Chapter 635: Chapter 633 I Have a Lot of Dowry_1

There was still some time before the wedding day, and Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia Ning, and Xia Aiguo were all preparing the dowry.

Originally, according to local customs, the bride’s family didn’t need to provide much for a dowry.

But there was no helping it, who asked the family to dote on Xia Ningxing so much?

They wanted to provide Xia Ningxing with a lavish dowry, so that no one would look down upon her, saying they were seeking advantages by clinging to the powerful.

They wanted their actions to tell everyone that their family was wealthy in its own right!

There was no question of climbing the social ladder or seeking favors!

Mrs. Xia’s family was preparing several stores with daily golden profits, as well as houses in various places.

Mrs. Xia Ning was preparing a variety of rare medicinal herbs, things like thousand-year-old lingzhi mushrooms and ginseng, along with various pieces of jewelry she had collected before.

Xia Aiguo slapped his forehead, "Speaking of jewelry, I suddenly remembered I’ve got some treasures hidden up in the mountains. Darling, do you have time tomorrow? Accompany me home, and I’ll give all these things to you as your dowry."

Xia Aiguo’s family had once been affluent too, but after his parents passed away, the family property was evenly divided among Xia Aiguo and his two younger brothers.

It was just that the times were quite peculiar then, and to prevent their fortunes from being seized, Xia Aiguo and his brothers secretly hid the assets they received.

His share was hidden in a mountain not far from his family’s old house.

Inside were antique jade pieces.

At that time, they were considered little more than broken stones, trash, but in this peaceful and prosperous era, they were priceless treasures!

Each one had a value beyond measure!

Using these as a dowry for his daughter, there was no way she wouldn’t gain face!

Her husband’s family wouldn’t dare to look down on their child then!

"Dad, you should keep those things for your retirement. I already have plenty for my dowry, I really don’t need it," Xia Ningxing hastily refused.

The dowry that Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia Ning had prepared for her was already worth a fortune.

"No way! I, an old man, have no use for these things, and I only have you as my child, if not you then who?" Xia Aiguo insisted on giving them to her.

Mrs. Xia Ning nodded as well, "Darling, since your dad wants to give them to you, just accept them, don’t refuse his kindness."

Helplessly, Xia Ningxing had to accept them.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Xia Ningxing hugged him, preparing to return home with him the next day.

Mrs. Xia Ning was going with them too.

Xia Aiguo’s old home was in Tom City.

Upon arrival, they didn’t immediately go to the Xia family’s old house but first bought a bouquet of flowers to visit the graves of Xia Aiguo’s parents, who had passed away many years ago.

"Dad, Mom, your son has been unfilial for not visiting you for so many years." Xia Aiguo’s eyes reddened, his voice choked with emotion as he brushed the dust off the tombstone and laid down the flowers.

He cried very bitterly.

Like a child who had lost everything.

The sight tugged at the heartstrings of Mrs. Xia Ning and Xia Ningxing.

However, neither of them disturbed him; let him cry, let the sadness out of his heart, and it would hurt less.

After crying for a long time, Xia Aiguo finally stopped, wiping away tears while smiling, "Oh right, Dad, Mom, let me introduce you to your granddaughter, Xia Ningxing. Remember how you always longed for a little girl? Now your wish has come true. If you were still with us, I believe you would have liked her very much..."

He said so much more.

In the end, Xia Aiguo took a deep breath, reluctant to leave, he said, "Dad, Mom, your son has matters to attend to and will leave now, but I will definitely come to visit you more often from now on."

"Grandpa, Grandma, goodbye." Xia Ningxing bowed.

Mrs. Xia Ning also bowed, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, we’re leaving."

"Let’s go," Xia Aiguo said, holding Xia Ningxing with his left hand and Mrs. Xia Ning with his right, looking back three times with every step they took.

The old Xia family home was in the suburbs.

It was a small western-style building with three rooms that remained imposing and luxurious even after so many years.

Especially after being cared for and redecorated over the years, it looked even more beautiful.

The three-room western-style building was perfect for the three brothers, one for each.

Just as Xia Ningxing and his two companions arrived, they saw several elegantly dressed men and women arguing.

As the others were in the midst of an argument, Xia Ningxing and his companions instinctively stopped in their tracks to listen to what was happening.

They saw a middle-aged woman with permed hair and hands on her hips saying, "I’m telling you, Jianren, I intend to adopt my son Chao to my deceased eldest brother out of goodwill. What right do you have to stop me?"

"Zhao Caijin, don’t think for one second I don’t know what you’re scheming. You just want your son to naturally inherit the hidden fortune of my older brother after it’s been found!" The middle-aged man opposite her glared, looking as if he could kill her right there and then.

He was Xia Jianren, Xia Aiguo’s second brother, and the woman opposite him was the wife of his youngest brother, Xia Laosan.

"If you had a son, you could adopt him out as well. We could equally divide the inheritance of our older brother, too bad, some people don’t have a son. They are destined to be the end of their family line in this lifetime!" The woman known as Zhao Caijin sneered sarcastically.

Having his sore spot hit, Xia Jianren cursed and hopped in rage, "Zhao Caijin, did all your mother’s family die? I’ll smash your damn mouth in!"

"You dare hit my wife, I’ll kill you!" Xia Laosan couldn’t just watch as someone hit his wife.

The two brothers started fighting, and their wives, seeing this, also began grappling with each other.

They were blood brothers and sisters-in-law, yet now they looked hideously hateful, wishing they could kill each other.

If they could kill the other, then their children would inherit their uncle’s wealth!

In an instant, everyone seemed to have lost their minds!

Xia Ningxing folded her arms and couldn’t help saying, "Could they be my dad’s two brothers?"

And the eldest brother they were talking about, was that Xia Aiguo?

"Yes, them," Mrs. Xia Ning said, watching the brawling crowd, and nodded silently.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

For the sake of having their own children inherit the wealth of their "deceased" uncle, look at how they fight. How splendid!

"Stop it! Enough, all of you! Stop!!" Xia Aiguo never expected his own brothers to fight over his money; he stepped forward and shouted coldly.

His eyes burned with anger, but mostly, they were filled with pain.

They were all one family, yet what were they doing?

Tearing each other apart!

As if they were each other’s deadliest enemies!

If their parents saw their brothers turned foes, who knows how heartbroken they would be!

"A ghost! It’s a ghost!"

The people who were fighting fiercely just a moment ago screamed like they were slaughtering pigs upon seeing Xia Aiguo, backing away in horror.

Xia Ningxing and Mrs. Xia Ning quickly covered each other’s ears.

That scream... it was overly loud!

It almost burst their eardrums!!
