What did you spend your third transfer on?
I felt fearful that my children could be attacked at night by thieve or get into bad influence from walking at night to go sleep at their grandmother's house to sleep since my main house was small and couldn't accomodate them. I spent my third transfer on building a kitchen where my children sleep and now I have the peace of mind since they are close to me and at the same time they have an ample time to study . I also bought an ox and a she- cow which have grown .
