Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: You Probably Can’t Fit into My Clothes.

Shen Mianmian caught the hint in Zhu Yun’s words, put down the book she was holding, and deliberately asked, "So how much do you think is appropriate to give?"

Zhu Yun: "..."

She obviously didn’t want to give anything.

Thinking this in her heart, Zhu Yun didn’t feel it was nice to say it out loud. With an awkward smile, she said, "Isn’t that why I’m asking you? How much do you think is appropriate? Of course, our family’s circumstances are different from yours; we certainly can’t compare to Yang Xiaoxi or your brother. We can’t afford to give you a house; we don’t even have a nice house ourselves."

"It’s my first time encountering someone asking the bridal couple how much to give for the wedding," Shen Mianmian said with a light smile. "How about this! Why don’t you go back and discuss it with your husband and give whatever amount he says."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun immediately replied, "If I discuss it with him, he’d prefer not to give anything at all. Let me tell you, my husband is really stingy. The last time my dad came over, I bought a little extra meat and he sulked when he got home. Apart from being generous with gambling, he doesn’t want to spend a penny on anything else. He wishes he wouldn’t have to spend at all."

Zhu Yun didn’t mince words when talking about her man’s flaws.

"It’s okay not to give anything. Just come and have a meal, to enjoy the lively atmosphere." Shen Mianmian wasn’t a stranger to Zhu Yun coming over for a meal now and then, and now that it was about having a good time at the wedding, she cared even less about that one meal.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Mianmian, I knew you are generous and wouldn’t care about that little money. The few bucks we could give really wouldn’t catch your eye, it would be better not to give anything. When the time comes, I’ll come over in advance to help out by washing dishes and cleaning up."

In the countryside, the cash gifts were only about a dollar, and for those who were closer or more affectionate, the amount might be five dollars. Zhu Yun’s thinking was also very simple: giving one dollar seemed embarrassing, and giving five dollars made her heart ache for the money.

Now that Shen Mianmian had said the right thing, of course, Zhu Yun was happy, as it meant she didn’t have to give a cash gift.

"The banquet will be at a restaurant, no need for dishwashing or cleaning up,"

Shen Mianmian stated indifferently.

"Going to a restaurant?" Zhu Yun’s eyes shone brightly, her heart thrumming with excitement. Shen Mianmian’s wedding would be held at a restaurant, and it would definitely be at a fancy one. Having been in Beijing for several years, she had never dined at a large restaurant.

Thinking this, Zhu Yun asked with a chuckle, "Mianmian, do you have any old clothes you don’t want to wear anymore? Why not give me a set to wear? I’d hate to look shabby at your wedding and embarrass you and Xiaoxi, right?"

Shen Mianmian sized her up from head to toe, "I’m afraid you won’t be able to fit into my clothes."

There were indeed old clothes that Shen Mianmian wouldn’t mind giving to Zhu Yun, but after having a child, Zhu Yun had gained a lot of weight, while Shen Mianmian’s figure remained the same. Zhu Yun wouldn’t be able to fit into her clothes.

"The clothes I wear now definitely won’t fit you, but you had many maternity clothes back when you were pregnant, right? You can’t wear them now anyway, and when you have a second child in the future, you won’t be short on money to buy new clothes. Just give me a set to wear!" Zhu Yun had this all planned out, otherwise she wouldn’t have brought it up.

Shen Mianmian didn’t expect Zhu Yun to set her sights on this, but knowing she wouldn’t wear those clothes again, she stood up, "Wait here, let me get the clothes for you."

"Great, great."

Zhu Yun was elated, Shen Mianmian was indeed easy to talk to. But it was to be expected; after all, to Shen Mianmian, these things probably meant nothing.

Even if she didn’t give them to her, they’d end up in the trash sooner or later.
