Xu Niannian and Jin Yu's sham engagement finally came to an end after seeing off Jin Yu's family of three and the matchmaker, Du Chunming.
Once the guests left, Niannian's young aunt, her second uncle and his wife, along with the old lady, also took their leave.
Niannian had made a lot of Liuyue Su last night, and had taken forty or fifty pieces back to her young aunt and her second uncle's homes, respectively.
The old lady thought Niannian didn't earn money easily and kept insisting she shouldn't take any.
It was only after Niannian's insistence that they finally took them home.
The old lady really doted on Niannian. When she was leaving, she even slipped Niannian some money.
Niannian kept saying no, but the old lady insisted persistently. Niannian, having no choice, reluctantly accepted it.
She thought that she would buy some tasty treats for the old lady when she went to the county town tomorrow.
