"If you want to drink, tell your mother to buy a ewe too. Your second aunt's is for your younger brother."
"Mother, is it alright?"
Jiang Shaoqin turned to ask his mother, while Jiang Shaoning and Jiang Chutong also looked on with anticipation.
“Mother has no money; buying a ewe costs a lot of money. Your second aunt has a dowry, and your third uncle earns more; we can't compare. If you want to drink goat's milk, go ask your uncles and aunts if they can give you some.”

Jiang's mother didn't want them to continue talking, as it could easily hurt their feelings. When she was looking for a wife for her eldest son, she had considered many factors. The eldest daughter-in-law was good in every way, except that she valued money too much.
