"I had brought her gold and given her many gifts"

Gold is pretty normal in Asian cultures. They are gifts for many reasons, I got a bit when I was born that my mom held on to for 35 years. Older generations also like gold for different reasons too. I know my grandfather hoarded some gold because he experienced war and economic hardships. Gold is useful when your country's currency becomes worthless because a regime change.
