Gao Wen and Gao Cheng were having breakfast when they heard the commotion. Gao Cheng put down his chopsticks and headed for the door, but Gao Wen grabbed him and shook her head: "Don't go."
"Don't be afraid!" Gao Cheng gently patted Gao Wen's hand, telling her to stay inside while he went out alone.
"Who's the crow cawing at the door so early in the morning? This noise is unbearable, it's just ruinous to one's appetite. Better save your energy!" Gao Cheng said nonchalantly at the doorway.
The neighbors, upon seeing Gao Cheng, began to gossip.
"This is the young man Gao Wen brought back. He does look better than Li Ming, taller, and quite the catch!"
"He sure looks good, but does he have money? Li Ming's family is the richest in these villages, not to mention the dowry of 100,000 yuan. Which family can afford that?"
"Exactly, it's all about money. If this young man can't come up with 100,000 yuan, Gao Wen will suffer in the future!"
