In the end, Liu'er's mother didn't have a fit and refuse the Zheng Family's gift. Instead, she went with the flow and accepted it, even sending Tie Zhu over to invite Zheng Changhe for a drink.
She wasn't a fool. Recently, all the villagers had started to look at the Zheng Family in a new light. The Zhengs were no longer who they used to be—they had somehow managed to get rich over a single winter, which was truly unbelievable. If she continued to be at odds with the Zheng Family, she was afraid the other villagers would start to shun her family.
Besides, Sun Jinshan wouldn't have allowed her to do so anyway. As soon as the Zheng Family's gift was recorded in the gift register, Sun Jinshan had immediately made a show of goodwill by having his son go and invite Zheng Changhe personally.
