居久之，母年老，欲歸省。 After long service in the capital, his mother had grown old and he wished to return home to visit her.

悉舉貲斧寄母，獨留百金，復分其半助邑館貧不能歸者。 He sent all his money and belongings to his mother, kept only a hundred taels for himself, and gave half of that to help poor fellow townsmen at the provincial lodge who could not afford to return home.
