Zhu Cuilan thought it made sense and continued to ask, "Is that so? Then what are their family conditions?"

"You know her brother is in a hurry too. He said that twenty taels of silver is enough for the betrothal gift, and there's no need to buy anything else. As for the new house and new things, her mother doesn't care about that. But for the dowry, the ten taels of silver may not be returned."

Now not only Zhu Cuilan, but also Yang Donghu who was sitting next to her felt that something was wrong. She only asked for a betrothal gift without a dowry, and did not ask for a new house from the husband's family. This showed that she did not take the girl into consideration at all, and did not care whether the girl would be looked down upon by her husband's family after she got married.

After hearing this, Zhu Cuilan felt much more at ease. She knew that this was another family where the mother was selfish and did not treat her daughter as a human being. If this really happened, there would be chaos.

But Zhao Fangyu was getting older and older, and Zhu Cuilan was getting anxious. Although it sounded inappropriate, she didn't say anything too firm.

"Isn't this a bit impolite?"

Da Taohong could hear the reluctance in Zhu Cuilan's words and continued with her sweet talk, "It sounds against the rules, but not having a new house and new things will save more than ten taels of silver. Don't think her mother's request is excessive. It's because she really has some difficulties. If her son hadn't injured his leg, she wouldn't have been willing to sell her daughter. I've inquired about her mother, and she has a good reputation in her village. We should be understanding, right?"

Zhu Cuilan shook her head: "It's not about the money, I still feel it's a little inappropriate."

"Whether it's suitable or not doesn't belong to us adults. We should let the two young ones meet each other first. If they really fall in love, we as parents can't ruin their children's marriage, right?"

Zhu Cuilan wanted to say something more, but she was afraid of offending Da Taohong by refusing too harshly. If this didn't work out, she would have to look for someone else. What if she needed someone in the future? Making a scene wasn't a good idea, and Fang Chu would still need to worry about her in the future.

She sighed, nodded, and said, "Just meet him, we can't say for sure about the child."

Seeing that there was room for maneuver, Da Taohong put on a smile and said, "That's right. Well, I'll go back and discuss it with the girl first. It's not good to let her take the initiative all the time. I'll tell you when I have the news."

After saying this, he slipped away, fearing that Zhu Cuilan would change her mind if he stayed any longer.

"Wait a little longer, aunt? Have some tea before you leave."

Da Taohong disappeared like a puff of smoke, and Zhu Cuilan called out to her a few times but she didn't turn back.

Now, Zhu Cuilan was even more worried than before.
