“Please just have some mercy and stop giving him such a hard time, I am begging you.”
The phrase for 'doing a good deed' derives from traditional Buddhist concepts of accumulating merit through charity. In modern Chinese, speakers use it hyperbolically with close friends or family to lower their own status and make a refusal seem heartless.

okay? / alright? / will that do?
