"No need, there's no need to apologize. We're good sisters. I'm happy as long as you're alright. I wouldn't be angry with you just because you can't come back to see me often. I'm not that petty. This silver hairpin is too valuable; I can't accept it." She had seen Xingxing pay for it with her own eyes; it cost a full ten taels of silver.
"It's not expensive. My family is rich. This amount of money is nothing to us," Xingxing explained earnestly.
Chun Chun paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "Xingxing, although your family is rich now, it's all thanks to your parents' hard work. It's not easy for us farmers to earn money, so we can't squander it like this."
“Chun Chun, you are such a thrifty and good-natured girl. Any family that can marry you will be extremely lucky,” Xingxing said sincerely. However, “You forgot, besides my parents in Yegou Village, I also have my biological parents. My biological parents are high-ranking officials in the capital. This little bit of money is nothing to them. You can keep the hairpin. If you don’t, I will get angry.”

They couldn't afford to give an expensive gift in return.
"Don't give me any return gift. If you insist on taking something valuable back, I won't be friends with you anymore," Xingxing threatened and warned. Then she added, "How about this, you embroider a handkerchief for me. I'm not good at needlework, but I love these things. Embroider a bird on the handkerchief."
Xingxing thought of the snow hummingbird and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She picked up a pen and drew the snow hummingbird. "You can come to the village based on this drawing, but you must embroider it with purple, blue and yellow."
Pure white would look too plain on a handkerchief; it would look better with some color.
Chun Chun readily agreed, "Okay, I'll embroider it for you as soon as I get back, and I'll definitely finish it very quickly."
