However, in just half a month, Zhang Li went to the pawnshop several times, and there was not much left of Mianniang's box of jewelry.

Mianniang herself is also anxious, Zhang Li has gone to Chunfeng Lou too many times, once it is twelve taels of silver, relying on pawnshops to live, where can I go.

But Zhang Li himself knew, but as long as he had silver, he couldn't help but go, if there was no silver, he knew that there were still jewelry at home, and he still couldn't help but go.

Zhang Li's life is happy, except for occasionally coming back for a meal, the rest of the time is mixed in Chunfeng Building, he doesn't know what is powerful, and he treats Mianniang's box as a treasure chest.

"I don't have any silver, you go and get some more jewelry, I'll sell it for silver." Zhang Li said unceremoniously.

Mianniang didn't move, just lowered her head and froze in place.

"Go! What a daze here. Zhang Li roared.

"There are no more jewelry at home...... Mianniang said in a low voice.

"How is that possible! It's not even a month! Zhang Li shouted in disbelief.

"It's not much, my husband has already taken it four times, and one time is three, I ...... That's all my mother has given me......"

How could ordinary people have so much jewelry, her mother has been busy all her life, so she earned some silver, and when she got married, she bought all the silver jewelry, plus some old objects from before, all of which were given to her.

But there were also more than a dozen pieces of jewelry in that box, including gold and silver, and two jade pendants.

It's only been a month, Zhang Li went to the pawnshop four times, and this time he took a few pieces, no matter how much jewelry he had, he didn't use it like this, so it was empty now.

"Impossible, you go, you take me to see, aren't you lying to me? Your mother is such a famous embroiderer, and she has earned so much silver in her life? Or are you still hiding it, and you don't plan to let me know! Zhang Li said fiercely.

"It's really gone, I, my mother has worked so hard all her life, how much money can she earn as a woman...... It's my unfilial piety...... I sold all these things...... Mianniang cried.

Zhang Li's eyes were red, where did he believe that there was nothing left at home, he ran to the house like crazy, just rummaged through, but unfortunately the box was indeed found, but it was empty.

"No...... There really isn't ......" Zhang Li fell to the ground, muttering to himself like a madman.

Mianniang was crying loudly over there, and she suddenly thought of what her mother said, if you pawn a piece of jewelry, then the last one must be gone, but if you don't need to pawn, then those things will not be missing......

Zhang Li ran back in a collapsed manner, looked at Mianniang, and suddenly pulled her tightly.

"Is there anything else? Did your mother leave you with anything to return to? You give it to me! You give it all to me! "

Mianniang cried and shook her head, she was not a rich family in the first place, how could she have so many belongings.

Zhang Li still has a little surplus silver on his body, which he secretly hid last time, and it was only enough to go to Chunfeng Tower for the last time.

He was thinking that he couldn't give up Yan'er, he had to take advantage of the last time to secretly take Yan'er away, they were in love, and Yan'er would definitely agree to him!

He tried to calm down, and before he was ready to go to Chunfeng Tower, he had all the things to escape, in fact, it was not difficult for Yan'er to come out, but it was difficult for them to run out.

They have to run far away, and then they start again, he will definitely do a good job, and then he will definitely make Yan'er live a good life.

Mianniang suddenly found that Zhang Li didn't seem to be so crazy anymore, and he looked no different from usual.

Zhang Li bought a donkey cart and secretly kept it at the farmer's house, he planned to take Yan'er out secretly, and then they went to the farmer's place, dressed up in disguise, and then went out!

You don't need a guide to go out, but if they go to other places, they have to ask for identity certificates, he has them, but Yan'er is not a good person, so she definitely doesn't.

But he had already planned to take Mianniang's identity credentials, anyway, Mianniang would never leave this town in her life, and she didn't need that.

As for what happened to her in the future, he felt that he had done his duty. This house is left to the two of them, and now that Jin'er is also older, it is still okay to go out and earn money to support their mothers, Mianniang will not be able to see it in the future, and the laundry and cooking will also be done.

Even if he wasn't there, they would be alive and well. As for Mianniang's affection for him, he can only live up to it, he has no love for Mianniang, he and Yan'er are truly happy.

Everything was ready, Zhang Li suddenly found out when he was packing up his clothes that he had the most clothes in the family, and he added new clothes every year, but Mianniang didn't seem to have new clothes for several years......

Most of Mianniang's clothes are plain colors, and most of his clothes look very valuable, good clothes, Mianniang will also embroider patterns on them, this processing, it doesn't look ordinary.

It's been a long time, and Zhang Li actually felt guilty when he was about to leave.

He always knew that Mianniang loved him very much and had always been very good to him, but at this moment he suddenly had some conscience and found that after so many years, Mianniang really did a good job......

He secretly packed up his clothes, and he also secretly brought them over several times, he was afraid of attracting the attention of others, and he was also afraid that Mianniang would find out.

Mianniang went out, she went to the street to buy some vegetables and came back, and when she came back, she found that Zhang Li seemed to be extraordinarily gentle today.

In fact, Zhang Li was originally a reader, although he didn't read well, but he also had some bookish anger, and when he only smiled slightly and didn't speak, he still looked very gentle.

"Husband......" Mianniang couldn't help shouting.

"Mianniang is back, come on, grind for me, I haven't painted for a long time, how about painting a picture for you today?" Zhang Li asked gently.

Mianniang hadn't seen Zhang Li with this appearance for too long, so she was stunned in place, and as Zhang Li beckoned to her, she just walked over.

"We haven't been like this for a long time, you grind, I'll paint." Zhang Li said softly.

In the past, when they also had red sleeves and fragrance, when they first got married, they were also affectionate, she would look at him shyly and timidly, grinding obediently on the side, he wrote a good poem, she would look at him with admiration......

Mianniang couldn't see clearly, only grinding and staring at Zhang Li.

Zhang Li didn't stop it, and looked at Mianniang, he hadn't looked at Mianniang carefully for more than ten years.

When he married her, it was because she loved him so much, he was very attracted to such a gaze, plus Mianniang's family had some money, and she could embroider herself, a very virtuous woman.

And when he saw her for the first time, he found out that Mianniang is also an excellent girl, like an ordinary Jiangnan woman, her facial features are delicate and small, coupled with her gentle and shy temperament, she is somewhat attractive.

Now that more than ten years have passed, when he looked at her carefully, he found that she was no longer young, with faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her face was also pale, and her brows were wrinkled, which should be because she frowned often.

Zhang Li sighed slightly in his heart, Mianniang was no longer young, and unconsciously, she had been married to him for more than ten years.

"Don't look at me, husband, Mianniang knows that she has aged her face...... It's unbearable......" Mianniang said ashamedly.

She is only thirty-one years old this year, but when she looks in the mirror every day, she knows that she is no longer young, and her appearance is even older than her real age......

His husband hasn't looked at her for a long time, the girl he likes is young and beautiful, she didn't look at it and knew it, how could the top brand of Chunfeng Building be not good-looking, I'm afraid that she is a woman with a beautiful country.

In comparison, she was even more unsightly, and now that Zhang Li looked at her, she didn't feel shy, she only felt nervous and guilty.

"Mianniang's face is still the same, you don't have to be inferior, when I draw you, you will know."

Zhang Li comforted him before he began to write, although he was not good at reading, but in painting, it was really good, and a portrait could also be painted with eight points similar.

"Mianniang, look, how did I draw?"

Zhang Li put down the pen, looked at the Mianniang on the painting, and felt a little satisfied, although he hadn't started writing for a long time, but he hadn't done it yet.

"The husband painted well, and he painted Mianniang younger...... Mianniang said with a blushing face.

Zhang Li comforted her again, and made Mianniang's face flush.

At dinner, Jin'er found out that this person seemed to be normal today, which made her feel abnormal, like returning to the situation when she was a child.

"Jin'er has grown into a big girl unconsciously, and now in two or three years, she can also make a family, and life flies so fast!" Zhang Li said with emotion.

In fact, he doesn't have the idea of patriarchy, it's just that he simply doesn't like children very much, when Jin'er was born, it was the worst time for their family.

Mianniang didn't embroider much from pregnancy to giving birth to Jin'er, there was no money at home, and life was poor, so he didn't like the child at the beginning.

But after all, it is his child, Jin'er was born good-looking again, and when he was older, he really liked it for a while, and he thought about it in his heart and teased him for a while.

Later, when she got older, he liked it a lot, and would often take her to play, and it was still a happy scene at that time.

Later, it slowly changed, this girl was spoiled, and she sneered at his father, which really didn't like it.

Later, something happened again, and he really didn't like this girl. But when it was time to leave, he also had a lot of feelings, after all, it was his daughter, and he was better to her.

"You think too much, I don't want to get married." Jin'er said politely.

Zhang Li paused for a moment, a little depressed, this girl is still like this, not likable at all!

"Not married? Girls are going to get married when they grow up, what nonsense are you talking about! Zhang Li said with a frown.

"I didn't say any nonsense, I made my own decisions, and it was useless for anyone to say it, so I didn't want to get married, what should I do when I marry? Like a mother, busy every day, and then raising a family? Scold! Jin'er scoffed.

Zhang Li was depressed for a while, and he really had to hold back his temper and beat up this stinky girl, but thinking that he was about to leave, he wouldn't have to make such a fuss in the end.

He tried hard to suppress his temper, ate two mouthfuls of food, and then gave up arguing with Jin'er, and said a few words to Mianniang.

"For so many years, it is because the husband is incompetent, not to mention that he has not let Mianniang live a good life, and how have you worked hard for many years, I am really guilty in my heart, and now I use tea instead of wine, I toast Mianniang with a cup." Zhang Li said.

"It's not hard, I don't feel hard."

Mianniang hurriedly raised her glass and drank a cup of tea with Zhang Li. Her tears are about to fall, after so many years, she is really tired, but now with his hard work, she also feels that it is worth it.

"Hypocrisy!" Jin'er whispered.

Mianniang glanced at Jin'er and hinted that she should not say that again.

"I'm full, I'm out, you guys eat slowly!" Jin'er said coldly.

She felt very fake, but seeing her mother so happy, she didn't say much, but she could choose to come out by herself, lest she couldn't help interrupting them again.

Mianniang is like living in a dream this day, her husband is so gentle with her, it seems that what she does, Zhang Li looks at her gently, she really feels that this is a dream.

It's just that this dream has to go on forever, she is willing to indulge in it and never wants to wake up.

But as soon as he finished eating at noon the next day, Zhang Li was leaving.

"Where is the husband going?" Mianniang looked at Zhang Li with blank eyes.

Her husband doesn't have any money on him, so where can he go at this time? She wouldn't have asked before, and she didn't dare to ask, but yesterday he was too kind to her, too gentle, so that she couldn't help but let herself go back.

"If you don't go anywhere, just go out for a walk, it's not good to be bored at home all the time." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"I ...... I want to go with my husband......" Mianniang pleaded in a low voice.

I don't know why, she always feels a little uncomfortable in her heart, she doesn't feel like leaving Zhang Li's side at all.

"What does Mianniang mean? Don't you believe me? I just want to go out for a walk, isn't that okay? Zhang Li asked.

"No, that's not what I meant...... I...... I just ......" Mianniang stirred the hem of her clothes, a little unsure of how to explain.

"Okay, I'll go shopping, you stay at home, your eyes are not good, you need to rest more." Zhang Li persuaded.

"Good ......"

In desperation, Mianniang could only agree. She was used to obeying Zhang Li's words, and now he was unwilling to let her follow, and she couldn't do anything.

Zhang Li smiled, then glanced at Mianniang, then turned around and walked outside, Jin'er was not at home, Zhang Li also felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't see her last time before leaving.

Mianniang stayed where she was and looked at the back of Zhang Li walking out, her eyes were not good, and she seemed to be able to only see one back, she didn't know why, she was a little panicked in her heart.

"Husband!" Mianniang shouted.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Li turned around and asked.

"You come back early, it's cold outside at night...... Mianniang advised.

"Got it."

Zhang Li agreed and walked out of the house.
