Wan Lifang earnestly said, "Father, you know our family's situation. Life gets harder every year, and if we don't have any income, we won't be able to continue our studies. With Miss Gu's dowry and the continuous dividends from Gu's Restaurant and Gu's Workshop, our life can surely improve."
Scholar Wan knew that his family was struggling. After listening to Wan Lifang, he pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "My son makes sense. Pursuing studies and scholarship is impossible without money."
"However... Father still feels unreconciled. Our Wan Family by your generation ought to marry an official's daughter, but now we can only marry a girl from a wealthy family."
Scholar Wan beat his chest and stomped his feet, lamenting their poor fate; despite efforts for two generations, they still hadn't become an official family.
