Chapter 1079: Dowry

Editor: Henyee Translations

As Gu Dajiang spoke, his mood sank slightly. “You’re my first child. Back then, when your mother gave birth to you, it was difficult for her to give birth. The doctor said that she would never be able to give birth again. At that time, your mother and I thought that you were our only daughter. We wished we could give you everything.”

Among the three children, Gu Dajiang had always had the deepest feelings for Gu Yundong.

“I still remember when you were just born. You were a little ball. I didn’t expect you to get married in the blink of an eye. I felt… like I was in a dream. It’s unreal. I’m not capable. I didn’t give you a good life when I was in the old Gu family. Now in Yongfu Village, you’re the one who let the Gu family live a good life. Now that I’m already a Preparation Scholar, I’ll become an Elementary Scholar in August. I can more or less protect you.”

“I just thought that when I get the titles, my status will be different. I can still shelter you from the wind and rain for a year or two. I didn’t expect that kid to be so impatient. I…”

Gu Dajiang couldn’t help but lower his head and wipe the corners of his eyes.

Gu Yundong’s heart ached at his words. She felt both suffocated and warm.

She knew that her father had been trying very hard to support this family, so he had worked very hard. He had won the championship in the county examination and second place in the prefectural examination.

He wanted to obtain a title as soon as possible and shield her from the wind and rain.

Gu Yundong had always known that her father wrote letters, copied books, and drew drawings to earn money. He also worked hard to promote canned candy in the academy. He was silently supporting his daughter in his own way.

Although there were people in the academy who criticized him for being a greedy scholar, Gu Dajiang didn’t care.

He only cared that as a father, he still needed his daughter to work so hard to support him in his studies. He wanted to share some of the burden, even if it was insignificant.

He wanted to help Yundong more, but Shao Qingyuan cut him off.

This was what Gu Dajiang disliked about him.

Gu Yundong slowly took a deep breath and suppressed the tears in her eyes. She smiled and said, “Father, even if Brother Shao and I get married, you can continue to shelter me from the wind and rain. I’m still your daughter. If outsiders bully me, I’ll tell them that my father is Gu Dajiang. He’s now an Elementary Scholar, a High Scholar in three years, and an Honorable Scholar in the future.”

Gu Dajiang was amused by her. “You sure have confidence in me.”

“Of course.”

Gu Dajiang nodded at her before continuing, “I’ll get someone to calculate the date of your wedding tomorrow. We definitely have to choose a good day. As for your dowry, I can’t take out anything else. The few shops and the workshop in the village are your dowry. As for the house in Yongfu Village, the small courtyard now, and the few hundred acres of orchard… You directly registered it under my name back then. Consider that I’ve bought them from you. I’ll pay you when I have money in the future.”

Gu Yundong frowned. “Father, what are you saying? How can I…”

“You don’t understand. Women only have confidence when they have dowry.” Gu Dajiang bluffed. “It’s settled then. As a father, I’m not that shameless to take my daughter’s things for myself.”

Gu Yundong stood up. “How can you call this taking things for yourself? You raised me up. Isn’t it my duty to be filial to you?”

“Even so, you don’t have to do so much for me. If I take it from me, I’ll feel guilty.”
