Junior Ms. Qian's face flushed red as she muttered, "What are you talking about? Father is not that kind of person."
She paused before adding, "It's just that I've been thinking, the number of people in the family is increasing, and right now everyone is united. But as the children grow up, naturally, people start having more ideas. Even though everyone knows that the shop was bought with Manbao's money and should be her dowry..."
"Yet as time passes, through the years, it's inevitable some might forget. By the time Manbao is to be married, we'll have to wait at least six, seven more years. I reckon that out of love for Manbao, our parents might wait even eight or nine years before marrying her off. By then, to bring the shop owned by father as her dowry, I'm afraid some family members might feel uncomfortable."
