Meng Shuyan didn't like what the old man's son did, but she wanted to save the old man and also wanted to find help for her grandfather.
I walked up to my grandfather and whispered a few words to him.
Mr. Meng thought his granddaughter's idea was very agreeable. "Will they agree?"
"Now they are begging us, if they don't want to, then forget it.
