Old Yu let out a long sigh, "We can still scrape together a betrothal gift, we'll talk about the engagement gift later. I don't believe that once the marriage is settled, the Qi Family would dare to call it off. Which family would want a girl who's had a broken engagement?"
Mrs. Cao was taken aback for a moment, realizing that her father-in-law was planning to cook up a done deal, ready to play dirty.
The engagement gifts demanded by the Qi Family were quite detailed: a roll of fine cotton cloth, a roll of pink embroidered silk, two pounds of white sugar, a big chunk of prime meat, six scaled fish, and a jar of fine wine, all of which the Qi Family requested.
The other items were negotiable, but good silk wasn't cheap.
Mrs. Cao said, "Mother, these two rolls of good cloth will cost quite a few taels of silver..."
