"What's there to give! You're not allowed to give it! Second brother, don't you treat me as your brother, and don't you treat Huihui and sisi as your nephews?" Uncle Gu was not happy.

in his opinion, no one would really give money. the children were just helping out. they were a family, so how could they give money?

As far as he knew, a brother's family could buy good food for their daughter, buy beautiful clothes, and add some makeup for her when she got married. But if they had to pay for something, wouldn't they be treating her as an outsider?
