Chapter 520: Future Sister-In-Law (1/2)
Eldest Uncle had written the letter and he sounded very guilty.
He was the oldest son and at his age, he still had to depend on his family for financial assistance and increase their burden. He felt bad.
But the situation over there was just too tough. Also, the girl’s family was very poor.
Her family were all scholars, and they did not really know how to farm. After many years of hard labor, they were all in poor health, and one or two of them had even starved to death.
The girl had a younger brother, and the entire family went hungry. They had only done a little better after they met Eldest Cousin and had him to help them.
Of the food that the Gu family had sent, Eldest Uncle’s family had eaten some and given some to the girl’s family.
Her family members were quite nice, but they were very poor. So for the past year or so, Eldest Uncle’s family had been busy just trying to survive. They could not obtain any nicer things for the wedding.
When they read this, Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu’s hearts ached.
Their eldest son’s family had suffered so much. How could they not feel sad?
Since their eldest grandson was willing to help the girl’s family, of course they were happy to help. He would only be willing to assist them if they were worth helping.
Gu Chonghua immediately said, “Quick, prepare some things to mail to them. We can slowly prepare the things for the wedding, but we must send some food first. We must send it immediately.”
Wen Ruyu’s tears fell in her grief. “I’ll go, I’ll go. I’ll go right now.”
There was a small parcel with the letter.
Eldest Uncle’s family certainly could not afford grain, meat or food. They had sent some herbs back.
Two pieces of ginseng and two pieces of Ganoderma. They were not very large but looked fairly good. There was also another small packet of dried medicinal herbs.
