The issue was that they hadn't even a proper betrothal gift. Wasn't this an embarrassment waiting to happen?
Seeing that Mrs. Liu went silent for a long time, Gu Zishan quickly nudged her and said, "Mother, if Hu Chun doesn't have any bad habits, please don't stop me."
Mrs. Liu saw that her attitude was firm, so she didn't try to persuade her anymore. Instead, she pointed to her head and said, "You... you'll regret this one day."
She paused for a moment. "No, we can't just let you go like this. I have to talk to your father. I'll ask him to give you some white potatoes as your dowry."
Gu Zishan immediately pulled her back when she heard that. "Mother, what are you so anxious for? We haven't even approached him for the marriage. At least, wait until the engagement is settled."
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment and nodded. She then turned around and left with Gu Zishan.
When Father Gu saw they had left, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
