Gu Xiuqi is Gu Xiuping's sister, whose wedding was mentioned as a reference point for the family's customs and generosity. When she married, the bride price had been 888 yuan, which Ye Xianya returned as dowry along with a washing machine as part of her trousseau. This generous gesture had brought great pride to Gu Xiuqi in her husband's family. Ye Xianya was determined not to be any less generous with her only son Gu Xiuping's engagement, which is why she prepared the substantial 999 yuan bride price for Wen Xin, hoping the two kids would have a long-lasting union.
