"I'll go in and see what's worth." She'll have to get her purse back, and maybe the money from the past is still there.

"It's not right for you to steal without asking." Zhou Kuiruo held her tightly and didn't let go.

I just got my stuff back. Chun Tao suddenly looked behind Zhou Kuiruo in horror, "That... What is that? ”

Zhou Kuiruo immediately let go of Chun Tao's hand, turned around and protected her behind him, and as soon as Chun Tao was free, he tiptoed away in the direction of the cave.

Zhou Kuiruo looked ahead vigilantly and observed for a long time but didn't see anything. "Lady, what did you just see?"

didn't hear the sound, Zhou Kuiruo called again, but no one responded. When she turned her head, she was gone, and when she looked at the entrance of the cave, she was already standing there.

"You..." Zhou Kuiruo knew that this kind of behavior was wrong, but he was worried about Chun Tao's safety, so he could only follow.

Chun Tao rummaged through the hole, but he didn't find the purse. Strange, could it be taken away?

Chun Tao turned over their bedding and clothes again, and when Zhou Kuiruo came in, she was shaking the quilt and was grabbed by him. With a crisp thud, something fell to the ground.

Zhou Kuiruo looked at Chun Tao, then at the things on the ground, let go of Chun Tao's hand, and squatted down to pick up things. "What is this?"

Hearing Zhou Kuiruo's surprised voice, Chun Tao also paid attention to that thing. "It's not a mother... A hairpin that is often worn on the head? ”

The thing that fell on the ground was the hosta that Aunt Zhou never left every day, but now, it was broken.

"Did my mother wear a hairpin on her head yesterday?" Yesterday, Chun Tao was too anxious, and only checked whether Aunt Zhou was injured, and did not check whether there was anything missing from her.

"This is indeed my mother's hairpin, which is engraved with my mother's maiden name, which was carved by my father back then. She never leaves her. Zhou Kuiruo looked at the hairpin for a long time, and suddenly took Chun Tao's hand and put it in her palm.

Chun Tao looked at the hairpin in his hand for some reason, and then looked at Zhou Kuiruo, and saw that he was walking outside the entrance of the cave, so he hurriedly followed. While walking, I looked at the broken hairpin, and there was really a small word "Xi" engraved on the back of the hairpin, but it was crooked.

Chun Tao didn't know why Zhou Kuiruo gave the broken hairpin to himself, walked up to him and asked, "Why did you give me the hairpin?" ”

"Do you know what this hairpin means to my mother?"

Probably sustenance or something! Zhou Kuiruo didn't wait for Chun Tao to speak, and talked to himself. "It's hope, my mother is not my father's wife, not even a concubine. This hairpin is the only connection between her and the Zhou family, if the hairpin is broken, then her connection with the Zhou family will be broken, and she will no longer be a member of the Zhou family. ”

"This hairpin..."Chun Tao took out the hairpin from his arms and looked at it carefully. On weekdays, Aunt Zhou wears it on her head, and she has never been seen by anyone, but now after a careful look, she found that this hosta has been around for some years. "It's not going to be... A family heirloom of the Zhou family, right? ”

"It was passed on to his daughter-in-law, and my father secretly took it from his main room and gave it to my mother." Zhou Kuiruo turned his head to look at the broken hairpin that Chun Tao was holding in his hand.

"No wonder my mother is dizzy." has a son and a lover's love, then what a woman wants most is to be famous.

"Take it! This should have been given to you, but my mother was reluctant to do so. ”

"How can this work,..."

Chun Tao was interrupted by Zhou Kuiruo before he finished speaking. "It's better for you to keep it than for your mother to know that it's broken."

"Yes!" Chun Tao thought about the picture after Aunt Zhou knew, shook her head, and put the hairpin back in her arms. "I'll tell my mother."

"I'll go!"

This may be an opportunity for their mother and son to talk, and maybe they will return to the way they used to be. Chun Tao's eyes rolled and nodded. "Good!"

Zhou Kuiruo suddenly stretched out his hand, and Chun Tao looked at him suspiciously. "Give me your hand, the mountain road is rough, beware of falling."

"It's fine." When I went up the mountain, I didn't see me fall! Chun Tao crossed Zhou Kuiruo and walked forward, but was grabbed by his hand domineeringly.

"I think you're going slowly." Zhou Kuiruo took a big step forward and walked in front of Chun Tao, who couldn't break free of his hand, so he stopped in place.

For Chun Tao's non-cooperation, Zhou Kuiruo's solution is to grab her other hand again.

Chun Tao's left hand was led by his right hand, and his right hand was led by his left hand, dragging forward in a very strange posture.

"If I walk like this, I will fall!"

"Yes, but I'll fall with you." Zhou Kuiruo looked at her with a smile on his face, the doting in his eyes was covered by the night, and Chun Tao didn't see it.

Who's going to fall with you! There's a bunch of things to do tomorrow! "Zhou Kuiruo!"

"Call Xianggong, I'll let go!"

"Boring." Zhou Kuiruo turned his head and walked on, and after a while, he heard Chun Tao call dryly: "Xianggong." ”

Zhou Kuiruo turned his head with a smile on his face, and he had to inch in. "Call again."

"You... Thick ink, danqing. Thick Mo and Danqing immediately ran back when they heard the sound and stopped at Chun Tao's feet.

Chun Tao looked at the two beasts at her feet, and then at Zhou Kuiruo, her eyebrows raised slightly. "Let it go."

Zhou Kuiruo let go of her right hand, "It's okay now, right?" You said that you even took revenge on your brother, will one day you also take revenge on me? ”

"If you do something sorry for me, I will not let you go."

"Heh~" Zhou Kuiruo suddenly laughed.

Chun Tao turned her head to look at him, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"It's nothing, let's go home!" Two people, two wolves, make their way through the silent village and return to their peaceful home.

On the second day, after breakfast, Zhou Kuiruo and Chun Tao took Aunt Zhou into the city. Along the way, Chun Tao is trying to find some excuse to solve the money matter.

"Here we are." June's voice pulls Chun Tao back to reality.

"Thank you, Brother June!" Because Aunt Zhou was uncomfortable, Chun Tao borrowed a car from March, but March Niang heard it and asked June to send them to the county seat.

"What's this, if it weren't for Chun Tao's help, my father's feet would be afraid... Ay! What are you talking about! Hurry up and see Aunt Zhou! ”

"Okay, then we'll take our leave." Zhou Kuiruo helped Aunt Zhou to walk into Jimin Hall, and Chun Tao on the side suddenly grabbed him.

"Well, I have something to do with... Tell him, you and your mother go in first! Chun Tao pointed to June.

Zhou Kuiruo turned his head to look at the confused June, frowned and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it now!" ”

Chun Tao's embarrassed eyes swirled back and forth between Zhou Kuiruo and Aunt Zhou, "It's just... You're going to go in first! I'm really in trouble. ”

Chun Tao pushed Zhou Kuiruo into Jimin Hall, he looked back and forth between June and Chun Tao for a long time, and at the moment when Aunt Zhou was about to speak, he turned around and left. "Hurry up!"

"Good!"

As soon as Zhou Kuiruo left, June asked in a low voice: "Chun Tao, what are you talking to me about?" ”

It won't be silver! Aunt Zhou is sick and needs silver, but now the family really can't come up with the money. What should I say? June looked at the back of Chun Tao's head worriedly.

Chun Tao was busy borrowing money, and didn't notice June's apprehension, so she took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to June, so frightened that he retreated again and again. "I can't do it, I can't help it, I... I can't do anything to be sorry for my brother-in-law. Besides, I've treated you as a sister since I was a child, and I really can't help it. ”

Yes? Chun Tao looked at the panicked June for a while, then looked at the purse in her hand, and suddenly remembered something. "It's not... No... What do you think... That's it. Chun Tao took out the broken hairpin in her purse, "Help me... Find someone to fix it... All right? ”

"Oh!" June scratched her neck in embarrassment, "I'm... Yes, of course! You can rest assured! Wrap it around me. ”

June took the purse and picked up the hairpin to take a look. "However, even if this hairpin is repaired, it is estimated that it will not be the same as the original."

"It's okay, if you can't fix it, forget it."

As soon as June left, Chun Tao ran to the backyard of the prayer building and found the shopkeeper Qi.

"Borrow money?" Shopkeeper Qi looked at Chun Tao in surprise.

"My mother is sick, so I'm in a hurry to use the money now."

"It's only a few days ago..."Shopkeeper Qi said and suddenly saw Chun Tao pursing his mouth, immediately stopped, and changed his words. In fact, Mrs. Zhou, you don't need to borrow money, you just need to write a few recipes and sell them to me, and you will have money. ”

It's really a businessman, but that's it, so I don't owe any favors. "Truth be told, I've given you all the recipes I can come up with. For the rest, the materials are not easy to get. ”

Shopkeeper Qi was silent after hearing this, Chun Tao paused, bit her lower lip and continued: "I know... You're a businessman, interest and stuff, I'm fine, I just want to... Get the money now. ”

"Hey! Mrs. Zhou, what you said. We've been working together for so long, how can I calculate interest with you? ”

"We're just a partnership, you don't need to compromise your interests to help me."

"If Mrs. Zhou hadn't given me hope, this prayer building would have been gone a long time ago, so you would... Be my reward! ”

"But before I told him..."

"That's between me and him, not you. Now I repay you, not him. His kindness! I owe it, maybe it will come in handy sometime. If you insist on giving me interest, I will not borrow it. ”

It's really fine, and the husband and wife want love. Chun Tao originally wanted to borrow money from a businessman, but it was not a favor as long as the interest was calculated, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper Qi to come to this one. Chun Tao could only smile bitterly. "I'm sorry for you."

"Then you wait, I'll go and give you the money." Shopkeeper Qi smiled proudly, turned around and left.

"I—" I haven't said how much to borrow? Looking at the back of the shopkeeper Qi who couldn't call back, Chun Tao put down his outstretched hand.

After a while, Shopkeeper Qi returned to the backyard with a purse and handed it to Chun Tao. "It's ten taels of silver, which must be enough."

"It's... That's too much, not so much. ”

"Take it! Anyway, you have to pay it back when the time comes, and it doesn't matter how much. ”

Chun Tao had no choice but to take it, "Thank you!" ”

"You're welcome."

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

"Let's have some more tea!"

"Nope." Chun Tao carried the money and quickly ran back to Jimin Hall. Before she arrived at Jimin Hall, Chun Tao saw Zhou Kuiruo standing by the door looking at her.

Chun Tao adjusted her breathing hard and stepped forward. "Where's my mother?"

"Dr. Yang is giving her an injection."

"Oh!" Chun Tao tried her best to be calm, walked past Zhou Kuiruo, and wanted to go in, but was caught by the hand.

"What did you say to June? Why So Long? Also, where have you been? ”

Chun Tao swallowed her saliva, her brain was running at high speed, and she suddenly had an idea. "Hairpin, I asked June to help me fix the hairpin, and then went to see it."

"Where did you go?"

"It's a friend of June, but he said he can't fix it, so June will help find someone else. I was afraid that it would be too long, so I didn't go with me. "Then there's no question to ask! Tuo Zhou Kuiruo's blessing, Chun Tao's lies are becoming more and more rigorous.

"Let's go inside!" Zhou Kuiruo smiled slightly, and seemed to believe it.

Dr. Yang gave Mrs. Zhou an injection, changed her prescription again, and repeatedly told "Don't be overjoyed and angry, and think too much." "Otherwise, the medicine stone will be useless.
