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."

河南駐馬店的高中老師吳葉在接受大河網采訪時表示：如果結婚，28年前收養自己的爺爺是必須要帶的嫁妝。

如今90歲高齡的爺爺孤身一人，膝下并無子女，離開吳葉將很難生活。現在吳葉每隔一天就給爺爺刮胡子，每周給他洗次頭發。

“有人說帶著爺爺結婚是累贅，”吳葉說道，“可我不能沒有爺爺。如果丈夫真的愛我，他一定會接納我的爺爺。我總有一天會遇到那個人。”
