Chapter 154 Good News

"Alright, I have to go to work now! When are you two getting married? I'll definitely give you a big red envelope!"

Only after Chen Wei had walked away did Zhao Youliang, still excited, finally come to his senses.

What happened? Are you officially dating? What's the good news?

Unaware of the "arrangements" he had been given, Zhao Youliang was already on his way to the coffin shop.

Firstly, as is customary, I'm practicing with Old Liu; secondly, I'm sharing good news.

After Granny Wenmi and Shopkeeper Sun left, Zhao Youliang had come to regard Old Liu as his elder.

Upon hearing Zhao Youliang's good news, Old Liu was naturally happy for him.

Before imparting his knowledge, Old Sun asked a question.

"This..." Not only Zhao Youliang didn't know the answer to Old Liu's question, but I think many other people didn't know it either.

For thousands of years, people have simply been accustomed to the sacrificial methods passed down from their ancestors, and no one has ever studied why they do it this way.
