Hu Xia said, "That year, the dowry my sister brought to our family was counted by me this morning and returned to her. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to buy a house. Today, my wife has already asked someone to help my sister purchase a house, so I am informing the gentleman."
He truly hadn't expected the dowry. After the engagement was settled yesterday, his wife came home and talked to him, even insisting on discussing a lot. Of course, the emphasis was on the warnings from the Zhou family.
His wife was afraid of the Zhou family, and in the end, it was she who reluctantly brought out the dowry. He was delighted, and thus he told Master Zhou.
