Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: You Are Not Allowed to Go Anywhere!

"Mother, you—"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dama felt a surge of anger tightening in his chest, nearly suffocating himself.

He knew his mother was unwilling to take care of his children simply because Big Girl and Second Girl were females. If, like his sisters-in-law, they had given birth to boys, would his mother have been displeased to take care of them?

But what about daughters? Weren’t they still his children?

"Enough now, what are you all prattling about? Let’s talk about the bride price first."

Lin Shanshen knocked the table fiercely with his tobacco pipe to remind them.

Turning his head, he looked at Lu Qiubo, calculation filling his old eyes, and the wheels in his mind turned noisily.

He knew that the Geng Family didn’t lack money, he had thought that twenty taels of silver was too little. But on second thought, considering Liu Yushui’s unwelcome status,

were they to press too hard, Lu Qiubo might just leave, and they wouldn’t even get the twenty taels of silver.

"Auntie Qiubo, look, my fine son here is going to marry into your family. These twenty taels of silver really aren’t too much to ask for. If you agree, then agree; but if you’re thinking of bargaining with me, you might as well look elsewhere. My place isn’t a vegetable market, after all."

Lu Qiubo was so exasperated she felt her head might burst.

This wasn’t a vegetable market, but she had never seen such outrageous demands.

"Alright then."

Lu Qiubo nodded her head.

"So, Auntie Qiubo—"

Lin Shanshen’s wife brightened up, thinking Qiubo had agreed.

But little did they know—

Lu Qiubo stood up, her gaze sharply fixed on her son and daughter-in-law.

"Three, Three’s wife, we’ve sat here long enough, and it’s grown dark. We should head back now. Let’s go."

With that, she left with Lin Baiyi and Yang Lin.

"This..."

Lin Shanshen’s wife looked on in astonishment as they departed, turning to her husband with confusion.

"They left without saying whether they agreed or not."

"This isn’t right. They left, but why did they take the eggs back? Mother, Auntie Qiubo might not have agreed, right?" Lin Family’s oldest daughter-in-law quickly spoke up, concerned.

If they hadn’t agreed, wouldn’t the twenty taels of silver be lost?

What to do now?

"Mother, you should chase after them and ask. It’s about twenty taels of silver after all!" Lin Family’s second daughter-in-law also urged anxiously.

"Then I..."

"What are you going to do? You’re not going anywhere!"

Lin Shanshen’s wife actually wanted to give chase but was stopped by Lin Shanshen.

"It’s all your fault, what do you need that much silver for? Wouldn’t ten taels have been enough? Now look what you’ve done, a fine marriage proposal, ruined by you!" he berated his wife, full of resentment.

"I... how was I supposed to know?"

Lin Shanshen’s wife felt she was being wrongfully blamed. It wasn’t excessive to ask for a dowry, was it her fault?

"Besides, you also thought that twenty taels were too few just now."

"I was only going along with what you said!" Lin Shanshen shouted back.

"Then..."

Lin Shanshen’s wife opened her mouth to respond but ended up muttering to herself after a long pause.

"Now she’s unhappy. Well, I’m not pleased either. To have my son marry into their family and deal with that Liu Yushui, with her vile reputation? Who doesn’t know what she’s like.

If our Dama truly ends up living with them, could life possibly be good? God forbid she leads my two granddaughters astray."
