Xu Wenda: "......."
Wang Ruoyun was struck dumb: "What foot washing?"
"It seems it's gone." Madam Liu covered her face, genuinely feeling sorry for Wang Ruoyun, while finally satisfying her curiosity.
The reason the daughter finally agreed to the marriage was because she had once asked Xu Wenda a question: would he be willing to wash her feet after the marriage?
A man who is willing to wash his daughter's feet is truly in love.
Xu Wenda's failure to wash Wang Ruoyun's feet indicates a lack of love.
Liu was pleased with her daughter, but felt heartbroken for Wang Ruoyun.
When Chu Jinjin returned, she happened to see the two of them leaving. Although Xu Wenda immediately lowered his head to hide it, he still saw the scratches on his face.
Chu Jinjin: "?"
Who scratched it?
Chu Jinjin had no interest in the relationship between the two. She had chosen her own path, and she only cared about her dowry.
The total amount of the dowry matched up. Some items were replaced with cash, such as the pair of pearl earrings that Xu Wenda's mother had worn, which were converted into silver at market price.
As for where the money came from, there's no need to think about it.
It was posted by Wang Ruoyun.
Anyway, as long as it's paid back, that's fine.
Chu Lingling insisted on going into her home, but then she couldn't hold back her sobs and burst into tears. The road behind her was completely blocked. She cried for herself, and even more so for her two children. From now on, it would be difficult for them to meet again.
Upon hearing the commotion, Madam Wang rushed over, embracing her daughter and weeping as she berated Chu Jinjin: "Why did you have to be so cruel?"
According to her plan, she could exchange her dowry for two children.
Now look what's happened. We've offended them completely, and now we're enemies. This debt will inevitably be settled with the two children.
Chu Jinjin understood her feelings.
That's right, if we use dowry in exchange, the Xu family is very likely to agree, but that's not how the calculation works.
How should we account for Chu Lingling's years of dedication?
The Xu family continued to live comfortably with the dowry. Xu Wenda's career soared because of this incident. He remarried and had new children. But what did Chu Lingling get?
The two children should have belonged to her.
Chu Jinjin turned around and went to the backyard to find her grandfather.
She made her decision and agreed to take charge of the household.
The future of the Chu family is bound to be turbulent, and she must weather this storm.
In Chu Jingde's room in the backyard, Chu Yan was also there.
Chu Jinjin quickly finished explaining the situation and then keenly sensed that something was wrong: "Grandfather, eldest brother, what happened?"
Chu Jingde sighed sullenly.
“Let me tell you,” Chu Yan said, his brows furrowed. “There’s been a problem with the gold mine my father invested in.”
The Chu family rose to become one of the top ten wealthiest merchants in the capital thanks to the business path established by Chu Zujian, but taking the next step is not so easy.
People who trade goods between the north and south make money from the price difference, but truly top-tier wealthy businessmen need stronger real businesses.
Chu Zujian used a full 30% of his personal wealth to secure the mining rights to a gold mine that the imperial court had just discovered.
News has just come in that the government officials in charge of the gold mines have found a fabricated reason to transfer the mining rights to someone else.
