"It's good that you're taking him away, otherwise he's still so little… life is just too hard!"
"Yeah, it really is hard," Li Yifei said.
"I'll pay for her living expenses then. Oh, I don't mean to look down on you, it's just… I don't know what your situation is now, and there are already several kids at home.

It's my little way of doing something," Hu Yu'er said carefully, as if afraid of touching a raw nerve with Li Yifei.
"It's fine, I can afford it!" Li Yifei laughed and said, "After I left the army, I've been doing pretty well."
"Doesn't look like it," Hu Yu'er said, shaking her head.
"You actually don't believe me?" Li Yifei shot back.
"I do, just… not completely," Hu Yu'er said.
"Alright, we've pretty much talked it through, I'll head back now."
