Chen Afu nodded and took the silver. Then she pulled out a silver ingot worth ten taels and asked, "Uncle Yang, could you help me exchange this for ten one-tael silver ingots?"
Yang Mingyuan exchanged it for smaller ones for her.
After earning another amount, Chen Afu was delighted and said to Dabao, "Dabao, we should get going."
Upon hearing that they were leaving, Yang Chao and Yang Qian were unwilling, especially Yang Qian. Tears welled up in her eyes. She pleaded, "Play with us a bit longer. We like Hui Hui and we'll miss her."
These two children had been well brought up. They did not disdain Dabao and Chen Afu for being shabbily dressed, nor did they insist on keeping Hui Hui. Chen Afu was highly impressed with them, thus her perception of the shrewd Yang family merchants improved too. Their good parenting indicated good character. If in future any good food came to her mind, she could consider collaborating with them again.
