In the end, Zhou Xiaofeng, the mother, had no choice but to borrow money to buy a cemetery plot.
Because of this, the two sides fell out and have not spoken to each other for the past few years.
Tang Ping didn't understand before, but he gradually realized as he grew up that his uncle's family had ulterior motives. They didn't want his father to be buried in their hometown, ostensibly because it was unlucky, but actually because they were afraid that Tang Ping would get a share of the family's homestead and farmland when he grew up.
