Er La Niang never imagined her son would look at her like that. What kind of look was that!
Disappointment, sorrow, anger, detachment, and even a hint of contempt.
Seeing that look in Zhang Erlai's eyes, Er La Niang was too stunned to speak.
Zhang Erlai turned to Su Qing and apologized again. "I'm so sorry about what happened today. You got dragged into it."
"It's fine. I let off some steam, too." Su Qing raised an eyebrow slightly. "We'll be going then."
"Alright." Zhang Erlai nodded.
After watching Su Qing, Aunt Cuihua, Aunt Tao, and the crowd of villagers leave, Zhang Erlai went back into the house without giving his mother another glance.
Er La Niang stood stunned in the courtyard for a while, at a loss for what to do. All this time, she had felt that subsidizing her maiden family was only natural. 'It's no big deal to make my son and I sacrifice a little,' she thought. She had always believed that since Zhang Erlai never stopped her, he must have approved of her actions.
