The Xu Family felt uneasy, but considering their daughter's disgraceful action, they didn't have the courage to ask for a high bride price. At the very least, there should be something to show for it; you can't give nothing at all, or the Ge Family would lose face.
The Xu Family felt this way, and Xu Cai was even more against it.
She believed she was no worse than Lanhua. How could her bride price be lower than Lanhua's?
Xu Cai had inquired about Lanhua's bride price, which was a full thirty taels, a sum enough to cause quite a stir.
That Yu Fenglin was just a blacksmith. Although he also ran a small shop, he had no parents or anyone to support him. Earlier, his family had debts, and he worked alone at blacksmithing. Offering thirty taels showed real sincerity.
