Gu Ye and Bao Ni carried their things home. Liu Jiu and San Qi will come back on their own when they've had enough fun.
"Gu Ye, do you know what your mother-in-law left you?" As soon as they got home, Bao Ni couldn't wait to ask Gu Ye.
You can't blame Bonnie for looking ignorant; having lived two lives, she's never seen a real treasure.
“I know. I was right beside Mom when she wrote her will. She left me the largest piece.” Gu Ye gently stroked the old jewelry box, which was his mother’s dowry box.
Gu Ye opened the box. The first layer contained a set of ruby jewelry: a necklace, earrings, a headdress, a pair of rings, and a bracelet.
The second tier contains a complete set of diamond jewelry.
Bonnie had never seen such a big pigeon egg before; she even wanted to bite it to see if it was real.
The third tier contains a set of sapphire jewelry, also a complete set.
Gu Ye picked it up and held it up to Bao Ni's head. Bao Ni was stunned; was she dreaming?
Bonnie secretly pinched herself. It wasn't a dream; it hurt.
"Are you stupid? You can't believe you pinched me? I'm tough." Gu Ye was overjoyed to see his wife's adorable expression.
Bonnie was a little embarrassed to have been seen because she hadn't expected Gu Ye to have such sharp eyes.
Gu Ye continued flipping through the pages. The fourth layer contained two pairs of jade bracelets. Bao Ni didn't know much about jade, but she had a discerning eye and could tell that the jade bracelets were of excellent quality.
The last shelf contains small ornaments: jade pendants, gold bracelets, jade plaques, pearl earrings, pearl necklaces, jade buckles...
Bonnie was stunned. This box of jewelry was incredibly valuable; they were rich.
Gu Ye looked at the jewelry on the bed and thought about what his mother had said when she was setting it up.
"Gu Ye, this is the betrothal gift your mother left for you. These jewels are part of your mother's dowry, a token of your maternal grandfather's love for your mother. Now, your mother is leaving a piece of her love for you. May you find a loving and caring wife in the future. My Gu Ye, you will surely be happy. Your mother will bless you in the future."
Eleven-year-old Gu Ye didn't care about any of that. He clung tightly to his mother's sleeve. He didn't want anything; all he wanted was for his mother to be by his side.
At that time, my mother's health was very poor, and she didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.
For more than four years, Gu Ye spent most of his time with his mother, watching her gradually weaken, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
"Gu Ye, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about what my mother said. She said these things were a gift she left for her daughter-in-law, and that they would bless me to meet a kind and caring wife, and live a happy life together." Gu Ye's eyes welled up with tears.
Bonnie hugged Gu Ye, offering him comfort and strength.
"Wife, these are all yours. In a few years, when things are better, you can take them out and wear them."
Gu Ye put the things back; these all belonged to his wife.
Bonnie and Gu Ye carefully put these things away. They were priceless treasures, not only because they were valuable, but also because they represented a mother's love for her child.
Just as I finished tidying up, Liu Jiu and San Qi came back.
"Mom, we saw Zheng Jun and Zheng Hong. I didn't expect Zheng Jun to be so tall."
Liu Jiu remembers Zheng Jun, the friend she was always afraid of forgetting.
The fifteen-year-old boy had a hoarse voice, but his speech was quite interesting.
Zheng Jun, now a high school student, has good grades and is also good-looking. He's over 1.7 meters tall, and because he's always been athletic, he's in excellent physical condition.
In any case, Bonnie's family has settled down in Beijing.
Meanwhile, Gu Lan, back home, also had mixed feelings. She hadn't expected her mother to leave her so many things.
"What did your brother say? You seem to be in a bad mood."
After settling the child in, Lin Sen came over to talk to Gu Lan.
The house they live in was prepared by their parents when they got married. It's a small two-room house, less than 40 square meters, and now the family of five lives there very crampedly.
“My mother left a will before she passed away, leaving some things for the three of us siblings. Now that things are better, my eldest brother took them out and divided them up. I feel guilty and think I’ve let my mother down.”
Gu Lan has little memory of her mother. She was five years old when her mother passed away, and she was always taken care of by Xu Fang, so she didn't have much contact with her mother.
"Alright, that's your mother's love for you. Just keep that in mind. Go wash up and go to bed. You have to go to work tomorrow."
Lin Sen didn't inquire about what Gu Lan had received, not because he didn't care, but because he knew it wasn't up to him to decide.
"Lin Sen, my mom left me a courtyard house, it's quite close to my workplace, let's find some time to go and take a look. If it's possible, let's move there, this house is too small, the kids are growing up, it's inconvenient for them to sleep in the same room anymore."
Gu Lan also wanted to live in a big house to provide a better environment for her child.
Lin Sen did not object; the place was indeed too small.
Brother Gu and his wife were also looking at the jewelry box left by their mother. There were two sets of jewelry, one with rubies and the other with emeralds. The rest were small accessories similar to those worn by Bonnie and the others, but they were missing a set of diamond jewelry and a jade bracelet.
Gu Ze told his wife to put the things away properly. These were family heirlooms; his maternal grandfather's vast estate had only these few items left, making them very meaningful.
"Gu Ze, what do you think Mom gave Gu Ye and Gu Lan?"
Looking at the exquisite jewelry, Sister-in-law Gu was also filled with excitement; no woman dislikes beautiful jewelry.
“I don’t know. My mom gave it to me sealed up. I’ve kept it hidden for years, and this is the first time I’ve taken it out today. Whatever it is, it’s something my mom thought about carefully. We should just accept it with gratitude.”
