All three long-term workers cried, huddling together in tears, creating quite a commotion that drew the attention of the villagers of Qili Village.
Zhou Dalang saw his younger brothers and sisters gathered there and, fearing they might be bullying someone, quickly approached and asked Zhou Silang in a low voice, "Are you bullying someone?"
Zhou Silang: "…We are clearly helping them! How could such good people as us bully anyone?"
Bai Shanbao looked on with disdain and said, "Enough with the crying. Isn't it just a wife? Work hard, and when we make a big profit next fall, we'll give you a big red envelope, and then you can get married."
The three still felt dejected, as they didn't believe a big red envelope could secure them a wife, especially since they didn't believe the three young masters could make a big profit.
Old Master Bai giving over such a piece of land to three children to mess around with would be lucky not to incur losses next year.
