When my husband went out today and said he was going to have dinner with his college friends, I couldn’t help feeling that something was wrong. I called an acquaintance and he gave my husband away. I had no idea he would lie to me like that.

即使你骗了我，我也不会生气。

Even if ...: Even if you lied to me, I won't be angry.

你本身就智商捉急，被人贩子卖了还帮人数钱的主，感情这事儿您就别瞎操心了。只是得警惕任何时候都小心别上当受骗了。

I think I should be worried about your IQ, you've fallen for his line hook, line and sinker and even thanked him for his trouble. You worry yourself over nothing when it comes to relationships. You should just be cautious at all times not to be fooled.

那可太好了，我这头一回来大城市，一下了火车都不知道往哪里走了，能遇到你这半个小老乡也是我走运了。（张铁柱喜出望外，放下行李握住骗子的手）

Oh how great. What great luck that on my first trip to the big city I chanced to meet someone pretty much from my home town as soon as I got off the train. (Zhang Tiezhu looks overwhelmed with joy and puts down his luggage to shake hands with the con man)

只要能赚到钱，这钱我交，这个月我省点就行了，现在家里都盼着我能早点赚到钱，我一定要混出个样子来。（张铁柱从衣服内袋里掏出一个塑料袋，层层剥开，数出一沓小面值的钞票点给骗子），唉，这里是九十八块五，已经是我身上所有的钱了，来，你拿着，带我去厂里吧。

As long as I can earn money, I can hand over the deposit. I'll just have to economize a bit this month. My family are all looking to me to earn some money as soon as possible, so I should really make good on it. (Zhang Tiezhu fishes out a plastic bag from an inside pocket, unwraps it layer by layer, and counts out a wad of small face-value notes for the con man). Agh, Here's 98.50. That's all the money I have on me. Here, take it, bring me to the factory.

唉，差了一点，好吧，到时我给说说，那我们这就去厂里。（骗子将钱揣进口袋，二人挤上公交车）

Agh, you're just short a little. OK. I'll put a word in for you when the time comes. So let's go to the factory. (The con man puts the money into his pocket, and they both squeeze their way on to a bus)

大哥，這就是我上班的地方（骗子指着厂门口的招牌）。

dàgē ，zhè jiùshì wǒ shàngbān de dìfang （piànzi zhǐ zhe chǎng ménkǒu de zhāopái ）。

Buddy, this is where I work (the con man points to the sign by the factory gate).

张铁柱在厂门口等着，时间一分一秒过去了，始终不见有人出来，心中不安起来，他问遍了所有出来的工人，厂里是否有这个人，大家都摇头说不知道。张铁柱这时突然意识到自己被骗了，而且被骗了全部的身家。他一屁股瘫坐在地上，欲哭无泪。

Zhang Tiezhu waits at the gate of the factory. As minutes pass, without seeing anyone emerging, he begins to get uneasy. He asks everyone who comes out of the factory if the guy really works at the factory. Everyone shakes their head and says that they don't know. It suddenly dawns on Zhang Tiezhu that he's been conned, and that he's been conned out of everything he owns. His legs give out and he falls to the ground, wanting to cry but no tears come.
