That night, a man came to the Zhang family. He was the uncle's cousin, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu.

Their family had moved out of Zhaojia Village a long time ago. They had become wealthy now, so they didn't have much contact with their family.

The main reason is that they look down on their poor family.

But now, he didn't make this trip willingly. He came to explain the old man's birthday and asked their family to prepare 30 yuan.

Zhang Yaoyang intercepted the two men halfway.

In his previous life, he didn't go to school, so these two people knocked on the door of his home.

He seemed arrogant and rude to his parents, two elders, and was very annoying.

In this life, he will never allow these two ugly things to appear in front of his parents and cause trouble.

"Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, wait a minute..."

His sudden voice startled the two people who were running in front of him.

"Who are you? How do you recognize us?"

As people who should be the closest to you, it is really too alienating to meet each other in person without recognizing each other.

Zhang Yaoyang curled his lips and said, "My father is Zhang Yongshou, my mother is Liu Huifang, and I am their second son, Zhang Yaoyang. If you two have any questions, just tell me and I will pass them on."

At this time, it was still half an hour's journey to the village. To be honest, it was a bit tiring to walk at night.

If they were not busy with their work during the day, they would not have come out so late at night to suffer this.

"Ahem... Since we are so lucky to meet, please help me pass a message to my family. Tell them that my great grandfather will celebrate his 80th birthday in three days, and your family must come to help."

"Also, because this banquet is quite large, it costs 30 yuan per family, so you have to be prepared."

"Alright, that's the thing. Whether you come or not is your family's business. We have already notified everyone. Let's go!"

The two of them turned around and left, not even bothering to pay attention to Chen Ergou and Zhang Anxin who were behind Zhang Yaoyang.

Zhang Anxin said angrily, "Second brother, what kind of person is this? What did he mean by that? He actually dared to ask for 30 yuan. Why didn't they just rob him? Pah!"

Chen Ergou also said indignantly: "In my opinion, there is no need for you to visit this relative. You ask for so much money right away, and it's worth 2.58 million. It's as if your family owes them. How shameless."

Zhang Yaoyang had experienced this before, so he was not upset. He just said to Zhang Anxin, "I will tell my family about this when I get back."

"However, 30 yuan is not a small amount. We need to discuss it and not make it difficult for our parents."

In his previous life, Zhang Yaoyang earned this money by hunting in the mountains, and then he let his parents take 30 yuan to the banquet.

But unfortunately, everyone in the uncle's family knew that Zhang Yongshou was not a member of the Zhang family, but an orphan who was adopted.

That's why they excluded and looked down on him.

After a busy day at the banquet, the parents ended up having to eat leftovers.

In this life, it doesn’t matter if this relative doesn’t exist, but if you want to bully his family, just dream on.

Zhang Yaoyang really couldn't afford 30 yuan right now. Qian Yu had only taught two classes, and he was only tutoring one student, so his finances were very tight.

He couldn't bear to see his parents borrowing money from everywhere to get into foreign debt.

It doesn't matter whether the birthday party at my uncle's house is held or not. My uncle is a long-lived man and he probably won't care about such a ceremony.

Thinking of this, the three of them quickly headed home.

Sure enough, after learning about this, Liu Huifang began to take inventory of all the supplies in her home and tried to find ways to raise money.

In her words, an old man can only celebrate a few birthdays in his lifetime, and they don’t have any relatives left in their family. There is only this old man like this one, and as long as the other party still recognizes them, they have to respect the old man.

Zhang Yongshou even said: "We haven't had any contact for more than ten years. Even if we only gave the old man two yuan this year, 30 yuan is not much. We owe them. Now we have the opportunity to make it up. There is no reason to refuse."

Zhang Yaoyang looked at their anxious expressions and knew that he had to do it, so he didn't say anything to stop them, but just gave them a few words of advice.

"It's dark now, don't disturb others' rest. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"Ah... that's right. Let others sleep well. Let's first think about which ones to borrow money from to be safe."

The two parents walked towards the room with sad faces, while Zhang Yaoyang was lying on the table writing something. He waited until everyone in the family fell asleep, then he blew out the oil lamp, opened the gate and ran out.

Before I got far, I heard a familiar voice: "Brother, wait for me!"

Chen Ergou, as expected of someone who grew up wearing the same open-crotch pants as him, actually ran to the door of his house in advance to block him.

"You are really amazing! I'm afraid it's the roundworm in my stomach!"

On the way, Zhang Yaoyang teased Chen Ergou to liven up the atmosphere.

Sure enough, Chen Ergou was so angry that he cried out loudly.

"I'm just worried that you might do something stupid. It's not good to kill someone for 30 bucks."

Did he think Zhang Yaoyang wanted to go to his uncle's house and go crazy?

Chen Ergou has a pretty big imagination.

Although Zhang Yaoyang really wanted to do this, he was afraid that he would anger the old man to death.

This old man is a good person, but the younger generations under him now have some abilities and look down on their family of peasants.

We are all born the same, and before we gain much power, we have already started to become arrogant. Such people really don't deserve a good life.

It would be more comfortable to come back and farm with them and eat steamed corn bread.

Zhang Yaoyang had wanted to do this in his heart for a long time, and he didn't intend to let himself down this time.

So, the two of them sneaked into the town and first put a few letters written in advance into the post office.

Then he was afraid that the letter would be sent too late, so he went to several other units and stuffed a few letters into the mail room when the guards were not paying attention.

There were three big words written on the letter - Letter of Accusation.

Even after all this, he still felt uneasy, so he went to various conspicuous places and posted a lot of materials like big-character posters on the doors, blackboards, and walls of those units...

He worked like a thief for more than two hours and finally cleared out the thick stack of materials.

Chen Ergou read all the materials from beginning to end. To be honest, he was still frightened by Zhang Yaoyang's accusation.

"Brother...is what you wrote here true, or did you make it up?"

If it is true, it is too scary. How can he be a civil servant? He is clearly suffering from cysticercosis.

But if it was fake, it was made up to sound too real, so that even an outsider would believe it.

Zhang Yaoyang let out a long breath: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. What's important is that they can't hold the birthday party."
