Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Chi Yue: You flatter me, you flatter me.

She finally said to Gu Jinfeng, "Mom, do you want the rest of the money?"

"If you want it, I'll take it out for you now."

Chi Yue's words were exactly what Gu Jinfeng wanted to hear, so why would Gu Jinfeng still mention money?

He naturally shook his head with a cheerful smile.

"No, no, Mom, no! What's given to you is yours, how can you ask for it back!"

She said no, and Chi Yue lowered her hand from her pocket.

She walked towards the main room with Wen Tang, while Gu Jinfeng and Zhong Meixian, carrying baskets, headed towards the kitchen.

Once inside the kitchen, the mother and daughter began to lift the red cloth that had been placed on the basket.

When Zhong Meixian took the basket from Wen Tang, she felt it was heavy, thinking that there should be a lot of things to bring back. But when she opened it, she saw that there was only one packet of brown sugar, and Zhong Meixian frowned a little.

There was a jar of food there. Zhong Meixian didn't mind that there wasn't much, but she thought the packet of brown sugar looked a bit ugly.

Brown sugar is much cheaper than canned goods, and Zhong Meixian thought that two packs would look better.

Before she could even purse her lips, she saw that in the basket Gu Jinfeng had opened, there was only a packet of brown sugar and two steamed buns with red dots on them.

Upon seeing the gifts from her daughter's in-laws, the old lady's lips, which had been turning downwards, suddenly turned upwards.

"Huh, why are there two steamed buns?"

Gu Jinfeng was already angry when she saw the two steamed buns. This was how people did things in the past, when there wasn't much to eat. But in the last two years, everyone's lives have improved a lot, and no one uses steamed buns as return gifts anymore.

At most, they would return the gifts from their in-laws, some more and some less; no one would use steamed buns to make up the difference, and besides, it was only two steamed buns...

But Gu Jinfeng remembered what Chi Yue had said: she hadn't been willing to buy anything to take back.

Gu Jinfeng took the bag of brown sugar out of the basket and shoved it in front of her mother, saying, "Can't you see this bag of brown sugar?"

Zhong Meixian didn't say anything, but she proudly lifted the basket containing the canned goods up a little, answering Gu Jinfeng's question with her actions.

Enraged, Gu Jinfeng covered the basket and went back to her own yard.

Mei-de Zhong Mei-xian entered the main room with a cheerful smile and asked Wen Tang, "Tang, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Wen Tang replied obediently, "I eat whatever Mom makes. I'm not a picky eater."

“Okay,” she said, picking up her basket and heading back to her room.

Wen Tang watched as the basket went into her mother-in-law's room and whispered to her best friend, "Oh no, we're done for. There's no more canned food."

Zhong Meixian wasn't generous enough to open the can and let people eat it. Nowadays, canned syrup is usually given as a gift. Keeping it there means she won't need to buy more if she needs to give gifts in the future.

Chi Yue patted her, "Don't be greedy yet. When I earn money in the future, I'll buy you some to eat."

"Bring a whole truckload, so you can eat your fill."

Wen Tang glanced at her best friend and said sincerely, "I think that the promise you made to me in this day and age is much bigger than the empty promises made by modern bosses."

Chi Yue "..."

She had to admit that what Wen Tang said was somewhat true.

Wen Tang tugged at her hand, "Have you ever heard a saying?"

"what?"

"Convenient delivery is worse than SF Express."

Chi Yue "..."

"Wouldn't it be good?"

Wen Tang nodded, "Yes!"

"That……"

Zhong Meixian sat in the yard peeling some peanuts; they were distributed by the brigade earlier.

More than half of it was used up at the banquet, and now there are still some left. She plans to shell them and fry some peanuts for dinner tonight as a dish.

Just as she was happily peeling the shell, Wen Tang and Chi Yue came up to her.

"Mom, are you shelling peanuts?"

Chi Yue chimed in, "Grandma, are you peeling peanuts?"

Zhong Meixian immediately nodded, "Yes!"

As she spoke, she wanted to say, "You two don't need to help peel them, there are only a few peanuts." The main reason was that she felt bad seeing so many peanuts being peeled.

Before she could even speak, Wen Tang asked, "Mom, what does that canned fruit in syrup taste like?"

"Are those pears or oranges in that jar?"

Zhong Meixian "..."

She looked at the two people in front of her. Perhaps they didn't know what the canned food tasted like, but they certainly knew what was inside.

It's a transparent glass jar; anyone with eyes can see it.

Sure enough, these two little scoundrels together can make a big scoundrel.

After Wen Tang finished speaking, Chi Yue chimed in, "You've never had canned fruit in syrup before?"

"It's so delicious!"

“Hehe,” Zhong Meixian chuckled awkwardly, sandwiched between the two.

"that……"

"Mom, do you want to open the can for me to eat?" Wen Tang asked with a look of surprise before Zhong Meixian could even speak.

Zhong Meixian "..."

When did she say that?

But Wen Tang had already gotten up and headed straight for her room, calling out as she went, "Mom, you're so good to me. I knew I hadn't married the wrong person."

"When you get old, I will take good care of you."

"I'll take care of your bodily functions, cook six meals a day for you, and serve you like you're in postpartum confinement."

Zhong Meixian "..."

She doesn't need anyone to take care of her in her old age, because she wants to kick the bucket right now.

She was so angry she was about to faint.

Pian Chiyue even chimed in with Wen Tang, "Grandma, your daughter-in-law is so good to you!"

"I wouldn't even be able to do that for my own mother."

Zhong Meixian chuckled...

She doesn't want to say a word right now.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue might have one good point: they don't eat alone. They actually found out about that jar of canned fruit in syrup and set aside half of it so that everyone could eat it together that night.

Because of the canned fruit in syrup, Zhong Meixian felt she still needed to be close to her daughter.

Look, all the new brides have formed an alliance. How can that old woman possibly win against them all by herself?

When Zhong Meixian went to the Lin family to find Gu Jinfeng, Gu Jinfeng was sewing clothes with a needle!

When he saw his mother arrive, he was angry and deliberately ignored her.

Instead of being angry at her actions, Zhong Meixian approached her with a smile and said, "Jin Feng, how about I peel some peanuts and fry them tonight?"

After all, she was her own mother, and she had even given in. Gu Jinfeng felt that if she didn't say anything, then she would be in the wrong.

So Gu Jinfeng nodded and said, "Okay, we have some peanuts left at home. I'll bring them over later, and you can put them in with us."

Seeing her daughter speak, Zhong Meixian immediately sat down next to her and started complaining, "Jin Feng, the feng shui of the old grave is really bad!"

"These two are not only lazy, but also gluttonous!"

Then, the old lady recounted how Wen Tang and Chi Yue, in a coordinated manner, ran into her room and took out canned food to eat.

Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so greedy?"

"How expensive is that canned food?"

“A can of food costs one or two yuan. You can buy two or three kilograms of meat with that money. Keeping that stuff there will be a good way to do someone a favor in the future.”

Zhong Meixian slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Who says otherwise!"

She felt it had to be her own daughter; those words truly touched her heart.

Then the mother and daughter sat together and whispered to each other, feeling that they still couldn't let the two new brides lead them by the nose.
