Cheng Su hadn’t found a job that suited her, and ever since she realized she was living in an era of struggle and effort, she had extinguished the idea of working for others; she was determined to do her own business and fight her own battles.
Therefore, she wouldn’t miss the current opportunity, and as for not having enough money?
She pursed her lips and her gaze fell upon the gold ring her mother-in-law had given her, as well as the pair of silver bracelets in the box, and other cherished belongings she had brought with her in the cabinet.
When she had just returned, she had already asked Chunhua and the others where there were pawnshops or gold shops in Qing City.
That’s right, she had set her sights on her dowry.
Since ancient times, women have had tough lives; pawning and selling their dowries to sustain their household was not uncommon—now it was her turn, and she didn’t see why she couldn’t do the same.
Indeed, the pawnshop—that restaurant she wanted to take over, she had a rough idea about how much money Taiguo had; he had only given her fifty yuan before, and it seemed a little embarrassing to ask him for more.
So Cheng Su thought of this; there were still pawnshops around these days, wasn’t it possible for her to pawn her belongings for some money?
She opened the cabinet, took out the bottle of precious perfume, and then the silk dress hanging there, reaching out her fingers felt like something was boiling and erupting inside her, rampaging around.
No, she couldn’t pawn them—they were hers, her dress and her perfume, all hers.
"Get a grip on yourself," Cheng Su growled softly, "even if I have to sell or pawn them today, in the future I’m sure I will be able to buy back a dozen, a hundred of them." She caressed the silky smooth texture and murmured to herself.
She needed to gather the full amount of the transfer fee to take over the shop. She needed the money here, and it seemed unreliable to count on Taiguo; she could only rely on herself to find a way. It was the only way.
When she decided to do something, she would definitely give it her all; if she still couldn’t achieve her desire, then it must be destined not to happen.
Touching the silky feel of the dress, she swore that in the future, she would wear such dresses in rotation every month, with no repeats every day.
