The next morning, the yue's uncle tells them that the wedding will take place three days later at the nangong's house. The uncle tells the peasants that he has prepared all the food for the wedding, and that they have not seen anything. The geese that the peasants had prepared are dead, and the mother is worried that they will have to do the wedding again. She tells her son that he should catch the geese and give them to the bride for her wedding day. She says that she will need a lot of food from her on the wedding day, since she will not be able to see her son for seven days.
