Aunt Xu sighed, "Oh, I received so much gift money. It would be great if I could buy a coffin for Old Lu and build a grave for him."
Aunt Wang patted Aunt Xu's shoulder and said earnestly, "Old Xu, you're overthinking it. They buried Old Lu first before coming to ask for the gift money."
"Old Wang, I just feel that Old Lu isn't worth it. He worked so hard for those ungrateful people his whole life, and in the end he didn't even have a coffin. He also said that raising a son would provide for his old age, but I think that's all bullshit."
Seeing the angry Aunt Xu, Aunt Li said to her, "Don't be angry, Old Xu. Why do you want to punish yourself for someone else's mistakes? Anyway, the gift money has been given, there is nothing to be angry about.
Besides, that’s the Lu family’s business, and it’s not for outsiders like us to say anything.
If the Lu family says they have no money, they can donate some money to buy a coffin and repair the grave for Old Lu. I think everyone in our village should be willing to do so.
But the Lu family has done this, and as an outsider, it’s not easy for us to interfere.
You say, if the Lu family returns all the gift money from our village, will they still ask other distant relatives for gift money?"
Aunt Liu thought of the disgusted faces of the Lu family and spoke directly: "Why don't you ask for it? People in our village get a small share, and those relatives get a big share. The closer they are, the more gifts they get.
Alas, the Lu family is still good at calculating. Even after Old Lu died, they still made a lot of money.
I'm hungry, but they don't have a banquet, so let's all go home and cook and eat."
Aunt Li continued to complain: "Oh, they asked for so much gift money at one time and didn't even prepare a feast. It's really a loss. From now on, when my family does something, I won't dare to accept gift money from the Lu family. I won't dare go to their family's events either."
Aunt Yang continued, "That's right. Everyone in the village lost out, but the Lu family made a killing. I didn't go to work today just to help the Lu family. I didn't even get to eat, and I even had to pay for the gift money and work points. It's really unlucky."
After everyone left, Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran also followed Zhang's mother back.
When Zhang Tiantian and the others returned home, they saw the captain drunk in the living room. He kept saying, "Old Lu, I'm sorry. I was too late and you were buried without a coffin."
After repeating this sentence over and over again, Zhang's mother angrily slapped the captain: "You good-for-nothing, his son wants to be buried directly, what can you do? You are an outsider, how can you interfere? What does this have to do with you? Sorry, I see you are free, come and light the fire and cook for me."
Zhang's mother slapped the team leader in the face and woke him up. The team leader watched Zhang's mother go to the kitchen and followed her staggeringly.
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran were left staring at each other, while at the same time giving a thumbs up to Zhang's mother.
