Chia Lien perceiving how heart-stirring her seductive charms were, forthwith clasped her in his arms, and begged her to be his; but Ping Erh snatched her hands out of his grasp and ran away out of the room; which so exasperated Chia Lien that as he bent his body, he exclaimed, full of indignation: What a dreadful niggardly young wench! she actually sets her mind to stir up peoples affections with her wanton blandishments, and then, after all, she runs away!
If I be wanton, its my own look-out; Ping Erh answered, from outside the window, with a grin, and who told you to arouse your affections? Do you forsooth mean to imply that my wish is to become your tool? And did she come to know about it would she again ever forgive me?
You neednt dread her! Chia Lien urged; wait till my monkey is up, and Ill take this jealous woman, and beat her to atoms; and shell then know what stuff Im made of. She watches me just as she would watch a thief! and shes only to hobnob with men, and Im not to say a word to any girl! and if I do say aught to a girl, or get anywhere near one, she must at once give way to suspicion. But with no regard to younger brothers or nephews, to young and old, she prattles and giggles with them, and doesnt entertain any fear that I may be jealous; but henceforward I too wont allow her to set eyes upon any man.
If she be jealous, theres every reason, Ping Erh answered, but for you to be jealous on her account isnt right. Her conduct is really straightforward, and her deportment upright, but your conduct is actuated by an evil heart, so much so that even I dont feel my heart at ease, not to say anything of her.
