Dowry!

Gu Qingyao didn't know what to say. She had too much dowry!

When she got married, she would certainly receive a portion of the Gu family's wealth. Father told her he had saved his entire share for her dowry. And her grandparents would certainly give her a portion when she got married.

Her three older uncles and five older cousins would certainly give her gifts too.

Then there was what her teacher, Jiang Yiru, had prepared for her. As for Teacher Zhou Bingsheng, he did not have anything right now, but knowing him, he would probably make a few paintings specially for her.

In the future, they would be priceless!

And with what Mo Beihan had prepared for her and what she herself had earned…

She herself couldn't keep track of her dowry anymore!

And now Grandfather and Grandma Guo wanted to give her another portion…

Gu Qingyao laughed and said, “Grandma Guo, don't stand on ceremony. I have dowry. You should keep your things for your old age. Those were things that you hid previously? They must be very valuable…”

“It's not valuable!” Lin Wanyin said indifferently. “Grandfather Guo and I have nothing now. Ever since we arrived at the Qing River Brigade, we have been entirely dependent on the Gu family to take care of us. Look at you, you bring me food and medicine every day, and make clothes for us. You take such good care of us, but I haven't stood on ceremony with you, have I?

“You are Ruyu's granddaughter, which makes you like my granddaughter. This is all I can manage to give you! It's hard to say whether they will be valuable in the future.

“You should just accept my gift. Don't be shy. If you refuse to take anything, I will be too embarra.s.sed to take your food. In these times, food is more valuable than jewels and precious stones.”

Then Lin Wanyin gave Gu Qingyao a detailed account of where the things were. They were hidden in many places, and some had been hidden for many years. Lin Wanyin intended to leave the well-hidden things. Of the more accessible items, she should take back all she could. If someone else took them, it would be a waste.

Gu Qingyao understood.

Many people hid their treasures in several places. They even purposely hid some in obvious places to distract others.

Lin Wanyin spoke for a long time, then drew a map for Gu Qingyao and asked her to hide it carefully.

As she went home that night, Gu Qingyao felt rather amused when she looked at the map in her hand.

This was not the only map she had. She still had her teacher, Jiang Yiru's, map. They all said she should keep it for her dowry. How much dowry would she have?

At that moment, Gu Qingyao was unaware that when she really got married, a whole crowd of people would contribute to her dowry!

Each tyc.o.o.n was wealthier than the next!

The moment the new year began, the days pa.s.sed swiftly. Mo Beihan, Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng went to town a few times before they finally found a target.

When they came back to tell Gu Qingyao, she was somewhat skeptical.

“Are you sure? Someone like that is willing to marry Sun Mei?”

Mo Beihan nodded. “I'm sure. This w.a.n.g Jie's family is very rich. His father is the manager in a textile factory and his mother is a group leader.”

“They have two sons. w.a.n.g Jie is the younger brother. His older brother is quite mediocre. Although he married a city girl, he is not very capable but his family's social standing is quite high.”

“His older brother has two daughters and a younger son who is six years old.”
