Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Good Things (1)_1

"Ziyin." Seeing that Zige was resolutely refusing their silver, Lin Changshu turned his pleading eyes towards Lin Ziyin.

Siblings’ genuine affection is rare. Although Ziyin takes charge of the household affairs, she never asserts herself in their emotional interactions, never making decisions for them.

"Ziyin, help me out here." Guo Huiniang noticing Ziyin had remained quiet, straightforwardly entreated for help.

"Sister, don’t concern yourself with this matter. No matter what you say, I will not accept these silvers." Lin Zige was adamant.

"Sister, since these are the heartfelt intentions of our brother and sister-in-law, rejecting them outright would leave them feeling uneasy. How about this? You take the silver notes from the box, use them at your discretion." Lin Ziyin paused, fully aware of Zige’s stubbornness, carefully wording her suggestion. "Brother, Sister-in-law, don’t be anxious. As sister mentioned, even after marriage, she won’t be without some form of income. Besides, if there ever comes a time when they encounter difficulties, we won’t stand by and do nothing. Thus, you giving such a significant amount of silver all at once would only make sister uncomfortable. Why don’t you both take a step back and find peace of mind?"

Lin Changshu, Zige and Guo Huiniang glanced at each other, believing her words to be quite reasonable.

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony and will take it." Lin Zige took two five-ounce silvers from the box, "this amount is more than enough, thank you Brother and Sister-in-law."

She deeply bowed to Lin Changshu and Guo Huiniang, in Zige’s eyes, her brother and sister-in-law fully assumed the roles of her parents after their death.

"Zige." Lin Changshu seemed rather distressed.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, it’s already been decided. Since sister has taken the silver, you should pocket the remaining silvers." Lin Ziyin laughed.

"Ziyin, thank you." Zige embraced her, shedding tears. She was going to be married off, and although it was still within the same village, she couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

Lin Ziyin had already sent over the dowry she had prepared. All of Zige’s dowry had been prepared by Ziyin. Even the jewelry Zige was to wear today were items Ziyin had specifically ordered.

"We’re in the same village, and you’ll still be coming to work here every day, don’t be sad." Ziyin laughed and comforted her.

"Zige, we don’t have any good items to give, these shoes and scarves were hand-embroidered by your sister-in-law, hope you don’t mind." Aunt Guihua and Chun Ling felt somewhat ashamed. They had just moved to Shili Village and were now without any possessions they could offer.

"Aunt, my cousins." Zige gratefully said, "Even if you hadn’t helped with my dowry these past few days, Uncle and my cousins have been busying themselves making furniture. That affection is more valuable than anything else. Thank you." After finishing, Zige bowed slightly to them.

"That won’t do." Aunt Guihua, with tears in her eyes, helped her up, "This is your big day, you’re the most important person here, there’s no need to show respect to me."

"Hurry up, the Bridegroom’s sedan chair has arrived." The elder lady Bai came in to hurry them.

As she heard the sound of the suona from outside, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Lin Ziyin couched, "Don’t keep Brother Dayou waiting outside."

Since both families’ banquets were held together, the feast could only begin after the newlyweds had completed their ceremonial bows.

"Zige, this is a modest gift from us, maidens." Bai Yunxian and a group of girls came over, all carrying gifts.

They were here to contribute to Lin Zige’s dowry, each carrying gifts of varying values. Those closer in relation tended to give more. Bai Yunxian, in particular, had a closer relationship with Zige due to the good relations between Bai and Lin families. She gifted Zige a silver bracelet, which was considered a costly contribution in village standards.
