Exactly what Qing and her Parents said or have told me in many ways. The $500 I gave them, I received back on the next trip and there was no option to say NO!

Neil:
I just asked my wife.  We gave her parents 3600 rmb each.

Pineau:
I built a new house in YIYang. Her mom still lives there although my name is still on title. I also supported her immediate family for 10 years and paid the hospital bills for when her brother was dying of cancer.

I don't think it was necessary for me to go to those extremes but I was happy to do it at the time and it gave Jing bragging rights over all her friends.
