Upon hearing this, Butcher Yu immediately stopped laughing, glared at Madam Xie charging towards him, and said viciously, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Your Mo family has taken my silver."
"Whoever took your silver, you go find them. You didn't have a matchmaker, nor a betrothal gift. With nothing but your bare words, on what basis do you claim that my daughter has been promised to you?"

They had already moved out and even had their own household registration, which the village head had helped them with at the government office. To get that registration, she still owed the village head five taels of silver. And now they still had to suffer from their disaster; it was just too much.
