Chapter 108 - 108 107 She insists on holding her
?Chapter 108: 107 She insists on holding her Chapter 108: 107 She insists on holding her After dinner, Chen Shi’s family didn’t go to work, instead they were chatting leisurely in the main room with Chen Afu’s family. Mrs. Zhang brought out two parcels. These were some food items for the eldest branch of the family, and two sets of silk-padded jackets she had made for Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye.
Next, Mrs. Zhang took out a brocade box from her bedroom and handed it to Chen Afu. Not sure what it is, Chen Afu opened the box and found a twisted silver bracelet.
Mrs. Zhang laughed, “This is part of my dowry. Afu, I hope you don’t mind.”
Chen Afu quickly closed the box and returned it to her, saying, “I appreciate your kindness, but this valuable and meaningful item should be left for my younger cousins. I can’t take it.”
Mrs. Zhang said, “I have more. When I got married, my parents furnished me with these items knowing that my husband didn’t have much money.”
Chen Afu still didn’t want to accept. She had heard that Chen Shi had no money, and their current home was bought from Mrs. Zhang selling her dowry.
After some insistence from both, Mrs. Zhang was almost brought to tears before Afu agreed to take it.
Chen Shi laughed, “Afu, just accept it. With your ideas, in just a couple weeks, our family has earned equivalent to several months of income. We even have connections to the steward of the Senator’s Mansion, even local nuisances dare not trouble our family now. When we have money in the future, we’ll move to a bigger house which will be comfortable for your visits. We’ll gift you golden jewelry when you get married.”
