Wah... MC you REALLY very free hor? Since I'm free as well, I play along with this future may-be Mod... haha
Depending on how each's upbringing, different people see and do things differently.
For example:
In the Ah-Long's (Loan Shark [not related to reefing]) eyes, if someone cannot pay the loan, they will find the family members, spouses, anyone they can relate strong relationship with the borrower. Very much like neantherdals.
Then in other's eyes, one is responsible for one's action. If the person was guilty of something, this group of people will not put blame on any other person unless can prove that the bad actions are solicited from people around the person in question. Just like the law, you go kill people, you kena hang. Not your whole family, grandparents, maids, servants, pets will be killed as well just like in the ancient china. haha
Why? Are people saying your whole family and friends are very free? lol
