"That's right, doing our old trade was much more comfortable, eating big pieces of meat, drinking from large bowls, why bother stifling ourselves in this lousy place, where this isn't allowed, that's forbidden, and suffer all these indignities..."

Boss Ma's expression shifted, and after a long time, he finally clenched his teeth and said, "I say! But I have a condition!"
"You think you're in a position to make terms with me?" Wang Yongzhu swept his gaze across the entire scene.
Boss Ma's face fell.
