Chapter 297 - 297: Dowry



Jiang Qing looked at Zhao Wan’s partiality towards her, and was so moved that she couldn’t help but tear up.

Seeing the atmosphere build up, Zhou Lan, her biological mother, didn’t want to lose to Zhao Wan. She quickly pulled Jiang Xia out, taking out all the dowry prepared for Jiang Qing from her interspace.

After a simple arrangement, they returned to the room. Zhou Lan placed the items in front of her daughter, “Xiao Qing, when you got married, we couldn’t prepare a dowry for you. This trip is to make up for it.”

Zhou Lan presented embroidered cloth shoes, a new set of clothes, and a cotton quilt. These were items Zhou Lan had rushed to prepare on their journey, finishing only the night before.

Seeing these dowries, Jiang Qing could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself into Zhou Lan’s arms.

While these things might not seem like much in modern times, in that era, they represented the best a typical family could offer.

Furthermore, Jiang Chuan had plans. In that time, moving from a village to the city was not allowed by national policy, so he intended to improve their current village house.

Just like the communal house, he would eventually build a brick house.

Currently, their home was constructed using a mix of wood and mud. Since it was the dry season and it hadn’t rained in years, the shortcomings of the house weren’t apparent.

However, Jiang Chuan, when he was younger and lived in the countryside, knew that such houses easily became moldy in humid conditions. The mold could affect respiratory health when inhaled, and during heavy rains, the house would leak. It wasn’t a suitable living environment at all.

This was the primary reason Jiang Chuan wanted to start a business and earn money. Only by making money quickly could he build a good brick house to accommodate his wife, children, and the Zhang family.

In the future, he also planned to move his wife’s family in with them, ensuring everyone had a better life.

Seeing the harmonious scene of this family, Liu Neng felt a bit out of place and slipped away quietly after dinner.

Jiang Qing and Third Brother Zhang cleared the dining table, while Zhao Wan, Su Zhen, and the couple Jiang Chuan were discussing the village’s resettlement issue.

Jiang Chuan took it upon himself to handle this matter.

With only a month left before the national deadline for relocation, the family would first return to the village to sort out their household registration, then find a house for the Zhang family. Once everything was arranged, they would move.

Later, the Zhang family began discussing the division of the family’s assets, and Jiang Chuan’s family felt it wasn’t appropriate for them to be present, so they returned to their own house.

As they were about to leave, Jiang Xia had an idea, “Mom, Dad, I noticed that the Grand Cloud Mountain has richer resources than our area. Why don’t we take the opportunity to find more animals and seeds on the mountain? We might be able to sell them.”

“Great idea!” Zhou Lan was the first to agree.

Jiang Xia said mysteriously, “I had a dream. 1 dreamt of a secluded cave on the mountain, and it seemed to contain a Lingzhi mushroom!”

“Lingzhi mushroom?” Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan gasped.

It was a prized item. Before they had traveled to this time, they had visited a medicinal factory where they saw a variety of precious herbs including ginseng and Lingzhi mushroom. Zhou Lan had set her eyes on a Lingzhi mushroom and spent a significant amount to order one, which was to be delivered later.

Unfortunately, they arrived here before receiving the Lingzhi mushroom.

Given that Lingzhi mushroom would fetch a hefty price in later years, it was undoubtedly valuable here too. Perhaps it could be traded on the black market for a good sum. In the 1960s, a Lingzhi mushroom might even be worth an entire house!

Zhou Lan enthusiastically said, “Then let’s hurry and find it! I remember Zhang Ping mentioning a secluded cave at the mountain’s peak. That’s where he secretly made a rabbit fur scarf for Jiang Qing.”

Jiang Xia, seeing her mother’s excitement, quickly clarified, “1 only saw an outline in my dream and am not certain it’s a Lingzhi mushroom. It’s just a dream. Even if it exists, it might have already been taken by my brother-in-law.”

However, Zhou Lan was confident, “That’s not necessarily true. Finding a Lingzhi mushroom is about destiny. Now that you’re the heroine, you definitely have the protagonist’s aura. Maybe our family will strike it rich!”

“… Mom, this isn’t a novel. Don’t get too excited.”

“1 won’t listen..”
