In any case, the parents' hurdle has been overcome, Niu Niu's medication is secured, and everything is moving in a positive direction...
Gu Chengfeng is truly her benefactor!
When I got back to my aunt's house, the house was in a mess, with drawers and cabinets rummaged through.
Zhao Shilan sat on the sofa counting her money. The money in her hand was in small denominations, and she only had about a hundred yuan after piecing it together from various sources.
"Sisi, take this money first. Your uncle will borrow the rest." Zhao Shilan rolled up the money, tied it with a rubber band, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and stuffed it into Shen Sisi's hand.
She stared blankly at the cloth bag in her hand: "Auntie, what's going on? Are you really preparing a dowry for me?"
Zhao Shilan sighed, "Your mother passed away early, and as your aunt, I really should have prepared a dowry for you. It was my oversight."
"Back then, your mother helped your uncle and me get our jobs. Otherwise, your uncle and I would still be working as peasants in the countryside. We wouldn't be living in this small house, we wouldn't have the salaries of two working people, and your sister Tingting wouldn't have had the opportunity to go to the provincial cultural troupe."
"Speaking of which...we owe you so much..."
Zhao Shilan wanted to cry whenever she talked about the past. When her older sister and brother-in-law were alive, they had such a good family background.

She knew her aunt felt guilty towards her and her mother, and seeing her aunt reveal all the family's assets, she couldn't bear to do it.
But considering Niu Niu's illness, and how much more expensive it would be to go to a big hospital in the provincial capital, she accepted the money without hesitation: "Thank you, Auntie..."
She wasn't surprised that her aunt was preparing a dowry; what truly surprised her was that Chen Jianguo would actually run off to borrow money.
Soon, everyone in the residential compound heard that she was thinking about getting married.
It is said that the betrothal gifts will be delivered the next day.
Everyone was curious about who this sucker was and what kind of junk he would send over.
After all, how much can a worn-out shoe be worth?
They were all waiting to see Shen Sisi make a fool of herself...
