Chapter 590: If you buy it for 590, will you regret it later?
Not far from the shop, the Wang Family sister-in-law who had once discussed marriage with Ye Gaosheng sighed helplessly as she watched her daughter stand beside her, "Fengfeng, do you see? That’s the Ye Family’s fourth son. Nowadays, when he goes out, everyone has to give him face and call him ’Fourth Master.’ They’ve just built a big house that covers an area of two acres. They even have over ten horses. In our village, if someone says they’re second, no one would dare claim they’re first."
At first, when the mother and daughter wanted to back out of the match, she had told them to take it slow, because she understood that the Helms would not easily agree to a split in the family, not to mention there was still Ye Gaosheng who hadn’t gotten married.
But this family was incredibly stubborn, thinking that a split meant the family elders were incompetent and fearing that their daughter would be mistreated if she married in.
Now, compared to Ye Gaosheng, who had once discussed marriage, she found herself in an awkward position, neither here nor there. She was almost 17, a grown girl, and yet her marriage had still not been arranged.
True, Ye Gaosheng was also 17, but there’s a difference between men and women after all. For men, marrying late can be seen as striving for a career, but for women, being late means they might not marry at all.
After all, a girl’s youth only lasts so many years; once missed, it can never be reclaimed.
At the same time, the girl known as Fengfeng watched the bustling shopfront with tears in her eyes, while her mother’s face turned red with embarrassment.
They had just barely discussed the marriage, hadn’t even met face to face or exchanged birth charts or wedding tokens. In such cases, backing out wasn’t considered a big deal.
But now that Ye Gaosheng had become so outstanding, reaching a level beyond their reach, it made her regret all the more how blind she had been before.
Especially when looking at the Ye Family members who had just entered, commanding servants with ease and receiving respect from others, she realized it was something she could have had as well.
