Going to Grandma's (1)

Mdm Lian looked at her and said worriedly, "Oh right, Lu Sheng, I have something to tell you."

Lu Sheng nodded. "Please go ahead, Aunt."

"Didn't your uncle say a few months ago that he would give a betrothal gift of five taels? It's just that your grandma had given the money to you previously. Somehow, the girl's family found out about this. Now, they've found your uncle and brought up the betrothal gift again. They said they won't allow her to marry him if they don't receive twenty taels."

As she spoke, Mdm Lian felt a bit embarrassed. "I shouldn't have let you youngsters know about this. It's just that your uncle has a boring personality. Everyone in that family is forcing him now. He can't break off the engagement even if he wanted to."

She thought that Lu Ran and Lu Sheng were not pushovers anymore. She should let them know about this.

"Can't break off?"
