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

Gu Jinfeng was furious!

She glared at her mother, then glanced guiltily at her daughter-in-law who had come along, and then looked at her mother again: You old hag, you're playing tricks on me, aren't you? You don't want me to have an easy time, do you?

"Okay, okay!!!"

Seeing the mother and daughter fighting like ants, Chi Yue added fuel to the fire. Standing at the door, she innocently asked Gu Jinfeng, "Mom, do you have something to pass on to me too?"

Gu Jinfeng immediately stomped her foot and said, "Just you wait!"

With that, he ran back to the Lin family home.

Zhong Meixian watched her daughter run off with a "thump-thump," and said disdainfully, "What could she possibly have to offer?"

Wen Tang and Chi Yue were also curious.

Gu Jinfeng quickly ran back. She put a stack of banknotes in Chi Yue's hand and said, "Take this, daughter-in-law. I don't have any silver bracelets as part of my dowry." As she said this, she glanced at Zhong Meixian.

Feeling guilty, Zhong Meixian looked away.

After all, she was Gu Jinfeng's mother. If she didn't have a silver bracelet, it was because she, as a mother, hadn't done a good job. Of course, she felt guilty.

But Zhong Meixian quickly stopped feeling guilty. At that time, everyone was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, but her family wasn't poor. She hadn't given Gu Jinfeng a single penny, so it wasn't her place to talk about it now.

Thinking this, Zhong Meixian raised her chin again.

But he quickly stopped lifting it because he was angry.

Gu Jinfeng actually gave Chi Yue fifty yuan.

Gu Jinfeng gave all the money to Chi Yue and told her, "This is fifty yuan in total. It's all yours. Buy whatever you want, whether it's a silver bracelet or a silver necklace, it's up to you."

"Isn't it better than that old bracelet that nobody wants?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Meixian objected, "Who are you calling an unwanted old bracelet?" Zhong Meixian asked, hands on her hips.

Gu Jinfeng was not to be outdone. Originally, the Gu family had no sons, and she planned to stay at home and find a husband for him, so she had a fiery temper.

He immediately put his hands on his hips and said, "Whoever responds will be the one to be criticized."

"What's wrong? You're reluctant to spend money, but you want to act like a tycoon?"

Zhong Meixian “…you, you…” She pointed at Gu Jinfeng from a distance, but then turned around and went back to her room.

Soon, Wen Tang also had fifty yuan in her hand. "Tsk, fifty yuan, who do you think you are!"

"When no one is."

“Daughter-in-law, take the money and wear the bracelet too, so that some people will be envious,” Zhong Meixian said proudly, raising her chin.

Wen Tang also said sweetly, "Thank you, Mom!"

"Mom, you are so kind!"

Zhong Meixian's chin is held even higher now.

Gu Jinfeng, on the other hand, was furious!

She covered her forehead, feeling all the blood rushing to her head, and her head was buzzing.

Her head was buzzing, preventing her from thinking about anything else. She had only one thought in her mind: to fight for pride rather than for a steamed bun.

Her mother's actions are infuriating; we can't let her be so infuriating.

And so, Gu Jinfeng ran back.

Soon, Chi Yue had another fifty yuan in her hand.

This time, Gu Jinfeng didn't mention anything about "cherry-picking" anymore.

She couldn't say anything more. Even if she managed to win this argument, she would still feel suffocated for ten days to half a month.

One hundred yuan! The dowry I gave a few days ago was only one hundred and twenty yuan!

They gave her a hundred dollars right away, leaving her with almost no savings at home. Even if Gu Jinfeng wanted to say something sarcastic, she couldn't bring herself to speak.

She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would scream.

Gu Jinfeng couldn't open her mouth, but Chi Yue spoke up, and she quickly counted the money again, "It's fifty yuan again, Mom, you're too good to me."

"I made the right choice marrying into the Lin family."

Wen Tang looked at Zhong Meixian, who was also silent, with a pitiful expression, and called out, "Mom..."

The silent old lady immediately turned around and went back into the house.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue exchanged a secret glance, her beautiful eyes brimming with undisguised joy. She knew that her fifty yuan was now a sure thing.

Sure enough, Zhong Meixian returned quickly and put a few bills in Wen Tang's hand.

After Gu Jinfeng finished handing out the fifty yuan, everyone fell silent. After Zhong Meixian finished, she gave her daughter a defiant look, then snorted, her disdain evident.

It would have been better if she hadn't grumbled; once she did, Gu Jinfeng couldn't hold back any longer.

Her chest heaved rapidly, and she suddenly shouted, "You old woman, are you trying to pick a fight with me?"

She spoke up, and Zhong Meixian immediately puffed out her chest, expressing her dissatisfaction: "Who's picking on you?"

"Who's got a problem with you?" Zhong Meixian asked, bumping her chest against her daughter's.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue exchanged a glance, both of them unable to stand still. They only wanted to make a little money, they didn't mean to cause the mother and daughter to fight!

Wen Tang went to pull Zhong Meixian, and Chi Yue went to tug at Gu Jinfeng.

Both of them called out, "Mom!"

Wen Tang said, "Mom, don't be angry. If you're worried about the money, I don't want it. I'll give the money back to you. Please don't be angry."

Wen Tang immediately put the person on a pedestal with his first words.

Chi Yue also said, "Yes, Mom, it's good that you're trying to treat me well. From now on, we're family, and we won't distinguish between you and me. I'll pay you back the money."

Zhong Meixian's lips twitched twice, and she said, "No, I've given it to you, and that's it. There's no reason to take it back."

Gu Jinfeng also said, "Don't worry, I still have this much money. You can take it without worry."

As soon as Gu Jinfeng said this, it looked like the two were about to fight again.

Wen Tang spoke up in time, pulling Zhong Meixian's arm and saying sweetly, "Mom, if you really want it for me, you can't argue with my older sister anymore."

Chi Yue also tilted her head and leaned over to ask Gu Jinfeng, "Yeah, Mom, you can't fight with Grandma over this money, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Meixian and her daughter Gu Jinfeng pursed their lips, their cheek muscles twitching, before finally turning away in silence and heading back to their rooms.

They couldn't say anything at this moment because Wen Tang had already put them in a difficult position with her words from the beginning.

If they get angry and start arguing, it means they're not genuinely willing to give money; they're just being stubborn and unwilling to part with it.

If you're reluctant to spend money, isn't that just being stingy?

Which of them would be willing to admit to being stingy?

So all I can do is sulk.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue each chased after their mothers-in-law.

Wen Tang asked Zhong Meixian, "Mom, where are you going?"

Zhong Meixian waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to follow. "Go back inside and rest for a while. You go about your business!"

Chi Yue went to chase Gu Jinfeng away, and Gu Jinfeng said the same thing.

The two daughters-in-law didn't follow any further.

Gu's father and Lin's father seemed to be used to this scene. They didn't even sigh before carrying their hoes and going to the fields. However, before leaving, they said goodbye to Gu Yanli and the others, saying that they were going to the fields.

Gu Yanli and Lin Jingshen seemed to have gotten used to it.

Gu Yanli went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Lin Jingshen also went back to the room and washed the bed sheets that Chi Yue had changed.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue sat in the main room counting the money in their hands.

Wen Tang said, "You know, these two old ladies are kind of adorable."

Chi Yue smiled and nodded.

“If it weren’t for the female lead and her sisters, we two would really be considered to have married into good families,” Wen Tang added.

Chi Yue nodded with a smile.

"How about we just live like this?" Chi Yue suggested.
