Liu - Grain Merchant:
Mr. Wang, two clever sons like these are the better half of your wealth. Wang Lung:
They're stupid, worthless creatures. If anything was driven into their thick, brass skulls it was by beating them. I told their teacher to beat them. He beat them so well that this one's going to the university. Liu - Grain Merchant:
Indeed. Elder Son:
If I'm not too unworthy, I hope to win a degree in agriculture. Liu - Grain Merchant:
Degree ? Agriculture ? Wang Lung:
That's some kind of paper that will make it rain just enough, but not too much

We'll not put our names
to anything wrongly written!
00:00:02.096 --> 00:00:06.092
Mr Wong, 2 clever sons like these,
00:00:06.301 --> 00:00:08.237
are the better half of your wealth!
00:00:08.438 --> 00:00:10.423
They're stupid worthless preachers,
00:00:10.635 --> 00:00:12.096
If anything was driven
to their big bright skulls
00:00:13.162 --> 00:00:14.652
it was by beating them!
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.428
I told that teacher to beat them!
00:00:17.437 --> 00:00:21.232
He beat them so well,
that this one's going to the university.
00:00:21.243 --> 00:00:23.803
- Indeed!
- If I'm not too unworthy.
00:00:23.814 --> 00:00:25.742
I hope to win a degree in agriculture!
00:00:25.953 --> 00:00:27.855
A degree!? Agriculture!?
00:00:27.888 --> 00:00:28.098
That's somekind of paper
00:00:29.189 --> 00:00:31.998
that will make it rain just enough.
00:00:31.397 --> 00:00:33.388
But not too much!
00:00:33.398 --> 00:00:35.989
And you? You going too?
00:00:36.192 --> 00:00:38.486
No sir! I'll stay on my father's land,
00:00:38.069 --> 00:00:39.783
when my brother returns
00:00:40.003 --> 00:00:41.393
he'll show me
what more can be done with it
00:00:41.597 --> 00:00:42.622
than we have done!
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.495
Now then that's talk enough,
00:00:44.703 --> 00:00:48.695
take the money home.
00:01:06.146 --> 00:01:08.002
My ignorant daughter!
00:01:08.997 --> 00:01:09.031
A beautiful girl!
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.455
Oh she has a wretched appearance!
00:01:11.458 --> 00:01:14.858
Now you two might mix
your blood in one bowl!
00:01:15.993 --> 00:01:18.128
Oh but your daughter
is much too good for my son.
00:01:18.136 --> 00:01:22.001
Oh no! But you would never
come decend to such a marriage!
00:01:22.271 --> 00:01:24.986
Oh but I couldn't presume
to look so high!
00:01:24.997 --> 00:01:28.001
It's impossible! Quite impossible!
