After dinner, Ye Erquan and his family went home together.

Ye Erquan said, "Jin'er's birthday is in a few days. Honey, should I or you prepare this gift?"

Wei said, "Me!"

Ye Erquan frowned: "You can't be stingy. Our family's good life now is all thanks to our little sister."

Don't worry.

Ye Erquan then looked at Ye Peng and Yinhua and said with a smile, "What about you two? Do you have any money? How about your father gives you a few taels of silver to buy them?"

Yinhua said, "No need, we get two taels every month, we've been saving it up."

Ye Erquan nodded in satisfaction.

Madam Wei smirked smugly. She was very generous, giving Yin Hua two taels of silver every month.

This was also to show Ye Caiping that she was generous, and that Jin'er would receive two taels of silver when she married into the family.

...

Soon, it will be August 13th.

We didn't have the conditions before, but now that we do, we naturally want to do it.

It wasn't a big event; we just invited everyone in the family over for a meal.

The whole family gathered together for a lively chat.

While cracking sunflower seeds, Ye Caiping asked, "Has Xuan'er's banquet date been set yet?"

Du said, "It's already decided, August 17th. We'll tell the villagers and relatives after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

I was worried that I wouldn't have enough money, but now that I have the dividends from the furniture workshop, I can invite not only one village, but also the nearby Huangjia Village and Xiahe Village.

Du said, "Because it's a large-scale event, we don't need our own people to do the work. I've thought about it, so I'll hire a group of cooks from outside."

"That's wonderful!" Grandma Ye exclaimed with a smile.

At this moment, Ye Jin'er, Ye Huan'er, Jin Hua, and Yin Hua came out of the room together.

Ye Jin'er wore a new red dress and a matching red velvet flower in her hair.

That year, she and Huan'er both grew quite a bit taller, and Jin'er was even as tall as Ye Caiping. They became increasingly beautiful and charming.

Ye Peng, sitting to the side, was completely mesmerized. He couldn't believe that the once sallow and thin little girl had blossomed into such a graceful and beautiful young woman.

Although Jin Hua and Yin Hua were among the most beautiful in the village, they were still a step behind Jin'er.

Mrs. Wei was quite satisfied; having her as her daughter-in-law would be a source of pride.

Mrs. Du laughed and joked, "Oh my, these new clothes are really nice, but you are even more beautiful than the clothes."

Ye Jin'er coughed lightly: "Auntie, please don't praise me, it's so embarrassing!"

These words made everyone in the room laugh.

Ye Caiping pulled her to sit down beside her: "What's wrong with praising her? My daughter is just beautiful."

Looking at her two beautiful daughters, Ye Caiping felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Grandma Ye said, "Before we knew it, Jin'er was 14 years old and old enough to be married."

Du chuckled: "Yes, yes."

Sitting to the side, Wei was filled with restless anticipation, fearing that Du would suddenly propose marriage.

She glanced at Ye Xuan, who was sitting far away, engrossed in chatting with Ye Yong, and didn't even look in her direction.

At this moment, Grandma Ye glanced at Ye Caiping and said, "Caiping, you're getting on in years, you should hurry up and find someone to marry. It's not about anything specific, it's just good to have someone to keep you company when you're old."

Ye Caiping's tone was somewhat perfunctory: "Mother, don't bring up such things. If there's a suitable one... I'll consider it."

Grandma Ye was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Hmm." Ye Caiping lowered her head, fidgeting with the wrinkles in her sleeves. "We'll talk about it when something suitable comes along!"

Madam Wei was taken aback, then said urgently, "Didn't my younger sister say she wouldn't get married when we divided the family property last year?"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Ye's face immediately darkened: "Are you even speaking human language? What, are you only satisfied if your little sister is all alone?"

Mrs. Wei's expression changed slightly: "That's not what I meant...it was before..."

What if my sister-in-law gets married?

While Ms. Wei was still trying to figure out how to smooth things over, Ye Daquan came over:

"Yes, she clearly said she wouldn't get married. Little sister, stay at home, we'll all stay with her! Don't go anywhere!"

Hearing Ye Daquan's words, Wei said happily, "Indeed."

"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Ye glared at them. "You're all in pairs, of course you'll say that. Is this kind of concern the same as that kind of concern?"

Ye Daquan, looking dejected after being scolded, said, "I'm just worried that my little sister will be bullied after she goes out. What kind of people did those matchmakers introduce last time?"

"Is that the same? Last time it was Madam Lu who was malicious and deliberately trying to harm people."

Ye Daquan stiffened his neck, still unhappy.

He hoped his younger sister would stay in the village, so that he and his sister could take care of each other for a long, long time.

If Jin'er were to find a son-in-law to live with her in the future, that would be even more perfect.

Seeing that Ye Daquan remained silent, Wei became somewhat anxious.

Ye Caiping said, "It's getting late. Jin'er has been waiting so long, let's hurry up and give her the gift!"

Ye Jin'er chuckled and hugged her arm, saying, "Mother still loves me the most."

Grandma Ye smiled and said, "This was delivered by your grandfather and me. Here, take it."

As he spoke, he handed Ye Jin'er a small wooden box.

"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa." Ye Jin'er opened it and found a pair of white jade pendants, small and exquisite, carved into the shape of a rabbit, elegant and cute.

Ye Caiping gave her a gold necklace with a jade peace lock embedded in the bottom.

Ye Daquan and Madam Du even gave her a gold bracelet.

Lady Wei pursed her lips and gave him a handmade purse.

The elderly Mrs. Ye and Du Shi Ye Yong and others were speechless for a moment.

Ye Caiping knew she was stingy, but pretended not to see it.

Yinhua's face burned bright red.

Ye Erquan almost fainted. Last night he had asked Mrs. Wei what she was going to give him, and Mrs. Wei said it was something very valuable.

This purse?
