Chapter 204: Return to School
Bai Hehua was not wrong, it was Yang Peiying who had agreed to give her the item, thus, it was hers to distribute as she saw fit, even knowing Bai Hehua was cunning, Yang Peimin did not plan to intervene, at most she would remind her later, but with Zhang Minghua around, Yang Peiying would not be at a disadvantage.
Then, Bai Hehua clumsily tied a pale orange silk ribbon around her neck, attempting to mimic a knot the way she remembered it, and self-satisfied, asked the people nearby if it looked good. Li Hong’s eyes flickered slightly as she stared at the scarf around Bai’s neck, "Sister-in-law, wearing that makes your skin look quite yellow, don’t take it personally, I’m just being honest, it doesn’t look good on you."
Bai Hehua rolled her eyes at her, her face darkening as she retorted sharply, "What do you know? You’ve never even worn a scarf, how can you judge if it looks good on others?"
The two sisters-in-law started quarreling in front of everyone until Zhang Minghua loudly interrupted them, instructing Bai Hehua to give the scarf back to Yang Peiying.
Reluctantly, Bai Hehua untied it and returned it to Yang Peiying, "Yingzi, you must take good care of it. Don’t get it dirty."
Yang Peiying nodded emphatically, carefully folding it and wrapping it in a piece of cloth, then Yang Peimin spoke, "Yingzi, in a few days I’ll go with you to the town, and you should wear this. I’ll teach you how to tie it properly, it will look beautiful. Also, don’t be too kind, lending it out; it will get dirty or worn out and become useless. If someone asks to borrow it, just tell them I bought it specifically to match your skin tone and personality, it won’t suit anyone else, and without a compatible outfit, it’s pointless. Next time I visit, I’ll match it properly for you."
She said this in front of Bai Hehua and Li Hong, as a warning, to curb any ideas about Yang Peiying’s scarf.
Yang Peiying’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her sister, her face filled with admiration.
Yang Peimin walked over, took her arm, and they went inside to talk in private.
Yang Peiying then took out a pair of fabric shoes from a trunk, her face flushed with embarrassment, she nervously said, "Sister, just keep these shoes for wearing around the house."
