Jonathan and his family get back to their normal routine after being robbed. Though this might feel weird Jonathan gives his reason "What is egg-rasher? Did I depend on it last week?"(394,Achebe) To Jonathan it did not really mean much since what cares more about is the safety of his family. So losing that money might have sucked but wasn't devastating.
