Chapter 928: Chapter 928: Sharing the Joy Chapter 928: Chapter 928: Sharing the Joy “Second Sister, now that your arrangement with Brother Wang is settled, I should give you a celebratory gift. This red fabric is my gift to you.”

There was also golden silk thread, which Su Yunjin brought out, “Second Sister, take a look at these silk threads too. You should take them as well; the shop assistant gave them to me when I bought the fabric. The assistant said that it’s enough to make an entire bridal outfit.”

Su Ningxiu nodded.

Mrs. Shen couldn’t help but touch the red fabric Su Yunjin had given to Su Ningxiu and said, “Yunjin, you are truly thoughtful. Giving your Second Sister such fine fabric.”

Su Yunjin looked at Mrs. Shen and smiled.

“Mother, I only have one sister, so of course, I must treat her well.” Besides the gift for Second Sister,

Su Yunjin also gave gifts to Mrs. Shen, “Mother, aside from Second Sister’s gift, I’ve also bought things for you and father!” She took out the items for Mrs. Shen and others. Seeing the hairpin in Su Yunjin’s hand, Mrs. Shen was overjoyed, “Yunjin, you even bought a hairpin for me?”

Mrs. Shen had never received such a fine object! Looking at the hairpin Su Yunjin had given her, Mrs. Shen was so captivated that Su Yunjin, fearing her mother’s gentle nature, cautioned her,

“Mother, keep this hairpin safe, and don’t be fooled into parting with it by Grandma and the others.” The Dao Family was greedy, and upon seeing such a hairpin with Mrs. Shen,

they would definitely try to find a way to get their hands on it. Now, Mrs. Shen was no longer as weak and easy to bully as she had been before. Su Ningxiu reassured, “Little Sister, don’t worry! Mother’s hairpin won’t be easily conned away by Grandma and the others.” As for the remaining shoes and gifts for Su Xiaobao,

Su Yunjin handed them over one by one to her mother and the others.

Mrs. Shen was beaming with joy but scolded Su Yunjin for spending too much money, “Yunjin, look what you’ve done, buying so much stuff for us when you and your husband-to-be should have only bought for your Second Sister! Must have cost quite a bit of silver, right?”

Mrs. Shen was unaware of the thriving business at Su Yunjin’s shop. Su Ningxiu, who had been there several times, knew better and told her mother, “Mother, don’t worry about the silver. The hairpin is a token of our respect for you from my husband-to-be and me, and you should just accept it.”

Su Ningxiu jokingly teased, “Indeed! Mother, you don’t know yet that now little sister and brother-in-law-to-be are quite capable. Since little sister is offering it to you out of respect, you should just accept it.”

After handing over the hairpin, Su Yunjin asked Su Ningxiu, “Second Sister, how about it, have you and Brother Wang set the date for your wedding?” Wang Meng had already given the betrothal gifts.

Yesterday, they carried six loads of various items to the house. In the village, poor families don’t have many formalities for weddings; they just affix big red ‘happiness’ characters, light candles, and casually set up a few tables to celebrate the union. However, Wang Meng’s family is wealthy, and he is the only son at home.

Over the years, Wang Meng saved all the money he earned from hunting and didn’t spend much. With ample funds, Wang Meng prepared the betrothal according to the customs of the town.

All the customary gifts were sent.

They sent an especially generous amount of wine, with six jars just for wine. Usually, families send two jars for betrothal. Wang Meng’s generous gift also gave more face to the Su Family.

The villagers watched the betrothal gifts Wang Meng brought and all envied Su Ningxiu’s good fortune, not expecting that after Su Ningxiu’s encounter with Young Master Wu, she didn’t marry below her but instead married such a good man. Many envied her, and some came to congratulate her.

Wang Meng sent a basket of sweets. Guests who came to congratulate were offered ‘happy’ candy by Mrs. Shen to let everyone partake in the joy. Those who had the candy all praised Su Ningxiu’s good luck.
