The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

Chapter 264: 1 Dowry

Old Master Jiang stretched out his hand and gently wiped the tears from Gu Ranle's face, trying hard to force a smile.

He said, "You promised Grandpa that you wouldn't cry."

Gu Ranle looked at him steadily, but her tears were like beads that had broken off the string, falling one after another.

Her vision was blurred by tears and she couldn't see her grandfather's aged face clearly.

At this moment, her heart felt blocked and painful, and she felt as if she was being pressed down by a huge rock.

Once people get older, there will always come a day when they will have to face separation and death.

But the most unacceptable separation in this world is to be separated by the Yin and Yang from now on.

I miss you but I can no longer see you, I want to touch you but I can no longer feel you, I want to hear you speak but I can no longer hear your voice.

Gu Ranle cried and completely lost control.

It was as if all the tears she had accumulated since she was a child had accumulated until this moment and suddenly burst out at once.

She cried so hard that she couldn't utter a word, her body shook uncontrollably, and she almost fainted from crying.

No matter how Mr. Jiang tried to persuade him, it was of no avail.

In the end, everyone in the room was infected by the sadness and began to wipe away tears.

The person hasn't left yet, but sadness has already hung over everyone's heart like a dark cloud.

Perhaps it was because she was too sad, or perhaps deep down she wanted to escape from it all, but Gu Ranle’s eyes went dark and she passed out.

When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.

She found herself lying on the bed in her bedroom, with Old Master Jiang sitting quietly beside the bed.

When the old man saw her wake up, his eyes were full of worry and heartache.

Gu Ranle looked at her grandfather and tears began to flow unconsciously.

How she wished that time could pass more slowly, so that she could spend more time with her grandfather and continue the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren longer.

But she knew that there were some things that she could not control.

At this moment, she could only hold her grandfather's hand tightly, as if this could keep this warm moment.

Old Master Jiang sighed helplessly and said softly, "How can Grandpa leave with peace of mind if you are like this? The weather is pretty good today, can you accompany Grandpa outside to bask in the sun?"

"Okay." Gu Ranle responded quickly.

So, the grandparents and grandchildren walked slowly in the yard for the whole afternoon.

They walked and stopped, chatting and laughing from time to time.

Time passed quickly, but Gu Ranle was praying silently in her heart, hoping that time could stop at this moment and let this warmth continue forever.

After dinner in the evening, Gu Ranle stayed by the old man's side, unwilling to leave for a moment.

That night, she stayed awake all night again, her eyes fixed on the old man, as if she could imprint his appearance deeply in her heart if she only looked at him a few more times.

Early the next morning, after the old man woke up, he urged Jiang Haisheng to go back.

Gu Ranle also followed, and Jiang Wanruo also went back with them.

Along the way, the old man seemed to be in good spirits.

By the time they returned to the Jiang family's old house, it was already afternoon.

At this time, the old man's children and grandchildren have all gathered in the Jiang family's old house.

They all knew what today's gathering meant.

Starting in the afternoon, the Jiang family's old house became busy as everyone was preparing for the family dinner in the evening.

Everyone has their own duties, and although they are busy, they feel an unspeakable heaviness.

Gu Ranle watched all this and felt mixed emotions.

She knew that this family dinner might be the last time everyone would get together like this, and they might never be able to go back to such a time again.

In the room, Mr. Jiang slowly picked up a household registration book from his side and handed it to Jiang Wanruo.

"Wanruo, this is your household registration book. From now on, you will be separated from the Jiang family. Grandpa bought you a property in Gucheng. If you don't want to live in the Gu family anymore, you will have your own home."

Jiang Wanruo held the household registration booklet in both hands, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably as she cried inconsolably.

Mr. Jiang went on to say, "Don't worry too much if grandpa is no longer around. Grandpa has asked your sister Lele to take care of you. Your sister Lele is a reliable person, and you can completely rely on her."

Jiang Wanruo nodded slightly, trying to calm herself down.

The old man continued to talk about a lot of things, such as things to pay attention to in life and the principles of getting along with others. Then he asked her to go out first, saying that he was tired and wanted to rest for a while.

Jiang Haisheng hurried forward and helped Mr. Jiang lie back on the bed.

Mr. Jiang was lying on the bed, looking at Jiang Haisheng, and said, "Old Jiang, after I'm gone, you can go wherever you want, don't put yourself in a difficult position."

Jiang Haisheng quickly said, "I'll go to Gucheng to take care of Miss Wanruo."

Mr. Jiang smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Haisheng waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do, so please don't be polite to me."

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of Mr. Jiang's gentle breathing.

The setting sun shines through the gaps in the curtains onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows, as if silently witnessing all this.

Gu Ranle walked into the house very quietly, like a kitten.

Jiang Haisheng saw her come in, smiled at her, then turned and left the room.

The old man was not actually asleep, he just closed his eyes.

As soon as Gu Ranle sat down gently on the chair beside the bed, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

"Le Le." The old man's voice was a little weak.

"Grandpa, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Gu Ranle asked with concern, his eyes full of worry.

The old man shook his head slightly and tried to sit up.

Gu Ranle acted quickly and rushed forward to help him up. She also stuffed a soft pillow behind his back so that he could lean on it more comfortably.

"Le Le, grandpa wants to ask you a favor." The old man looked at Gu Ran Le, his eyes full of trust.

Gu Ranle nodded without hesitation, "Don't even mention one, Grandpa, even a hundred pieces will be no problem."

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "If there really were a hundred things, you would have said that I, an old man, have too many things to do."

Gu Ranle tilted his head and thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said playfully, "It's really possible."

"If Wanruo meets someone who can treat her sincerely in the future and they get married, you can give this to Wanruo on behalf of grandpa. This is the dowry I prepared for her." The old man said, picking up something from the side and handing it over.

Gu Ranle took it and saw that it was a key.

The key didn't look anything special, and it wasn't made of gold.

Could it be that this key is an antique?

But when she looked at it carefully, it didn't look like an antique.

Gu Ranle looked puzzled and asked, "Grandpa, is this thing valuable? What is it made of? It looks like brass to me."

The old man smiled and said, "This is just an ordinary key."

"No, Grandpa, is this the dowry you prepared for Jiang Wanruo? Isn't this a bit... too much?" Gu Ranle widened his eyes, a little bit unable to believe it.

Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "I've put the things in your study. When you go back and use this key to open it, you'll know what it is."

"Oh, I thought the dowry was this key." Gu Ranle put the key away carefully. This was not just a key, but also a love and expectation of Grandpa for Jiang Wanruo. Then he promised seriously, "Don't worry, Grandpa, when she gets married in the future, I will also give her a dowry and make sure she gets married in style."

"It's her blessing to have a sister like you. Thank you, grandpa." The old man's eyes were full of relief.

"That's too polite, Grandpa." Gu Ranle responded with a smile.

Mr. Jiang smiled again and said, "Grandpa has also prepared a dowry for you, but you won't see it until you get married."

When Gu Ranle heard this, his eyes widened instantly, "Why don't you give it to me now? Just give it to me directly!"

"I'm afraid you won't get married." The old man joked.
