"When people are poor, there's really no way out. We aren't those heartless people, like you, Old Lai, we know, you're always a good person, you shouldn't take it out on us."
"... If we can't repay you in this life, we'll be your ox and horse in the next life."
"Today, we're here for two things: first, to kowtow and apologize to you, Old Master; second, to propose a marriage for Elder Brother Shouren, to repay your great kindness."
The brothers were crying bitterly, kowtowing, and slapping their own faces, saying on one hand that Old Master Lian was a great benefactor and on the other hand admitting their faults. Of course, what they did was out of desperation, all due to poverty, and so on.
Old Master Lian sighed deeply and then helped the brothers to their feet.
"Sit down, sit and talk in front of me." Old Master Lian invited the Woo Family Brothers to sit in front of him.
