The farce in the Old Mu Family lasted for four days.
It finally came to a halt on the day of the Lantern Festival.
The plan to marry off Mu Xiangxiang to Sun Dali was also put on hold due to the festivities.
However, the Old Yu Family coming to the third branch for the Lantern Festival was a sure thing.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yu Si Niang got up early. She changed into new clothes meant for the holiday and deliberately went to Mu Shuangshuang's room to have her do her makeup.
Since Mu Shuangshuang charged a small fee for makeup during the Qixi Festival, village girls have occasionally sought her out for her skills.
Some because they were going on dates, others purely because they thought it looked good.
A few pennies at a time, over several occasions, it amounted to enough to buy a kilo of pork. Mu Shuangshuang thought doing more makeup for the village women could be a good way to make money.
