'why does he not ask for more flower on money?"

she punishes him if he asks for more after she gives him some on her own

only gives like 1g at a time

if you go ask for help money or flower and get punished then only get .5  half a gram or a tiny amount

it would take 4 grams at least to recover from that punishment

better off not asking and just suffering alone as long as you can possibly take
