Gu smiled sinisterly and shouted to the servants:
"I'm going to give out porridge at the city gate tomorrow. My second brother's wife said she's willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver. Madam Bai, go get it for me quickly."
Jin Linlin decided to spend money to avoid disaster. After all, this sister-in-law was clearly coming for her dowry. It was only 10,000 taels of silver. Nowadays, a noble lady's dowry is only 20,000 taels.
