Did they know what they wanted?
Other than silver, what else do they want?
They had never thought about their identity or status. They had never thought of working hard or studying to enrich themselves.
They thought that they could earn money by working for their aunt, but that was clearly not the case.
Their aunt didn't arrange any work for them. Instead, they were reading, studying, and practicing martial arts.
However, they could not keep up.
"My cousins had parents who took care of everything since they were born. When you were young, you only cared about having fun and occasionally helping the family with some work. But I wasn't. I was abandoned when I was three years old and was begging on the streets. Then, I was sold to be a slave. I caught the plague and was thrown into a mass grave. I was lucky enough to survive. I became a little beggar on the streets and was caught and sold to a Broker House."
