Ma Siyi's mother stayed in the small courtyard for less than half a month before she started getting restless. Previously, she had approached He Wenjie to transfer the property ownership for herself and Ge Siwei, but Ma Siyi had ruined her plans. Soon after, He Wenjie left Flower Street to look into overseas schools for himself and Ma Siyi. Ma Siyi's mother had originally planned to wait for He Wenjie to return and try to get the property from him again, but after waiting many days without seeing him, she asked Ma Siyi and learned that he had actually gone abroad to inspect schools.
Hearing that He Wenjie was going to take Ma Siyi abroad to study, Ma Siyi's mother could no longer sit still. She knew her daughter too well; if He Wenjie really took her away, given Ma Siyi's resentment toward her, it was very likely she would never see Ma Siyi again.
"No, I don't agree to you going abroad with him. Do you know how much money it costs to study abroad? For a girl, the most important thing is to find a good man to marry, stay home, and raise children. Instead of wasting money on going abroad, you might as well buy an apartment for your younger brother for his future wedding. Look at you—if you hadn't stopped me last time and let He Wenjie give your brother an apartment, would I still have to worry about your brother?"
