"Mother, Wen'er is a scholar now. Such a small amount of reward silver, once given out, it's done. Trying to retrieve it will be such a disgrace! Besides, it was father who gave the reward. If you go after it, wouldn't it make him look like a flip-flopper?"

Mrs. Shen was not concerned about being disgraceful, she only cared about the silver! Seeing that nobody was willing to retrieve it, she wailed directly: "Such a small amount of reward silver? All you do all day is eat and drink, indulge Yourself and yield nothing! You just think about how to suck your parents' blood all day long! Why don't I see you giving me any silver? Oh God, I can't live this life anymore! Giving away five taels of silver as a reward, it's like eating my flesh ..."

Mrs. Lan blushed with embarrassment. It seemed as though she had been using their silver.
