Liu Xinghe stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Liu Mianmian opening the boxes one by one before finally pulling out a jade bracelet from within and handing it to him.
"I'll keep the rest for now. This bracelet is quite nice—Brother, you should take it!" She paused for a moment and said softly, "In the future, when Brother takes a wife, this can serve as a betrothal gift!"
Recently, she had instructed Liu Zhi and Luliu to pay close attention.
She discovered that Mama Li was meticulous about budgeting while buying groceries and cooking, and that Mingming had a small coin jar that he often brought out to count.
According to Mingming, both his father and uncle were fairly poor, and their family didn't have much money.
Being mere captains with modest salaries, such poverty was understandable.
Additionally, there were many areas that required greasing the wheels, all contributing to the lack of money.
