The betrothal, which involved the groom's family presenting gifts to the bride's family, went over as a smooth process from start to finish. The Liu family naturally didn't slack about anything and had prepared the finest gifts for the Ren family to acknowledge the efforts and love in raising their daughter.
The bride's family would then present dowry gifts for the groom's family, which generally consisted of some very practical items for their daughter to be able to live and settle comfortably in her new house. These two traditions were usually followed on separate days but they decided to have both rituals together.
Liu Hai, who definitely wanted to share his commentary on the groom's side of gifts, couldn't participate at all to his disappointment. Instead, he was made to face the pillar and reflect on his actions.
"I-I want to look at the gifts too!"
"You are only looking at the pillar," Liu Chunhua shot him down.
