Bai Ruozhu didn't know how much betrothal money the Yang family had promised to Guizhi's mother, so she used this roundabout way of negotiating. It seemed like the amount was probably no more than fifteen taels, which was probably why Guizhi's mother was not too excited when she heard the offer of fifteen taels. However, the proposition of twenty taels had a different effect.
Guizhi's mother didn't say much before leaving, but by the looks of it, she was already interested and probably wanted to discuss this with her eldest son. She was selling Guizhi to gather dowry for her eldest son, so naturally, she would consult him about it.
At the same time, the Bai Family had finished sowing their fields, and everyone thought they could start selling flatbreads in the town. However, Bai Ruozhu decided to wait for a few more days, at least until the matter with Guizhi was settled. She wouldn't feel at ease otherwise.
