"Just boil it all" "Ten doses will be more like it" "Or you'll purge to death" "Just do as I told you" "You women talk too much" "Hurry" "Sure, fine" "What is it?" "Wait, it's still early" "We should return the cows" "What?" "You're such a coward" "You have to be tougher" "Poison..." "Are you trying to poison me?" "Have a piece of sweet" "I can't mix the herbs with other things" "Fine, let me have it" "What's wrong?" "What's with you?" "Beans..." "Bean paper" "Beans" "T oilet paper!" "Hurry!" "What's the matter?" "C'mon quick!" "What's the point of the pants?" "Hurry" "Little Fairy is playing a joke on me" "Hurry..." "Hurry..." "Hurry up" "Show me how you move" "You bastard, show me how you move" "If you have the guts" "Move!" "See if you could pull out my cow" "You bastard" "Go on" "Show me how you move" "Oh, that's him" "What did he say?" "He said, 'show me how you move'" "It's all your fault" "I told you to send the cows back" "Now you move them" "You bastard, show me how you move" "Go ahead, I'll wait until morning" "Show me how you move" "See if you could pull out my cow" "Go on" "Looks like he has found out" "What should we do?" "Any suggestions?" "I told you to return them" "Send both back?" "I don't think so" "Say, how about we feast on the small one" "And send back the big one?" "Go on..." "Laoji, the cow's back" "The cow" "Stop sighing" "Happy now?" "Let's sleep" "The Little Fairy is good" "Where's the calf?" "As long as the big one's here" "Let me tell you, you're still alive you owe it to me" "What are you talking about?" "The laxative you bought" "If I'd have boiled them all..." "You'd be dead" "How much did you put?" "Half" "Half of it?" "I told you to boil them all" "No wonder the calf isn't back" "Not a good match" "I'll fix you when I come back" "Just go" "Have you eaten?" "I'm still waiting for him" "Son of a gun!" "What?" "My husband" "He better die outside" "Mr. Zheng is away again?" "Yes" "He's gone to Baoding" "He said he'll be gone for a month" "What kind of married life is this!" "He never stays for more than 3 days" "I've even got to fetch my own water for a bath" "Poor girl, Zhao" "You help Mrs. Zheng with the water" "Sure, let me fill in for Mr. Zheng" "Mrs. Zhao" "Listen to your husband" "Don't make Mrs. Zhao jealous" "He only knows how to brag" "His name is Zhao Dezhu" "But you can't trust him" "That's true" "My husband's called Zheng Fucheng" "He's quite useless" "Come, let me help you" "Don't let me catch you two in the act" "Zhao..." "Don't forget to come back" "I know" "If you're like last time" "And you didn't show up, I'll kill you" "I know" "Zhao..." "I better go" "Bitch" "Be careful, I'm not blind" "What are you talking about?" "What?" "I know everything" "Don't try to fool me" "You women are all so jealous" "You better be careful" "Listen" "If you try anything tonight" "Who is it?" "It's me, open up" "Zhao..." "Oh no!" "Who is it?" "Mrs. Zhao, is my husband here?" "Why would he be here?" "Open up and let me check" "Open the door" "Get in, hurry" "Open up" "Coming" "It's strange!" "My husband isn't here?" "Are you kidding?" "It's the middle of the night" "My husband isn't here" "Why would he be here?" "Then where is he?" "Stand still" "What do you want?" "What do I want, huh!" "Where did you hide my husband?" "You've got no evidence" "Sure, I'll give you the evidence" "Why're you here to search for him?" "You bitch!" "Beat you to death" "You... you didn't go to Baoding?" "T o Baoding!" "I didn't trust you" "How could I go away?" "Why are you hiding here?" "Looking stunned" "You ask him" "What is he doing?" "Your husband" "Okay c'mon, get out" "Let's talk this over at home" "I won't let you off the hook" "What are you doing here?" "In the middle of the night?" "Mr. Zheng is back" "I came here just for a chat, you see" "Shame on you" "You should be ashamed!" "You lied about going to Baoding" "What are you doing slipping back here?" "Calling me shameless;" "You're stealing her husband" "You useless..." "You..." "Fine" "Let's make peace" "T o hell with peace" "Shame on you" "Your wife's sleeping with someone else" "Your husband seduced my wife" "Shame on you" "Why are you blaming others for your impotence?" "Me?" "How do you know?" "Last December" "You took me to a hotel" "You did nothing all night" "Just kept on heaving sighs!" "I mean, it was so frustrating" "You bastard" "You seduced my wife, I'm going to kill you" "Little Fairy"
