Why do people treat Africa (and Europe for that matter) as a country? Problems in Somalia are very different from those in Eritrea, Egypt, Morocco or South-Africa. Also, as a European, I find it insulting to describe Africa as a penal colony. I can't imagine how Africans see it.
Because Qin Runyang was going to Africa, the family subconsciously started paying attention to news reports related to Africa, only to find that the environment there, as well as public security, indeed could not compare to that at home.

You don't need a warrant: you're invited by the lady of the house. And there is probable cause to suspect there is an ongoing crime taking place. Not that that matters, because even police are allowed to enter buildings they are invited into by someone allowed to invite them.
"This isn't just some random family where you can waltz in and demand access," Garry argued, his voice tense. "We don't have a warrant, and this could blow up in our faces. We could get reported for this."

The label only sticks because you let it.
The label of "illegitimate daughter" twisted Madam Zhou's heart, and looking at her daughter's delicate face only intensified the ache.

He is stupid enough to believe in superstition. That's why he can't pass the examinations.
"Husband, I—I didn't mean to bring it up on purpose, just that I find this mother and daughter to be ill-omened. Tell me, if not for their bad luck, why would you have failed your exams time after time? Forget scholar, you might well have been a Juren by now, an official lord..." Madam Lu's voice dwindled under his glowering look, as she stooped to pick up the water basin from the floor.

Most people have only one right hand. And one left hand. Some have less.
Li Chongbai watched her, as her only right hand moved like an agile butterfly, dancing gracefully.

He interned for a month ... How much did he learn in a month? Did he get fired so soon?
Nan Luzhi took a sip of tea and replied leisurely, "Don't worry. The person I've found this time is the son of your uncle; he studied law at University A, then interned at Attorney Li's firm for a month."

You buy people? I can understand hiring, buying their loyalty, services or time, but not buying people.
This reminder contorted Luo Ji's face with both rage and viciousness, "These guys were specially bought by me last night. They're here to make sure you get a taste of a beating today."

Hmm, indeed. "I promise you, I'll have you join this dead person as his apprentice." sounds a bit like a threat.
"If you can lend it to me, when Ghost Doctor Chang Ming returns from overseas in two weeks, I'll introduce you to him, guaranteed to get you chosen as his closed-door disciple."

Someone like that, what did you expect ?
She lifted her pale little face, and with a bitter smile, said, "When I was beaten to near death in the countryside by my uncle, you said you hoped I would die soon; how can you have the nerve to ask me to repay kindness now?"
Urban · Bai Liushi
Is it smart to beat him up when the police is on its way?
His head was buzzing and his body ached fiercely, he was so furious he was about to explode, "What right do you have to hit someone, you...argh..."
