Lian Shouyi now is almost like a barefoot man who's not afraid of those wearing shoes; he doesn't care about anything, and is as thick-skinned as can be. No matter how much Lady Zhou hits or scolds him, he doesn't take it to heart at all. The conflict between mother and son often leaves Lady Zhou extremely furious, yet Lian Shouyi remains indifferent.
Though Lady Zhou is domineering and formidable, she can't handle Lian Shouyi's constant fuss. She sometimes compromises for the sake of peace. It's during the August festival, Lady Zhou has plenty of cash on hand, and might likely sweeten the pot for Lian Shouyi to enjoy the holiday.
As for what Lian Shouyi will do with the benefits, whether he'll go astray or not, Lady Zhou doesn't really care. Or she thinks it's not her responsibility.
