"Madam, please have mercy, I have only an old mother and a weak younger brother at home. Even if I take this money and leave, I still can't hold onto it," said Xiaoyu, crying. "I also have an uncle and a third uncle. My father died early, and if my uncle's family knows I took this money back, I fear we won't even get ten taels."
Ming Lan responded, "Are you foolish? Can't you keep it a secret?"
"Aunt, you make it sound easy, but leaving the Capital City requires travel documents and household registration. My family has always relied on my uncle and third uncle's household. When my grandmother passed, she didn't separate our family, and our household registration is still with them, held by my aunt. How can we leave the Capital City without them knowing?"
Yang Chuxia exhaled with relief at these words, "That's simple. Once you leave, I'll have someone help you re-register."
