"Be smart yourself, don't go out unless it's necessary. Let them do the grocery shopping, and try not to leave home alone in case someone tries to kidnap you for ransom. I'll have a private detective keep an eye on the three of you for your safety."
"I know. Besides, I don't even want to do the grocery shopping anymore. With the New Year around the corner, everything is getting more expensive. Mom and Dad still scold me for not bargaining and always buying the most expensive vegetables."
"You need to learn from me on this: let whatever they say go in one ear and out the other. Just endure it until you're of age, and then you can just walk away. The world is wide and free, and you don't know how great it is to live alone in a rented place."
Ye Bing's face showed longing.
"Mmm, don't worry, big sister, I'll endure it until I'm of age."
Ye Nai patted Little Sister Ye's head.
"Take a nap, I'll wake you up in a bit. I need to find a private detective."
