When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

Secondly, the mother never thought that her son would look at her like this. What kind of look was that!

Disappointment, sadness, anger, alienation, and even a hint of contempt.

Seeing Zhang Erlai's eyes, Erlai's mother was stunned and speechless.

Zhang Erlai turned to look at Su Qing and apologized again: "I'm really sorry for what happened today. I'm sorry for affecting you."

"It's okay. I've let out my anger." Su Qing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Then we'll leave first."

"Okay." Zhang Erlai nodded.

After seeing Su Qing, Aunt Cuihua, Aunt Tao and the surrounding villagers leave, Zhang Erlai went back to the house without even looking at his mother.

Erlai's mother stood in a daze in the yard for a while, and for a moment she didn't know what to do. She had always felt that it was her duty to support her parents' home, and it was okay to put herself and her son at a disadvantage. She also always felt that Zhang Erlai never disciplined her and approved of her actions.

However, what happened today was beyond her expectations. In her opinion, if her son could give her 50 yuan for the New Year, he must have more money. Although she boasted about it at her parents' home, even if Zhang Erlai could not come up with less than 1,000 yuan and those bills, he should be able to come up with at least half of it.

But Zhang Erlai refused to pay a penny!

He even drove away her eldest and second brother's families.

What the hell is this!

How will she get along with her family in the future?

Also, the look in Zhang Er's eyes when he looked at her just now made her feel a little nervous, but then she thought again, he was her son after all, a piece of flesh and blood that fell from her body, so no matter what, she should help her.

Thinking of this, Erlai's mother turned around and went into the house, then rushed to Zhang Erlai's room and cried to him, "Erlai, please help me this time and give your eldest cousin some money for the betrothal gifts. Otherwise, they won't even be able to get a wife."

Erlai's mother's words stabbed Zhang Erlai's heart like a knife. He stood up with fire in his eyes: "I'm helping them pay the betrothal money. Are their parents dead or missing limbs? Their parents are still alive. Do you, as an aunt, need to pay for the betrothal money? Why don't you think about the fact that your own son's marriage is still unsettled?"

Erlai's mother said uncomfortably, "It's because we don't have money."

Zhang Erlai was so angry that he laughed: "Yes, your family has no money. Your own son can't afford the gift and can't get married, and you are still busy giving the gift money to your nephew. May I ask you, where do you get the money from?"

"That's not... that's not the case with you having money." Erlai's mother pursed her lips uncomfortably: "You gave me fifty yuan for the New Year, so you must have at least a few hundred yuan in your hand. You can use it for your eldest cousin's wedding first. At worst, you can ask them to pay you back later."

Zhang Erlai was speechless. It turned out that he had made a mistake in giving the New Year's money. As for paying back the money, Zhang Erlai just wanted to laugh. If he really gave the betrothal money, it would be strange that the money could be paid back if it only went in but not out. It would definitely be like throwing meat buns to a dog, which would never come back.

"No." Zhang Erlai said coldly, "I don't have any money."

"Then you still..."

Without waiting for Erlai's mother to finish, Zhang Erlai looked at her angrily and said word by word: "I gave you that money because I hope you can have a good New Year. That money was borrowed from me, and I still have to find a way to pay it back. Since you promised those people to pay for the bride price, then you should get the money yourself, don't look for me, I don't have money. In the future, if you still live with me, I will give you five yuan a month as your retirement money, you can spend the money however you want. You gave it all to those people, and it's your own business if you don't have food to eat. As for the rest, I won't give you a penny."

After that, Zhang Erlai casually took out ten yuan and said, "This is your pension money for this month and next month. Spend it as you wish. I'm leaving now."

Zhang Erlai turned around and walked out of the house.

Erlai's mother panicked and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhang Erlai said nothing and quickly left this home that made him feel suffocated.

Seeing that Zhang Erlai ignored her, Erlai's mother sat on the stool in the room in a decadent manner, staring blankly. After a while, she transferred all her anger to Su Qing.

In Erlai's mother's opinion, the root cause of all the bad things was Su Qing. If Su Qing had been willing to marry her, she wouldn't have to worry about money. If Su Qing hadn't said today that she would send her to the Gongan Bureau, Zhang Erlai would definitely not be so angry.

Yes, Su Qing is the root of everything!

Erlai's mother's eyes flashed with hatred. She looked in the direction of Su Qing's house, gritted her teeth and cursed bitterly, wishing to see Su Qing in trouble as soon as possible.

Su Qing had no idea about Erlai's mother's anger towards her, and even if she knew, she would not have cared. What she was looking forward to now were the two sets of jewelry that she was about to get. When she thought of the finished products made of such beautiful jade, her heart was filled with joy. These jewelry, whether she wore them herself or kept them as a collection and waited for them to appreciate in value in the future, would be very good.

Sure enough, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Cheng Beilin and Cheng Beize came to Lihua Village. However, they were very low-key. It happened that Old Man Sun was driving a ox cart to the county town that day. Knowing that the two were going to look for Su Qing, he took them back to Lihua Village.

There were a few aunts on the oxcart who were going to the county town to buy things. They looked at Cheng Beilin and Cheng Beize and said with a smile, "Oh, this girl and boy are so handsome. Are you going to look for Su Qing? Where are you from?"

"In the south." Cheng Beize said with a smile: "My younger sister is friends with Su Qing, so I took this opportunity to come and play with Su Qing."

"Oh, Su Qing is great. She even made some friends during her trip to the south." The aunt said with a smile. Most people in Lihua Village knew that Su Qing had gone to Yun Province some time ago. After coming back, she gave southern specialties to her good friends. They were really envious of her.

Cheng Beilin also laughed and said, "Su Qing told me that it's very cold here in the winter. I thought I was exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be so cold!"

As she spoke, Cheng Beilin could not help rubbing her hands and blowing air into them. She did not feel too cold when she came by car, but now she was sitting on the ox cart. Not only was the road bumpy, but the wind was also quite strong. Although she was wearing a cotton jacket, she still could not adapt to it. However, this feeling was quite novel to her. After all, she had no chance to have this experience in Xiangcheng.

"Hahahahaha, I heard that the south is very warm. You people from the south will definitely not be able to stand it if you come to the north."

"It's okay. I have strong adaptability and will adapt quickly." Cheng Beilin smiled and was pretty, which immediately made the aunts on the ox cart like her very much.
