In this chapter, we learn that Jue's gambling has led her to lose the mortgage on the flower shop, and that she will have to close the shop. Jue begs Jue to help her, but Jue refuses, saying that he already lost everything in the business when he gambled away all of its money. He asks Jue if he can borrow some money to keep the shop open, and Jue tells him that she already bought a ticket for the next day's flight. She tells Jue that if he does not make up with her, she will go back to the pawnbroker's shop, where she has already lost all of her money
