"Heh... you're quite punctual. You came just in time, just in time for dinner."

"Tsk tsk... Now that we're here, we can't just eat and not work. Little cousin, help us fix the roof first. Your clothes are wet too, so it's a good idea."

These cousins ​​were beaten up by Zhang Yaoyang in the clinic. They were filled with hatred, so how could they miss the opportunity to teach him a lesson?

Not only did they treat the mother and son as freeloaders, they also threw a large bundle of straw to Zhang Yaoyang, telling him to go to the roof and work quickly, otherwise he would have no chance of eating for free.

Liu Huifang didn't expect that the younger generations would speak so excessively, and she got furious on the spot.

"You guys are too radical. Who said we are here to eat for free..."

Several cousins ​​said coldly: "Second Aunt, since you are not here to eat for free, then you don't want to eat with us later?"

"It seems that our food is not to your liking. But even so, my little cousin, can you help me fix the roof? That's not too much, right?"

"That's right. We haven't seen him show any filial piety in all these years. We are giving him a chance to show his filial piety. Otherwise, who knows how outsiders will poke holes in your Zhang family's spine!"

"Hurry up, the food will get cold soon. If you don't eat, we will still be hungry."

After they threw the straw at Zhang Yaoyang's feet, they stood there clapping their hands, watching the mother and son leisurely to see what they would do.

As for the people in the house, they had obviously heard the noise, but no matter who they were, no one came out to greet her. The old man in the lead just called out coldly.

"Second girl, are you back? Why don't you come in and apologize!"

When Liu Huifang heard her grandfather's old yet familiar voice, tears suddenly flowed down her face.

"Dad, I'm back to see you!"

"Mom, I'm sorry that it took me so long to come see you. I'm an unfilial daughter. I'm sorry for you..."

At this time, she didn't care about her son, rushed into the lobby with gifts, and knelt down and kowtowed to the two elders who were sitting on their high seats.

The two old men looked at her with a cold look, without much warmth. They just asked her to stand up and stop kowtowing, as they were not dead yet and had no use for her.

Hearing this, she felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that they had never forgiven her, which made her very sad.

He hurriedly took out the gifts he had with him as if he were presenting a treasure.

"Mom and Dad, this is something your daughter brought for you. It includes sugar and...you..."

The two old men didn't wait for her to finish and showed no interest in the bag of fertilizer she brought back.

In their opinion, this married daughter is so poor that she can barely make ends meet, so what good gifts can she give?

"Okay, put your things down first and listen to what your eldest brother has to say. We are old and useless. Your eldest brother has the final say in this family."

The two old people didn't seem to want to stay with Liu Huifang any longer, and went back to their rooms to rest under the pretext of something.

Even though this is their own daughter, due to their patriarchal mentality, they have always ignored her.

"Dad~Mom~~~~"

Liu Huifang tried to salvage something, but the two old people disliked her because they did not get the several hundred yuan betrothal money.

Her shouts were ultimately shattered by the sound of the pouring rain.

Upon seeing this, his elder brother Liu Wei started to act sarcastic.

"Heh... Second sister, I'm not saying this as your brother, but after three years of separation, you're really cruel. You didn't even come to see our parents."

Liu Huifang was speechless and could only cry: "In the past, my family was poor and I was ashamed to see my parents and elder brother... Now..."

"Humph! You were the one who insisted on getting married, and we couldn't stop you. You really hurt our parents' feelings. Now you have the nerve to cry poor here. Put that shit away!"

His eldest brother Liu Wei had a mean look on his face, and his sister-in-law beside him started to add insult to injury.

"Huifang, no matter how hard your life is, it's all your own fault. It has nothing to do with us."

"I asked you to come here this time not to take advantage of your mother's family's blessing, but to discuss with you the great event of our parents' centenary."

Liu Huifang understood it immediately and shouted in disbelief.

"Our parents are only in their early 60s, not even 70 yet. Are they really that anxious?"

The eldest sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said, "It's called being prepared. If you don't prepare in advance, what will you do when the problem comes? You will be laughed at and laughed at by others."

This left Liu Huifang speechless. This was probably the custom among all families in rural areas. Some families even bought funeral clothes and supplies 10 or 20 years in advance, just in case they might need them.

She said uneasily, "Sister-in-law, which piece of land did you take a fancy to? How much does it cost?"

My sister-in-law directly reported a terrifying astronomical figure.

"It's in the pine tree hollow on the south slope. It's about 2000 yuan."

"Ah... why do you need so much..."

The funeral of Wu Laoer next door lasted for several days and nights, and only cost 300 yuan.

This is already the villagers’ income for two years.

Is it so outrageous that the Liu family spent 2000 yuan to buy a piece of land for a cemetery?

Seeing that she thought it was too expensive, the sister-in-law immediately started yelling in displeasure.

"2000 yuan is not that expensive. If we wait a little longer, the land price might even go up."

"We have asked a deity to look at it. In the future, there will be green smoke coming out of that grave, which will bless the Liu family's descendants to prosper for thousands of years."

"As long as we buy it, our descendants will be able to enjoy the remaining benefits, and there will be endless blessings in the future!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, with saliva flying everywhere, and she looked as if everything was settled and her career was just around the corner.

Before Liu Huifang expressed her opinion, her elder brother Liu Wei started to play the bad guy.

"Little sister, you are from our Liu family. We are the only two siblings in our family. If I, as your brother, don't ask you to help, wouldn't that make you unfilial?"

"Brother, you know you are not well off, so I won't let you pay all the money. You can just pay a small amount, and I will take care of the rest. I am the only son of this family, so I have to bear more responsibilities."

Liu Huifang was sitting there, right at the door. The sound of the rain outside, mixed with the wind from the alley, blew on her body, making her feel cold all over.

She sat there woodenly for a long time without saying a word, only looking outside the house with worry out of the corner of her eyes, fearing that something might happen to her youngest son while he was repairing the roof.

When Liu Wei saw this, he looked at his wife and his face immediately fell.

"Little sister, whether it's okay or not, just give me the answer. We are not a family with nothing to do. We have a lot of things to do and we don't have the time to waste on arguing with you."

Liu Huifang asked dryly, "How much do you want me to take, brother?"

"Not much, not much, just 800, just for luck."

"How about it, when can the money be delivered?"

800... This is going to cost the Zhang family their lives.

If this had happened a few days ago, this amount of money would have been an astronomical figure. Even if the whole family had committed fraud, they would not have been able to get so much money.

Liu Wei asked for so much right away, which made Liu Huifang speechless.

Just as I was standing there awkwardly, not knowing how to respond, the sky suddenly brightened above my head, and then rain started dripping in.

Zhang Yaoyang's big face appeared from above.

"No, 800. Just 80. That's all our family can give."
