 Chapter 395: Song Lu's Attitude

"We are all women, so let's understand and be considerate of each other. Sister also has a daughter and you must surely comprehend a mother's caring heart." Zhang was articulate, leaving Huang Shi unable to resist.


"Ah Lu, how do you see this matter?" Huang Shi took a deep breath barely maintaining her composure. She had to bring Song Lu into the conversation, she simply couldn't contend with Zhang. Everyone present here was from the Chu family and she felt a bit wronged in her heart.


Song Lu sighed helplessly in his heart and finally said, "Mother, I don't want to make things difficult for you, nor do I want to treat Qingxiang unfairly. Since it's a marriage alliance, it's about establishing good relations between two families. There's no need for any estrangement over two taels of silver."


Huang Shi's face turned red and she looked at Song Lu with accusing eyes. She was thinking, 'Is it her intention to make things difficult for the other side? Clearly, it's the Chu family being too excessive, demanding so much.'


This betrothal money was already considered quite generous in the village. In her own marriage, she received only a piece of cloth and two pieces of clothing. The subsequent days were still lived well. Why did they need so much betrothal money?


Adding up the expenses for the banquet and other items, it would cost six to seven taels of silver, which could build three or four rooms. In the Song family, bringing out this amount of money would practically deplete their savings.


Hearing her son speak like this, Huang Shi even felt that she was treating Chu Qingxiang unfairly. A sense of anger welled up in her heart.


Song Lu continued, "Mother, I promise, even if we change the betrothal money to six taels, I will go and earn back the remaining two taels before the wedding to make up for it."


Hearing this, Zhang instantly smiled broadly. "I knew Ah Lu was sensible. This is Qingxiang's first marriage and we just want it to look good. The groom values it, old sister, look this child can understand both you and me. He's a good kid."


Huang Shi forced a smile. She knew her son was a good kid, otherwise how could he have achieved success as a scholar?


In fact, the silver used for their family's marriage mainly came from her son.


However, since the Song family hadn't split and there were still so many younger generations, she had long been used to considering the silver her son contributed as her own.


Zhang could see that she was unhappy, but originally, she was interested in Song Lu himself. She didn't have much feeling towards the Song family. With her presence, the Song family wouldn't dare to openly bully Qingxiang, right?


Since they wouldn't dare to bully Qingxiang openly, privately, with Qingxiang's abilities, she would always have the upper hand.


Moreover, Song Lu had a good attitude. How could she not be pleased? Thus, she warmly entertained them.


Seeing her son Song Lu getting along so well with Zhang, Huang Shi felt even more bitter. At the same time she became a bit worried. Looking at her son's current attitude, would he still give money to the family after getting married?


Now, seeing the future mother-in-law's strong attitude, she instantly had an ominous premonition and even felt a hint of regret. If she had known that her son's reputation was so good now, she should have chosen a girl from a weaker family.


Chu Liushi had been watching from the side all along, so she captured Huang Shi's changing expressions. She picked up her tea cup and took the initiative to speak to Huang Shi, "Huang Shi, as an elder I rarely interfere in the affairs of the younger generation."


"However, Zhang did speak with a bad tone just now. I apologize on her behalf."


Huang Shi, upon hearing this felt somewhat apprehensive. She had long heard about Chu Liushi's capabilities and she wasn't someone easy to deal with.


"Sister, please don't be so polite. Sister, you must understand a mother's heart..."


Chu Liushi interrupted her, "Huang Shi, I just want to say that Zhang spoke rudely earlier. I hope you won't take it to heart. After all, these are matters between the younger generation."
