"Two yuan is no problem."
Peng Shi scratched his head, "I don't have anything to give her as a gift."
"Just ask Shujue."
Lin Jingyu shifted the blame to Yang Shujue, saying, "You know she has a lot of quirky things that are suitable for gifts. Just ask her to give you one."
Peng Shiyu nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Shujue for a congratulatory gift."
"Jingyu, what... what should I do?"
Chen Xinyue looked embarrassed, "I'm living off you all right now, I'm penniless, and I have nothing to give you."
"Don't worry, I'll prepare it for you."
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "You can pay me back when your brother sends you the money."
As for how much the food and clothing are worth, we are willing to support you.
We have a long life ahead of us.
There will be plenty of opportunities for us to come and eat and drink at your expense in the future.
"Then it's settled."
Chen Xinyue smiled again, "You support me now, and I'll support you in the future."
“Ouch~”
Yang Shujue heard this as soon as she entered the room and couldn't help but tease, "What a big mouth you have! I didn't know there was a rich and beautiful woman hiding among us. It seems we need to latch onto her coattails."
Chen Xinyue lifted her eyelids and replied, "If you want to curry favor, I'll be generous this once and let you do it."
Peng Shiyu and Lin Jingyu were amused.
Then I watched as the two of them started arguing.
Yang Shujue could never win an argument with her opponent, yet she still liked to provoke Chen Xinyue.
The two have played out this love-hate relationship countless times.
"You woman are really..."
Yang Shujue sat down and said angrily, "You always like to take advantage of people's kindness. I'm not going to lower myself to your level."
"No!"
A smile flashed in Chen Xinyue's eyes, but she retorted in a serious tone, "I hope you can broaden my horizons. You know I'm an ignorant person."
"Chen Xinyue, that's enough."
Yang Shujue rolled her eyes in anger, "I only told you once that you were ignorant, do you have to use that to argue with me every time?"
"I'm just telling the truth, how did that make me criticize you?"
Chen Xinyue raised an eyebrow and continued, "What can I do if I just can't forget that line?"
"You~"
Yang Shujue was almost furious, "What do you want?"
“It’s simple.”
Chen Xinyue stretched out her hand and casually said, "Give me a gift as an apology, and maybe I'll forget what you said."
Yang Shujue was so angry she almost jumped up, vehemently accusing him: "This is extortion! This is robbery!"
"Give it to me, or not?"
Under her gaze, which held a half-smile.
Yang Shujue had no choice but to admit defeat, "Fine, I'll give it to you."
He casually pulled a pretty beaded bracelet from his pocket. "Here you go, are you happy now?"
“It looks good.”
Chen Xinyue took it and looked at it.
I discovered that the beads were simply made by polishing pretty stones; they weren't particularly valuable, just delicate and pretty ornaments, with no real worth.
"Alright."
With a broad smile, Chen Xinyue added, "I'll take this as a congratulatory gift; it shouldn't be embarrassing."
"nice."
Peng Shiyu glanced at it and immediately realized it was an ordinary item, but it would be a good gift.
Lin Jingyu knew the price of the bead even better.
You can buy a whole bunch of them in the two-dollar stores of the new century.
In an era when decorative items are rarely seen, this string of beads is already a very good gift.
"Your gift is all sorted out, but mine isn't."
Peng Shiyu muttered something.
He looked at Yang Shujue and asked, "Do you have any more little ones? I have nothing, what should I do?"
“It’s simple.”
Yang Shujue casually said, "Don't you still have a red cloth? Just make her a wedding veil."
"A bridal veil?"
Peng Shiyu was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting this idea.
Lin Jingyu nodded upon hearing this, "That's certainly a good idea. A red cloth with a double happiness character sewn onto the headdress won't be too flashy and will be suitable for her wedding."
Peng Shiyu immediately made a decision, "Okay, I'll make a wedding veil for her."
Yang Shujue added, "Hurry up, she's getting married tomorrow, you have to finish it today."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Peng Shiyu stood up. "Don't go over to give the gifts yet. Wait until I've finished making them, then we'll go together."
Lin Jingyu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'll definitely wait for you."
"I'll be done in no time."
Peng Shiyu left quickly after finishing her sentence.
Yang Shujue looked at the person next to her, "Just a congratulatory gift?"
"Add two more dollars."
Lin Jingyu casually replied, "Since I've decided to give her face, a little bit of courtesy won't make a difference."
"Alright."
Although Yang Shujue disliked Shen Susu.
But they knew that giving wedding gifts was also a way of saving face for Captain Zhang's family.
Everyone here will be staying in this village for many years, so we should still give Captain Zhang face.
He immediately stood up. "Since I've made up my mind, I'll go to the front yard and talk to Qiuyue, and also to those male educated youth. I don't know if they'll accept it."
"Just tell everyone to do as they please."
Lin Jingyu didn't want to force anyone, so she said, "Everyone's relationship with Shen Susu is so-so, just let them give what they think is appropriate."
"Okay, I'll explain it to them."
Yang Shujue left without hesitation.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Jingyu asked, "The chestnuts are ripe now, how about we go up the mountain to pick some?"
