WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“He has some nerve asking for more money when he still owes us five grand!”
💡 Cultural Insight: Family Debt and Obligation

While lending money among relatives is customary in Chinese culture, failing to repay past loans while asking for more violates reciprocity and often leads to being branded an ungrateful 'white-eyed wolf' (白眼狼).
