good person day 3

so the cousin is real.because he just came for a visit.but he said that shen teh has been detained?so she got arrested?for what?i thoguht she'd get in trouble for lying about her cousin,but her cousin is real!so what did she do to get arrested?

but the family was confused about the cousin.so was he a lie to them,but shen teh had something up her sleave?so what is the cousin going to do with the shop because doesnt it belong to shen teh?

but i understand the anit-capitalism brecht has in this play now.like when shen teh got all of her money for the shop,she was almost attacked because of her sudden wealth,by beggers and people who needed a place to stay,and her shop was ruined from the start because alot of money fell inot a kind person's hands and while she had good intentions she was used by people and that hurt her.then when she has no more money,because she helped people,they will continue to ask for help and soon will wear her down,then beg for more,and become disappointed when there is no one help to be given.so the point he's trying to make i think is that money even in a good person's hands will hurt someone in the end.

and i feel like the cousin shui ta is saying everything shen teh couldn't say before.and i feel like the reason might be because he's a man and she isn't.when sheh teh said something no one would take her seriously,but when shui ta says something its ok.and he means business,i mean really???????

oh and wang came back for a bit.i'm still thinking about what his part ion this play is because so far it sems kind of centered around sheh teh and her "drama" you could say.
