The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 75 Money moves people’s hearts
"It's already so late, and you're still keeping me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me! Who is it?"
Old Lady Yin slapped him in the face, and Gu Yubai held his head and hid behind Scholar Gu.
"Mom! I'm already so old, and you still slap me. Where will I keep my dignity in the future?"
Seeing this, Old Lady Yin prepared to take off her shoes!
Seeing that his mother was really anxious, Gu Yubai immediately described with great emotion how Xie Tingzhou fell in love with Gu Yingxue at first sight ten years ago, how they became determined in love at the second sight, and how they remained loyal to each other until death at the third sight. It was a touching love that moved heaven and earth!
When Gu Yingxue heard this, her face turned red, she stamped her feet and hid in her room!
Yang and Xiao Gu were so moved by Xie Tingzhou's deep love that they burst into tears!
Woohoo~!
There was a man in this world who waited for a woman for 10 years!
Woohoo~
There is such an infatuated man in this world!
Woohoo~
I am so lucky to be loved by someone so much!
Woohoo~
Why haven't I met such a devoted and unrepentant man?
Gu Yulang and Gu Yuze's faces darkened after hearing this. How could you plan to marry someone else if you were already married?
At this time, the two sisters-in-law were completely immersed in the touching love story of Xie Tingzhou and Gu Yingxue!
How could they care about their husbands’ gloomy faces, so the ignored Gu Yulang and Gu Yuze’s faces became even gloomier!
"Alas, now that things have come to this, even if we don't want to, we can't disobey the emperor's order. We can only prepare more dowry for your sister and try not to let her be looked down upon by others!"
After listening to Gu Yubai's description, Gu Xiucai remembered that 10 years ago, a nobleman named Xie had indeed sent his servants to deliver three swords.
It was with the help of those three swords that their family returned home safely.
Gu Xiucai's uneasiness was relieved a little.
But he was still not very reassured about his daughter marrying into a wealthy family.
But he also knew that no matter how reluctant their family was, there was nothing they could do. The imperial edict had come, and they could not disobey it!
"We plan to give all the things that the emperor gave us a few days ago as a dowry to Yingxue. What do you think?"
Old Mrs. Yin glanced at her four sons and two daughters-in-law, and was a little worried that they would be unwilling.
After all, the rewards were quite a lot, including silks, satins, jewelry and various ornaments, each of which looked worth a fortune!
She had never seen so many good things in her life, and these past few days her two daughters-in-law had been smacking their lips at the rewards.
"What are you talking about, mother? What do you mean by giving Yingxue a dowry? Isn't that Yingxue's dowry? What do we think if Yingxue takes her dowry away?!"
Yang looked at Old Lady Yin in confusion, not quite understanding why she said that!
Old lady Yin's lips twitched. Her eldest daughter-in-law had always been a simple-minded person who only cared about her husband's family, which made her, the mother-in-law, seem a little mean.
"Yes, she will definitely take away Mother Yingxue's dowry. We don't have any ideas!"
Little Gu looked at the silk that she had fallen in love with at first sight with reluctance.
These days she dreamed of wearing clothes made of silk, attracting the envy of everyone!
But after hearing what her sister-in-law said, she suddenly felt ashamed that she had even embezzled her own sister-in-law's dowry. This was really wrong!
Mrs. Yin said quickly with a flushed face.
"Mother, although we have these things given by the emperor, we should also buy some dowry for Yingxue and do our part."
Gu Yulang thought about it and said to Old Lady Yin.
Although our family doesn't have much savings, we still try our best to buy something for my sister.
I heard that people in the capital city attach great importance to a bride's dowry. If the dowry is too little, she will be looked down upon!
Although his Gu family is not rich, they also want people to know that they are not the kind of peasants who have no family background at all.
"Yes, we should prepare a good dowry for Sister Yingxue. We must let her have a grand wedding!"
"Yes! Mother! Let's go to the city tomorrow morning to choose a dowry for Yingxue!"
Gu Yulang's words immediately aroused the approval of everyone in the yard.
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Yin looked at their son and daughters-in-law with smiles on their faces, and were very satisfied.
The characters of these sons and daughters-in-law are really beyond reproach.
"Okay! Let's go to the city tomorrow morning to have a good look at preparing a dowry for Yingxue."
Gu Xiucai made the final decision!
Gu Yiyao looked with satisfaction at the Gu family members who were discussing enthusiastically preparing a dowry for her mother.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw that the things filled two rooms and boxes, and they looked very valuable.
Just now, when her grandmother said that she would give those rewards to her mother as a dowry, she actually paid close attention to it.
What surprised her was that everyone in the Gu family took it for granted that these were their mother's dowry.
No one thought about the dowry at all.
Gu Yiyao was not surprised at all about the others, even the newly married young Mrs. Gu did not have any objection, which made her look at her with new eyes!
It is said that money can move people's hearts. Needless to say, even she is envious of the love that the Gu family has for her mother. It is really rare to have such a family!
My mother's simple character is really all due to the pampering she received from the Gu family!
It was only because of a group of family members who protected her from all the hardships that my mother was able to survive so many years of widowhood.
If it weren’t for the company of her family, my mother might not be alive today.
Even though she saved her mother's life, if her mother woke up to face the ridicule and disgust of her family, her mother's mental state at that time would not have been able to survive until she woke up again.
Gu Yiyao sold all the silks, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings from the Lin Mansion and Yang Chenghou Mansion that she had copied from her own space to the Divine Doctor System.
The Divine Doctor System gave her 32 taels of silver according to the current prices in the Great Deng Kingdom. Gu Yiyao decided to give her grandfather 20 taels so that he could buy a house in the capital!
In this way, she, her mother and her brother would not have to be separated from her grandfather's family.
She has never been separated from her grandfather's family since she was born, and she has become accustomed to the company of her grandfather's family.
I don’t want to be separated from my grandfather’s family at all!
The most important thing is that her grandfather's family is destined to be cannon fodder, and she really doesn't feel at ease if they are too far away.
"Grandpa, let's go into the house. I have something to tell you."
When Gu Xiucai saw the serious expression on the face of his granddaughter, who had the greatest idea, he knew that she had something important to announce.
The yard was indeed not a place to talk. He knew without going out that there must be many people squatting by the wall outside his yard and eavesdropping!
As expected, as soon as the Gu family entered the house to discuss matters, the villagers who were eavesdropping in the corner of the Gu family's house were scratching their ears and cheeks in anxiety!
That naughty girl Yao Yatou had to go into the house to say whatever she wanted to say instead of saying it in the yard!
It won’t cost you a thing to let them listen!
The Gu family entered the house, and Gu Xiucai closed the door tightly to make sure that no one outside the yard could hear it before letting Gu Yiyao speak.
"Grandfather, this is what my master gave me. He heard about my mother's situation and gave me these banknotes, saying that you can use the money to buy a house in the capital so that you can be closer to the three of us and take care of each other."
After saying this, Gu Yiyao handed Gu Xiucai a thick stack of silver bills.
When Gu Xiucai held the banknote, he felt his eyes go dark and his hands were shaking slightly!
He and his son worked hard to earn a fortune over the years, and lived frugally. In 10 years, he only earned 50 taels of silver.
With just a wave of her hand, the granddaughter gave him 20 taels!
