When Mr. Jin tells his son that he is being punished for something he has done, the boy is horrified. He thinks that it is because he is the one who has ordered the servants to do what they have done to him. He wonders if there is any "feud" between his mother and his father, and wonders why he is so stony-faced when they mention his mother's name. Mr. jin tells him that if he is upset about something, he can punish the servants as long as they do not argue with him. The boy begs him not to fire them, but he does not want to take their jobs away.
