"A red packet is customary for new marriages; you should accept it," Qingyue said.
"Then I'll gladly accept it." Auntie Gui, who had never seen such generosity before, usually received only a few copper coins for helping with makeup. Encountering someone giving away broken silver for the first time, she thought it was normal considering they were the richest family in the village and joyfully pocketed the reward money.
"Uh, Auntie Gui, could I trouble you to bring in a bucket of hot water and a wooden basin? Meijiao wants to wash her face," Qingyue added. She had already put on her makeup and naturally couldn't say it was herself who wanted to wash her face.
"I'll get it right away." After receiving Qingyue's money, Auntie Gui immediately went to fetch the hot water, considering it a small task.
Knowing that Xiao Yue only requested the face washing water for herself, Tao Meijiao approached her and said, "Are you going to wash off the fake spots on your face?"
"Yes." She nodded.
