Su Qing was inexplicably dragged by Aunt Cuihua and asked hurriedly: "Aunt Cuihua, what's going on? What's the excitement?"

Aunt Cuihua turned to Su Qing with a smile and said, "It's lively now that Zhang Er is at home."

"Ah!" Su Qing was a little surprised when she heard that. It was New Year's Day, and there were only mother and son at Zhang Erlai's house. What was there to see?

Could it be that Zhang Erlai and his mother had a quarrel?

Anyway, Su Qing felt that although Zhang Erlai and Erlai's mother were mother and son, their values ​​were really different. She didn't know how Erlai's mother, with her extremely distorted values, could raise a person like Zhang Erlai who had normal values.

Before reaching Zhang Erlai's house, Su Qing heard shouting coming from the yard of Zhang Erlai's house from afar.

Is someone here to cause trouble?

Su Qing felt that the voice was a little strange, so she asked Aunt Cuihua, "Aunt Cuihua, is there someone making trouble?"

"That's right. I heard that it was Zhang Erlai's two uncles, that is, Erlai's mother's two brothers. The two families came to make trouble, and no one knows why. Let's go and listen to the noise. Erlai's mother has always been targeting you. This time, let's have a good laugh at her." Aunt Cuihua now protects Su Qing like her own little chick. She has no good face to the old Su family and Erlai's mother who bullied Su Qing. She can't wait to see each other make a fool of themselves.

At this time, many villagers had gathered outside Zhang Erlai's yard. His house had a fence, so there was no need to climb over the top of the wall.

"This way, this way." As soon as Su Qing and Aunt Cuihua arrived, the sharp-eyed Aunt Tao waved at them: "There's a seat here."

As he spoke, he said to the people around him, "Come and squeeze in, let Su Qing come over to watch the fun."

When Su Qing heard what Aunt Tao said, she couldn't help but laugh and cry. Why did she want her to see the excitement at Zhang Erlai's house?

At this time, Zhang Erlai in the yard looked at his mother angrily: "Mom, did you promise to pay the betrothal money to the eldest and second cousins? And you also want to pay three turns and one ring?"

Erlai's mother never expected that her big talk was taken seriously by her eldest and second brother's families. Today they really came to the house to ask for money and things. Zhang Erlai's words made her even more confused about what to say.

Some time ago, because of several transactions between Zhang Erlai and Su Qing, he made a lot of money in the provincial capital. Therefore, before the New Year, in addition to Zhang Erlai's normal income, Ah Cheng also gave Zhang Erlai a special reward of 200 yuan. Together with the money Zhang Erlai saved in the past two years, Zhang Erlai now has almost 1,000 yuan in his hands.

Zhang Erlai knew that Erlai's mother was used to supporting his two brothers' families, but he also knew that it was only for food. After all, he didn't dare to leave the money he earned with Erlai's mother, so Erlai's mother didn't actually have much money in her hands.

This year, Zhang Erlai won a bonus, and he wanted to have a good year for his family. Not only did he bring home a lot of meat and grain, he also gave Erlai's mother fifty yuan and some bills. Zhang Erlai's original intention was to let Erlai's mother buy some clothes she liked, but he never expected that his mother took the money, bills and meat and turned around and gave them to his two uncles' homes.

Not only did he give presents and money, he also promised to give dowries and three turns and one ring for his two nephews. As a result, before the first month of the new year was over, his two uncles came to his house to ask for money and presents.

"Erlai, why do you treat your mother like this?" Erlai's mother's eldest brother Niu Dashun looked at Zhang Erlai with a fierce face: "Look at how scared your mother is. You are being unfilial."

"Shut up! You don't raise your own son, but you let my mother raise him for you. How can you, a grown man, have the nerve to do that?" Zhang Erlai never had a good impression of his two uncles. His mother's love for his two cousins ​​actually made him sad. From childhood to adulthood, his mother had never loved him so much.

"Secondly, we are your uncles. How can you talk to us like that?" Zhang Erlai's second uncle Niu Ershun said dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Erlai glanced at Niu Ershun coldly, then turned around and asked his mother, "Mom, please tell me, are you really willing to give the betrothal gifts and the third turn and the first ring to your eldest and second cousins?"

Zhang Erlai was deeply disappointed with his mother. He gave her money, tickets and meat in the hope that his family could have a good New Year, but his mother gave away all the things, leaving only half a pound of meat and a little food at home. He was already angry about this, but today, his two uncles actually came to his house to ask for things and money.

At this time, the villagers who were watching around were whispering to each other, thinking that Erlai's mother was mentally ill. Her own son's marriage was not settled yet, but she actually wanted to give betrothal money and three-turn rings to several nephews from her mother's side. What about the two nephews? If she really gave them out, how much money would it cost? Not to mention the betrothal money, just two sets of three-turn rings, not to mention the good ones, would cost at least one thousand eight hundred yuan.

Can Zhang Erlai's house with such a shabby yard and shabby house be taken out?

Even if they can get the money, who wouldn't focus on their own son first? There's no point in caring about their nephew. He has his own parents, so why should she meddle in his affairs?

Normal people would take care of their own children first, but Erlai's mother actually...

So, everyone looked at Erlai's mother with somewhat intriguing eyes. In the past, Erlai's mother always boasted in the village about how good she was to her son, but now look at her, wow!

Erlai's mother felt a little uncomfortable with Zhang Erlai's gaze, so she said, "I just said it like that, as a joke, I didn't know your uncle and the others took it seriously."

"What!" As soon as Erlai's mother finished speaking, her eldest sister-in-law looked at her with wide eyes, "Little sister, you said with your own mouth that you would give a betrothal gift and three turns and one ring, and you promised it with your heart at that time. Today you actually said it was a joke? Your eldest nephew's daughter has a crush on you, and you want to give up now? I tell you, it doesn't work that way."

All along, Erlai's mother has always responded to the requests of his two brothers' families. Whatever she promised, she would fulfill it. This time before the New Year, Erlai's mother sent money and meat to her two brothers' families, boasting that her sons can make money. She was praised by her two brothers and their sisters-in-law. Suddenly, Erlai's mother became proud and said that she would take care of the betrothal gifts and three turns and one ring for her two nephews' weddings.

After hearing what Erlai's mother said, Niu Dashun and Niu Ershun's family did not delay and immediately helped their son find a partner. They promised the betrothal gift and the three turns and one ring, and then hurriedly ran to Erlai's mother to ask her to fulfill her promise. After all, it is safest to keep things and money in their own hands.

"Sister-in-law, where do I get so much money?" Erlai's mother said in a low voice. Whatever good things she had, she would send to her parents' home as soon as possible.

"You said it, Erlai is successful now and makes a lot of money." Erlai's mother's second sister-in-law immediately yelled, "I don't care, you, as an aunt, have made a promise, and now you go back on your word, what you did is not human."
