After they left, Ping'er turned to Yang Ruoqing and said, "Qing'er, please accompany me back to the house. I have something I want you to help me with."

Yang Ruoqing stood up quickly and accompanied Ping'er back to Ping'er's house.

Ping'er and Huahua have been living in the guest room in the front yard of Yang Ruoqing's house. Yang Ruoqing planned to let them live there until Ping'er got married.

These days, the two of them are helpless, and Ping'er has such a beautiful face.

If they are allowed to wander outside, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Moreover, Yang Ruoqing's house has many guest rooms, which not only provides accommodation for Ping'er Huahua, the poor couple, but also provides accommodation for Yang Ruolan and Ahao's family of three.

Yang Ruolan and Ahao have been saving money in the past two years and plan to start building a new house in May or June.

But it is also possible that they bought those farmhouses directly in the village and then renovated them. In short, the family of three planned to move out before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Wow, this room is so clean, Qing'er, thank you for your hard work."

When Ping'er's grateful voice reached her ears, Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses.

She also glanced at the bright and clean room and smiled slightly: "It's not hard. Why did you come to me? Tell me."

The two of them sat down, and Ping'er noticed that there was really no dust on the table or stool, and she felt even more moved.

"Let me show you something first," Ping'er said.

She turned around and opened a small wooden box she had brought back. After opening it, she took out a pair of red lacquered wood dressing boxes.

This dressing box looks very expensive at first glance.

"This is the dressing box that Huahua's mother-in-law used before, and it was also her dowry."

Ping'er said, opening the dressing box with a snap.

As soon as the dressing box was opened, a burst of bright light came out from inside, and Yang Ruoqing squinted her eyes.

Looking at it carefully again, my dear, there is a box full of pearls, agate, gold, silver and jade.

"Here you go, this dowry is huge!" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but praise.

If it were all converted into silver, I would conservatively estimate that five hundred taels would be a bargain.

Five hundred taels of silver, in this era, is nothing to those princes and nobles.

However, for the majority of ordinary people, five hundred taels of silver is really a huge sum of money.

It’s like winning a five million jackpot in modern society!

"I am the maid Mrs. Zhou brought over from her parents' home," Ping'er continued.

"Madam's natal family, the Zhou family, used to be the richest man in Yuncheng. Madam's own mother is a concubine from a certain uncle's house in the capital."

"This box full of things is the dowry of the lady's mother, the concubine of the uncle's house."

"By the time my wife got married, the Zhou family was already in decline, and the Yang family was at its peak."

"The old lady was worried that she would be bullied when she married into the Yang family, so she bought an extremely generous dowry for her, including the contents of this box."

"When my wife married Yang Wenxuan, the master of the Yang family, the wedding caused a sensation throughout Yuncheng."

"It's a pity that later on, the Yang family couldn't survive either..."

Speaking of this, Ping'er suddenly realized that she shouldn't say that.

Because the final destruction of the Yang family in Yuncheng was directly related to the old Yang family in Changping Village, especially the Qing'er in front of them.

"Of course, the final downfall of the Yang family in Yuncheng was caused by their own fault and evil intentions. They do not deserve sympathy..."

Ping'er quickly tried to make amends, but Yang Ruoqing smiled indifferently.

"You followed from the Zhou family to the Yang family, and you must have some affection for the master and servant of the Zhou family. It's okay to talk about that. You can continue to the main topic." Yang Ruoqing said.

Ping'er nodded and continued: "Before the Yang family was completely destroyed, Yang Wenxuan was angry with Madam because of what happened to Ting'er, and even drove Madam and Huahua back to the Zhou family."

"Qing'er, you also know what happened next. The Yang family was gone, and the Zhou family also kicked us out."

"The three of us wandered and then got separated. Huahua and I were brought back by you..."

"This time the woman is critically ill and she came to us and handed me this box."

"The madam said she felt sorry for Huahua and couldn't protect her. She said she had been hiding this box, and it contained the dowry prepared for Huahua."

"Let me keep it safe for Huahua and give it to Huahua when she gets married."

"The woman asked me to swear, in front of her and Huahua, that if I didn't hand it over to Huahua, I would be struck by lightning or something..."

At this point, Ping'er covered her mouth and shed tears.

Yang Ruoqing didn't know how to persuade her. She felt sorry for Ping'er's painstaking efforts and hard work in raising Huahua in the past few years and was questioned by Zhou. She felt a little unfair for Ping'er.

But at the same time, as they are both mothers, Yang Ruoqing can also understand Zhou's tangled state of mind before danger.

Because he was Huahua's last blood relative in this world, once he left, he really entrusted everything to Huahua to Ping'er.

Mr. Zhou grew up in a wealthy family and grew up in an environment full of unpredictable people and infighting in the backyard.

Originally, I had a relatively clear view of human nature, and I also had an insight into the warmth and coldness of the world.

She trusted Ping'er and that's why she entrusted the box to Ping'er.

At the same time, she didn't believe Ping'er.

She may feel that a person does not betray because the bargaining chips for betrayal are far from enough.

On the one hand, he tried to impress Ping'er with the old master-servant relationship, and on the other hand, he made Ping'er swear an oath and used gods and complaints to restrain Ping'er so that Ping'er could treat Huahua kindly.

"Don't doubt people, don't doubt people. In the past few years, you have raised Huahua without any regrets, without asking for any reward."

"Just this move alone, in the eyes of an open-minded person, will definitely not question you." Yang Ruoqing persuaded Ping'er.

"But Zhou is different. It has something to do with her character and the atmosphere in which she grew up. She is used to guessing and self-protection."

"Don't take it personally, as long as Huahua believes in you." Yang Ruoqing said.

Hearing this, Ping'er's pale face finally showed a smile.

"Huahua persuaded Madam at that time, saying not to do this. Aunt Ping'er is not that kind of person, and she should be treated like her own mother..." Ping'er said.

"Huahua's words really warmed my heart when I heard them." Ping'er said again.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "As long as Huahua understands you, that's enough."

Ping'er nodded, "Well, yes, Huahua is almost ten years old, she is sensible!"

"On the way back, she told me that she didn't want the things in the box. She wanted me to dispose of them myself. If I sold them, I could buy a house or land. Let me make the decision." Ping'er added.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised by Huahua's suggestion.

"This child Huahua is really sensible. To be able to say something like this means that she has seen and remembered all your hard work over the years." Yang Ruoqing said.
