WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“He wouldn't swallow his pride to ask for money unless he was truly desperate, so you must help him.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Elder Brother Responsibility and Face

Borrowing money carries heavy face loss (丢面子); when a younger relative asks, an older brother (大哥) is culturally expected to step up and provide support.
