Chapter 395: Despised and Loathed

Lin's father has given it a good thought and Hu San has told him that although houses in Yan City are expensive, there are ways to get them at a lesser price.

There are always some deals that will make it cheaper.

They had discussed the marriage of their plump daughter and planned to give 30 taels of silver as dowry, in addition to a complete set of furniture and bedding.

All together, it would cost approximately fifty taels.

Lin's father was a bit worried.

If Shen Wenchen was still the same Shen Xiaolang as before, they would not have been so worried.

When their plump daughter was married to the Shen family before, they demanded only five taels of silver as betrothal gift, and their family gave four taels and six coins as dowry.

That was a marriage of equal social rank.

But now...

Shen Xiaolang became Shen Wenchen, the lord of Yan City.

Although their daughter is capable and has opened a restaurant, they could not afford to provide such a large dowry.
