Qin Yu went back to his room to get his pajamas and went to the bathroom for a shower before returning to the kitchen to fetch the hot water.
"Jiale, are you asleep?" Nangong Shulan knocked on her younger daughter's bedroom door.
"Not yet, Mom, come in." Qin Jiale opened the door for her mother to enter.
"Jiale, your brother and I are going to find your sister tomorrow, and we don't know when we'll be back.
Take this money for your living expenses and take good care of yourself at school. Buy whatever you want to eat with the money, and don't be too frugal or hard on yourself.
Now you're the only one in school at home, and we've been more relaxed. Plus, your sister sent money back this time, which should be enough for us to live on for a long time.
So, from now on, feel free to buy whatever you want to eat." Nangong Shulan said to her sensible younger daughter.
