As soon as Grandpa spoke, the first to have a sullen expression was Lin Cuifen. She originally thought it wouldn't be more than a thousand.
After all, the other party is just a small worker from a small place. Grandpa should consider the person's status before giving more, right?
Moreover, this worker definitely entered the factory relying on Zhang Yuan's connections. He used to be a farmer; the whole family were farmers, and they would be thrilled to see a ten-yuan bill. If Grandpa gave a dowry of a thousand, the whole family would probably go crazy with excitement.
But unexpectedly, Grandpa started the offer at ten thousand and one! This left her dumbfounded, unable to react.
The first thing she thought was, if Grandpa could shell out ten thousand for the dowry when her two sons get married, then she'd have hit the jackpot. There's no way she'd give that to the in-laws; she'd put out at most a thousand, and the rest would be hers.
