It was just a casual question from her, but Hu Liang's face immediately turned red.
"…It's a large sum… In town… it just won't do…"
Seeing him act like a lovesick boy, Ji Huan knew what was going on.
Widow Xie pulled her aside, unable to hide her joy as she told her the truth.
"…Now that we have some money, we want to make the proposal before the new year. After we exchange the betrothal gifts, we'll hold the wedding as soon as spring comes. You know what our family's situation was before; the Cao Family's parents were originally unwilling. It was Miss Cao who insisted on waiting for Liangzi, dragging things out for all these years… So we can't treat her poorly. You can't find anything good in town, so Liangzi and I are planning a trip to the county seat to buy some nice fabric and a piece of jewelry…"
'So it was a proposal after all.'
