It is my fault! Shao Sanlang struck his own head. He looked so anxious. What should we do? Brother, please help me think of a solution!

Shao Yunduan frowned.

Brother! Shao Sanlang got anxious. You can't watch me suffer just because you have married such a good wife! I even helped you drive away bad people in the past!

Qiao Xuan could not help but throw a look at Shao Yunduan, who happened to be looking at her. Qiao Xuan was smiling and Shao Yunduan instantly withdrew his look.

He could not make it clear to his brother about his actual relationship with Qiao Xuan.

How can I help you? The girl is good, but her brother and sister-in-law want 80 liang as the wedding gifts, not a wen less, what can you expect Mom to do?

Shao Sanlang was struck speechless.

Qiao Xuan was surprised too.

No wonder her mother-in-law did not approve of the marriage, even though the girl was good and her son loved her.

It was Yang Xiaoni's brother and sister-in-law who were the issue.

80 liang that was really too much!

It seemed that they believed Yang Xiaoni was the girl whom the man loved, and that their sister would be able to get a lot of wedding gifts from her future in-laws.

If they had only asked for 20 liang, then her mother-in-law might have tried her best to offer that.

Shao Sanlang let out a sigh of disappointment. That couple is just crazy! They bully Xiaoni every day and make her do all kind of hard work! They even starve her! Brother, she is really suffering from a terrible life. Oh, please

Shao Sanlang turned to Qiao Xuan, sounding hesitant.

Before he could say anything, Shao Yunduan said, Stop it!

Shao Sanlang let out a sigh of disappointment and said nothing.

Qiao Xuan got it. The brother-in-law wanted to ask for a loan from her dowry, and hence, Shao Yunduan interrupted him when he found it not to be proper.

Qiao Xuan had no intention of getting involved, but now she turned a little soft-hearted.

She asked in a soft tone. Brother, can you talk with Mom about having a talk with the Yang Family? Maybe they are just asking for a price randomly, and we can negotiate the bride price. No one else would offer such money either.

Honestly speaking, even if the girl is sold as a maid to some rich family, the price would be 20 liang. The Yang Family should know what to do.

Shao Sanlang did not feel that he was offended. Instead, his eyes sparkled. True! You are right, they should know that marrying Xiaoni to me is the best deal! Thanks, Sister-in-law, I will talk with Mom about it!

Qiao Xuan smiled. You are welcome!

Shao Sanlang smiled and turned to Shao Yunduan. You think I can make it this time?

Shao Yunduan said, I am not sure.

They could not predict what the Yang Family would think. His mother had been to the family twice, and the couple should know about his brother's affection towards Xiaoni. His mother's third visit would make things worse, maybe.

Shao Sanlang looked annoyed. Can't you say something nice?

Shao Yunduan sighed. Pretty words don't work.

Shao Sanlang.

Qiao Xuan chuckled.

As they returned home, they chopped the orchids and Qiao Xuan went to the kitchen, to make some more dishes.
