Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Ji He also agreed, "Yes, little sister, my second brother is learning a skill now, and your second sister-in-law is supporting him. When I learn the skill well, I will open a small restaurant of my own, and then I will be able to support your second sister-in-law and my parents." At this point, he smiled embarrassedly, "Brothers are all grown men, you have to take care of yourself and live a good life. When I open the restaurant, I will still rely on you to support me, so I don't have to worry about not being able to get up at home."

The eldest and second oldest brothers had already expressed their support for their father, so Ji Chuan couldn't be left behind. He chuckled and said confidently, "I've earned the position of general manager based on my own abilities, and my future path is all set. With the support of the big boss and 50% of the soap workshop's profits, I can afford to marry and have children. I don't need my parents and younger sister to force me to eat." He winked at Ji Nuan, making her laugh.

Father Ji looked at his ambitious sons, straightened his back proudly, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... They are all good children of my Ji family. There is no need to worry about the Ji family not prospering in the future!"

Then he said to Ji Nuan, "These shops and properties were originally yours. They can continuously generate income, giving you confidence and a way out. Add them all to your dowry. Add to that the things you've kept in the house. When you have time, go get them back and ask your mother to consider what she can exchange for the betrothal gifts. We must prepare a sufficient dowry and we must not let anyone look down on my daughter."

Ultimately, her family was worried that she wouldn't be able to protect her if she was wronged after marrying into a wealthy family. Therefore, they wanted to give her everything they had, so she could marry off with honor and hope that her in-laws would be more tolerant of her given the large betrothal gifts.

The Ji family had once been ordinary farmers, and life was considered good when they could afford three meals a day. Even when life improved, with servants and clothing at their disposal, they had never seen so many fine things as they do today. But they were able to remain humble, maintain their integrity, and think so deeply about her. Ji Nuan was deeply moved.

Ji Nuan tried hard to suppress the heat in her eyes, and still smiled and said coquettishly as before: "Dad and Mom are the best. Thank you for worrying about me so much."

She pulled a stack of banknotes from her sleeve, handed them to Ji's mother, and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about the dowry. I'll have to take care of the other trivial matters. Take this money and buy things. If it's not enough, come to me for more."

Although Ji's mother couldn't read, she had been learning how to manage the household for so long that she could still recognize the numbers on the banknotes. She looked at the banknotes in her hand in surprise, counting them one by one, and soon she had counted them all.

"One hundred thousand taels? Why do we need so much? Ten thousand taels will be enough. Besides, you gave me a lot of silver before, and I don't have much to spend, so I still have some here!" Ji's mother had never seen so much silver before. She felt as if she was holding a real object, and it was extremely heavy in her hand.

Ji Nuan smiled and said, "Mom, you don't need so much. I want to honor you and my dad, don't I?"

Ji's mother: "That's too much! It's safer to put it in the bottom of the dowry."

Ji Nuan coquettishly took Ji Mu's arm and said, "Mom, don't worry about the money in the bottom of the box. I still have more! We can't buy too much land in the village, so you can use it to buy more land elsewhere. It doesn't matter if it's far away. We can send a manager to look after it, so you don't have to do it yourself. You and Dad, just enjoy your life, take good care of yourselves, live a long life, watch your children and grandchildren become successful, and the family prospers. This is the most important thing."

Father Ji was moved by what he heard and advised: "Xiaomei, please accept your daughter's gift!"

"Compared to my little sister, we are really ashamed!" Ji Shan whispered to his brothers, and then watched Ji Chuan and Ji He vying to show their filial piety to Ji's father and mother.

Ji Chuan said seriously, "Dad and Mom, the Jun family's shops are spread all over Dongchu. The 50% profit from the soap workshop that I get will be quite a bit of money. I plan to give half of it to you as a filial son so that you can also enjoy the blessing of having a youngest son."

Ji He was not to be outdone. He said with anticipation, "When my small restaurant opens, I will give half of the money I earn back home to honor my parents. You just wait and enjoy the blessing of having a son!"

Ji Shan was a little dumbfounded for a moment. He turned to look at Ji Nuan, only to see that Ji Nuan was laughing so hard that she was obviously amused by his reaction.
