"After the New Year, you will take Alice back to Country Y to visit Mrs. Elsa and then set the wedding date."
Feng Zhiyi chimed in, "My fourth brother is too slow and a bit simple-minded. He definitely can't go alone. It would be best if my eldest uncle and aunt went to Y country to visit Lady Elsa together."
Grandma Feng nodded in agreement. "Zhizhi is right. It's definitely not proper for a marriage to happen without the parents' involvement. It would be impolite."
"Boss, boss's wife, you two should go with them to Country Y to finalize the marriage of these two young people."

Despite his womanizing ways, Greenster takes his children's marriages very seriously.
The best and simplest way to get him to agree to Alice and Feng Henglin's marriage is to impress him with proper etiquette and betrothal gifts.
