He made money from his barbecue stall but was unwilling to give her even a penny. When she asked her son to ask Jiang Jiaojiao for some money to buy New Year's goods, he made excuses and refused. He was truly unfilial.
Qin Shi grew angrier the more she thought about it, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Jiang Jiaojiao, saying:
