I don't listen to him for the sake of my mother's chastity, because my son is young and my mother is in middle age. What I am afraid of is that after a hundred years, when I enter the Nine Springs, it will be difficult to see the ancestors who died. Oh my son! (Zhang Bai) Oh, old gang, you give me poverty! You make me poor, and you can't feed you when I don't deserve it!"
