When Chiang Songhai heard Xu Lin mention this issue, Xu Lin's expression turned somewhat grave, and he said with his head bowed low, "That matter fell through."
Chiang Songhai had dug up so many herbs in hopes of saving some money for the Xu Family, so Xu Lin's engagement wouldn't be delayed too much. However, he had not anticipated that Xu Lin's engagement would already be broken off.
"Fell through? Is it because you're still short on the bride price or what?"
Xu Lin shook his head and replied, "We had actually saved up enough money before, but with my mother's health being poor, I went to discuss with her family if we could use the money for my mother's treatment first and make up the bride price later. They didn't agree."
