The eldest son is already twelve and still getting extra dowry, even Shuzhen, who may be a bit naive, knows it’s her brothers finding excuses to give her more, right? But, clearly she’s the one who’s getting the lion’s share! Seeing her brothers give so much, just take it quietly, otherwise you’ll end up being distant with them. The two sisters-in-law even kept saying listen to your brothers, it’s only right for big brothers to give their little sister some pocket money when they’ve made so much money. Shuzhen was both touched and comforted. In other families, even a pair of gold earrings would have them fighting like cats and dogs, let alone sisters-in-law causing drama and threatening that if she’s in, I’m out, forcing the in-laws and husbands to choose a side. Even the brothers might inevitably say something like daughters married off are like spilled water, you have to rely on sons for old age and ancestral rites, right? After all, this is a two-pound gold bar, which at today’s price, sold at the bank would be a solid sixty thousand yuan. Her two brothers, without batting an eye, each pushed thirty bars her way, and the sisters-in-law had not a single objection, rather they urged her to take it. This is truly a testament to the saying that feelings are worth more than gold! Shuzhen, with tears in her eyes and heartfelt gratitude, said, "Alright, since my two brothers have shown their sincere intentions, I won’t decline. But, it’s only polite to give and take. I’ll give both sisters-in-law some jewelry too, as my belated blessing! Hey, I really want to be extravagant here and say, big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, don’t be polite with your little sister, take whatever you fancy. But thinking about it, behind this seeming generosity is actually quite petty. Because considering the nature of the sisters-in-law, they’ll surely just pick a couple of things and be done with it! To avoid this false generosity, I’ll decide for you. Now, second sister-in-law likes lavish jewelry, this golden bracelet with ruby inlays must suit your taste, plus this pair inlaid with blue sapphires. A ruby necklace with matching earrings, looking all noble and magnificent, surely will catch the eye of second sister-in-law. As for big sister-in-law, she loves understated luxury with depth. I think this pair of mutton-fat jade imperial bracelets, along with matching earrings and hairpins, should suit your taste. And this piece of jade is so clear and shiny it looks good too..." Seeing the young sister-in-law pulling out good stuff for them like wholesale, with her eight-compartment jewelry box about to lose a compartment, the two sisters-in-law quickly stopped her. "Oh dear, my godmother, that’s your dowry, it’s our parents’ blessing and sentiment for you. You can’t just give it all to us, otherwise if people know it’s your goodwill, but those who don’t might say I’m coveting the sister-in-law’s dowry, what to do then? Let me tell you, such a big black pot, I won’t carry!" Su Hongying playfully scolded, tapping Shuzhen’s forehead to stop her from splitting up the dowry. Although the dowry left by in-laws for the sister-in-law was enviably large, they were left quite a bit too, weren’t they? A two-pound gold bar totaling three hundred pieces, and also those many silver coins, ancient manuscripts and paintings. With money enough for their family of six to live on now till the next life without running out. There’s already plenty in our own pot, why covet what’s in sister-in-law’s basin? If by misfortune her own husband misunderstood her as being greedy, wouldn’t it affect the marital relationship and disrupt sister-in-law harmony? No matter how good the money is, it’s not as precious as relationships, respecting sister-in-law, including caring for her family, is truly a rare good sister-in-law in the world. If some petty money were to cause a rift in the relationships of good couples, sister-in-law bond, it would mean the head got waterlogged, discarding a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds! Such an act of valuing superficial over substantial is not the style of Su Hongying. Seeing her husband’s look of admiration and joy from across, Su Hongying felt she had not done wrong. Wu Yinghong, a step slower, also laughed, "Isn’t that right, coveting sister-in-law’s dowry is not a good name. I still have three sons to worry about getting married, sister-in-law, don’t cause trouble for me!" "But it’s just heartfelt intention, why take it so seriously? You two sisters-in-law are not as straightforward as your little sister; see how my brothers each pushed thirty gold bars, didn’t I accept without a word?" "Cut it out, gold has a price, jade is priceless. Not to mention the imperial green bracelet you want to give us, if the market gets better over the years, one would be worth more than thirty gold bars; there’s probably even some extra! Don’t try to fool us with the idea that you only care about looking nice and suitable without knowing the actual value. What you picked for us covers our interests and balances the value, doesn’t it. If you don’t understand, probably no one really does!" Wu Yinghong raised her eyebrows, looking as if she’s not an outsider, and can’t be fooled. Shuzhen, helpless, thought alright, she’s dealing with an expert here. Hearing Wu Yinghong say this, Su Hongying, already feeling wrong about taking sister-in-law’s dowry, refused even more. It took a lot of persuasion from Shuzhen for the two sisters-in-law each to accept two sets of jewelry. Of course, that box contained only one pair of imperial green bracelets, even if heavens spoke, they wouldn’t take it. Shuzhen, helpless, had to comply with them. Before, the three siblings had sold family heirlooms adding up to six hundred thousand yuan, these many gold and silver indeed shouldn’t be left home. Otherwise, attracting some reckless people with a single careless move, it wouldn’t just be a simple matter of losing property. Liu Shouren suggested going to the province, the city, finding a few banks, opening a couple of safes to store the items. Gold is always hard currency, and exchange prices have routinely risen over recent years, it always feels like storing gold is more secure than money. Liu Shouyi, thinking to learn from Old Yang and become a successful businessman with industries across the world, revitalizing the past land of thousand acres and countless shops prosperity of the Liu family, felt this gold was coming at the perfect time, exactly suitable for capital. He already thought it out, to run a food factory, research the wild fruits and vegetables from the mountains and lands, the leftovers from village factories – chicken, ducks, geese innards – and turn them into Good Taste. Make them into canned goods, pickles, cooked meals, selling nationwide. Convenient sourcing aside, the prices of these visible everywhere are also not high! "Don’t look at me like you’ve seen a ghost, okay? Although our materials seem insignificant, my high profit from small investment with broad market demand can’t be beaten, can it! Typical small investment, high return, what do you think, big brother, little sister, want to join? I’ll allocate you two shares, let’s all make money together!" After finishing his thoughts, Liu Shouyi couldn’t help defending himself seeing the odd glance from sister-in-law and little sister turning surprise into disdain. He ended by inviting big brother and little sister to join, and firmly stated that he had no problem with capital, merely wishing to lead big brother and little sister in making money.
