Pan Shanhua stared at the fifteen hundred yuan in the passbook, her heart aching so intensely she was trembling. "So much money—it was supposed to be the Xiang family's, yet now it has to be handed back. Over a thousand yuan!

She checked the date the money had been deposited; it was the day after her daughter returned home. She hadn't noticed a thing. With a sinister look, she turned toward her daughter. "Xia, if you had this much money, why were you crying poor to me before?"
Xiang Yuanxia’s eyes darted away, afraid to meet her mother’s gaze. "Mom, this money... it was savings I put away for Niuniu’s living expenses. I... I didn't mean to lie to you."
