Now the children have grown two years older, and will be ten years old after the New Year. They are much more sensible than before, and should not be running around anymore.
"Mom, you're the best! We definitely won't be as ignorant as we were when we were little, getting all confused as soon as we arrived in town and running around like crazy. We promise to be obedient and stay with you and Dad." Zhou Wufu pleaded and promised, trying his best to please her.
"Oh dear, why are you so difficult to deal with? We already agreed to let you go, what kind of tricks are you up to?" Zhao Guihua grabbed her youngest son's ear.
"Mom, let go! Stop pulling my ear! My sister's here, don't I have any dignity?" Zhou Wufu quickly jumped back and stopped bothering his mother.
"Let's talk this out, stop with all this nonsense." Zhao Guihua glared at the boys.

However, Zhou Sanfu did not give up so easily and continued to bargain, saying, "We dug up some herbs that we want to sell for money. We only have a little, not much. Mother, please loosen your grip."
"How much is 'not much'? You all know about herbs thanks to Xingxing. Don't forget her after you sell them for money, you know what to do?"
That means you've agreed.
The quintuplets were overjoyed and shouted excitedly. Zhou Erfu, in particular, held up Xingxing and said, "Little sister, when your brothers earn some copper coins, we'll buy you meat buns, pretty hair accessories, and lots of other things."
Xingxing: "...Second brother, please put me down quickly, your armpits are hurting from holding me up like that."
