Chapter 22 Her Little Husband Belongs Only to Her
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Mother, I have always been your daughter."
Aunt Zhou suddenly realized, reached out and touched her cheek, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled, "Yes, you were originally my daughter."
"Mother, wife, are you done yet?" Zhou Ruiyuan pushed a chair slowly out of the house.
Although he can stand up on one leg, it is very difficult for him, so he still sits most of the time.
Du Wanchun slowly turned her head to look, and saw that Zhou Ruiyuan had combed all the hair in front of his forehead and put it up with a simple hair crown.
His fair face with its distinct features revealed his deep-set eyes and brows, making him even more handsome.
Du Wanchun had always known that her husband was handsome, but she never expected that she, as his wife, would be so stunned by his good looks.
To be honest, she really wants to hide him away now, so that no one can see him.
Her little husband belongs only to her.
Du Wanchun kept this thought to herself, walked to Zhou Ruiyuan's side, and helped push his chair, saying, "Husband, when you come to my house today, you don't need to be afraid of my father or my stepmother. From the moment I got married, they have long since had nothing to do with me."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked ahead and slowly said, "Today, I'm not going back to visit those two elders, but to take back what belongs to you."
"What is it?" Du Wanchun was a little surprised, as she seemed to have never told Zhou Ruiyuan about her affairs.
Zhou Ruiyuan slowly stood up, supporting himself on the chair. He endured the pain in his legs and turned to look at her, saying earnestly, "These are the things your mother left you."
Du Wanchun strode forward, supported him, and asked in confusion, "How did you know, husband?"
With her help, Zhou Ruiyuan slowly got into the carriage. "That's what Matchmaker Liu said. She said your stepmother is cruel and must have withheld a lot of your dowry."
“I think the things your mother left you must be very important to you, and you can’t just give them away to others.”
After he finished speaking, he sat up straight, put his arm around Du Wanchun's waist, and led her into the carriage. He then took the reins and started driving the carriage.
Du Wanchun leaned against him, looking up at the corner of his jaw, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.
The carriage moved slowly, and the fragrant spring breeze gently caressed their cheeks. Du Wanchun leaned on his shoulder, watching the lush green leaves and the peach blossoms of March that came into view. Her turbulent heart became calm, so calm that she felt a sense of time to grow old together.
Although Changliu Village is a bit far from Xiangtan Village, where Du Wanchun lives, it was quick to arrive at the village entrance by horse-drawn carriage.
When Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan arrived home, a carriage was already parked outside the courtyard gate.
That carriage was different from theirs; it was magnificent and clearly belonged to a wealthy family.
If I'm not mistaken, it's her stepsister Liu Lanzhi and the eldest son of Magistrate Li who have returned.
Du Wanchun slowly dismounted from the carriage and helped Zhou Ruiyuan walk towards home.
Before they arrived, Du Wanchun had originally planned to bring the chairs from her home, but Zhou Ruiyuan insisted on doing so. He insisted on using his newly recovered leg to walk slowly towards the Du family home.
Du Wanchun supported him, and could feel that he was struggling with every step he took. She held his hand and said, "Husband, would you like me to find you a chair to sit on?"
Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head, enduring the discomfort in his legs, and insisted on walking forward. "It's okay, I'm fine."
Seeing his expression, Du Wanchun knew that he was standing there so as not to embarrass her in front of her stepsister and stepmother.
At this moment, Liu, who was inside the house, saw Du Wanchun. She walked to the door with her big pregnant belly and said to them sarcastically, "Oh, Wanchun, you've come too."
Du Wanchun helped Zhou Ruiyuan forward, bypassing her and walking into the house.
Zhou Ruiyuan happened to pass by Liu.
When Liu looked up and saw Zhou Ruiyuan's face clearly, she was stunned. Wasn't it said that the eldest son of the Zhou family was disabled? How come he is not only handsome but also has a normal leg?!
She was taken aback, walked up behind Du Wanchun, and said fiercely, "Du Wanchun, didn't you see your mother is here!"
Du Wanchun stopped and replied coldly, "My mother is buried in the ground, not in this house."
