He looked around and observed his surroundings.

"Binh, the visit to the doctor has made our financial situation even harder, I'm not sure it was worth it..." Alex heard an unfamiliar female voice from outside the small doors of the hut.
A man replied, "Chau-em, one day, the goddess of fortune shall pay out her karmic debts to us, what if the man drowned in the river and died?"
"You're right...."
Alex slowly approached the door, and unexpectedly, the two beyond it opened the door.
