Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "I've just laid out the finances of our household clearly, how much silver Coin we used to buy the residence, how much Silver we spent on the shop, what the annual rent of the shop is, how much cash we currently have on hand, how much Silver we're preparing for the dowry, and explained why we're offering two hundred taels as a dowry. I didn't say anything else, and definitely did not speak to him alone."
Zhulan, "....."
Hehe, what you've done is scarier than speaking to him alone. No wonder he was so shaken. Zhou Shuren's cut was deep this time, and Chang Lian doesn't need to show off anymore. Two hundred taels of dowry isn't much compared to the family assets. Zhou Shuren's strategy was slick; not only will the eldest and second sons not feel any resentment, but he also made Chang Lian realize that the family could do without him!
