Chen Ming knew what Mrs. Hu was thinking and sighed with the money in his hand, "It doesn't seem like a small sum, but with our household expenses, medicine, houses repairs, it'll be gone in a flash." He then said to Mrs. Chen, "Mother, our family is either weak or sick, and keeping this much money makes me uneasy. Please keep these three thousand cents for me, they can be used for house repairs, purchasing clay bricks, lumber for our bed, and so forth. It'll also be easier for big brother to draw from it when needed."
The old lady agreed and took the money.
