Scout learned from Atticus, her father, that the Cunninghams were country farmers, and were decimated by the stock crash. He explained to her they were very proud, and did not accept charity, leading to Walter Cunningham's refusal of lunch money offered by the teacher. She learned that Mr Cunningham's entailment was being paid off in produce, since he had no cash.
