"These items are far too precious; you shouldn't be giving them to me!" Ran Qiuye had assumed the Deaf Old Lady only possessed some silverware, never imagining she would have such valuable jade.
She felt it was wrong to accept such an extravagant gift. Even if the Deaf Old Lady relied on them for her care in her later years, that was no excuse to take so much from her. If the Deaf Old Lady were to sell these treasures, she could live a life of complete comfort. Therefore, Ran Qiuye believed it was best for the Deaf Old Lady to keep them for herself, as they were more than enough to ensure she lived a happy life.
"They're useless to me just sitting there. What good do they do in my hands? I can't take them with me to the grave, can I? I've already set aside a few pieces to be buried with, and the rest might as well go to you—keeping them is just a waste."
