Mother Sampson sat there for a long time, unable to snap back to reality, because she knew very well that her husband's words on the phone were not spoken in anger, and if Julie's future husband did not meet his satisfaction, he would indeed deny Julie a dowry.
What was most important to her was that, in Mother Sampson's heart, Julie was more filial and sensible than Jane had ever been, and had had a more pitiful childhood. Even in her heart, Julie was better than Jane in every aspect, which is why she felt that Julie should marry into a better situation than her sister had.
Julie should marry someone of higher status than the Black Family, a husband who was younger than James Black, better-looking, and more promising.
But at the same time, Mother Sampson also realized that this condition was very difficult to meet.
In the Capital Province, it was nearly impossible to find a suitable candidate that could surpass the Black Family.
