From the cloth pouch the older woman handed her, Tan Hua took out a thick, bulging red envelope.
"This old grandma of mine is a bit old-fashioned. This is a gift for our first meeting, and you must accept it. Think of it as my approval of you as my granddaughter-in-law."
Tan Hua stared at the five 100g gold bars in front of her.
She was instantly dumbfounded and instinctively looked to her boyfriend for help.
"Take it."
Qi Sheng hadn't expected the old lady to have this kind of hard currency.
"Mom, you didn't spend all your savings, did you?"
Qi Zhizhong stared at the five gold bars, also shocked by his mother's extravagance.
"I'm so old, leaving money in the bank is just a waste. While I'm still clear-headed, exchanging it for gold bars isn't a bad deal."
Grandma Tan held Tan Hua's soft, white hand, her kind face filled with affection.
"Besides, our family's Huahua is so beautiful. On her first visit, how could I, as the grandmother, not give her a proper gift?"
