Xie Zhinuan pulled out a pouch and took out three hundred-tael silver notes, stepped forward and stuffed them into Yuan Xiujie's hand, "I can't take you in, and you probably don't want to stay in the village either. Here's three hundred taels of silver. Having money will help you along the way, take it!"
"..."
Yuan Xiujie looked at Xie Zhinuan in astonishment.
This beautiful, gentle sister had shown him the warmest and kindest side of the world.
And the most considerate.
"Sister Xie..."
"Take it, I don't lack this bit of silver. With the silver, first give your mother a proper burial, and you must take good care of your younger brother and sister. The outside world is vast indeed, but dangers lurk everywhere. Remember not to flaunt your wealth and don't trust anyone easily. Aside from yourself, many are ready to stab you in the back!" She patted Yuan Xiujie's shoulder, "Dumb boy, take care!"
Xie Zhinuan would say no more.
She called Routuan and Dahuang to go home.
