Chapter 20 Double Act



Chapter 20 Double Act

Du Ruo seemed a little embarrassed by what he said. She said, "Okay, just wrap it up for me. I'll just do a good deed for you."

The elder sister-in-law said happily: "Thank you very much, elder sister, your kindness will surely be rewarded."

Du Ruo smiled. She didn't know whether her kindness would be rewarded or not. These two people would definitely lose money if they cheated her.

Du Ruo pulled out a stack of brand new hundred-dollar bills from his inner shirt pocket, counted out eight and handed them over.

Perhaps because she had already received the money, the sister-in-law's temperament changed instantly. She checked the bills one by one under the sunlight, and if she was unsure, she handed them to the stall owner next to her.

After checking the banknotes, the two men looked at the stunned Du Ruo and couldn't help but laugh.

Du Ruo seemed to have just understood something. She stomped her feet angrily, turned around and walked away.

The two men behind him were grinning. The older sister-in-law took a few steps to the back of the stall, sat down on a bench, and said to the man, "I'm so tired. Next time, I'll sell the goods and you go to the front."

The man touched his chin and said, "What on earth is that jade thing? Let's not give it away, shall we?"

He complained again, "I told you to just throw anything in there. The iron piece would be fine. But you insisted on putting something made of jade in there."

The woman said, "Forget it. The copper hook is only worth two or three yuan, and the broken copper jar is also fake. If you don't put something to attract attention, how can you still play this game?"

The man thought about it, nodded and said, "You're right. I don't think that junk is worth much. There's even a temple door in the middle. Where can it be hung?"

Du Ruo's heart was filled with joy. What a wonderful thing, a hairpin with a pavilion and phoenix boat figure, from the Ming Dynasty. There was a similar one in the collection of the National Museum, and she was deeply impressed.

In fact, this thing is not worn directly on the head, so it looks a bit special.

In the Ming Dynasty, married women would usually comb their hair into a bun on top of their heads and wear a "hair cover" when attending solemn occasions.

The materials of "hair cover" are varied, including gold, silver, bamboo strips, and some are made of hair, which is called "Di Ji".

The "Di Ji" is covered with a layer of gauze, and various hairpins are worn on it, including "fenxin", "tiaoxin", "manguan", "chongcao hairpin", "huaniao hairpin", etc.

It can not only fix the "Di Ji", but also is a very important decoration for noble women, called "head ornament".

This hairpin with a pavilion and phoenix boat figure should be an inlay on the "fenxin" hairpin inserted in the middle of the "Di bun".

All I can say is that the couple was playing with the eagle all day long, and ended up getting their eyes pecked by the eagle.

This trip was worth it!

Du Ruo walked home happily, bought two servings of sausage noodles, and brought a roast chicken home to feed her baby son.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, her good mood was half ruined. Han's mother stood at the door of the main house and shouted to Du Ruo, "Second brother, come to my room later. Your father and I have something to tell you."

Du Ruo nodded expressionlessly, pretending to be angry, and said coldly: "Okay, let's see what else you can come up with."

Mother Han's expression froze. After Du Ruo went into the house, she ran into the house anxiously and said to Father Han, "Oh no, oh no, old man, you guessed it right. I don't know how the letter was seen by the second son's family.

She must be the one who opened the letter. She doesn't look like she wants to make peace with it. What should I do?"

Father Han said, "Isn't it all the fault of the third son? The whole family is busy, I told him to stop running around recently and wait for the letter at home, but look at him, he disappeared again, otherwise how could the letter fall into the hands of the second son's family?"

When Han's mother heard Han's father complaining about the third son, she became unhappy. The eldest son was her dearest child, and she didn't want to listen to anything anyone said.

Han's mother said, "How can we be on guard against thieves all the time? I think the second son's wife was also interested. She must have known about it before, otherwise why would she have spent money lavishly since last week? She just doesn't want to live anymore."

Father Han sighed and said, "So now we have been tempted. Let's give it a try. She will come over and give us some advice. You should be gentle and don't be aggressive. If you push her too far, we will be in trouble."

Mother Han nodded. She knew this truth. Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry. Moreover, if you push someone into a corner, they will do anything.

Regardless of what they discussed, Du Ruo put the things down, took out a box, and packed the antiques. She planned to sell them all to the boss.

It's better to have two masters for one thing than to have two masters for another. As for whether the boss will think too much, it's not a big problem. She will always work hard to move up. There will be a lot of speculations. It's useless to be afraid.

Selling it to the Yuan family is better than looking for buyers everywhere. The more buyers she finds, the more people will pay attention to her. It is better to just sell it to the Yuan family. They are rich and powerful, and what she has is nothing.

Du Ruo put the things away, stir-fried some vegetables, tore open the roast chicken, and gave each student a plate of sausage noodles. When everything was ready, she went to the Chen family next door to pick up her son.

Xiaozhe was playing with a mini train in the yard. The child grew up quickly. He had been eating well during this period and Du Ruo had taken good care of him. Xiaozhe's face had obviously gained some weight and his skin had regained its fair and tender color.

He is good-looking to begin with, and I should say his parents are both good-looking.

Du Ruo is a beauty. Even that bastard Han Ming looks decent. Otherwise, how could he have "married" into a wealthy family?

When Han Ming was dating her eldest cousin Du Jing, Du Ruo felt that this bastard was vain and unreliable.

If her eldest cousin had not suddenly broken off the engagement and slept with her fiancé Zhou Yang at her engagement party, she would not have been able to marry Han Ming.

Thinking of how her aunt cried, made a fuss and even attempted suicide, Du Ruo couldn't help but sneer.

She had said at the time that she agreed to marry Han Ming, and that she had repaid the kindness of her uncle's family. If they continued to treat her like that, she would not accept it.

I remember that later, her cousin lost money in stock trading, and her aunt came to the studio crying and making a fuss, but Du Ruo didn't give her a penny.

She said, “I can’t do anything to you, but as a sister, it is my duty to teach my brother a lesson.

I have a lot of people under my command, and they will help you discipline him every day, what do you think?"

In the end, her aunt left in anger.

Aunt Du also knew that Du Ruo would never show mercy when beating Du Hai.

As Xiaozhe was playing, he looked up and saw his mother. He happily dropped his train, ran over and threw himself into her arms, raised his little face and said, "Mom, are you here to pick me up?"

Du Ruo gently stroked his head. Her son was her own. She said, "Mom bought a roast chicken. Let's go home and have dinner."

Xiaozhe shouted happily and took the lead to run home.
