The small box wasn't anything valuable; it was just a thick stack of silver notes.
Yes, the kind that costs a thousand taels each.
There are probably two or three hundred of them.
"Oh My God!"
"My god, a thousand taels apiece?"
"How much is all of this?"
The Chi family was completely stunned.
Aunt Chi, in particular, who thought it was only "two-thirds" not long ago, kept trembling with her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
His face was full of rejection.
If it's a small amount of money, she'll accept it.
That's so much money!
"It seems so, it seems to be how much?" Old Madam Yang asked Qin Mama behind her.
She's getting old and doesn't remember very well.
Granny Qin replied respectfully, "These silver notes amount to approximately 2.7 million taels."
Not to mention the ignorant Chi family, even Chi Tang's mouth was wide open, and her black eyes were rolling around.
Two million seven hundred thousand taels?
That much money?
“These are all banknotes from the largest banks in the capital. They should be exchangeable in this town, but such a large amount might not be exchanged in a day,” Granny Qin explained.
Aunt Chi blinked and said subconsciously, "Mother, you are really rich."
Actually, after Madam Yang arrived, Aunt Chi vaguely called her "Mother," and the old lady didn't insist on it; on the contrary, she was quite happy.
As long as her daughter is willing to acknowledge her, that's fine.
"This money is all for you, along with these jewelry pieces." Seeing the smiles on the faces of the Chi family members, Old Madam Yang felt happy as well.
She didn't have many years left to live, and to be able to see her own bloodline, her own descendants, was truly a joy.
Granny Qin explained from the side, "Besides silver notes, the lady's dowry included many estates, shops, books, rare copies, and portraits of famous artists. But..."
"I figured you wouldn't need the rare books and portraits of famous artists, so I left most of them to the Yang family. I only brought a few items; you can pass them down to your children. I sold the rest for silver notes so it wouldn't attract attention."
Madam Yang had considered everything carefully.
If we were to give all of her dowry to Aunt Chi, it would be too conspicuous, and the Chi family would inevitably become a "golden goose" in the eyes of others, which might not be a good thing.
So after meeting Aunt Chi, Madam Yang began to sell off her belongings.
However, she only sold gold, silver, jade, shops, and estates. As for antiques and books, they were all passed on to the Yang family.
A considerable amount of money was also left to the Yang family.
Lord Yang was not greedy, and besides, this was originally his stepmother's dowry. His Yang family had no reason to take his stepmother's dowry.
It's already a pleasant surprise that their stepmother is willing to give them something.
Moreover, the old lady gave each of her descendants a manor, a shop, and a set of precious jewelry, so no one could say anything more about it.
"I brought the best set, the one I wore on my wedding day, for Ruanruan," said Madam Yang and Aunt Chi, presenting their treasure.
The best, of course, should be for my own softie.
“Mother, I…I have never been filial to you for a single day, I cannot take this money.”
After the initial shock, Aunt Chi quickly made her choice.
She knew, of course, that even if she took this huge sum of money, no one would say anything.
Because she was the old lady's only biological child.
But she refused to take it.
That would make me too uneasy.
She had never served or cared for the old lady, nor had she shown any filial piety for a single day. How could she possibly accept so much money?
“Ruanruan, this is all my dowry from back then. It’s only right that my dowry be left to my daughter. Whether it’s a wealthy family or an ordinary family, a woman’s dowry should be left to her own children. Nobody can argue with that!”
Madam Yang was getting a little anxious.
How can I not want Ruanruan?
Has Ruan Ruan not accepted her yet?
Thinking of this, Old Madam Yang burst into tears, holding Aunt Chi's hand and sobbing sadly, "Ruan Ruan, I know it was wrong of your mother to lose you back then, but you have to forgive your mother, please forgive your mother, okay?"
"I never blamed you." Aunt Chi was stunned by the other person's crying.
She truly never harbored any resentment.
Because she is also a mother.
She knew that no one would feel more pain than a mother losing her child.
Moreover, forty years have passed, and the old lady still hasn't let go, which shows that she truly loves her.
Why would she complain?
"Then why don't you want to accept the money?" the old woman continued to cry.
Aunt Chi: "There's too much money, I..."
"Waaaaah, you still haven't forgiven me..."
"no……"
"Waaaaah..."
"I'll take it, I'll take it, okay?"
Aunt Chi was on the verge of a breakdown because of the old lady's crying.
I've never seen anyone force money into someone's hand.
but……
My heart feels so warm.
Is this what a biological mother is like?
very nice.
"That's more like it." Old Madam Yang said happily. Qin, the old nanny behind her, immediately handed the keys to the two boxes to Aunt Chi and said with a smile, "The old lady is happy now."
Having agreed, Aunt Chi didn't hesitate and put the key away.
Madam Yang then asked Granny Qin to fetch another box. The old lady said with a smile, "I know you have many children, so I prepared gifts for all my grandchildren."
"Then I'll call Dashan over."
Soon, everyone arrived except for Sister-in-law Chi, who had just given birth.
This includes Chi Erchuan and Chi Sihai.
