Wu Ye, a high school teacher in Zhumadian City, Henan Province, told Dahe.cn that if she gets married, her 90-year-old grandpa, who adopted her 28 years ago, will be included as an indispensible part of her dowry.

According to Wu Ye, her lonely grandpa has no children and can't live without her. She confirmed that she shaves him every other day and washes his hair once a week.

"Someone commented that it would be problematic if my grandpa lives with me after I get married," she said. "But I can't leave him. If my husband really loves me, he will accept my grandpa and I am sure I will meet such a guy some day."

河南驻马店的高中老师吴叶在接受大河网采访时表示：如果结婚，28年前收养自己的爷爷是必须要带的嫁妆。

如今90岁高龄的爷爷孤身一人，膝下并无子女，离开吴叶将很难生活。现在吴叶每隔一天就给爷爷刮胡子，每周给他洗次头发。

“有人说带着爷爷结婚是累赘，”吴叶说道，“可我不能没有爷爷。如果丈夫真的爱我，他一定会接纳我的爷爷。我总有一天会遇到那个人。”
