When the party is over, the mayor and his son-in-law go inside. The mayor tells the boy that his father once taught at a remote village and that he gave a speech at a university in which he talked about "equality and respect." The mayor says that he still needs to learn more from his son. The father says that his son should learn manners from his mother, because she does not have to. The boy says that the father does not look charming, and the mayor says he cannot figure out why the boy behaves this way. The family name of the mayor's son is jiang, which means "after the second husband." It is rumored that jiang was murdered by his ex-wife in the family house many years ago.
