Capítulo 134: Chapter 68 Lian Manman's Design_2

Lady He set down the melon seeds in her hands and started munching on peanuts from the Chinese basket.

"I came to congratulate Second Aunt," Lian Manman said to Lady He.

"What's there for me to celebrate?!"

"Second Aunt, are you still keeping it from me? I heard it all in the Upper Room; Second Brother is going to take a wife, and it's a girl from the town. Her dowry is worth at least one or two hundred taels of silver," Lian Manman said with a smile, "Second Aunt is indeed fortunate. I hear that girl is not only pretty and capable but also comes from a wealthy family."

Every sentence Lian Manman said struck a chord with Lady He.

"Manman, you've heard it all. Your grandfather and grandmother are somewhat reluctant," Lady He said.

"Such a good marriage proposal is hard to find even with a lantern," Lian Manman declared, "why would Grandfather and Grandmother not agree?"

Lady He pursed her lips.

"Why wouldn't they? They think the bride price demanded is too high."
