Mom's Ah Longs

Mom has two Ah Longs: a hokkien-speaking called Beng Choo and a cantonese-speaking called Kim Tai. I called Beng Choo first. This is the second time I called her, the first time was in July 2009 when I bailed Mom out for the first time.
    Me: 我怎样拿钱给你? 你有去云顶无?
    BC: 我很少去云顶。 你直头进银行。
    Me: 你不要再借钱给我老母,我不会再为她还。
    BC: 不要紧, 老母一个吧了, 给她一些钱赌博不要紧,嘿嘿。。。

Beng Choo didn't want to meet me and she was very careful of saying more than she needed to say. Next I called Kim Tai.

    Me: 你不好再借钱给我妈,你知道她有同其他阿窿借无?
    KT: 我不知道,如果我知道,我不会借给她。我不会再借给她,如果我再借,你不需要还。
    Me: 你知道为什么我妈去云顶无?
    KT: 我一直有劝她。我知道你妈一路来都很不开心,她去云顶已经很久了。自从她女儿死后, 她从来没有忘记她,她很伤心。

My sister died of aneurysm in the brain in 1984. May be the problem is deeper than I thought.
