Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Difference

Chu Lingxuan's idea was that Chen Ming should keep the 2,000 taels of silver as his own asset. He reasoned that everyone in the neighborhood knows that the Chen Afu is not Chen Ming's biological daughter. It wouldn't be right for people to think that he had raised and then sent his daughter to marry into a wealthy family, leaving him with such a significant dowry. This could provoke unnecessary gossip about both the Chus as well as Chen Afu.

Previously, Chen Afu had considered leaving Chen Ming an additional 2,000 taels of silver prior to her wedding to help improve his living condition.
