Chapter 213: Engagement Dinner (5) (1/2)

Jiang Yingqiu sat in front of Mo Beihan. “Your grandfather gave these to me. Although our forebears were not rich, your grandfather managed to hide some of his wealth. But the situation was not so peaceful then, so he kept it hidden.

“Fortunately, he always kept it hidden, or we would have been in trouble.”

The Mos were currently peasants. If Old Master Jiang had not deliberately hidden his wealth, their background might not be so good now.

Jiang Yingqiu said, “That year, your grandfather was very sick. He gave me these things and I kept them hidden. When your elder brother got married, I gave him some. But later on…”

Jiang Yingqiu struggled to suppress her grief when she thought of her elder son who had passed away. Then she continued, “Later on, your elder brother ran into trouble and these things came back to me. I kept them to give to Chengrui and Chengxu in the future. This pair of bangles are for you. Now you’re only getting engaged. I have a few more for your wedding.

“I don’t have much. I only hid a little.”

Mo Beihan nodded. He knew his forebears were not rich. It was already surprising that they had this.

Mo Beihan took it and decided to give them to Gu Qingyao the next day.

The two of them talked for a while, then Jiang Yingqiu went to bed.

Mo Beihan looked at these things. He did not fall asleep until late.

The next day, everyone in the Gu family got up early. Gu Qingyao put on her set of new clothes.

The snow had not yet melted, but today’s weather was extremely good. It felt warmer than the previous days.

Gu Qingyao got up very early. She wore her thermal underwear and flannel pants from her interspace. Over that, she wore a red sweater knitted from sheep’s wool. She had made this sweater especially thick, so it was very warm to wear.

Lastly, she put on her red and blue checked coat. She had added a fleece lining inside the coat to keep her warm when she wore it.

She carefully combed her braids, then put on her black trousers and leather shoes. Her eldest aunt, Fang Ling, saw her the moment she walked out of her room.
