Once mother and daughter both calmed down, Mrs. He also gave up on trying to dissuade Ye Jiu.
This child might look frail, but her resolve was too strong, and Mrs. He knew that any further persuasion would be futile.
Still, Mrs. He opened the money box, leaving only a few scattering taels of silver, then pushed the rest towards Ye Jiu, "My dear child, take all this with you. The outside world is not like home; there will be many places where money is needed. It's better to have extra than to be stuck when you need it. Your mother has plenty to eat and drink at home, and money comes in every now and then from the soap business; we don't lack this much."
Ye Jiu pushed the money box back and smiled at Mrs. He, "Mother, I am not short of money. You should know, I am the richest person in our family!"
Mrs. He shook her head, her eyes already misty with tears.
Ye Jiu, in the end, did not take the money.
Ye Jiu's plans to go to the capital city were still unknown to Old Man Ye.
