The Good Person of Szechwan (2)

Tonight I finished scene 1 of Good Person. So, Shen Teh has bought up a shop, I'm guessing for over a 1000 silver dollars becuase that's how much she got from the gods and not it is all gone. Shen Teh is a really good person. At least that is what I see. I see a good person trying to help but in the situation of her having no money, it's really hard for her. It was really kind of her to take in ALL of those people. It started to get a little over the top and actually to the point where I saw that the woman was completely taking advantage of her with all these relatives. I now she doesn't mean to, and like she is right, where else could they go. And on top of that I think the Carpenter is a total scammer. He was just looking for extra money. In my opinion, I don't think it was the smartest thing to buy a shop. Shen Teh should have just paid her rent ans continued on with her life. I understand the proprietress needing to know the information, like there's not really anything that could hurt her in that, becuase apparantly she's got this cousin of hers.
