An An stood there, looking at her grandmother's back, feeling a little regretful. She shouldn't have said those words to her grandmother. What if her grandmother tied her up with a rope later?
Thinking of this, her bright big eyes turned, and she took a few steps back. She looked sideways and saw that the position where she was standing was in a straight line with the gate. As soon as she saw her grandmother taking out the rope, she would run away. Her grandmother had poor legs and would definitely not be able to catch up with her.
At this time, grandma came out of the house. She didn't take a rope, but took out a handkerchief. An An stared at the handkerchief with her eyes fixed. She wanted to see what was inside. She was afraid that grandma would catch her when she wasn't paying attention.
As soon as grandma stepped over the threshold, she waved to her.
"Girl, come here, grandma has something for you."
An An hesitated timidly for a while, not daring to go forward. Grandma called out again:
"Come here, don't you want to leave here? Grandma's legs are not good, so I can't help you. Here are some copper coins, you can use them on the way."

"My family is poor. I have saved up these few copper coins for most of my life. Take them all. Although it's not much, it can buy you some food on the way."
An An didn't want to take the copper coins. She knew that these copper coins might be her grandmother's coffin money, but she was penniless. If she didn't buy something to eat on the way, she would starve to death.
With red eyes, she stretched out her hands to take the copper coins handed over by her grandmother and nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Grandma, thank you."
Grandma waved her hands with tears in her eyes.
"Let's go. This is not your home, and you don't belong here. Remember, go south along the official road after you leave the house. You'll reach Yancheng in less than two miles. If you're lucky, you might run into merchants heading to the capital, and some kind-hearted people might give you a ride."
