Grandpa He coaxed in a low voice: Baby, be good!

Chapter 175 Grandma Sends Dowry

In the evening, the sun retracted its dazzling light and turned into a golden disc, making the courtyard warm. Xiaomai supported her grandmother and strolled among the flowers and plants in the courtyard. She felt so happy. It had been a long time since she had such a comfortable life.

He Lingting looked at the relaxed and natural expressions on the faces of the grandparents and grandchildren, and was really reluctant to disturb them.

However, Xiaomai looked up at the sky, took a deep breath of the air in the courtyard, and looked at He Lingting, "Uncle, it's time to go back."

"Yeah," He Lingting responded.

Grandma stood in the middle of the yard, looked around, her eyes moistened, and sighed, "Let's go! I wonder if I can come back next time?"

"Grandma, don't talk nonsense. When you get better, we can come back and live here anytime." Xiaomai's heart skipped a beat. Did grandma feel that she was sick?

"My child! You don't have to hide it from grandma. Is my illness very serious? Don't worry, I have experienced many setbacks in my life. There is nothing I can't accept." Grandma asked, holding Xiaomai's hand.

Xiaomai mumbled, not knowing how to start. She and the uncle looked at each other, and He Lingting said, "Grandma, since you already know everything, we won't hide it from you. You are indeed sick. The doctor is taking care of you now, and you will have surgery in a few days."

"Is it possible not to have surgery?" grandma asked casually.

"No, grandma, you don't want to receive treatment, do you want to abandon Xiaomai too?" Xiaomai said as tears flowed from her clear eyes.

"Silly child, how could that be? Grandma just feels that you are too old, you may not be able to get off the operating table even if you are on it. Just let life take its course. Life and death are in the hands of God!" Grandma Jiang said as she helped Xiaomai wipe away her tears.

"Grandma, I just can't lose you. You must live well and you have to help me take care of the children in the future." Xiaomai said mischievously while hugging her grandmother.

"Oh, the little girl has grown up and is thinking about becoming a mother." Grandma Jiang teased Xiaomai, then turned to look at He Tingting and said, "Xiao Ting! Xiaomai has been following you wholeheartedly, you must not let her down! This child has had a very difficult life since she was little."

After hearing this, He Lingting took Xiaomai's hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry. We live in a society ruled by law now. Bigamy is against the law, and I don't want to break the law yet."

"What do you mean?"

"We have already obtained the marriage certificate. Xiaomai is my legal wife, and from now on, what's mine is hers. So don't worry." He Lingting directly showed the marriage certificate, and Grandma Jiang was also stunned.

"Xiaomi, why didn't you tell grandma about such a big thing earlier?" Grandma Jiang complained.

"Grandma, I'm still young and in school. I want to wait until I graduate to have the wedding." Xiaomai explained shyly. After all, she and the uncle had secretly decided to spend their lives together. Why did it feel like they had eloped when her grandma said that?

"Come, Xiaomai, Xiaoting, accompany grandma back to the house." Grandma Jiang took the two of them into the house.

Grandma Jiang returned to her room, opened her wardrobe, took out a mahogany box, and carried it out to the living room.

Xiaomai and He Lingting looked at her in confusion. What was grandma looking for?

Grandma Jiang opened the box, and the contents were clearly visible: a real estate certificate, a land deed, a household registration booklet, two bank cards, and something wrapped in crimson satin cloth.

Grandma took out the household registration book, opened it and looked at it and said, "Wheat has grown up, and there will soon be only one page left in this book."

"Grandma, are you going to kick me out?" Xiaomai said jokingly.

"How can grandma bear to do that! You and Xiao Ting have already obtained your marriage certificate, so of course your household registration will be moved to your husband's family in the future."

"No, I want to stay here. Okay, uncle?" Xiaomai said stubbornly, and looked up to ask He Lingting.

He Lingting pinched Xiaomai's nose and said, "Okay, as long as you are happy, or I will move here too."

Grandma Jiang couldn't help laughing as she listened to their conversation. These two kids were so caring.

Then grandma opened the red cloth and found an old item from earlier years, all made of gold. She took the item and handed it to Xiaomai, saying, "My child, this is a token of love that my lover gave me when I was young. I heard it is from the Qing Dynasty. I am giving it to you."

Grandma took out the property ownership certificate and title deed, opened them and said, "Son, this is the certificate of this courtyard. In the first two years, grandma has changed it to your name. Now it is your property."

Grandma handed all the things to Xiaomai, who quickly refused, saying, "Grandma, I can't take them. You should keep them for yourself. You raised me up and gave me a warm home. I already owe you too much. How can I accept your things again?"

"Silly child, grandma is so old, and you are my only relative. Sooner or later, I will give these to you. Now that you are married, these will be your dowry. Grandma knows that Xiaoting's family is wealthy, and you can't lack these things, but the rules cannot be broken!" Grandma persuaded earnestly.

Seeing Xiaomai in a dilemma, He Lingting said quickly, "Girl, accept it! It's all from grandma's heart. Your husband will make up for it with the betrothal gift later."

"Okay then! I'll keep it for now, but this will always be grandma's home, and grandma must be the head of the family." Xiaomai took the things and said to grandma.

"Okay, you have the final say."

Grandma smiled happily when she saw the little girl she had raised found happiness.
