Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Who Knows These Things

It could be said that Meng Xinian’s appearance was unexpected.

The engagement was just as unexpected.

Otherwise, Chiang Songhai would have waited until Chiang Xiao turned eighteen before giving them to her.

In her past life, Chiang Xiao didn’t know about these things because no fiancé had appeared before she turned eighteen, and she ran off with Deng Qingjiang without looking back, leaving while Chiang Songhai was out.

At that time, Chiang Xiao feared they would stop her from leaving Siyang Village, so she didn’t give them a chance to say goodbye.

So Chiang Xiao of her previous life never had the chance to know about these things.

Chiang Songhai was afraid Meng Xinian wouldn’t accept them, so he pushed the items onto Chiang Xiao, who, clueless, took them for real.

He had planned to talk to Chiang Xiao about it in the evening, but since she had already found them, he decided to clear things up with her right away.

”Little, your grandparents are already one foot in the grave, and we have no use for these things. Thus, what’s left is all yours. Now that you’ve grown up and become sensible, I’m giving these to you now for you to keep. Make sure you get Meng Xi to accept his share, understand?”

As he spoke, Chiang Songhai shut the box and handed it to Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao’s throat tightened, slightly astringent, with her eyes beginning to turn red.

No matter how overindulgent Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were, they truly doted on her.

All these years, they had led such hard lives, yet they were intent on leaving these things for her.

The sole purpose of giving Meng Xinian that valuable ring was for the sake of her standing tall in the Meng Family, to hold her head high, without feeling inferior.

In Chiang Songhai’s view, with a return gift worth over ten thousand, her marriage was certainly not about taking advantage of the past.

He hoped her future in-laws would value her more as well.

The elderly might not be worldly, but their intentions were sincere.

Although, if the Meng Family was really as illustrious as they imagined, they might not value an old, modest ring, and her status and family background couldn’t be elevated by a single ring, yet this was the greatest extent they could plan for her and their utmost effort.

”Grandpa...” Chiang Xiao didn’t know what to say for a moment, holding onto the box, she suddenly thought of something and blurted out, ”Does Liu Caiyun know you have this box of treasures?”

”Ah?”

Chiang Songhai, hearing her voice choked up, thought she was about to cry, but he was caught off guard when she changed the subject so abruptly.

”Liu Caiyun, Widow Liu, does she know about these things?”

Clutching the box, Chiang Xiao suddenly thought of this. She had always been puzzled about why Liu Caiyun went to such lengths to entangle herself with her grandfather. If Liu Caiyun knew about these things, it wouldn’t be surprising.

But could Chiang Songhai be that foolish as to not comprehend that wealth should be kept hidden?

Sure enough, Chiang Songhai shook his head and said, ”How would she know? I’ve even kept it from your great-uncle.”

Considering that for decades, Chiang Songhai had almost given away everything that belonged to the Old Chiang Family, his reverence for his older brother and managing to keep these things hidden were quite remarkable.

Ho Laidi, Song Xiyun, and others naturally didn’t know either, otherwise they would have dug them out long ago, and it would be generous just to leave him an empty box.

How could Liu Caiyun, an outsider, possibly know?

”Uncle Hai, Little, De Jun and the others are heading back,” Ge Liutao’s voice came from outside the door.
