What did Aram's Mother mean to say in the above lines? & Why did she say it? 
lesson- The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse by William Saroyan

Dear Student, 

The narrator's uncle, Uncle Khosrove shouted and rebuked the farmer, John Byro for lamenting over the loss of his horse. He told the farmer that they have lost their homeland and therefore, the loss of a horse holds no importance to him. The farmer's arguments aggravated the anger of Uncle Khosrove, who finally said "I spit on money" and stormed out of the house. After he left, Aram's mother, to lighten the situation, stated that uncle Khosrove is a large person with a kind heart, who very much misses his native land. She actually, here tries to give a justification for uncle Khosrove's outburst.
