列美母:
Liemei’s Mother:
Please listen to me for the details.
I am afraid that Jijin will not only compensate for the cost of his marriage breaking but also will get a lot of lawsuit.
I come to tell you the truth in my bottom heart,so please do not tremble at anger and tell others that you meet.
It will hurt us the parents if we just trust our children,so only when Jinxie refuse to marry Liemei do we allow Liemei marry Jijin.
Now,we are trapped in the thistles and thorns,and seem not to overcome such difficulties,so be careful that the solution within the countryside regulations will destroy our past relationship.
Please call a spade a spade,instead of quarreling with each other,and your family should face the music when worms damage the cases of Jinxie’s cost on Liemei one day.
[1] Haot,人名。金谢父亲。
[2] hunt,使之混乱或伤害。
[3] xangx sonv,蛀虫。
[4] 列美已嫁金谢,现又与吉金相恋。按侗族传统婚姻款约规定,如吉金与列美成婚,金谢的经济损失都由吉金来承担。
