Phoebe Thorne and Brian Chapman were divorced. She got custody of Amanda Chapman and Allister, and Brian was to give her ten yuan a month for child support. Phoebe just wanted to get the divorce over with quickly; she didn't care if it was ten yuan or twenty.
All that mattered was that she got the children. As for her eldest son, Phoebe had to make the painful decision to let him go.
However, Phoebe wasn't completely unprepared. Before leaving, she had a long heart-to-heart talk with Gentry Chapman one night. She told her eldest son that if he ever went hungry, he should come find her at Millstone Peak.
But Raina was far from satisfied. Disappointed, she scolded her, "Are you stupid? Only ten yuan a month? What good is that little bit of money? You... you're hopeless!"
"Mom, I'll only get this ten yuan for a month at most. After that, the money will stop."
