"Grandpa, you took out all the money?" Li Xiyue was surprised when she saw the large bag of money.
Liao Qingshan said, "Now that we're back, we definitely need to withdraw the money so you can take it to the Chu family. That way, we'll have more confidence."
"Grandpa, I'm already very confident." Li Xiyue said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
However, it's good to withdraw it. In those days, there were no bank branches, and you couldn't withdraw money across provinces. It would be more convenient to withdraw it and deposit it in a bank in Beijing.
It's not very safe to take so much money back by train, especially with my grandfather around, and there's no space to store it.
I had to empty my suitcase and fill it with money.
The largest denomination of money in those days was ten yuan, so eighty thousand yuan was a lot; it took two suitcases to pack it all.
They need to buy two more suitcases to pack their luggage.
So, they came with two suitcases, but returned with four, plus a large wooden crate.
Zhuang Le was stunned by their actions. "Little sister, what have you been secretly buying behind my back?"
"Dowry," Li Xiyue said with a dry laugh, "The dowry my maternal grandfather prepared for me."
Liao Qingshan touched his nose. "I only have one granddaughter. Of course I need to prepare more dowry for her when she gets married."
"Little sister, I really envy you."
Liao Qingshan said, "Don't worry, when you get married, your master, my uncle, will also prepare a dowry for you."
“Yes, and your dad will also be preparing a lot,” Li Xiyue added.
Zhuang Le then laughed, "It seems that getting married is a good thing."
"Who's getting married?" Lu Feng asked, coming out of the house, unaware of the situation.
Li Xiyue decided to tease him, "Sister Lele wants to get married and even asked me to introduce her to someone."
"So, what kind of girl does Lele like?" Lu Feng asked Zhuang Le.
Zhuang Le looked at him and blurted out, "Someone like you."
"Pfft—" Li Xiyue laughed unkindly.
Lu Feng blushed, his eyes darting away, unable to look at anyone.
Liao Qingshan shook his head helplessly. This child's words were truly astonishing.
They had a lot of luggage, but luckily there were four of them, and each person carried two items to barely manage to load them onto the car.
"It's so heavy! What good stuff is inside?" Zhuang Le's arms were aching from carrying it, and he became even more curious.
Li Xiyue dodged the question, saying, "It's nothing, just some clothes, shoes, blankets, and the like."
"They don't sell them in the capital? Why did we come all this way to buy them?" Zhuang Le asked, puzzled, as he examined each box carefully. "There are so many things, I can't even look at them all." He was worried about losing anything.
Liao Qingshan explained, "Yueyue doesn't get married in her hometown. She comes to her hometown to buy some dowry, which is as if she is getting married in her hometown."
"There's such a saying?" Zhuang Le had never heard of it.
Lu Feng sensed something, pulled her to sit down, and said in a low voice, "Alright, Old Liao must have his reasons for doing this. If you're tired, eat something to replenish your energy."
"Okay." Zhuang Le clapped his hands, took the meat bun handed to him, and began to eat it heartily.
Lu Feng then took out the food and handed it to Liao Qingshan and Li Xiyue.
The group chatted and laughed as they ate, unaware that several shifty-looking men were eyeing their luggage.
After finishing her meal, Li Xiyue said to Lu Feng, "Brother Lu, keep an eye on things, I'm going to find a flight attendant."
With the year-end approaching, train tickets were hard to buy, and I could only get a seat.
Two days and two nights is too long. Fearing that Liao Qingshan would suffer too much, Li Xiyue wanted to find the flight attendant to see if they could change the old man's berth so he could rest.
"Okay." Lu Feng gave her a reassuring look.
All four of them know kung fu, three of them are doctors, and Zhuang Le can even poison. Anyone who dares to mess with them will be sure to come back for good.
