It was Ben who had come to send Sofia the dowry Zeke has ordered.
Joshua got excited at the sight of Ben. “It's Ben, the person in charge of this project. I get it now. My friend in the project department said he would give me a mysterious gift. I guess Ben being here is his mysterious gift for me. Do you see it, Sofia? No amount of money can buy Ben's presence at our engagement. It's a precious gift.”
Sofia was sceptical as she wondered, Was Ben really invited over by Joshua? Does he need to come here by helicopter to give us his blessing? Isn't Joshua a mere contractor? How did he manage to get Ben to come over?
When the villagers heard that the two helicopters were also here because of Joshua, they became even more excited. They surrounded him and began to shower him with compliments.
As long as Joshua put in a good word for us with Ben, we can live an easy life for the rest of our life!
Therefore, they were determined to ride on Joshua's coattails.
Joshua pushed the villagers away and said, “Go away, I'm going to welcome Ben.”

Having said that, the things Ben sent should be wedding gifts as he was representing Joshua's side.
Why did he say dowry?
Only the gift from the bride's family was called dowry.
Meanwhile, Sofia's mind was already in a whirl. “Mr. Williams, you said someone asked you to send me a dowry... Who is it?”
“You'll find out soon.” Ben smiled faintly.
With a wave of his hand, the group of men in suits immediately stood in a row, with each of them holding a gift box.
Ben proceeded to announce in a loud voice, “A diamond necklace set. A pair of platinum earrings. A pair of crystal high heels. A thousand kilograms of gold bars.”
Silence ensued as the excited crowd quietened down. Everyone was gaping in amazement.
It's a dream!
We must be dreaming!

Ben had originally wanted to gift her a luxury car, but a luxury car would have been covered in mud by the time it reached here. Hence, after giving it some thought, he had replaced it with a jet.
Whoa!
