Duan Sanzhu looked at Duan Haifeng, frowned, and asked, "Why? Wouldn't we be scolded as heartless if we separated the family at this moment? This will stain your name and be detrimental to your future."
Duan Haifeng looked at his grandfather and patiently explained, "Grandfather, if there are criminals in the family, I cannot take the imperial examination. This has been the unchangeable rule since the founding of our empire. Moreover, with our current economic situation, we obviously cannot afford to pay the Yamen two hundred taels of silver. Also, after my eldest uncle is imprisoned, do you think those lazy people will come out to make money?"
