The father and son went to the rear courtyard to find Mrs. Sheng.
Mrs. Sheng wasn't concerned about whether her young son-in-law's family was poor or rich. At her age, she no longer cared about such things.
What she cared about was that the man's family had good character. They shouldn't bully her daughter just because she didn't have a father to back her up, nor should they be greedy and try every means to get their hands on her daughter's dowry.
As long as they could do those two things and also treat Lian'er well, they would be the best in-laws imaginable.
"To be safe, we should probably tell them about Lian'er's situation before agreeing to the marriage."
Sheng Mingchuan held his wife's hand, his face etched with the vicissitudes of life. "Don't you worry," he said with a sigh. "I'll make sure all of our children are settled. I'll also try my best to live a few more years, so neither you nor the children will have to suffer any bullying."
