su just lowered her head to drink tea as if she hadn't heard Chunxiu's words, and after a while, she put down the teacup and sighed and said, "Chunxiu, I'll tell you the truth!" I saved you because you were a pregnant woman, and if you weren't pregnant, I wouldn't have kept you after I saved you, do you want to know why? ”

Chunxiu looked at Mrs. Su curiously, she nodded and said she wanted to know.

"I married my husband when I was sixteen, and I have been married for more than 40 years but have never given him a child. My lord loved me very much, he never complained about me, he said to me: Not being able to have children is not necessarily a woman's business. But I always felt sorry for him in my heart, and I felt that I was a hen that couldn't lay eggs. If the old man had married another woman, he might have had a group of children long ago. Now that the master is almost sixty years old, no one takes the business in his hand, and there is no successor to the family's incense, I am afraid that the evening will be bleak! Mrs. Su said as tears fell like beads with broken threads.

Chunxiu saw Mrs. Su crying, and she also felt a little sour in her heart.

Mrs. Su continued: "Actually, when I rescued you that day, I also had a little calculation in my heart, I saw that you were a pregnant woman and helpless, and even if you gave birth to a child in the future, you would not be able to support it, so I took you in, and if you gave birth to a boy, I persuaded you to pass the child to the master, and then give you some money to send you away." It's easy to do and there's no hassle in the future. ”

Chunxiu was anxious when she heard this, and she said to Mrs. Su: "Madam, this child is my life, and my life will be gone without him!" ”

Mrs. Su made a don't be anxious gesture to Chunxiu and said, "Chunxiu, my lord and I don't have the idea of separating you from the child!" These days, the lord saw that you were simple, kind-hearted, good-looking, and helpless, so he moved his heart to marry you as the wife of the second room. If you become a member of the Su family, your child will naturally pass on to the Su family, which will be beneficial to you and the child, and your mother will be much more stable in the future. Do you think that's good? ”

Mrs. Su's words are difficult for Chunxiu to answer, Chunxiu gave birth to a child, and she can't go back to her home in Shandong. This child is Cui Fengming's, Chunxiu wants to raise this child to be an adult and let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in the future, but Cui Fengming has no news now, and it is unknown whether they can meet again in this life and this life. Chunxiu bowed her head and said nothing.

Mrs. Su thought that Chunxiu was a little moved, and she said softly: "Sister Chunxiu, the master and I are both honest and law-abiding businessmen, the master is familiar with the four books and the five classics, I am a good person who must follow the three virtues and four virtues in words and deeds, and I will never treat you and my children badly in the future." Besides, you are still young and we are all old, and sooner or later you will be in charge of the family's business, and your children will be able to inherit the family business. Of course, it wouldn't be better if you gave birth to a son for your lord in the future! ”

Chunxiu still bowed her head and remained silent, and Mrs. Su put the gold bracelet and longevity lock in front of her again and said, "This is just a little meaning, you can accept it!" It's okay if you don't agree to this marriage. But you must still marry in the future, it is not easy to marry with a child, and you must think carefully about the future of your child. Let's talk about this first, think about it again, and if it doesn't work out, you can just tell me something. ”

"Madam, I appreciate the kindness of you and the master. I'll take this silver lock and put it on my child, but I won't take this bracelet. Chunxiu stood up and said. Mrs. Su was not reluctant, she sent Chunxiu out of the house with a smile on her face.

Half a year later, Chunxiu felt that it was difficult to see Cui Fengming in her life, she felt that Boss Su and Mrs. Su were good people, in order to have a stable home for herself and a good living environment for her children, so she married herself to Boss Su.
