Of course, his daughter thinks Tianxing isn't that bad. As one of the few people in the nearby villages who made it out, and reportedly made a name for himself in the army, Lang Yonggan's daughter does find him somewhat attractive. Just the fact that he's disabled in his legs is displeasing, but she's heard he's quite capable with farm work, so it's not too bad. What's critical is the rumor that the state gave him a sum of money when he retired, and she's been fixated on this money, so Lang Yonggan's daughter agreed.
But yesterday she suddenly heard that a few years ago Tianxing had a mishap in the city, lost a lot of money as compensation, and now he's just a poor boy, so Lang Yonggan's family wouldn't have it. Nowadays, who doesn't want their daughter's marriage to be proud, with lots of betrothal gifts and such?
