After Su Yan handed the space button to Zhou Shuting, she had nothing to do anymore.
After asking her grandfather for permission to renovate the Sheng family courtyard at will, she did not hesitate and went back to her hometown to get busy.
In order to decorate the yard, Xiao Mu and Liao Qinglan decided to get together. Liao Qinglan naturally stopped her job as a nanny and started living with Xiao Mu.
"Xiaoyan, ever since your mother left you and disappeared, Qinglan has been with me all the time. She is a medical genius and has taken care of your grandfather and me. I refused at the time because it would delay her, but the child insisted on repaying my support for her. After coming to our home, she has more or less comforted your grandfather and me who missed us so much. Without her careful care, I might not have been able to see you and then your mother.
To outsiders, she is our nanny. Your grandfather and I treat her as our goddaughter. Now that she has someone she likes and lives her life together, I feel relieved. I prepared a dowry for her many years ago, but the situation is different now. Xiaoyan, I want you to help me exchange the dowry for her for supplies. It would be best if there is a small space button for her to store. "
The old lady pulled Su Yan into the room and talked with tears in her eyes. She was worried that her granddaughter would be jealous, and she was also a little reluctant to let Liao Qinglan go. But no matter how reluctant she was, she had to do this for her granddaughter to live comfortably and for Liao Qinglan's happiness.
Su Yan thought it was something else.
"Grandma, this is what I should do. She has taken care of you and Grandpa for so many years instead of my mom. I will also give her a dowry. If Uncle Xiao dares to treat her badly or if there is any emergency, she can live well."
"Good child, I'm very happy that you can understand. Xiao Mu will not treat Qinglan badly. He can't stay with your grandfather for so many years if his character and temperament are not up to standard. Xiaoyan, you can take these into the space to exchange, and then help me prepare the supplies."
The old lady took out a medium-sized box from the safe. When she opened it, she found six 500-gram gold bars, a set of gold jewelry, and a pair of jade bracelets.
Even the box was stuffed into Su Yan's hand.
"Don't worry, grandma. I'll take care of the dowry for you. I'll take the gold bars and jadeite, but you still have to give Sister Qinglan a set of jewelry as the three golds for your wedding."
"Then I'll listen to you. Don't call me Sister Qinglan. Call me Auntie."
The old lady took the jewelry back and then took out a larger jewelry box from the safe and gave it to Su Yan.
"Grandma, what is this?"
"This is your dowry. Your grandfather and I gave it to you. We wanted to give it to you when you and Qin Yi held your wedding ceremony. But now things are getting more difficult. I'm afraid it won't be easy to hold this wedding, so I'm giving it to you now."
"Hehe, thank you grandma. Are you worried that I'll get jealous when I see you giving Aunt Qinglan a dowry? Am I such a stingy person as your granddaughter? Besides, you gave me a suitcase full of jewelry the first time you met me."
The old lady was indeed afraid that her granddaughter would feel uncomfortable, but her granddaughter said it out loud as if it were a joke. Knowing that the child really had no objection, she poked Su Yan's forehead twice lovingly, and then she burst into laughter.
"That's not a dowry. It's a proper one."
"Okay, okay, if it's given to me by my grandparents, I will definitely accept it."
Su Yan took her share of the dowry and opened it. It was all top-quality and colorful.
The box is full of collection-level quartz, lapis lazuli, topaz, black jade, and jadeite including emerald, positive green, violet, and chicken blood jade.
Needless to say, Su Yan also roughly knew that these were the most valuable items on the trading platform of her dimension that the old man and the old lady knew about, so they were specially left for her.
"So beautiful! Each piece can be a family heirloom, grandma, I love it so much!"
This is the feeling of being loved by family. Su Yan kissed the old lady on the cheek and then snuggled into the old lady's arms.
The old lady also naturally hugged her granddaughter and loved her very much.
Su Yan stayed in the old lady's arms for a long time before entering the space to prepare a dowry for Liao Qinglan.
The 6 gold bars weigh 3kg. By trading the pair of jade bracelets that the old lady gave to Liao Qinglan, we can get 13kg of gold.
Su Yan spent 5kg of gold to buy a small 100 cubic meter space button and a bottle of human cell repair fluid, which could save a life at a critical moment. She put it in a box, wrote its purpose and usage on it, and put it in the space button.
There was 1kg of gold left from the dowry that grandma gave to Liao Qinglan.
She agreed to add to Liao Qinglan's dowry, and after that she would not care about the price and would prepare clothes and shoes for all four seasons according to Xiao Mu and Liao Qinglan's sizes.
Fruits, vegetables, various meats, rice, flour, oil, salt, sugar, seasonings, milk powder, nutritional supplements, tobacco, alcohol, tea, etc., all the things needed in daily life, she packed a portion of what she had previously stockpiled in her space, enough for two people to eat for twenty years.
It’s not that Xiao Mu and his wife can live for another 20 years, but these 20 years are to provide Liao Qinglan with supplies, and Xiao Mu is not unable to support his wife.
Su Yan put the various jades given to her by the old lady together with her favorite jade jewelry that she had kept before. These things were not traded.
After coming out of the space, he handed the space button to the old lady, "Grandma, can you take a look? It hasn't been bound yet and anyone can see it."
The old lady picked it up and probed it with her mind, "This? Xiaoyan, did you add too much?"
"It's okay. You know our family can afford it. Anyone who treats you and Grandpa well deserves it."
"As for you, I'll send Qinglan off first, and you stay in the small living room and look after the two children." The old lady also took out the set of gold jewelry that she had set aside and put it into the space button.
"I know, come on." The old lady must have something to say to Liao Qinglan, so Su Yan didn't say anything.
In the kitchen, Liao Qinglan was washing vegetables and preparing lunch.
Seeing the old lady coming over, he hurriedly went up to her and asked, "Madam, do you have anything to add?"
"No, no, just do what you normally do. I want to tell you something."
"Okay, go ahead."
Liao Qinglan helped the old lady out of the kitchen and sat down on a chair in the dining room.
The old lady pulled Liao Qinglan to sit on the chair next to her and said, "You sit down too, let's talk."
Liao Qinglan pulled the chair and sat diagonally opposite the old lady. He felt that the old lady spoke about her and Xiao Mu in a cautious manner, like a student waiting for criticism from the teacher.
"What's wrong with you? I have nothing against you and Xiao Mu. If I hadn't said that last night, you two would have been dragging it out for who knows how long."
Liao Qinglan blushed a little, "Old lady, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
"You are a smart girl, but even the smartest women can sometimes make mistakes in marriage. However, the old man and I know Xiao Mu's character. He won't cheat on your feelings. I believe he will treat you well. But your relationship with him is not just a matter between the two of you, but a matter between two families.
You are an orphan. Strictly speaking, you just married into the Xiao family. Xiao Mu is very good, but we are not familiar with his parents and brothers. I don’t know if we can get along well. I am worried that you will feel inferior when getting along with them, so I remind you a few more times. You don’t need to feel inferior in front of the Xiao family or anyone else. You are from the Sheng family. I, the old man, and Xiaoyan will all be your in-laws from now on. Do you understand?"
“Woo, woo…”
Liao Qinglan cried loudly, unable to utter a word, and just kept wiping her tears.
The old lady was a very sentimental old lady, how could she bear this? She also sobbed and wiped her eyes.
"Don't cry yet, I haven't finished yet."
The old lady could never have imagined that one day she would be the one persuading others not to cry. She placed the small space button in her hand into Liao Qinglan's palm.
Then he said, "This is the space button. You should know it more or less. I asked Xiaoyan for it. There are some supplies in it. They are given to you by the old man, me, and Xiaoyan. Consider it as a dowry. You should keep it well. Natural disasters come one after another. Life will only get harder and harder in the future. These things are your confidence.
Live a good life with Xiao Mu. If you are not used to living in Xiao's house, you two can move out and live on your own. It will be better this way. Come, I will teach you how to use this space button..."
Liao Qinglan was like a little puppet, she nodded and did whatever the old lady said.
With the help of the old lady, when she bound the space button and used her consciousness to explore the things inside, Liao Qinglan hugged the old lady and sobbed. She wanted to say something, but felt powerless to say anything.
"Old lady, I, I kowtow to you."
