Just stay in the capital with your husband's family, isn't that enough?
“My daughter is right,” Yao sighed.
Then he took out the three boxes that he had prepared beforehand.
"Mother, what are these?" Li Zhiwei looked at the boxes with a puzzled expression. One of them looked familiar to her.
That box is almost identical to the one my uncle gave me. Could it be that my uncle also gave it to me?
"This is something your maternal grandmother left me when she passed away." Madam Yao gently touched the box, her eyes filled with longing for her mother.
Sadly, he would never see his mother again.
"Now, I'm giving these things to you. In the future, you can pass them on to your daughter. Consider them family heirlooms that are passed down from mother to daughter, not from son. They're not anything valuable, just something to keep as a memento." Madam Yao pushed the box in front of Li Zhiwei and said with some reluctance.
"Mother, since these things were left to you by your maternal grandmother, you should keep them safe." Li Zhiwei quickly pushed the box back. She could see her mother's reluctance, how could she take away her mother's beloved possessions?
“Here you go, just keep it.” Madam Yao didn’t look at the box again, as if it were given to Li Zhiwei, and she would never look at it again.
Seeing Yao's expression, Li Zhiwei didn't dare to insist any further.
However, I still don't agree with Yao's approach.
"Back then, when you married into the capital, the time was very rushed. Your father and I wanted to prepare a dowry for you, but there wasn't enough time. We could only hastily bring you what we had prepared beforehand to the capital." As Yao said this, she still felt a little regretful.
After all, those things, though not valuable, were things she and Li Tianyou had carefully prepared for sixteen years.
Those things are now impossible to get back.
Last night, the master also told her that when his daughter gets married again, her dowry should not be as ostentatious as before, otherwise it would easily attract gossip.
“Mother, the things you prepared for your daughter back then were already extremely precious.” Li Zhiwei didn’t understand why Madam Yao suddenly said this, but there was really no doubt about the quality of her dowry.
No one in the capital city could afford such a generous dowry.
“Those things aren’t exactly valuable, but your father and I put a lot of effort into them. We originally hoped that your life would become smoother and smoother, but we never expected that they would bring you so much trouble.” Thinking of how the Lin family had made things difficult for their daughter, and thinking of Li Tianyou’s current status and position.
The grand wedding procession they had been hoping for, stretching for miles, would probably never be able to be prepared.
“At the time, your father and I originally planned to send you the rest of your dowry after you had established yourself in the capital. Unexpectedly, what we received was the news that you hadn’t married into the Lin family. These were originally some of the additional dowry that your father and I wanted to give you.” After saying this, Madam Yao pushed the two boxes in front of Li Zhiwei.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
So, besides the 1,360 dowry items, her parents prepared another one for her?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei looked at the boxes with curiosity.
He wondered what might be inside.
However, the box wasn't very big, and Li Zhiwei felt it wouldn't be more valuable than the dowry.
"Mother, I'm sorry!"
Li Zhiwei thought that she had secretly donated the dowry that her parents had carefully prepared for her to the imperial court. Her parents must be very sad.
After all, those things represent the love and care that one's parents have for their child.
But she donated it without even thinking about it.
When my parents find out, they will definitely be very sad.
However, she thought that if she had to do it all over again, she would make the same decision. After all, she would rather use those things to fight for a way to survive than marry into the Lin family.
