Cao San Niang's words were met with ridicule from many people.
"Oh my! This mother is so lucky! Her son does the work and she gets paid for nothing! The sun is so hot that even the adults are sweating, but she didn't bring her son any water. When she heard there was money to be made, she rushed over!"
"No way! Look at that kid's lips are all chapped. He only cares about money and doesn't care at all whether my son is tired or thirsty! I've never heard of children not being allowed to accept money. Am I just ignorant? Sometimes, adults are even more unreliable than children!"
"Exactly! Money that's already in your hands, how can you give it back! I've only ever heard of how easy it is to borrow money, but hard to get it back! Cao Erdan, if you really believe your mother, you'll regret it! You're her son, and she'll use her status as your mother to pressure you into not giving you the money, and there'll be nothing you can do about it!"
"Yes! Think more about your sister! You've all had a tough time. When there's no one else to rely on, rely on yourselves. Don't think about anything else! Opportunities like this don't come around every day! Take advantage of this good time to save some money. If there's any disaster in the future, you won't have to suffer so much!"
...
Cao Sanniang was very unhappy with what the villagers said and angrily retorted, "He's my son, I tell him to do what I tell him to do, it's none of your business to tell him what to do! If you're so capable, have a son as sensible as him yourself! You're just jealous of me and don't want me to have money! Bah! I knew none of you wanted anything for me! Stop with your kindness, mind your own business!"
The villagers grumbled a few times, unwilling to say more. They had already said what needed to be said, and they didn't want to have any more interaction with Cao San Niang.
Because the villagers discovered that those who got close to Cao San Niang were all unlucky and lived very poor lives!
They don't want to be unlucky, so it's best to stay away.
What they were really thinking was that the Mo family and Cao San Niang were at odds, and the Mo family was ignoring Cao San Niang, so they didn't want to bother with her either. Yes, they didn't even bother to bother with her!
When Cao Sanniang saw that the villagers were ignoring her, she wasn't angry. On the contrary, she was secretly pleased because she felt that she was right and that her words were correct. So, she looked at Cao Erdan with anticipation.
Hopefully, Cao Erdan will understand and give her the money voluntarily, so she can save face in front of everyone!
However, Cao San Niang was destined to be disappointed, as Cao Er Dan resolutely refused.
She is his mother, that's true, but she's unreliable, so he won't give her any money!
The villagers are right; once you give it, you might not get it back!
If he loses his money, he can continue picking flowers to exchange for it, but his mother won't cherish things that are too easily obtained. She will only develop bad habits and take everything for granted in the future!
He has a younger sister to support, so he can't be soft-hearted and compromise!
Once you start, you simply can't stop!
Look at his mother's smug face now, I can guess what she's thinking without even asking!
Cao San Niang thought that Cao Erdan would at least give her half, if not all of it, because she was his mother. That way, she would still feel proud. As for the other half, she would try to coax and trick him into giving it to her. Kids are easy to fool!
But Cao Erdan refused to pay a single penny!
You utterly unfilial brat!
What a waste of money!
Now that they have money, they don't even know how to be filial to their own mothers!
Unable to contain her emotions, Cao Sanniang was surprised for a moment before roaring, "I raised you, and now you think you're all grown up and dare to disobey me? Do you know how much I suffered to raise you? Now that you're capable, it's only right that you give me some money! If you don't give me any, that's the greatest act of filial impiety! Believe me or not, I'll go to the yamen and sue you!"
The sound was so awful, so piercing, that everyone in the village instinctively covered their ears, afraid of getting hurt!
Even the buyer frowned in displeasure. How could there be such a shrew?
Cao Erdan was now facing a test. If his response did not satisfy the buyer, he might face rejection.
Cao Erdan seemed to sense it. He was very nervous, knowing that the buyers valued character highly, and that he might lose the opportunity if he was not careful.
Just like Aunt Zhou's family!
There wasn't even a chance to discuss it!
It's really heartbreaking. He really hates his mother. She doesn't know her place in the world, she doesn't understand her role, she only thinks about herself and doesn't consider others at all!
But now is not the time to be sad or nervous. Cao Erdan tried his best to control himself and calmed down before coldly saying, "I'll keep my own money safe. You just need to keep yours safe! As long as I have food to eat, you'll never go hungry! Don't think about anything else!"
Cao San Niang didn't want to hear this outcome. She had gotten used to her son's indifference towards her. Ever since she had a falling out with the Mo family, this was the way the mother and son usually interacted.
But she couldn't stand not having the money in her hands. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "I signed the document back then. If I don't agree, you won't be able to get the money back! You'd better think it through!"
Cao Erdan suddenly looked up, his face turning pale instantly.
When Cao Sanniang saw this, she smiled smugly, thinking that victory was in her grasp. Just as she was about to continue persuading him, Cao Erdan ran away.
He went to inquire with the buyers.
After understanding the situation, the buyer informed Cao Erdan that the agreement was in effect and the deadline was the end of the month, at which point Cao Erdan could begin harvesting.
The signature was Cao San Niang's, but not entirely. To be precise, it was Cao Er Dan who held Cao San Niang's hand and wrote it.
These are all secondary issues. The important thing is that the agreement is valid, which means that Cao Erdan will still accept the flowers he picked!
Once the agreement is signed, it becomes effective. As long as the deadline has passed and Cao Erdan is still Cao Sanniang's son, the buyer will execute the agreement!
As for who gets the money and who sells it, it naturally goes to them!
Cao Erdan was relieved after hearing this.
But Cao San Niang was a little overwhelmed because she had just wanted to use her status as Cao Er Dan's mother to demand that all the money be handed over to her in the future!
Buyers are not allowed to give money to Cao Erdan privately!
However, her plan was about to fall through!
She came up with another idea: if she couldn't ask for it in front of everyone, she would force him to take it out when they got home!
Doesn't Cao Erdan love his sister very much?
Then let's use our daughter to fight back!
Let's see who's better!
I refuse to believe he won't compromise!
Giving money to my mother is a matter of course; refusing to do so would be a sin against heaven!
Cao Erdan wasn't stupid, and he naturally thought of this too. He suddenly felt that his life had lost its light, and the starlight that had just been ignited was about to fall!
The buyer suddenly said, "If you find it troublesome, you can keep track of the accounts, and we'll settle the bill together later! We'll give everyone a small wooden board, and we also have a record of it here. Anyone who wants one can come and get it!"
The starlight that had fallen from Cao Erdan's eyes reignited, and he immediately ran over.
"I want it! Give me a small piece of wood!"
