"留余庆，留余庆，忽遇恩人；幸娘亲，幸娘亲，积得阴功。劝人生济困扶穷，休似俺那爱银钱忘骨肉的狠舅奸兄。正是乘除加减，上有苍穹。"

Some good remained, Some good remained: The daughter found a friend in need Through her mother's one good deed. So let all men the poor and meek sustain, And from the example of her cruel kin refrain, Who kinship scorned and only thought of gain. For far above the constellations One watches all and makes just calculations. — Chapter 5; of Jia Qiaojie.
