"Now will I not eat this meat!" cried Wang Lung angrily. " We will eat meat that we can buy or beg, but not that which we steal. Beggars we may be but thieves we are not." And he took the meat out of the pot with his two fingers and threw it upon the ground and was heeless of the younger lad's howling.
Then O-lan came forward in her stolid fashion and she picked up the meat and washed it off witha little water and thrust it back into the boiling pot. "Meat is meat." she said quietly.

"There is nothing to sell except the girl," she answered slowly.
Wang Lung's breath caught. "Now, I would not sell a child!" he said loudly.
" I was sold to a great house so that my parents could return to their home."
"And would you sell the child, therefore?"
" If it were only I, she would be killed before she was sold... the slave of slaves was I!"

"Tell me, and were you beaten in that great house?"
And she answered him flatly and somberly, "Every day was I beaten."
And he cried again, "But was it just witha girdle of cloth or was it with bamboo or rope?"
And she answered in the same dead away, "I was beaten with a leather which had been halter one of the mules, and it hung upon the kitchen wall."
"This child of ours is a pretty little maid, even now. Tell me, were the pretty slaves beaten also?"
And she answered indifferently, as though it were nothing to her this way or that, "Aye, beaten or carried to a man's bed, as the whim was, and no to one man's only but to any that might desire her that night, and the young lords bickered and bartered with each other of this slave or that and said, 'Then if you tonight, I tomorrow, ' and when they were all like wearied of a slave the men servants bickered and barered for what the young lords left, and this before a salve was out of childhood-if she were pretty."

He had no articulate thought of anything; there was only this perfect sympathy of movement, of turning this earth of theris over and over to the sun, this erth which formed their home and fed their bodies and made their gods. The earth lay rich and dark, and fell apart lightly under the points of their hoes. Sometimes they truned up a bit of brick, a splinter of wood. It was nothing. Some time, in some age, bodies of men and women had been buried there, house, some time, return into the arth, their bodies also. Each had his turn at this earth.

"If you sell the land, it is the end." 
And his two sons held him, one on either side, each holding his arm, and he held tight in his hand the warm loose earth. And they soothed him and they said over and over, the elder som and the second son,
"Rest assured, our father, rest assurd. The land is not to be sold."
But over the old man's head they looked at each other and smiled.
