When Lin Yue unwrapped the cloth bundle, she was genuinely surprised. She hadn't expected her grandmother to truly leave behind a few valuable items for her. Inside was a set of hair accessories made of silver, quite heavy in weight, and there was even a delicate gold hairpin and a pair of gold earrings.
Although these objects meant little to Lin Yue at her current standing, for the average person, even the dowry of a lady from a small city family might not include gold items, let alone the Lin Youfu family, who had to sell their daughters for Silver Coin to fund their sons' education. This showed that, although the family was better off than the average tenant farmer, they were far from wealthy. Mrs. Zhou probably possessed at most a couple of silver items—let alone a gold hairpin. Even a set of silver hair accessories would be enough to dazzle her eyes. No wonder the grandmother entrusted these items to her aunt for safekeeping.
