Old Lady Wei and her family stared wide-eyed, nearly fainting: "What did you say? Eight taels? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?"
"Wei Siya, you've really gone too far!" Wei Fugui slammed his fist on the table. "Doesn't your family earn over ninety taels a month? And you're only giving eight taels as a bride price?"
Madam Wei retorted angrily, "Eight taels is not a small amount..."
Sister-in-law Lei sneered, "Oh, so Fourth Sister has been bragging all along. Just like our family, we're poor too. But she's been pretending to be rich lately."
Mrs. Wei nearly vomited blood: "Who's a poor wretch? My family has shares in the furniture workshop, earning one or two hundred taels a month."

“Alright, 50 taels it is. But... you must tell everyone that my family gave 188 taels as a bride price.”
Wei Fugui's eyes lit up: "188 taels? Then you can really give me 188 taels!"
Madam Wei choked with anger: "No way. If she won't marry me for 50 taels, then I'll be her concubine! Not a single coin! After all, we'll tell everyone that I accidentally stripped her clothes while saving her, so being a concubine is a way of taking responsibility. Let her come or not, it's up to her."
