After hearing this, Qin Shuping said, "He Yuzhu, you are the same age as my older brother. You are 16 years old, or nearly 18 by traditional counting—you're almost an adult. Yet, it seems you've grown in height but not in brains. What was wrong with what Yushui said? Regardless of where your father ran off to, you should be able to find him. If you don't look after your own home first, what will you eat and drink when all your belongings are stolen?"
He Yuzhu stiffened his neck and retorted, "With Master Yi and Madame Jia helping to watch over things, how could anything possibly be stolen?"
Qin Shuping's face grew cold; he hated talking to people who lacked common sense. "Brother Damao, take him aside and have a proper talk with him. If he won't listen, just hit him. If you can't handle him, I'll deal with it."
