He told me to go away and not to go up. I asked Yim Ping
saying "Is he not in?" He then told me to go away. I went
together with Yim Ping to a street on the rear to take congee.
Yim Ping (again) told me not to go up. I asked him why. He
said "Any way, don't go up". I then told him all of my case
and he told me to go and prosecute him (Yim Chun). I told him
I had no money. He said "Nothing can be done if you have no
money. It is better not to look for him. If you have money
and could not succeed in prosecuting him here you can return

dislike him. Once you have prosecuted him both of them have to

the meal in his place Yim Ping said "I will speak for you and
so you need not go". I said "After the meal go and tell him to
come. I will wait for you here." He said "Alright". After the
meal he went away, but did not return after I waited for
practically one whole hour. I then went to the door way of
house No.211 to meet him. After meeting him he said (Yim Chun)
also got angry with him. I asked whether (Yim Chun) was still
there or not. He said (Yim Chun) had already gone. I asked him
to devise some means at any rate for me. He said "Let me think
