Usually, when villagers gave wedding gifts, those with distant connections would give thirty or fifty cents, while those closer would give one or two yuan. But Song Cheng’s wedding was different. While other weddings only saw one or two people from each household attend, the entire family showed up for Song Cheng’s.
Some families of ten or twenty people occupied two tables, and the feast consisted entirely of meat dishes; it wouldn't be appropriate to give only thirty or fifty cents. Besides, Song Cheng and his bride had brought eight wild boars to the village that day, and the villagers themselves had received a significant amount of meat and money from that haul.
Therefore, no one was stingy with their gifts this time.
