That was completely outside his plans.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chunfeng immediately said, "Fifth Uncle, 80 yuan is quite a lot for the bride price. Besides, this price was set by them, so it's settled. If you really think it's too little, then you can give the remaining amount to Chunxue, so that Chunxue can feel more at ease."
"As for the wedding date, there's no rush. If it weren't for the fact that the most auspicious day is in a week, I would prefer to get it sooner."
After all, even a day's delay could lead to unpredictable accidents.
What if they change their minds?
Lei Shan also tried to speak up: "That's right, Fifth Uncle, the date has already been set, so there's no need to change it. Besides, getting married in a week is just right."
"It's settled then!"
Hearing their conversation, Fifth Uncle couldn't help but laugh and cry. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Well... we haven't told Miss yet. I'll call her tomorrow and ask for her opinion before we talk about it."
"If Miss does not agree, then the wedding date will have to be changed."
Although he guessed that the young lady would definitely not disagree.
Liu Chunfeng immediately chimed in, "Fifth Uncle, don't worry, Yun Sheng would never disagree. She'd love for you to get married right away."
"Moreover, after we go to Chunxue's house to get engaged tomorrow, I will call Yunsheng and tell her this good news."
"ah?"
Fifth Uncle was stunned: "Getting engaged tomorrow?"
Liu Chunfeng nodded and said, "Yes, we'll get engaged tomorrow morning. After the engagement, I'll call Yun Sheng to share the good news. I believe Yun Sheng will be very happy to hear this news."
Uncle Wu was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but ask, "Could this engagement be postponed a little longer?"
"No!" Liu Chunfeng refused without even thinking. She looked at her fifth uncle and said, "Fifth Uncle, this matter has been settled now. Don't go back on your word. If you do, I'm afraid that Chunxue might do something rash or even commit suicide."
"After all, she finally met such a good man like you, and a good man she likes, and you agreed to be with her. If you change your mind, he..."
Fifth Uncle interrupted Liu Chunfeng, saying, "Aunt Liu, what are you saying? How could I possibly go back on my word? Absolutely not!"
"I'm a man of my word, and I will never go back on my word!"
Liu Chunfeng said, "Then let's get engaged tomorrow. It'll put Chunxue's mind at ease. To be honest, she's probably worried that you'll change your mind."
Uncle Wu was both amused and exasperated.
However, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say. But if we're getting engaged tomorrow, will we have enough time to prepare? After all, we definitely need to prepare some things for an engagement, right?"
Liu Chunfeng said, "You don't need to worry about that. We'll prepare everything for you. All you need to do is bring two chickens, some rice, and some rice wine. I can get these things ready first thing tomorrow morning."
"I'll also prepare the red envelopes and betrothal gifts for you!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Wu immediately said, "Aunt Liu, wait a moment."
After Uncle Wu finished speaking, he went straight into the room. Soon after, he came out again and handed a wad of cash to Liu Chunfeng, saying, "Aunt Liu, this is 200 yuan. Please use it to make some money."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chunfeng immediately said, "This is too much; we don't need that much."
Fifth Uncle said, "It's alright, consider the extra money as my food expenses."
Liu Chunfeng said, both amused and exasperated, "Fifth Uncle, how could we possibly accept your food expenses? You're here to protect us; we'd already feel bad if we didn't give you money."
"How about this, I can just take out the extras and use them for the wedding banquet, what do you think?"
Fifth Uncle nodded and said, "That's fine. If it's not enough, I'll give you more. Don't be shy with me. I don't have a lot of money, but I do have some."
After all, he had always served the Fu family patriarch and was the patriarch's most trusted person, so the rewards he received were naturally beyond what others could imagine.
That's exactly right.
He really doesn't lack money.
