Chapter 97 performs artificial respiration on Ye Cheng (around 1 to 3 a.m.)
Listening to the words of his uncle, Old Guaizi’s hand holding the teapot paused for a moment, "Uncle, Xiaofeng hasn’t said she won’t get married. It’s just that with her situation, most families won’t accept her, and she won’t settle for someone inferior. When the right one comes along, she’ll definitely tie the knot."
It’s certainly not true that she will never marry.
Xiaofeng doesn’t understand this now, but she will in the future.
Besides, if she really meets someone who treats her well and she’s willing to marry him, then that would settle it.
Uncle had not expected Guaizi to respond this way, "Alright, even if she wants to get married in the future, having a child before marriage is against our forefathers’ rules, and this could potentially bring bad luck. When exactly Xiaofeng will marry, or if she marries at all, is not of much concern to your uncle and me, but her having a child out of wedlock, this is something for which you must give both our families an explanation."
Without an explanation, this matter really can’t be dropped.
After all, it touches on the family’s fortune, and nobody wishes to take such a risk.
As soon as He Ximei heard the other party’s tone, she knew they were angling for a red envelope.
Given Xiaofeng’s situation and following the village customs, a red envelope is expected, but how much to give is a problem.
"Uncle." Guaizi also understood that they were at fault, even by the village’s standards, "Don’t worry, I’m aware of the propriety, and I will deliver it to you tomorrow."
