In the Liu Family's main house, Fatty Liu stared at his third son, a bit stunned. 'He actually likes Juhua, and wants me to go to the Zheng Family to ask for her hand? Zheng Changhe has already reached an agreement with Zhang Dashuan; all that's left is for them to send the betrothal gifts. What kind of mess would it be for me to get involved now?'
Sanshun's mother sat to one side sewing a shoe sole. She had some idea of what was on her third son's mind and agreed that Juhua was a fine girl. But no matter how fine she was, she was about to get engaged to Huai Zi. It wasn't as if they could just show up at their door and force a marriage.
She spoke to Sanshun in a gentle voice. "Sanshun, Juhua is a wonderful girl, but she's about to be engaged to Huai Zi. We can't interfere. Wouldn't that just make things difficult for your Uncle Zheng?"
