"Before, I figured if Brother Qin died, I'd cry over him, then go back to school and take over the mess at home. But things are different now. Brother Qin's operations keep growing, and we keep getting stronger."
"If Brother Qin really died now, every last one of us, including my dad and yours, would probably be joining him before long."
