"Blood brother, blood brother, our blood brother visits us, and this is how we treat him? Did you see Wang Zhengjun's expression? He was angry and disgusted. I guess he felt humiliated by his elder brother and thought the amount of food he brought was too less."
"If he were my brother, I wouldn't even give him a single head of cabbage, let alone dried sweet potatoes, corn cobs, cabbages, radishes, and beans!"
"Country folk are so straightforward and simple, didn't you hear old Li say that?"
"We need to be cautious of Wang Zhengjun. This man, he's no good. If he treats his own brother like this, how would he treat others? If he gets promoted, we, the ones who often compete with him, are done for!"
"Right, right, right, we can't let him get ahead. His wife is no better than him. Haven't you heard her sister-in-law complaining?"
"We can't ostracize him too openly, or else he will surely hold a grudge against us."
