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?!"

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."

"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."
