Bu Ling slumped in a chair, staring blankly at Bu Yi and Liang Boda as they tidied up the house.
While tidying up, Liang Boda glanced at Bu Ling's expression and found it quite amusing: "Is it really necessary? Look at the way you look."
Bling glanced at him, then turned his back to him. What did this guy know?
Liang Boda got even more excited, threw down the rag he was holding, and sat down next to Bu Ling. "How are you feeling today? I mean, the Sang family?"
After a moment's hesitation, Bu Ling said, "It's very good for Sang Shen." It's clear that Sang Shen is truly the darling of the Sang family.
Liang Boda sighed and facepalmed, "I was asking you, how are you feeling?"
Bling lay sprawled on the table, looking languid: "Whatever, I'm not going to live with them anyway."
She genuinely didn't care. "Didn't their family say that they would separate after the wedding?"
Seeing Bu Ling like this, Liang Boda couldn't resist ruffling her hair, but after being glared at by Bu Ling, he quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, you haven't opened the red envelopes they gave you today yet. Aren't you curious?"
Upon hearing this, Bu Ling immediately perked up, realizing that his lack of enthusiasm for opening red envelopes indicated a problem with his thinking.
"Wait, I'll go get it!"
"Hey, put on your shoes," Liang Boda reminded her as she stepped barefoot onto the ground.
Bling gave an awkward laugh, went back inside, put on her shoes, and ran back to the house. She took out all the red envelopes she had received that day and placed them on the dining table.
"Brother, come quick, it's time to open the red envelope!"
Buyi tidied up the things the Sang family had brought and called out, "They've arrived!"
Everyone's here, now it's time for the much-anticipated red envelope opening!
“This was given to me by Grandpa Sang.” Bu Ling picked up the largest one, opened the red envelope under the watchful eyes of the two, and pulled out a small wad of cash.
The bills were all ten yuan each. Buling counted them; there were ten bills in total, one hundred yuan.
Bu Yi and Liang Boda nodded in satisfaction. The generous amount of money they received indicated that the Sang family valued their sister.
Then came the red envelopes from Uncle Sang, Uncle Sang, and Aunt Sang. All three of them gave red envelopes containing fifty yuan each, while the Sang family's older brother gave twenty yuan each.
Putting all the money together, it was quite a small stack. "A total of three hundred and seventy yuan." That was almost her annual salary.
Liang Boda was very satisfied: "The Sang family is quite sincere."
This is just a small gift, yet the Sang family is already so generous, showing that they really care about this matter.
Bling happily stuffed the money into his pocket and patted it contentedly: "I feel like I'm good again."
Liang Boda glanced at her sideways and said, "What are you dreaming about? This kind of thing only happens once in a lifetime."
Bling puffed out his cheeks and remained silent, thinking to himself, "That's not necessarily true."
"Alright, Lingling is tired today too, go and rest for a while. I'll call you when I've finished cooking." Bu Yi stopped Liang Boda.
Liang Boda fumed: You're biased!
"Old Liang, go and return the table and chairs," Bu Yi instructed calmly.
The next morning, Bu Ling got up feeling refreshed, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and changed into the red dress that Aunt Sang had made for her the day before.
"Brother, is breakfast ready?"
"Alright, come and eat. After we finish, we'll take Grandpa Sang and the others to the train station." Bu Yi brought out breakfast from the kitchen.
Buling gave a sweet reply, sat down at the table, and devoured an egg in a few bites. "Brother, do you think I should prepare something as a return gift?"
Bu Yi pushed the milk powder towards her: "You don't need to worry about this, your brother has already prepared it."
Bu Ling looked up in confusion.
Bu Yi ruffled her hair: "Don't you trust your brother?"
"I'm just curious~" Buling said, her cheeks bulging from eating.
Buyi didn't keep anyone in suspense: "I asked a comrade to get four ginseng roots, one large and three small, which is enough for the elders."
"Ginseng? Isn't that a bit too expensive?" Bu Ling
"Don't worry, these ginseng were sent by my brother's comrades in the Northeast. They live deep in the mountains, so ginseng isn't hard to find there," Bu Yi said with a smile.
Buling tilted her head. "Is that so? Didn't Sangs say that ginseng from Northeast China isn't common?"
"How much did it cost? Brother, I'll pay you!" Bu Ling said.
Buyi: "It didn't cost much."
“You tell me~” Bu Ling didn’t believe it; the four ginseng roots hadn’t cost much money.
Bu Yi: "Alright, alright, it cost two hundred in total. The big one cost one hundred and sixty, and the three small ones are worthless."
"Really?" Bling asked doubtfully.
“Really!” Buyi nodded firmly.
“Then I’ll go ask Brother Liang,” Bu Ling tricked him.
"What do you want to ask me?" Liang Boda pushed open the door and came in.
Bu Ling spoke first: "How much did my brother spend on the return gift he prepared for the Sang family?"
"Two hundred!" Liang Boda blurted out.
Buling: It really is two hundred.
"Now do you believe me?" Bu Yi said resentfully.
Buling smiled ingratiatingly, "Brother, I'm sorry~"
"Alright, hurry up and eat, it's almost time." Bu Yi wasn't really angry.
Liang Boda, a bit slow on the uptake, finally understood what the two were talking about: "Oh dear, sister, don't worry about it. Old Bu has saved countless lives. These ginseng roots really didn't cost much."
If Buyi hadn't insisted on paying, they could have gotten it for free.
Bling buried her head in her food, saying, "Oh, I know~"
After finishing their meal, the three siblings went downstairs together. When they arrived at the guesthouse, the Sang family members were already up.
Upon seeing the three of them, she greeted them warmly, "Brother-in-law, Lingling, you've arrived?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Buyi handed the prepared return gifts to the Sang family.
After some pushing and shoving from the Sang family, they had no choice but to accept it under the insistence of Buyi and Buling.
This is a process: the groom's family prepares a gift for his first visit, and the bride's family prepares a return gift; this is all customary.
