Second, my mother looked even more uncomfortable: "They are your uncles. After your father left, they helped us a lot."

Zhang Erlai snorted, "They are helping us. How much did they loot from our house after Dad passed away? That was all Dad's savings, and they just gave you a few small things, and that's considered helping us? If they hadn't taken the money Dad left behind, my mother and I would have lived a much better life than we do now."

After saying that, without waiting for Erlai's mother to speak, Zhang Erlai said, "Even the villagers help us more than my two uncles. Mom, do you understand who is the one who really helps us?"

"He's your uncle after all..."

Before Erlai's mother could finish, Zhang Erlai said angrily, "It's better not to have an uncle like this."

"How can you say that to your own uncle, kid?" Erlai's mother slapped Erlai a little unhappily, but because she felt sorry for her son, she didn't use much force and just slapped him lightly.

Finally, Erlai's mother sighed and said to Zhang Erlai, "Erlai, I know you blame me in your heart. You blame me for letting your uncles take our money. You blame me for giving your uncles the meat and food you brought back in the past two years. But, they are my brothers and my family. I only have these two brothers left, so of course I have to treat them better."

Every time Zhang Erlai heard his mother say this, he got angry: "I'm still your only son, why don't you treat me better?"

"Why doesn't mother treat you well, you have no conscience." Erlai's mother was so angry that she slapped Erlai again and said, "Mother has been thinking about finding you a wife these days."

"I'm not in a hurry." Zhang Erlai was holding his breath. He admitted that his mother loved him. After all, he was her only son, and she would feed him even if she didn't eat herself. However, his mother's kindness to him was ultimately second only to that of her two uncles. No matter what good things there were at home, she would definitely think of sharing some with her uncles.

Therefore, in the past two years, he hid the money he earned from his mother and only brought back some food and daily necessities. Otherwise, if his mother knew about the money he had, who knows which uncle would get the money.

"Why aren't you in a hurry?" After hearing what Zhang Erlai said, Erlai's mother said hurriedly, "You are already in your twenties. In our village, almost all people your age have children. Even those who don't have children have already started a family. You are the only one left without a partner."

After that, Erlai's mother said to Zhang Er happily, "Speaking of which, I found someone for you. Do you remember the second girl from the old Su family in our village?"

"Su Qing?" Zhang Erlai was naturally aware of Su Qing's affairs. However, he had no connection with Su Qing. He only knew that Su Qing suffered a lot in the old Su family.

"Yes, it's Su Qing." Erlai's mother said happily, "You haven't been home these two days, so you don't know yet. Su Qing has separated from the old Su family. Su Qing's father's job was bought by the old Su family for 500 yuan. From now on, Su Qing and the old Su family will be two families."

"What does that have to do with me? I don't like her." Zhang Erlai still remembered that Su Qing had a big scar on her left cheek. Although he himself was not good-looking, he also wanted to find a beautiful girl to be his wife. Even if she was not very beautiful, at least she had to have regular features. He didn't want to marry someone with a scar on her face. He would be scared to death if he woke up in the middle of the night.

"Oh, how come it doesn't matter?" Erlai's mother said hurriedly: "Son, didn't you hear me say that Su Qing has 500 yuan in her hand now, 500 yuan!"

Zhang Erlai pursed his lips. Although he didn't have 500 yuan in his hand, he still had 300 or 400 yuan.

"Hey, son, five hundred yuan, did you hear that?" Erlai's mother emphasized again.

"I heard it, mother." Zhang Erlai said, "You said Su Qing has 500 yuan."

Erlai's mother smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. I was thinking that if you marry Su Qing, the 500 yuan she has will belong to our Zhang family. If you two can't get along in the future, you can just divide it. With this 500 yuan, you can marry any good girl you want."

After that, Erlai's mother patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, son. Let me keep the five hundred yuan for you. I will make sure that Su Qing, that little bitch, can't take the five hundred yuan when she leaves our house."

"Mom..." Zhang Erlai looked at his mother helplessly, "That's someone else's money. Besides, do you think I can marry whoever I want? Even if Su Qing and I really get married, I'll put the money in your hands, and I don't know whose uncle's pocket it will end up in."

"How dare you say that about your uncle, kid?"

"I'm telling the truth." Zhang Erlai stiffened his neck and said, "Anyway, I don't want to marry Su Qing. I don't like her."

"Oh, didn't mother say..." Erlai's mother still wanted to persuade Zhang Erlai. Why was this child so stubborn? She was doing this for his own good. If the family had money, not only could he help his two brothers, but the family's life would also be better.

"Mom, it doesn't matter what you say. I will never marry Su Qing anyway. I know my own marriage, so don't worry about it."

"Why don't you listen to your mother?" The mother was a little anxious. This was such a good marriage, why couldn't her son understand it?

"If you want to marry me, you can do it yourself. I won't marry you." Zhang Erlai felt that the food in his mouth was tasteless, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Hey, where have you been, kid? You just came back." Erlai's mother said hurriedly when she saw Zhang Erlai was about to leave.

"I still have things to do, so I won't be back these two days. Mom, just stay at home. I'll bring you a piece of meat in two days." Zhang Erlai said sullenly and walked out of the yard.

“Hey, you…” When Erlai’s mother chased him out of the courtyard, Zhang Erlai had already walked far away. Erlai’s mother could not help but stamp her feet and said angrily: “You are really getting more and more disobedient as you grow older.”

After saying that, Erlai's mother sighed and went back to the yard. She ate her meal alone without any appetite. After thinking for a while, she felt that even if her son disagreed, she had to think carefully about how to make Su Qing her daughter-in-law. What would it cost? Five hundred yuan!

Thinking about the money Su Qing had in her hands, Erlai's mother felt her heart burning with joy.

Su Qing didn't know that Erlai's mother was thinking about the money in her hand. She happily ate the first delicious stew in so many years and almost swallowed her tongue.

good to eat!

too delicious!

There was another faint sound of angry curses coming from the other side of the earth wall. Su Qing looked over there and the corners of her mouth curled up. She was happy that the people in the Su family were unhappy!
