Scattered hands are normal before the Charleston, pass boldly and re-read.

Keep and pass
Worth holding: Green Dragon, East, North, West, Flower.
In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:
1 Bam: a loner, serves neither Winds & Dragons nor Consecutive Numbers
4 Dot: a loner, serves neither Winds & Dragons nor Consecutive Numbers
6 Dot: a loner, serves neither Winds & Dragons nor Consecutive Numbers
