The respectful offering of a son-in-law is nothing out of the ordinary, and Yu Yanmei didn't think much of it, taking the wooden box and softly saying, "You are thoughtful."
But as soon as he held it in his hands, he felt the weight was off!
This small wooden box was slightly larger than a shoebox, yet it weighed a whopping 300 pounds! What could be so heavy!?
Li Pei also noticed his master's abnormal reaction and was about to inquire when Yu Yanmei opened the small wooden box.
Gold has a very high density—one ton of gold is about the size of a microwave oven.
To make it look more impressive, people often display it in an openwork manner, stacking it like building blocks to form a small hill, so it appears to be more.
Lu Yao felt that since everyone was family, there was no need for such pretense, so he put 3,000 taels of gold in this shoebox-sized wooden box.
At this moment, the wooden box had been opened, reflecting a golden glow in Yu Yanmei's eyes.
