"And in our village, I'm afraid there will also be quite a few people coming..." Lian Shouxin said.
The family deliberate for half a day.
"Moving house isn't such a big deal in our village. We'll just skip the customary gifts," Lian Shouxin decided.
"Tomorrow, I'll spread the word that we've accepted all the social obligations, and everything else will carry on as usual. Just because we have an archway, doesn't mean we've changed. Could we really start exploiting our neighbors?" Lady Zhang said.
Upon hearing this, Lian Manman couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter.
"What's so funny? Am I wrong?" Lady Zhang asked.
"Mother, you're right. My laughter, well, I'm just delighted. My mother has become cultured, even using phrases like exploiting the neighbors," Lian Manman said, lowering her head to suppress a giggle.
"Aren't you just mocking me for being a simpleton? I learned that phrase from our Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi, am I using it correctly?" Lady Zhang turned to ask Xiao Qi.
