"Child, where did you save all this money? This must not have been easy, right?" Grandmother felt that Wandong was somewhat different from what she had imagined. She had originally thought he would be a timid, honest boy who let others push him around. Who could have known he would secretly save money and hide it in the mountains?
"I heard someone was buying medicinal herbs before. I went to ask around and found out some of them were the exact same herbs I'd seen in the mountains, so I dug them up myself and went to sell them in secret. Oh, right, I found a small cave up in the mountains, and I hid everything in there."
Hearing him share his joy, the three of them felt a sense of relief. Their cousin could stand up to the Wan family on his own, which proved he wasn't blindly filial. They had previously worried that he was being bullied while working in the mountains every day. Now they knew he was just deliberately finding excuses to stay away from home and go out to make money.
