Chapter 1643 Brothers and Sisters-in-law 3
Guan Yu answered without hesitation, "You know our family's situation. Can't we support an old grandmother? When we are able, we will repay our uncle and aunt."
He knew very well that the abundant supplies in the house came from Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue.
Zhou Zhou hummed with a nasal sound.
"Thank you, A Yu!" Zhou Zhou was extremely happy and turned to look at his grandmother. "Grandma, others will laugh at you, so why bother about them? Just come with us and live with us. In your later years, you can wait for your granddaughter and grandson-in-law to be filial to you and live comfortably. When we have children, you have to help take care of them."
When she heard the words "look after the child", Grandma Zhou's eyes lit up, and then she said, "How can it be my turn?"
Guan Yu hurriedly said, "Who said it's not your turn? I don't have parents, so I don't need you to help look after the baby. My eldest brother and his wife are in the capital, and there's no one to look after the baby. I'm so worried that my brows are about to fall off."
The two of them tried their best to persuade the old man and finally convinced him to give them an answer after thinking about it.
When Zhou Zhou asked his neighbor to borrow a fire to light the coal stove to boil water, Grandma Zhou took apart a broken pillow she was leaning on, reached into it, took out a box and handed it to Guan Yu who was sitting on the edge of the kang.

Guan Yu scratched his head and said, "We haven't given Zhou Zhou the betrothal gift yet!"
"Wedding supplies are wedding supplies, and betrothal gifts are betrothal gifts. When Tianjun and my eldest brother got married, my aunt prepared a portion for each. Tianzhi and I had already prepared one. Aunt has always treated us equally. It's just that we didn't go to her place before we got married, so she didn't give us any. However, my aunt said in the letter that I will ask grandpa to send it to you tomorrow."
Zhou Zhou said: "Don't be so polite. We have already received a lot of care from our uncle and aunt."
"It's already this late, and there's still a betrothal gift? Didn't my aunt send me a lot of things?" Zhou Zhou washed his hands and walked over.
Although she had sons and daughters, the old woman had always lived a difficult life. If it were not for Hong Zhanjun's care and the food and clothes sent by Zhou Zhou, she would have died of hunger and cold eight hundred years ago. Therefore, she had no feelings for her children, and her deep maternal love was completely worn out by her children's unfilial behavior.
"Grandma, what are you doing?" Guan Yu looked confused.
Grandma Zhou smiled and said, "This is what Grandpa Zhouzhou left me. He told me that I would give these things to whoever of my children is filial to me. I didn't expect that the one who is filial to me is Zhouzhou. I will consider this as a dowry for Zhouzhou. In the old days, wealthy families would start saving dowries for their daughters when they were young. We don't have the money, so we can only be simple."
She felt the betrothal gift was too hot to hold.
Guan Yu didn't continue the topic and handed her the box in his hand, "Look at what dowry grandma has prepared for you."
Zhou Zhou knew the family's living conditions and thought there might not be any valuables. He opened the box without taking it seriously and was immediately dazzled by the gold and silver inside.
"Grandma!" Zhou Zhou couldn't help but scream.
Grandma Zhou narrowed her eyes and said, "Your grandfather and I both lived in war-torn times. Who wouldn't save some hard currency if they had the means? Although our family lives in an ordinary way, your great grandfather saved people and they gave him many gifts of thanks afterwards. All he has left from all the silver dollars is these few dozen in the box, which are not worth much. But those gold bars are very valuable, they are Shanghai's big yellow croaker."
